3.1.4. Particle size distribution
BEWand BPG had cumulative values higher than 90% in the diameter
range between 300 to 850 μm and values very close to CWF
(Table 2). SubstitutingCWF by 5% EWF or PGS did not affect the particle
size distribution of the blends,when compared to CWF. The particle size
of flours has a direct influence onwater absorption and dough viscosity.
It can lead to changes in the texture and sensory characteristics of the
products (Walde, Tummala, Lakshminarayan, & Balaraman, 2005).
Therefore, differences in these attributes of breads due to the difference
of particle size of flours used are not expected.
