국내산 시판 밀가루의 품질 평가를 통하여 국내산 밀의 품질 향상 방향과 향후 개선 방향의 기초 자료로 이용하고자 수입산 밀가루와 비교 평가하였다. 시판되는 국내산 밀가루는 통밀 밀가루 백밀 밀가루의 두 가지 형태로 판매되고 있으며, 통밀 밀가루는 백밀 밀가루에 비해 회분함량과 단백질함량이 높고, 밀가루 색이 어두었으며, 반죽시 높은 가수량을 보였다. 국내산 밀가루의 단백질 함량은 수입산 강력분 정도로 높았지만 침전가와 반죽시간은 중력분과 비슷하였
Flour characteristics and end-use quality of 10 commercial flours produced from Korean wheat (Kcom) were evaluated to assess consumersatisfaction with Korean wheat compared with commercial flour (Com) prepared from imported wheats. Two types of Kcom, whole wheatflour and white wheat flour, were found in various markets. Whole wheat flours showed higher ash and protein content, lower lightness, and higher water absorption in mixography, than did white wheat flours. The amylose content of Kcom was similar to that of Com, but peak viscosity and breakdown of Kcom were lower than those of Com. Noodle dough sheet prepared from white flours of Kcom was thinner and lighter than dough sheets prepared using whole wheat flours. Compared to Com, Kcom showed lower noodle dough sheet lightness. The hardness of cooked noodles prepared with Kcom was similar to that of noodles made from Com. When used for bread baking, Kcom showed lower loaf volume, lower crumb lightness, and higher crumb firmness, than did Com.
