Blending Waxy Flour Extends Shelf Life of Noodles, Improving Food Sustainability.
Blending waxy flour with nonwaxy flour changes the properties of starch and noodles. Waxy flour has different starch characteristics, like lower amylose content and faster pasting. Blending waxy flour with nonwaxy flour decreases amylose content and affects noodle quality. Noodles made with waxy flour last longer without losing quality compared to noodles made with only nonwaxy flour.
