Quality characteristics of Korean Wheat flour and Imported Wheat flour

우리밀가루와 수입밀가루의 품질 특성

This study is designed to find out the physicochemical quality and the morphological features of Korean wheat flour and imported wheat flour with a view to shed light on their difference. In terms of components, Korean wheat flour and imported wheat flour are similar, but the latter turns out to be better than the former when it comes to crude protein, the ratio of water absorption and the power of maintenance. Yet Korean wheat flour turns out to be better than imported wheat flour. In terms of the chromaticity of wheat flour, the latter turns out to be higher than the former when it comes to L value, while the former turns out to be higher than the latter when it comes to a value and b value. In terms of the morphological features of wheat flour, both are in the shape of an oval with starch particles irregularly attached to gluten. And imported wheat flour is getter than Korean wheat flour in terms of the size of particles.
