The influence of sodium metabisulphite (SMS) and other glutenmodifying agents on the performance of a commercial biscuit flour in the production of semi-sweet biscuits has been studied. Use of a proteolytic enzyme as a gluten-modifying agent resulted in a dough with a longer mixing time than other d

β¦ Synopsis
The results of laboratory and baking tests applied to 48 commercial flour samples, produced during six growing seasons, have been examined in an attempt to determine methods of predicting the behaviour of flour in making semi sweet biscuits from the results of the laboratory tests. The laboratory tests examined were found to be of limited value for this purpose. The most important single property was the protein content of the flour, which should be within the range 7.5 to 10 %, if biscuits of acceptable appearance and eating quality are to be obtained. Comparison of the results of the present investigation with those published some 20 years ago's2 shows that marked changes have occurred during the intervening years in the properties of flours considered suitable for the manufacture of semi sweet biscuits. It is suggested that, within the range of flour protein content mentioned above, process control is more important than flour properties in the manufacture of this type of biscuit.

## Abstract Fractionation and reconstitution techniques were used to study the contribution of endogenous flour lipids to the quality of shortβdough (shortcake type) biscuits. Biscuit flour was defatted with chloroform and baked with bakery fat, but without endogenous lipid. Shortβdough biscuits ba
