Abstract: The resting process is an important step during the processing of non-fermented dough. In this paper, the effects of ultrasonic-assisted resting on the rheological properties, water distribution, protein secondary structure and microstructure of dough was studied by a rotational rheometer, low-field nuclear magnetic resonance, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The results showed that ultrasonic-assisted resting could improve the elastic modulus and viscous modulus of dough. The water distribution state moved from adsorbed to bound water; the content of bound water increased to reach a plateau, whereas the opposite trend was observed for the content of adsorbed water. The content of bound water in the ultrasonic-treated dough was increased by 44.0% and the content of adsorbed water was decreased by 11.0% compared with the control sample after resting for 25 min. The results of FTIR and SEM analysis showed that ultrasonic-assisted resting could improve the quality of dough by changing the secondary structure of proteins and microstructure of dough. These results provide a theoretical basis for improving the quality of dough by ultrasonic-assisted resting.
