Le farinographe se pratique exclusivement sur farine. Il nécessite donc lui aussi la réalisation préalable d'une mouture. Cette technique permet de mesurer la consistance d'une pâte. Son principal intérêt est de pouvoir calculer la capacité d'absorption d'eau pour qu'une farine donne une pâte d'une consistance donnée (en l'occurrence, une consistance de 500 Unités Farinographiques). Cette capacité est couramment appelée le taux d'hydratation qui est exprimé en % en masse. 2, record 1, French, - taux%20d%27hydratation

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

In any discussion of the effect of damaged starch in breadmaking, it is essential to consider the role of flour amylases. There are at least three areas where damaged starch and amylases are particularly important : in the determination of baking absorption; in the production of fermentable carbohydrates for gas production in the dough, throughout fermentation, proofing and the early stage of baking; in the control of the level of dextrin production by enzymic degradation of starch during baking. 1, record 3, English, - fermentable%20carbohydrate

The traditional wheat bread of Jamaica, hardo, is a very compact heavy bread with an extremely fine and close grain. Hardo bread still remains very popular with consumers despite the availability of American-type breads. In fact, hardo bread accounts for 70% of the production of both large and small bakeries with many of the smaller bakeries producing only the hardo-type. 1, record 4, English, - Hardo%20bread

The final dough is developed through a dough brake and processed into 90-gram dough pieces which are baked in an open-topped pan. Final proof is very long : usually two and one-half hour. The combined effect of the low baking absorption and dough brake treatment just prior to makeup produce the compact, fine celled structure and characteristic crust of hardo bread. 1, record 4, English, - Hardo%20bread

La pâte finale est développée au cylindre laminoir et transformée en pâtons de 90 grammes qui sont cuits en moule découvert. L'apprêt est très long : il dure en général 2 1/2 heures. C'est l'effet combiné du faible degré d'absorption d'eau de la pâte et du traitement au cylindre laminoir juste avant le façonnage qui donne au pain hardo son alvéolage fin, sa compacité ainsi que la croûte qui lui est particulière. 1, record 4, French, - pain%20hardo

Unfortunately for the baker, the water absorption at mixing, as determined with the farinograph, does not necessarily relate to baking absorption which is normally judged by the handling properties of the dough at panning and not at the initial mixing stage. The reason is that during fermentation, dough softens and takes on a much lower consistency when remixed or subsequently worked. 1, record 5, English, - initial%20mixing%20stage

Malheureusement pour le boulanger, l'absorption de l'eau au pétrissage, telle qu'on l'établit au farinographe, n'est pas nécessairement en rapport avec l'hydratation de la farine, qui s'apprécie normalement par les qualités de travail de la pâte lors de la mise en forme et non au début du pétrissage. La raison en est que, pendant la fermentation, la pâte s'amollit et prend une consistance nettement moins ferme quand on fait un repétrissage ou qu'on la retravaille ultérieurement. 1, record 5, French, - d%C3%A9but%20du%20p%C3%A9trissage

Farinograph absorption is much lower than last year and lower than the long-term average. Lower starch damage this year is probably the major contributor to this decreased absorption. Farinograph and extensograph results indicate somewhat stronger dough properties relative to last year. Higher L and lower P alveograph values, indicating greater extensibility, may be related to lower flour absorption which can strongly influence alveogram shape. Canadian short process baking absorption is lower than last year, consistent with farinograph absorption results. Loaf volumes are comparable to 1999 values. During processing dough shows similar mixing requirements and the superior handling properties characteristic of last year's crop. 2, record 7, English, - farinograph%20absorption
