This volume details the effect of manufacturing processes and storage conditions on the thermal, mechanical, and structural properties of cereal flours and their products and covers the development of databases and state diagrams to illustrate the framework and function of cereal flours before, during, and after production. It examines the influence of moisture absorption, storage temperature, thermally induced transitions during baking, and extrusion on flour and food texture, composition, and quality. The authors further discuss methods to adjust processing parameters and formulations to optimize sensory and textural properties of end products.
