Influence of key component interactions in flour on the quality of fried flour products

In the field of food, the interaction between various components in food is commonly used to regulate food quality. Starches, proteins, and lipids are ubiquitous in the food system and play a critical role in the food system. The interaction between proteins, starches, and lipids components in flour is the molecular basis for the formation of the classical texture of dough, and has a profound impact on the processing properties of dough and the quality of flour products. In this article, the composition of the key components of flour (starch, protein and lipid) and their functions in dough processing were reviewed, and the interaction mechanism of the three components in the dynamic processing of dough from mixing to rising to frying was emphatically discussed, and the effects of the components on the network structure of dough and then on the quality of fried flour products were introduced. The analysis of the relationship between dough component interaction, network structure and quality of fried flour products is helpful to reveal the common mechanism of quality change of fried flour products, and provide a reference for exploring the interaction of ingredients in starch food processing.
