Abstract:
Starch is the major component of wheat flour. The changes in its structure and composition will inevitably lead to the change of wheat starch functional properties, and then affect the characteristics of wheat flour noodle. In this paper, the research progress of wheat starch in the structure, composition, modification in recent years were introduced. The effects of changes in the structure and composition of starch in wheat flour on the noodle quality were summarized. It would provide the theoretical basis for flour processing and wheat breeding.
