Reactive and Total Sulfhydryl and Disulfide Contents of Flours of Different Mixing Properties.

Total and reactive SH and S-S contents were determined for seven flours having dough development times between 25 (very strong) and 2 (weak) min. Total and reactive SH contents and the ratio reactive/total SH increased with decreasing strength. Total S-S contents decreased slightly whereas the reactive S-S and the ration reactive/total S-S increased with decreasing strength. For the flours examined, mixing strength appears to be inversely related to reactive SH and S-S contents.
