Summary
The general dynamic mechanical properties of wheat flour doughs have been investigated for a range of strains over a frequency spectrum of 0.032–32 Hz. An approximately linear stress-strain relationship was found to hold at the lower range of strains imposed. Departures from the linear response of the dough are explained in terms of a protein chain-starch granule interaction and the accompanying time dependence in terms of a stress-biased diffusion process. The influence of water and temperature on the dynamic moduli are shown, indicating that a frequency-temperature and a water absorption-frequency superposition principle is applicable. The transient stress relaxation modulus is calculated from the dynamic moduli to demonstrate the ability of dynamic methods to investigate the time scale inaccessible to transient techniques.
