Many factors can affect wheat gluten properties and functionality. One of the most important, of these factors, is wheat bug damages. Insect injects a salivary proteinase into wheat kernel that results a significant weakening effect on the gluten, in substantial losses in physical quality, dough properties and baking performance. Bread baked with the insect – damaged flour had poor quality and ...
