The correlation of particle size distribution and properties of wheat flour from different systems
The PSD (Particle Size Distribution) and qualities of 41 kinds flour on producing line, and their correlation were analyzed by DPS (Data Processing System) software in this paper, and a method for predicting physic-chemical indexes of flour using PSD parameters was proposed. The results showed that at least one of PSD parameters (D10, D50, D90 or Dav) had highly significant correlation with 13 flour indexes like protein content, wet gluten content, gluten index etc, so the method was effectively feasible in our test.
