Description

Hind El Bouzidi and colleagues bake-test thirteen Moroccan bread wheat varieties across three contrasting zones, in this study from twenty twenty-six. Dough behavior was read with a Mixolab instrument on wholemeal flour at a fixed water level, an intentional departure from the standard method, and stability statistics sorted the varieties.

Genetics, environment, and their interaction all mattered strongly for every dough measure. Environment ruled some traits, like protein weakening rate, while genotype ruled the starch-cooking endpoints. Three flour personalities emerged: slack, balanced, and starch-driven. Five varieties, Kenz, Najia, Khadija, Malika, and Ibtissam, stayed steadiest across zones. The authors are careful: one season and fixed hydration limit the claims, and rankings could shift under the standard protocol. The work shows how stability analysis can guide variety choice for erratic climates.
