The Influence of the Use of Whole Grain Flour from Sprouted Wheat Grain on the Rheological and Microstructural Properties of Dough and Bread by Natalia Naumenko, Irina Potoroko, Irina Kalinina, Rinat Fatkullin, Eva Ivanisova

“…It was found that whole wheat flour from sprouted wheat grain had an even particle size and was characterized by a uniform distribution of particles over the size range (from 53 to 209 microns—61±3%); large particles from 297 to 497 microns were present in an amount of no more than 10±3%. The replacement of 20% refined flour with whole wheat flour from sprouted wheat grain resulted in better values of the farinograph quality index (200±3 mm). …”
