DOUGH-MIXING CONTROL METHOD AND DEVICE CAPABLE OF DETERMINING DOUGH GLUTEN DEVELOPMENT

摘要

A dough-mixing control device capable of determining dough gluten development is mounted on a dough mixer and has a controller, a power sensor, a temperature sensor, an output module and an operation module. The controller is electrically connected to the power sensor, temperature sensor, output module and operation module. Each parameter and determination condition inputted through the operation module is transmitted to the controller. A dough gluten development determination procedure built in the controller controls temperature and gluten development of mixed dough and performs statistical calculation according to the inputted parameters and determination conditions so as to acquire the optimal gluten development of dough. Accordingly, drawbacks such as high human production cost and unstable dough quality of conventional dough mixing that relies on human experience to determine dough gluten development can be resolved.

主权项

1. A dough-mixing control method capable of determining dough gluten development, comprising:
a dough gluten development determination step determining if a moving average ratio of average current or power has reached its maximum where the average current or power is consumed by a dough mixer while mixing a piece of dough, and if positive, further determining that an optimal condition of dough gluten of the piece of dough has been reached; and a statistical production control step recording or calculating an optimal total mixing time and an optimal total mixing energy associated with a dough recipe, wherein the optimal total mixing time is equal to a calculated sum of multiple mixing periods corresponding to multiple mixing speed stages in the dough mixing process, and the optimal total mixing energy is equal to a sum of power consumed in the mixing speed stages in the dough mixing process.
