Findings: Particle sizes were similar for direct fine grind WWF and multiple‐ pass durum flour:fine bran and for direct coarse grind WWF and multiple‐pass semolina:coarse bran flour. Direct coarse grind and semolina:coarse bran had better flowing properties than direct fine grind and durum flour:fine bran. Wet agglomer- ates were smaller with coarsely ground semolina/bran than finely ground flour/bran. Specific mechanical energy needed to extrude semolina, durum flour:WWF doughs were similar and not affected by milling system. Conclusions: Flow and wet agglomeration properties of direct coarse grind and reconstituted WWF of semolina and coarse bran were better than those of finely ground WWF for whole‐wheat pasta production. Significance and novelty: This research adds to the limited information available concerning the impact of milling process on the flow, agglomeration, and pasta processing properties of WWF. This information is useful to pasta manufacturers when adjusting equipment involved in movement of raw ingredients and in pasta production.

    The Canadian Wheat Board and the creative re- constitution of the Canada-UK wheat trade: wheat and bread in food regime history by André J. R. Magnan A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Graduate Department of Sociology University of Toronto © Copyright by André Magnan 2010. Abstract Title: The Canadian Wheat Board and the creative re-constitution of the Canada-UK wheat trade: wheat and bread in food regime history Author: André J. R. Magnan Submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Graduate Department of Sociology University of Toronto, 2010. This dissertation traces the historical transformation of the Canada-UK commodity chain for wheat-bread as a lens on processes of local and global change in agrofood relations. During the 1990s, the Canadian Wheat Board (Canada‟s monopoly wheat seller) and Warburtons, a British bakery, pioneered an innovative identity- preserved sourcing relationship that ties contracted prairie farmers to consumers of premium bread in the UK. Emblematic of the increasing importance of quality claims, traceability, and private standards in the reorganization of agrifood supply chains, I argue that the changes of the 1990s cannot be understood outside of historical legacies giving shape to unique institutions for regulating agrofood relations on the Canadian prairies and in the UK food sector. I trace the rise, fall, and re-invention of the Canada-UK commodity chain across successive food regimes, examining the changing significance of wheat- bread, inter-state relations between Canada, the UK, and the US, and public and private forms of agrofood regulation over time.

  • Whole Wheat Pasta Recipe 031211
    Recipe: Whole Sonora Wheat Fettuccine or Noodles Note: Whole Ethiopian Blue Tinge wheat can also be made into fettuccine with this recipe Most commercial extruded Italian pasta is made with durum wheat but Italians, like the Chinese, also use common soft wheat for cut pasta and noodles. Sonora wheat is a common soft wheat, with a light golden bran color. Stone ground whole Sonora wheat flour with water, makes up into simple cut-ribbon pasta, or noodles, very well indeed. However, there is an art to making quick cooking, fork-twirling cut ribbons, or fettuccine as the Italians would call them. In developing this method I received good advice and thank my long time friend Sam Huang who works with California wheat daily in the laboratory of the California Wheat Commission. The method below owes much to Sam Huang, especially the need for an exceedingly stiff dough that finally rolls out to be beautifully soft and pliable. Pasta from a softer starting dough is not easily cut and is impossible to hang out to dry, without it stretching and falling from the drying rack. Nor is this a grainy textured whole wheat pasta, because all the flour is added at the beginning and has ample time to become thoroughly hydrated and for the bran to become very soft. The final method, which is my responsibility, includes the use of very warm water. Still I am ready to receive any comments from which to learn; I am as yet quite new to this style of pasta making. For example, when I hang this pasta to dry, it curls somewhat and makes it difficult to store in a package without breaking*.

  • Whole Grain Goodness
    Nutrition Know-How Child Health Specialty Clinics Whole Grain Goodness What is a whole grain? A whole grain food has all three parts of the grain, and each part has different vitamins and minerals that work together to provide nutrition. Many people only think of wheat and other bread products when they hear the word “grain,” but there are many foods that contain whole grains. Why do whole grains matter? Whole grains are higher in fiber, iron and vitamins than processed grains like white flour. Fiber can help your child pass bowel movements, and iron and vitamins are very important for a child’s growth and development. People who eat more whole grains are less likely to struggle with their weight and other serious health conditions like colon cancer. How much whole grain does my child need? This depends on your child’s age and size. A good guide is to make at least half of your child’s grain servings whole grain. For example, if your child eats 6 servings of grain, at least 3 of those servings should be whole grain. How do I know if a food is whole grain? Look for the words “whole grain” on the package. Foods with at least 51% whole grain will have a special label on them like the one shown at the top of this page. You can also check the ingredients; to be a whole grain product a food should have a whole grain listed as the first ingredient. A whole grain bread will have “whole wheat flour” as the first ingredient.

