Abstract
Suitability of germinated wheat for chapatti making was determined by comparison with chapatti made from ungerminated wheat (control). Germination of wheat made it more friable, and produced a flour with reduced falling number (reflection of alpha-amylase activity) but increased reducing sugars and diastatic activity. Germinated wheat flour gave a lower yield of chapattis due to a lower water requirement (59.4%) than the control (68.6%) for making dough of optimum consistency. There was no difference in rolling characteristics of the 2 doughs, but dough made from germinated wheat flour developed a slight stickiness and had a greater increase in reducing sugars during resting than the control (4.3 to 8.5% and 2.8 to 5.3%, resp.). Chapatti made from germinated wheat flour was less pliable and had darker charred coloured spots; eating quality was poor due to a harder texture, but it had a sweetish taste. After storage, the germinated wheat chapatti had improved eating quality and taste compared with the dry, brittle control. Acceptable chapattis can therefore be made from germinated or rain-damaged wheat.
