The use of wheat with high protein content and good quality or flour enriched with vital gluten could improve frozen dough stability. Another method to strengthen the flour, namely the use of high-protein air-classified flour, was investigated in this research. A T11 Hurricane Turbo Separator was used to air-classify pin-milled, straight-grade flour from nine wheats. Protein was shifted to the fine fraction, together with damaged starch and enzyme activity. The finer high-protein flour fraction was used to improve frozen dough's quality by blending with straight-grade flour. The bread volume increased with flour protein content. Quality deterioration of dough with extended frozen storage and freeze-thawing was lessened by adding the high-protein flour. This trend was not shown in low-protein wheat flours that(straight grade) contained less than 9 % protein. Other properties of air-classified flour also were investigated to explain their function in making frozen bread dough. 2, record 10, English, - flour%20protein

Two commonly noted phenomena are the reorganization of exsolution bodies and the destruction of colloform textures.... A general decrease in the incidence of colloform textures with an increasing grade of metamorphism has been reported from pyritic deposits in the Urals, Japanese sulphide deposits and Canadian Precambrian volcanic masive sulphide deposits. Both these adjustments generally improve the ores from the point of view of the mineral processor. Exsolution bodies do not pass with their host grains into the wrong concentrate and the replacement of colloform textures by granular intergrowths leads to better mineral separation during grinding. 1, record 12, English, - colloform%20texture
