Why is gluten so important? How to get the gluten index?

In the eyes of the baker, the uses of flour are quite different. Anyone who has made steamed buns knows that the flour is mixed with water to form a dough, divided, fermented, and steamed. However, the bread making process is quite particular. The most common way for baker to judge the dough shape is to take out the dough and pull out the film. Just like why home-made bread has a hard taste, it does not highlight the softness and chewy texture of the bread. This requires us to understand the principle of gluten in the process of making bread.
There are low, medium, and high gluten flours in the market. People often think that high gluten content in wheat is high-quality wheat, but the gluten quality and gluten strength are not paid enough attention. In fact, the quantity and quality of gluten are evaluating the quality of wheat. Time is of equal importance and complementary effects. There are two factors that determine the quality of wheat, namely the "quality" and "quantity" of gluten. There are many ways to measure the quality of gluten, among which the gluten index method is a quick measurement method. So how to get the gluten index?

Gluten meter


At present, relevant scientific research institutes commonly use gluten analyzers to determine gluten. You can get gluten by adding 10g flour or whole wheat flour to 5ml salt water, mixing it in a washing cup with a screen for 20 seconds to form a dough, and then washing it with salt water for 5 minutes. Under the action of centrifugation, the wet gluten content and gluten index can be calculated according to the method specified in SB/T10248-95.
It is understood that the instrument is controlled by a microcomputer and completes the test process with one key without personnel guarding; the panel is humanized, simple and generous, touch-type keys, and long service life; the instrument is noise-free, maintenance-free, beautiful in appearance, and more accurate in data.

Polyether Polyols

This series products are the block and random copolymers made from allyl alcohol, EO and PO. And they are main materials for synthesizing polyether polysiloxane. Polyether modified polysiloxane can dissolve in the water and oil, and it is easy to regulate. It has all the excellent performances of the traditional polysiloxane product, in the meanwhile, it has the function of the lubricating, softening, good spreading and emulsification stability offered by polyether chains. And it can be used as PU foam stabilizers, textile auxiliary, oil field demulsifier, cosmetic auxiliary, coating leveling agent, detergent, defoaming agent and emulsifier etc. the copolymer of the polyether reacting with hydrogen containing silicone oil can be applied as PU foam stabilizers , textile auxiliary, oil field demulsifier and emulsifier etc..
