There are two different commercial wheat debranning systems, the Tkac(1992) procedure and the ’PeriTec' process, marketed by Satake Corporation(McGee 1995). In both processes the wheat bran layers are removed by successive passages through modified rice polishers. A short conditioning period(3 to 5 min) is used to ensure that water penetrates into the outer regions only of the seed coat. Abrasion is used first in the Satake process, followed by friction, as in rice polishing. In the Tkac system the outer layers are removed first by friction passages followed by abrasion passages. 4, record 1, English, - debranning%20of%20wheat

Research has shown that debranning prior to milling leads to improved baking quality and nutritional value, eradication of microbial contamination and the potential for creating value-added products. 5, record 1, English, - debranning%20of%20wheat

The objectives in wheat conditioning are primarily to improve the physical state of the grain for milling... The processes of conditioning involve the addition of moisture to wheats that are too dry or its removal from those that are too wet, and often the heating and cooling of grain for definite periods of time, in order to obtain the desired average moisture content in the mass of the grain, and the desired distribution of moisture throughout each individual grain. 2, record 2, English, - conditioning

Do not confuse conditioning with tempering which is occasionally given as a synonym. Tempering deals only with the addition of moisture and does not include heating and drying functions as seen in conditioning. 3, record 2, English, - conditioning

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

In Ontario, wheat moves from farms to country agents appointed by the Ontario Wheat Board, of which there are about 180.... On delivery of wheat to agents, producers receive an initial payment guaranteed by the federal government from which a license fee of $1. 00 per tonne is deducted for administration costs.... The agents are reimbursed by the Board on receipt of producer settlement forms for the initial payment to producers plus handling charges. Agents also receive a conditioning fee from the Board if wheat delivered contains 14. 5% or more moisture. Maximum grade and moisture discounts are established by the Board each year. 1, record 4, English, - initial%20payment

A double tempering system is preferable for conditioning prior to milling. Unlike hard red spring wheats, the time required to bring sound, good quality durum to optimum milling condition is only five to six hours. Longer periods cause pigment changes resulting in loss of colour in the semolina and the pasta end product. It should be emphasized, however, that this tempering time may vary depending on the quality of durum wheat. A poor grade containing a high percentage of white grains absorbs moisture quickly and may require no more than three hours tempering time. Durum wheat is usually milled at a moisture content of approximately 16% to yield semolina at 14% moisture content. 1, record 6, English, - double%20tempering%20system

On préfère un système à double conditionnement avant la mouture du grain. A la différence des blés de force roux de printemps, le temps nécessaire pour conditionner parfaitement un blé dur sain et de bonne qualité n'est que de 5 à 6 heures. Une durée plus longue entraîne des modifications dans la pigmentation et une perte de couleur de la semoule et des pâtes alimentaires obtenues. Il convient de souligner, toutefois, que cette période de conditionnement peut varier selon la qualité du blé dur. Le blé dur de qualité inférieure contenant une forte proportion de grains blancs absorbe rapidement l'humidité et peut nécessiter une durée de conditionnement ne dépassant pas 3 heures. Le blé dur est généralement écrasé à environ 16% d'humidité pour produire une semoule à 14% d'humidité. 1, record 6, French, - syst%C3%A8me%20%C3%A0%20double%20conditionnement
