Ultrastructural Changes in Wheat-Flour Proteins During Fixation and Embedding.

A soft wheat flour was examined by scanning electron microscopy during preparation---osmium fixation, ethanol dehydration, and methacrylate embedding---for transmission electron microscopy. Proteins were modified to form a lamellar and fibrillar matrix. The amount of protein lost by solubilization in fixative, ethanol, and methacrylate solutions was small.
