Introduction Wheat flour is a must-have flour in every kitchen. It combines all the nutritional benefits of whole grains and is perfect for making bread, chapatis, cakes, muffins and pastries. In this presentation, we have detailed the process of manufacturing whole wheat flour in UAE mills.
The anatomy of wheat grain All wheat grain consists of 3 parts: • Bran - outer layer of wheat grain • Endosperm - largest part of a wheat kernel • Germ - embryo of a wheat plant
Different types of Wheat Flour Depending on the applications, wheat flour are of different types. Hard wheat flour is ideal for baking bread. Soft wheat flour is perfect for making cakes and pastries. Hard wheat and soft wheat is combined to form all-purpose flour whereas durum wheat is used to make semolina and pasta products.
Manufacturing process • Grading the wheat grain:Once the wheat is received in the UAE flour mill, each wheat grain is taken for chemical and physical analysis. Wheat grains of the same grade are stored in silos until needed for milling. • Purifying the wheat :In the flour mill, wheat grains undergo a purification process which scrapes off sticks and stones.
Grinding the wheat:Purified grain is washed in warm water and is placed in a centrifuge. This ensures the moisture content is uniform throughout the wheat grain to prevent breakage during grinding. • Processing the wheat:Wheat processing consists of several steps such as gristing, separating, blending and adding additives. Best flour brands make use of these processes to produce fine wheat flour.
