<P>Abstract<P>Potato whole flour is a promising way to improve the nutrition of tough biscuits, while its gluten‐free characteristic was difficult to form acceptable texture properties. In this study, cellulase was used to degrade the cellulose in dough enriched with potato whole flour, so as to mitigate the interference of cellulose with the gluten network, resulting in forming the potato whole flour biscuit with great characteristics. Results indicated that cellulase within 0.2% led to the gradually reduced G' and G’’ values of dough from 5.50×104 to 4.00×104 and 2.66×104 to 1.35×104, respectively. Cellulase at 0.2% resulted in the significantly increased tensile properties of the dough compared to the control. The incorporation of cellulase within 0.2% also led to the tightly ordered and intact network structure base on the results of SEM, disulfide bonds determination and FTIR. Those results indicated that cellulase was beneficial to improve the baking quality of dough, which was conductive to form tough biscuit with great characteristics. The hardness, crunchiness, crispness and specific volume analysis results confirmed that 0.2% cellulase resulted in the significantly decreased hardness by 45.25% and the significantly increased specific volume, crunchiness and crispness by 24.74%, 121.20% and 156.47%, respectively. Overall, cellulase ultimately improved the quality of the biscuits by improving the properties and structure of the dough. It was of great significance for the utilization of potato whole flour resources and the industrial production of its tough biscuits.</P></P><P>Practical Application<P>The results showed that inclusion of cellulase led to the reduced hardness and increased crunchiness, crispness, and specific volume of potato whole flour tough biscuits. Cellulase could be used as a potential improver of tough biscuits. This study will provide guidance for practical uses of cellulase in improving potato whole flour dough and tough biscuit quality.</P></P>
