Alveograph Method for Soft and Hard Wheat Flour1
VIEW METHOD
Objective
The alveograph measures resistance of dough to extension and extent to which it can be stretched under the conditions of the method. In this method, a sheet of dough of definite thickness prepared under specified conditions is expanded by air pressure into a bubble until it is ruptured. The internal pressure in bubble is graphically recorded on moving paper or automated integrator.
A video demonstration accompanies this method.
