Abstract:

Attenuated total reflectance-Fourier transform infrared reflectance (ATR-FTIR) and its application in the research of cereal and food/dough system were reviewed in this paper.  The relationships between spectra of ATR-FTIR and conformation of protein and starch, hydration of protein, retrogradation and hydrolysis of starch were mainly introduced.  Having superior advantage of surface sensitivity, the uses of ATR-FTIR as a new tool in studying dough stickiness and the mechanism were also described.

Key words: ATR-FTIR, cereal, dough, protein, starch, stickiness
