The wheat may contain impurities that enter from the field, during storage and transport, or accidentally. These impurities include vegetable, animal and mineral matter and other impurities. These impurities, together with damaged, shrunken and broken kernels, are collectively known as "screenings"("Besatz" on the continent of Europe; "dockage" in the USA). 4, record 1, English, - screenings

Los granos que contienen impurezas (fragmentos del mismo producto) y materias extrañas (residuos vegetales y cuerpos extraños, como tierra, etc.) son portadores de una mayor cantidad de microorganismos y presentan condiciones que facilitan su deterioro. Las materias extrañas, impurezas, bajo las mismas condiciones de humedad relativa y temperatura del aire, presentan contenidos de humedad más altos que el producto. 3, record 1, Spanish, - materias%20extra%C3%B1as

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 2, 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 2, French, - dommages%20caus%C3%A9s%20par%20les%20insectes
