2. Flour technology Organic/Commercial flours Types, season, climate Additives Conditioners Analytical data Testing of flour- evaluation Spec sheet/Technical data sheet

3. Flours Red/White Winter/Spring Hard/Soft Oxidation/maturing Organic- USDA guidelines Artisan- no maturing agents Commercial

4. Flour : Composition in % Enzymes Starch 70.5 Proteins 12.5 Water 13.5 Minerals & fibres 2 Fat 1.5

5. Variations of Wheat Quality

6. Additives Vitamins- enrichment Malted barley- amylase Fungal amylase Potassium bromide- oxidizer Benzoyl peroxide- bleach Azodicarbonamide- Bleach- acts as maturing agent

7. Analytical specifications Moisture- Max 14% Ash/Extraction rate/Mineral content Protein content- % Enzyme activity- Falling number>250-350 Mixability- Farinograph Elasticity/Extensibility- Alveograph

8. QC of Wheat Flour Typical characteristics of wheat flour that fluctuate, and the test available to check the quality.

9. Flour Characteristics Protein (Amount, quality) Elasticity (P), extensibility (L), Strength (W) P/L =.6 (Alveograph) Mixing properties (Farinograph) Absorption capacity, Development time, Stability ( high protein vs. low) Mixing tolerance index ( high is weaker)

10. Spec sheet States type(s) of wheat Will contain Moisture, Protein and Ash % May have falling number Can request falling # and Farinograph analysis from miller
