The Canadian Wheat Board's durum wheat market development program can be used to illustrate how knowledge of the quality standards and processing methods of a purchasing country can be used by the Canadian grain industry to introduce and evaluate new grains. Durum quality development in the past catered largely to European requirements, and Canadian durum wheats were preferred in many European countries. However, Canadian durums traditionally lacked the high gluten strength demanded by the Italian market. 1, record 4, English, - durum%20wheat%20program

On peut prendre l'exemple du programme de développement des marchés des blés durs de la Commission canadienne du blé pour montrer comment la connaissance des normes de qualité et des méthodes de transformation d'un pays importateur peuvent aider l'industrie céréalière canadienne à commercialiser et à évaluer des nouveaux grains. Dans le passé, les variétés de blé dur étaient surtout destinées au marché européen dont plusieurs pays ont toujours préféré les blés canadiens de ce type. Toutefois, les blés durs canadiens ne possédaient pas un gluten de la force élevée demandée par le marché italien. 1, record 4, French, - programme%20des%20bl%C3%A9s%20durs

Durum is the hardest of all wheats. Its density, combined with its high protein content and gluten strength, make durum the wheat of choice for producing premium pasta products. Pasta made from durum is firm with consistent cooking quality. Durum kernels are amber-colored and larger than those of other wheat classes. Also unique to durum is its yellow endosperm, which gives pasta its golden hue. 2, record 5, English, - durum%20wheat

A modification of the Zeleny Sedimentation test was introduced by Axford et al. for predicating baking quality by estimating gluten characteristics. Sodium dodecyl sulphate(SDS) as a dispersing medium makes the test very sensitive and has proven to be an excellent test for assessing gluten strength.

An exemple is the sodium dodecyl sulfate(SDS)-sedimentation test developed in the United Kingdom to select for gluten strength in common wheat. The SDS test quickly became established as an early generation selection test in both the Canadian and American durum wheat breeding programs. The SDS test was embraced by the American pasta industry as a durum wheat purchasing specification to guarantee strong gluten because it was rapid and gave a quantificable result. Therefore, although the SDS test was a great asset in selecting strong gluten durum wheat lines early durum wheat breeding programs, it impeded the marketing of commercial durum wheat parcels that did not meet industry SDS standards. 1, record 7, English, - sodium%20dodecyl%20sulfate%20sedimentation%20test
