In order to provide theoretical basis for improving processing qualities of Xinjiang Hand Stretched Noodles (XHSN) of Xinjiang winter wheat, the relationship of grain traits and milling qualities to XHSN was analyzed by 109 Xinjiang winter wheat variety resources as tested material.In grains traits, thousand grain weight significantly correlated with stretch feeling, surface, and smoothness.Grain hardness correlated significantly with firmness.Protein content correlated significantly negatively with surface, viscoelasticity, smoothness, taste & flavor, and total score at 0.01 level.In milling qualities, flour yield correlated significantly with firmness.Ash content significantly negatively correlated with taste & flavor.L*value significantly correlated with firmness.a*value significantly correlated with stretch feeling, viscoelasticity, color, and total score.b*value significantly negatively correlated with stretch feeling, viscoelasticity, smoothness, and total score, and significantly negatively correlated with color at 0.01 level.Overall, grain protein content and flour color are important characters of grain traits and milling qualities which has most effect on processing qualities of XHSN.Grain protein content and flour yellowness (b*V) significantly negatively correlated with total score of XHSN as linear correlate relationship.In winter wheat high quality breeding program of XHSN, grain protein content should maintain an appropriate range, but the flour yellowness (b*V) should be reduced, in order to improve the Xinjiang winter wheat grain traits and milling qualities, and achieve the purpose of improving processing quality of XHSN.Through a comprehensive analysis on grain traits and milling qualities of Xinjiang winter wheat variety resources with high processing quality of XHSN, we determined that the quality traits standards of winter wheat for high processing quality of XHSN should be thousand grain weight≥40.34g, grain diameter ≥2.77 mm, grain hardness≥63.78, test weight≥779.85, protein content (14%MB) 14.27%~16.90%, flour yield ≥61.91%,ash content (14%MB)≤0.45%,L*value ≥90.87,a*value≥-1.16, and b*value≤10.01. |
