The difference between high-gluten flour and ordinary flour: different protein content, different areas of use, different characteristics.

1, protein content is different

High-gluten flour has an egg content of 10.5-13.5%, darker in color, more active and smooth itself, and it is not easy to form a ball. Ordinary wheat flour, also known as medium-gluten flour, has a protein content of 8.0-10.5%, is creamy in color, is between high and low flour, and has a semi-loose body.

2, different areas of use

High-gluten flour is more suitable for bread, as well as part of the shortcrust pastry class shortening snacks, such as Danish pastry. Medium gluten flour is generally used for Chinese snacks such as buns, steamed buns, noodles and so on.

3, different characteristics

High-gluten flour after mixing with water and kneading repeated action, characterized by gluten, good ductility and high elasticity. Medium gluten flour is more balanced in terms of gluten and viscosity.

Flour preservation method

1, well ventilated flour has respiratory effect, so must make the air circulation, so that the flour has air can be utilized.

2, humidity and dry flour will change its own moisture content according to the temperature and humidity of the environment, the greater the humidity, the increase in the moisture content of the flour, prone to lumps. The smaller the humidity, the smaller the water content of the flour. The ideal humidity is about 60%-70%.

3, the right temperature storage temperature will affect the flour cooking time, the higher the temperature, the faster the cooking. But the temperature also shortens the shelf life of flour. The ideal temperature for flour storage is 18℃-24℃.

4, clean environment can reduce the breeding of pests, microbial reproduction, and thus reduce the chance of flour contamination.

5, no odor flour is a material that will absorb and store odor in the air, so the surrounding environment in the storage of flour, there should be no odor.

6, away from the wall away from the ground in order to have good ventilation, reduce moisture, reduce the contamination of insects and rodents and the provisions of the law, it is necessary. Palletizing boards should be selected with plastic products, such as wood products, should be careful of wood spikes, made of pollution.
