Measurement of glass transition in native wheat flour by dynamic mechanical thermal analysis (DMTA)

This work describes a method to study glass transition on native starch powders, based on dynamical mechanical thermal analysis using compression tests, and was applied to wheat flour (13.5% water content). This method will allow the determination of Tg in native (unprocessed) starchy materials, wit...
