Question 1

Under the Austrian food book (Codex Alimentarius Austriacus Kapitel B 20 'Mahl- und Schälprodukte'), what does the type designation for Austrian wheat flour 'W480' specifically signify?

The flour has a wet gluten content of exactly 48.0 grams per 1,000 grams of flour. The type number is 1,000 times the mineral ash content in % of dry matter, so W480 is nominally 0.48% ash; the Codex tolerance band for this type is 0.33% to 0.58%. The flour requires a water absorption rate of at least 48% at standard farinograph consistency. The flour has a Hagberg-Perten falling number of at least 480 seconds.

Correct Answer:

The type number is 1,000 times the mineral ash content in % of dry matter, so W480 is nominally 0.48% ash; the Codex tolerance band for this type is 0.33% to 0.58%.

Question 2

What is the primary physical and functional distinction in Austrian baking between wheat flour W480 'glatt' (smooth) and W480 'griffig' (coarse/granulated)?

Particle size distribution: 'griffig' has larger endosperm granules that absorb water more slowly and swell gradually, whereas 'glatt' consists of fine particles that hydrate rapidly. Ash content: 'griffig' flour contains 0.70% ash, while 'glatt' flour contains 0.48% ash. Botanical origin: 'griffig' flour is milled exclusively from durum wheat (Triticum durum), while 'glatt' is milled from soft common wheat (Triticum aestivum). Enzyme concentration: 'griffig' flour has added active diastatic malt, whereas 'glatt' is completely enzyme-free.

Correct Answer:

Particle size distribution: 'griffig' has larger endosperm granules that absorb water more slowly and swell gradually, whereas 'glatt' consists of fine particles that hydrate rapidly.

Question 3

Which two main storage protein fractions in wheat flour hydrate and cross-link during mechanical kneading to form the three-dimensional gluten matrix (Klebergerüst)?

Albumin and Globulin Amylose and Amylopectin Gliadin and Glutenin Zein and Hordein

Correct Answer:

Gliadin and Glutenin

Question 4

What are the specific rheological functions of gliadin versus glutenin within the developed wheat dough matrix?

Gliadin provides thermal rigidity, while glutenin enables enzymatic starch degradation. Gliadin creates gas-impermeable crust layers, while glutenin attracts lipid emulsifiers. Gliadin confers elasticity and high resistance to extension, while glutenin provides viscosity and liquidity. Gliadin confers dough extensibility and viscous flow (Dehnbarkeit), while glutenin confers elasticity, tenacity, and resistance to deformation (Elastizität und Dehnwiderstand).

Correct Answer:

Gliadin confers dough extensibility and viscous flow (Dehnbarkeit), while glutenin confers elasticity, tenacity, and resistance to deformation (Elastizität und Dehnwiderstand).

Question 5

At what approximate temperature range does wheat starch undergo gelatinization (Stärkeverkleisterung) during the baking process inside the dough crumb?

55°C to 65°C 30°C to 38°C 85°C to 95°C 120°C to 140°C

Correct Answer:

55°C to 65°C
