Properties of grain and starch from varieties of wheat with different technological quality were measured. It appeared that besides the well known wheat properties such as high gluten content and medium enzymatic activity, the content of soluble carbohydrates is also important from the baking point of view. Moreover, medium solubility, not too low phosphorus content and high molecular mass of starch (isolated from wheat varieties) are essential to good quality of wheat.
Effect replacement of wheat flour with spelt flour on the rheological parameters, baking quality and sensory acceptance was studied. Increasing level of spelt flour in the flour blend concluded in enhanced water absorption capacity and longer dough development time. Addition of spelt flour affected baking and sensory parameters of products. The assessors evaluated as the most acceptable baked goods with 15% addition of spelt flour.
