Possible associations between three procedures to measure noodle starch quality in winter wheat (Triticum aestivum L.)

Creator:: Weight, Chris (Christopher Thompson)
Abstract:: Until recently, the viscoamylograph had been the primary method for measuring starch as it relates to noodle quality in wheat. This method requires a large sample of flour and is time consuming. With the introduction of the rapid visco-analyser (RVA) in 1986 and the more recent flour swelling volume procedure,...
