In 1961 a method was introduced for mixing macaroni dough at 30 to 35% absorption on the farinograph. Among durum wheat varieties there is quite a variation in mixing characteristics. The curves are normally described by three parameters: dough development time (DDT): time in minutes required for the curve to reach a peak; maximum consistency (MC): viscosity measured in Brabender Units (B.U.) at the peak of the curve; tolerance index (TI): difference in consistency between the values at the peak and four minutes past the peak. 1, record 2, English, - maximum%20consistency

En 1961, on a adopté une méthode de pétrissage de la pâte à macaroni entre 30 % et 35 % d'absorption au farinographe. Les variétés de blé dur offrent une grande diversité de propriétés se rapportant au pétrissage. Les courbes sont normalement décrites par trois paramètres : durée d'élaboration de la pâte (D.E.P.) : le temps (en minutes) nécessaire pour que la courbe atteigne un pic; consistance maximale (C.M.) : la viscosité mesurée en unités Brabender (U.B.) au pic de la courbe; indice de tolérance (I.T.) : la différence de consistance entre la valeur pic et la valeur quatre minutes après. 1, record 2, French, - consistance%20maximale
