  • Patent number: 12127564
    Abstract: Disclosed are a preparation method and application of flour with low oil absorption during frying, belonging to the field of flour modification. The preparation method of flour with low oil absorption during frying increases the cross-linking degree of starch, protein, and starch-protein in the flour by adding glutamine transaminase first and then phytic acid or adding phytic acid first and then glutamine transaminase so as to improve the compactness of the flour structure, which reduces water evaporation and oil absorption during frying after the flour is made into dough, and thus ultimately forms the modified flour with low oil absorption during frying. The method is simple, green, pollution-free, and low in energy consumption, and the modified flour prepared has improved thermal stability and reduced oil absorption after frying.

Memory cells that are to remain in programmed states may be inhibited from erase during the post-program erase. In an aspect, the post-program erase does not have an erase verify, which saves time and/or power. In an aspect, the post-program erase includes applying a single erase pulse, which saves time and/or power. In an aspect, the duration of the post-program erase pulse is shorter than an erase pulse used prior to programming, which saves time and/or power.
