An increase with mixing time was observed for all the samples the maximum was generally reached after 8 min with the only
exception of SC-D (16min).For lower mixing times the empirical elasticity of WF-D was very similar to that of SL-D and higher than the FR-D one. On the contrary. SC-D seemed actually to exhibit more viscous than elastic properties probably due to sucrose ability to retain water. thus acting as a softening agent producing a slack non cohesive dough mass
