The Falling Number test is used to evaluate the amount of sprout damage in Canadian wheats. Alpha amylase is an enzyme found in wheat, if germination occurs there is a dramatic increase of this enzyme. The Falling Number is the time in seconds for a stirrer to fall through a hot slurry of ground wheat. The greater the amount of alpha-amylase in the wheat, the thinner the gelationized starch paste and the faster the plunger will fall through the slurry. A high Falling Number or the longer it takes the stirrer to fall indicates the wheat is sound and satisfactory for most baking processes. A 1CWRS normally has a Falling Number, greater than 350 seconds. 3, record 1, English, - Falling%20Number