    Identifying Whole Grain Rich Foods Using the Rule of Three Welcome to Tuesday Talks! Today we are going to cover how to identify whole grain rich foods using the Rule of Three. 1 Webinar Takeaways 1. What is Whole Grain Rich (WGR) 2. How to use the CACFP Reference Guide 3. How to identify creditable and non-creditable grains and grain derivatives 4. How to read an ingredients list Today, we want you to walk away knowing these important points: 1. Understand what is meant by whole grain rich (WGR), 2. Learn how to use the CACFP Reference Guide, 3. How to identify creditable and non-creditable grains and grain derivatives and 4. How to read an ingredients list Now, let’s go through these points in more detail. 2 Whole Grain Rich (WGR) At least half of grains are whole grain and remaining GRAINS are whole grain, enriched, bran, or germ • One grain per day must be whole grain rich (WGR) • Not required for infants First let’s start off with a definition from USDA. Whole grain rich (WGR) means that at least half of the grains in a food are whole grain and the remaining grain ingredients are whole grain, enriched grain, bran, or germ. In the CACFP, at least one WGR item must be served per day. However, this requirement does not apply to infants (ages 0 through 11 months). 3 CACFP Reference Guide Tool to Found under Identify WGR GM 12 Foods CACFP Reference Guide We are going to be using a flowchart that is in the CACFP Reference Guide, shown on this slide.

  • Types of Flour Used in Baking
    FN-SSB.921 Types of Flour KNEADS A LITTLE DOUGH Used in Baking The use of different flours will result in varied textures, flavors, and nutritional value. Some flours will produce a heavy, compact bread, while others will produce a lighter bread. Some flours may cause a full- bodied or bitter flavor while others present a nutty, woodsy flavor. Follow your recipe for best results. With practice you can begin to substitute flours with good success. All-purpose flouris a blend of hard and soft wheat. Self-rising flouris simply all-purpose flour pre-blended with baking powder and salt. Bread flour is made from hard wheat, which has a high protein content. It is the preferred flour for making bread. Enriched flourhas the B-vitamins and iron, that are lost during milling, added back to the flour. Whole-wheat flouris milled from the whole kernel. When used alone, whole-wheat flour produces a heavy, compact, dark bread. The germ and bran cut the developing gluten strands. Whole-wheat bread flouris ground from hard wheat and has a higher gluten content. To create your own whole wheat bread flour, add one tablespoon gluten to each cup of whole-wheat flour. Graham flourresembles whole wheat flour in taste but has less protein. Durum flouris made from the hardest of wheats. A bread made entirely from durum wheat is inedible. Semolina flouris durum flour minus the bran and wheat germ. It is usually used as a pasta flour but can be used in breads. Kamut flouris a relative of durum wheat. It is high in protein but low in gluten, so it must be combined with a higher gluten flour to produce an acceptable bread.

    WHOLE-WHEAT FLOUR MILLING AND THE EFFECT OF DURUM GENOTYPES AND TRAITS ON WHOLE-WHEAT PASTA QUALITY A Dissertation Submitted to the Graduate Faculty of the North Dakota State University of Agriculture and Applied Science By Lingzhu Deng In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Major Program: Cereal Science June 2017 Fargo, North Dakota North Dakota State University Graduate School Title WHOLE-WHEAT FLOUR MILLING AND THE EFFECT OF DURUM GENOTYPES AND TRAITS ON WHOLE-WHEAT PASTA QUALITY By Lingzhu Deng The Supervisory Committee certifies that this disquisition complies with North Dakota State University’s regulations and meets the accepted standards for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY SUPERVISORY COMMITTEE: Dr. Frank Manthey Chair Dr. Senay Simsek Dr. Julie Garden-Robinson Dr. Elias Elias Approved: November 1st, 2017 Dr. Richard Horsley Date Department Chair ABSTRACT An ultra-centrifugal mill was evaluated by determining the effect of mill configuration and seed conditioning on particle size distribution and quality of whole-wheat (WW) flour. Ultra-centrifugal mill configured with rotor speed of 12,000 rpm, screen aperture of 250 μm, and seed conditioning moisture of 9% resulted in a fine WW flour where 82% of particles were <150 µm, starch damage was 5.9%, and flour temperature was below 35°C. The single-pass and multi-pass milling systems were evaluated by comparing the quality of WW flour and the subsequent WW spaghetti they produced. Two single-pass mill configurations for an ultra-centrifugal mill were used (fine grind: 15,000 rpm with 250 μm mill screen aperture and coarse grind: 12,000 rpm with 1,000 μm mill screen aperture) to direct grind durum grain or to regrind millstreams from roller milling to make WW flour and WW spaghetti.
