This class of wheat is grown in the Great Plains area of the U. S. which includes the states of Kansas, Nebraska, Colorado, Oklahoma, Texas, Montana, South Dakota and Wyoming. In 1981, it formed about 40% of total U. S. wheat production. The wheat is a strong type(gluten quality) and its flour produces good bread. Its average protein content is in the range of 12 to 13%; normally it has good test weight(75 to 77 kilograms per hectolitre) and is low in moisture content(11 to 12%). With proper conditioning it gives good milling results. The most prominent varieties of this group in 1981 were Newton, Larned, Eagle and Scout. Hard red winter wheat has no subclasses for grading purposes. It is assigned numerical grades but has somewhat higher(2 pounds for No. 1 and 1 pound for other grades) test weights. 1, record 3, English, - hard%20red%20winter%20wheat

Cette classe de blé est cultivée dans la Prairie américaine (Kansas, Nebraska, Colorado, Oklahoma, Texas, Montana, Dakota du Sud et Wyoming). En 1981, elle représentait environ 40% de la production américaine totale de blé. Ce type de blé est fort en gluten et sa farine donne un bon pain. Pour les protéines, sa teneur moyenne oscille entre 12 et 13%. Son poids spécifique est généralement bon (75 à 77 kg/hl) et sa teneur en eau est faible (11 à 12%). Conditionné convenablement, ce blé possède de bonnes qualités meunières. Les variétés les plus en évidence dans ce groupe, en 1981, étaient le Newton, le Larned, l'Eagle et le Scout (dont le Scout 66). Le blé de force rouge d'hiver n'a pas de sous-classe. On lui attribue des grades numériques, mais il a des poids spécifiques quelque peu plus élevés (2 livres pour le no 1 et 1 livre pour les autres grades). 1, record 3, French, - bl%C3%A9%20de%20force%20rouge%20d%27hiver

For CWRS [Canada Western Red Spring] and CWAD [Canada Western Amber Durum], there are specific limits for kernels damaged by grasshopper and armyworm, midge and sawfly; grasshoppers and armyworms chew out sections of kernels, particularly the ends and sides; at an early stage, armyworms may chew tunnels through the kernels; this destroys the endosperm, and leaves the exposed chewed areas susceptible to fungal and bacterial infections; heavy discolourations and moulds may result; the orange wheat blossom midge causes a distinct form of damage; grade tolerances for midge have existed for many years based primarily on the shrivelling and distortion of midge-damaged kernels; the tiny midge larvae feed directly on the developing kernels in the heads of wheat; the extent of damage largely depends on the number of larvae feeding on each kernel. Only recently have the full effects of midge damage on Canadian red spring bread wheat quality been studied, revealing the seriousness of midge damage to quality. The shrunken distorted grains reduce flour yields and produce dark flours with increased flour ash. Severely midge-damaged wheat exhibits weak, sticky dough properties, low baking absorption and poor bread quality. Protein content is abnormally high, but gluten protein quality is distinctly inferior. 2, record 4, English, - insect%20damage

Dans le cas du blé CWRS [roux de printemps de l'Ouest canadien] et du blé dur CWAD [ambré de l'Ouest canadien, on a fixé des tolérances visant les grains endommagés par la sauterelle et le légionnaire, et la cécidomyie et la tenthrède; les sauterelles et les légionnaires mangent certaines sections des grains, notamment les extrémités et les côtés; les légionnaires peuvent creuser des tunnels dans les jeunes grains; l'albumen en est détruit et les surfaces ainsi exposées risquent d'être atteintes d'infections fongiques et bactériennes; des mouchetures et moisissures importantes peuvent recouvrir la surface des grains; les dommages causés par la cécidomyie du blé sont d'une nature particulière; on a établi il y a longtemps déjà des tolérances pour les grades en ce qui a trait à l'aspect ratatiné et déformé des grains; les larves minuscules se nourrissent directement des grains en croissance sur les épis de blé; l'étendue des dommages est largement fonction du nombre de larves se nourrissant de chaque grain. On n'a que très récemment étudié l'incidence totale des dommages dus à la cécidomyie du blé sur le blé panifiable de la classe roux de printemps. On a alors découvert la gravité de son incidence sur la qualité. Les grains échaudés et déformés donnent moins de farine et celle-ci est terne et a une teneur accrue en cendres. Le blé fortement endommagé par la cécidomyie du blé donne une pâte gluante d'une force insuffisante, affiche un faible pouvoir d'absorption à la cuisson et donne un pain de piètre qualité. La teneur en protéines est très élevée mais la qualité du gluten laisse nettement à désirer. 2, record 4, French, - dommages%20caus%C3%A9s%20par%20les%20insectes

The use of wheat with high protein content and good quality or flour enriched with vital gluten could improve frozen dough stability. Another method to strengthen the flour, namely the use of high-protein air-classified flour, was investigated in this research. A T11 Hurricane Turbo Separator was used to air-classify pin-milled, straight-grade flour from nine wheats. Protein was shifted to the fine fraction, together with damaged starch and enzyme activity. The finer high-protein flour fraction was used to improve frozen dough's quality by blending with straight-grade flour. The bread volume increased with flour protein content. Quality deterioration of dough with extended frozen storage and freeze-thawing was lessened by adding the high-protein flour. This trend was not shown in low-protein wheat flours that(straight grade) contained less than 9 % protein. Other properties of air-classified flour also were investigated to explain their function in making frozen bread dough. 2, record 5, English, - flour%20protein

Pour améliorer la qualité nutritionnelle des farines composées dans le cas où ces dernières contiennent des farines pauvres en protéines. Ceci est particulièrement le cas si l'on utilise des farines de manioc, mais c'est également vrai en cas d'utilisation de céréales secondaires de substitution. L'addition de farines de protéagineuses accroît alors la teneur en protéines de la farine composée. Par ailleurs, les graines protéagineuses sont pauvres en acides aminés soufrés tandis que les céréales sont pauvres en lysine; en mélangeant les deux farines, on rééquilibre la balance des acides aminés et l'on accroît donc la qualité protéique de la farine composée. 2, record 5, French, - prot%C3%A9ine%20de%20la%20farine

When mixed with water the substance referred to as gluten comprises two protein fractions : glutenins which are high molecular weight proteins, 150-1000 kdaltons and gliadins which are smaller molecular weight proteins, 25-100 kdaltons. Both protein fractions are rich in the amino acids glutamine and proline but relatively poor in the more basic amino acids. The better wheat cultivars for bread flour are those which have high amounts of the high molecular weight glutenins. Both intra and inter polypeptide chain disulphide bridges in glutenin appear to be important for the viscoelastic properties of bread dough. The loaf volume is inversely related to the proportion of acid soluble glutenin and directly related to the insoluble glutenin content of the flour. 2, record 6, English, - soluble%20glutenin
