Ever wondered if the wheat you're buying truly matches its label? 🔍🌾We're using near-infrared spectroscopy (NIR) to uncover surprising patterns in wheat categories. By analyzing wheat samples, we're creating a visual representation where different colors signify different wheat categories. While some grains align perfectly with their expected category, others tell a different story. Our analysis shows that while some wheat varieties clearly stand out, others surprisingly cluster together despite different labels. This means that the biochemical composition of the purchased grains often differs from what was expected, leading to inconsistencies in quality and performance. As an example, millers might be paying a premium for wheat that's functionally identical to a cheaper option! By accurately identifying wheat composition, we can help millers optimize their purchasing decisions and ensure product consistency. 🎯 #Wheat #NIRtechnology #Foodtech #Millinginnovation #Bakingindustry

I have noticed through my observation of many mills that they use regular unfiltered water for hydrating wheat. What are the key points that should be present in the water used for hydration to achieve a good final product? Filtered water is crucial for the hydration of wheat and significantly affects the final quality of flour. Here are several key points highlighting the importance of using filtered water: 1. **Purity of Water**: Filtered water is free from impurities and contaminants, which is essential for maintaining the quality of wheat. Any contaminants present can adversely impact the wheat's properties and result in undesirable flour quality. 2. **Ionic Balance**: Using filtered water helps achieve a suitable ionic balance, which positively influences the dough's characteristics. Unwanted ions can disrupt the cohesion and elasticity of the dough. 3. **pH Level**: Filtered water aids in maintaining an optimal pH level, which is vital for enhancing the fermentation process. An imbalanced pH can lead to various issues affecting the quality of both the dough and the flour. 4. **Water Hardness**: Filtered water typically has low hardness, which prevents the accumulation of salts on wheat grains and processing equipment. This improves the efficiency of the hydration process and minimizes the risks associated with sediment buildup. 5. **Mineral Content**: Filtered water generally contains lower levels of dissolved minerals, which helps mitigate their negative effects on flour quality. High concentrations of certain minerals can alter the flavor and characteristics of the flour. do you think the filter waters is nessosery? #wheatmill #mill

*Rice Mill* 🌌 A rice mill is an industrial facility designed for the processing of rice grains to produce various products such as refined rice for consumption, rice flour, rice bran, and other by-products. It involves a series of steps including cleaning, husking, polishing, sorting, and packaging, aimed at transforming raw rice into marketable products ready for distribution and consumption. Uses 1) Rice Processing 2) Rice Flour Production 3) By-Product Utilization 4) Value-Added Products 5) Export and Trade #ricemill #riceprocessing

Showcasing the 50TPD Wheat Mill Plant in action! 🌾 Wheat milling is a vital process transforming raw wheat grains into versatile and nutritious flour used in various food products. Here’s a glimpse into our production stages: 1️⃣ **Cleaning**: Thoroughly removing impurities. 2️⃣ **Conditioning**: Achieving the right moisture content for milling. 3️⃣ **Milling**: Breaking down outer layers and separating the nutrient-rich endosperm. 4️⃣ **Grinding**: Producing fine flour particles. Quality control is key throughout the process to ensure consistency and purity. Finally, the flour is carefully packaged and ready for distribution. #WheatMilling #FoodProduction #QualityControl #ManufacturingExcellence

Over the years in the industry, we have come across instances of misconceptions about the possibility of replacing durum with high-vitreous #soft_wheat_flour_in_pasta_production. 🤔 This opinion finds no support among the grain processing technologists. Based on the fact that hard and soft wheat not only differ in the value of grain quality indicators (#vitreousness, #gluten and #protein_content) but they differ as well in the grain structure, which determines these characteristics. Thus, the aleurone layer is more developed in the grain of hard wheat than in the grain of soft wheat. It contains larger spherical translucent aleurone grains, tightly bound together. In durum the endosperm is represented by small plastid and chondriosome starch grains embedded in a protein matrix. This structure forms a hard vitreous grain, which is not milled into flour, but crumbles to form semolina. The endosperm of soft wheat, which consists of large starch grains not completely covered by protein strands, is easily broken down during milling to form fine flour. As a result , pasta products made from hard wheat semolina retain their shape and texture when cooked, while products made from soft wheat, even with high glassiness, are characterized by lower quality and lose their shape when cooked, becoming doughy. 💩 The established morphological differences in the grain structure of hard and soft wheat have a decisive influence on the organization and conduct of technological processes of #flour_production, as a result of which the #preparation_and_milling of grain of these species are fundamentally different. Thus, when introducing wheat into production, the issues of studying the peculiarities of grain microstructure, providing its technological properties, are of particular relevance. 💡 #Grain_Improvers clearly understands the relationship between #grain_morphological_characteristics (microstructure in particular) and its technological properties. That is why in our product line we offer #enzyme_grain_conditioners, the composition of which is aimed at realizing the potential of a particular type of grain, depending on its morphological characteristics.

Cereals & QC Time travel Episode 90 – 2018 Poster (GB) Laboratory assessment of the Milling Performance Index Laboratory milling is an essential part of wheat quality control procedures. There is a need to laboratory mill wheat, in a repeatable and reproducible manner to obtain flour for further analysis. However, the only parameters operators routinely consider are flour extraction and ash content. Although these parameters are valuable, they are quite limiting in the information that can be obtained regarding wheat behavior during milling. Experience shows that flour extraction and wheat behavior during milling differ. It makes sense for millers to select wheat with the highest extraction potential but also wheat performing consistently in their production scheme. 150 kinds of wheat from 14 countries have been analyzed using the CHOPIN Experimental mill (LabMill-Standard setting picture 1). Wheat tempering was performed at 16% moisture, and 24h resting time according to ISO 27971. The new Milling Performance Index proposal brings a new perspective to experimental milling through a description of wheat behavior during milling. Data shows that thanks to the complete information obtained from the different streams, the LabMill has the potential to establish a link between the laboratory and the production plant, selecting or blending wheat not only based on extraction rate but rather on their real grinding behavior during milling.

Exploring the relationship between grain quality and functionality in the wheat supply chain 🔬🔄🌾 Navigating the complexities of the wheat supply chain poses numerous challenges, particularly when it comes to ensuring consistent grain quality. Factors such as environmental conditions, genetic variations, storage methods, and handling practices often disrupt grain sourcing. Despite expectations, grains may not always meet performance standards, presenting significant obstacles for both the milling and baking industries. ❌🍞 In milling, grain inconsistency leads to variations in flour quality, requiring different milling settings for grains with varying hardness or moisture content and resulting in flour with different gluten levels, affecting dough elasticity and bread quality. In bakeries, inconsistent flour quality requires adjustments in recipes and processes to maintain product consistency and quality. The functionality properties of grains play a crucial role in determining their suitability for various applications along the supply chain. As we investigate these matters, follow us for updates👣➡️👥 and be the first to learn about our initiatives to enhance quality across a range of crops! 🤫🌾
