Abstract: Effect of stachyose on flour quality has been studied in this paper. The results showed that stachyose dropped the water absorption of flour, improved the stability and valorimeter value, increased dough energy of extensograph, decreased maximum viscosity and breakdown of viscograph, and resisted starch retrogradation. Naturally, 5 percent stachyose of flour is suitable in the staple food bread.

Key words: stachyose, farinograph, extensograph, starch paste property
