The research aims to explore how protein, starch, and fiber composition influence dough rheology and baking quality in wheat.
Prepared composite samples from 755 field samples of hard red spring wheat (HRSW)
Analyzed flour composition using various techniques including GlutoPeak and Rapid Visco Analyzer
Utilized multivariate modeling to evaluate relationships between compositional properties and baking outcomes
Higher ratios of high-molecular-weight glutenin (HMW-GS) correlate with improved dough strength and bread volume
Lower ratios of HMW to low-molecular-weight (LMW) proteins are associated with diminished baking quality
Strong predictive model for loaf volume achieved with a combination of protein and compositional metrics (R2 > 0.860)
