The effect ofwhole wheat flour granulation, bran size, damaged starch and protein contents on the quality of chapati is reported. The cutting, puncture and stretching force values (taken on Zwick universal testing machine) on chupaties produced from finer whole wheat flour with higher damaged starch as well as higher water absorption, were lower, thus indicating their soft texture. The inclusion of coarse bran (15%) into 85% extraction flour, adversely affected the chapati texture; however a similar addition of fine bran showed no deterimental effect.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
