Abstract
To study the effects of highland barley flour with different particle sizes on dough characteristics and noodle quality, highland barley flours (median particle sizes of 223.25, 143.12, 90.73, 42.33 and 19.26 μm, respectively) were mixed with the wheat flour to make noodles. The damaged starch content of highland barley flour with five particle sizes was 47.0, 61.0, 62.3, 102.0, and 108.0 g/kg, respectively. The reconstituted flour containing highland barley powder with smaller particle sizes showed higher viscosity and water absorption. The smaller the particle size of barley flour, the lower the cooking yield, shear force and pasting enthalpy of the noodles, and the higher the hardness of the noodles. As the particle size of barley flour decreases, the structural density of the noodles increases. This study is expected to provide a constructive reference for the development of barley-wheat composite flour and the production of barley-wheat noodles.
