  • Biological Sciences

OBS

For the practical purpose of measuring protein quality, many empirical tests have been developed that can be applied directly to flour or ground wheat. Among those that have widespread use is the Pelshenke dough ball expansion test.

CONT

One interesting, preliminary result has indicated that the addition of copper plus zinc fertilizer has increased dough strength (Pelshenke test) but that addition of high rates of nitrogen appear to negate this increase (Jason Young).
