Record 2 2015-03-03

English

Subject field(s)
  • Food Industries
  • Milling and Cereal Industries
CONT

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.

OBS

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.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Industrie de l'alimentation
  • Minoterie et céréales
CONT

Le conditionnement prépare la dureté du grain pour la mouture, par une humidification appropriée : mouillage, lavage, quelquefois séchage, toujours suivis d’un repos en cellules. [...] cette opération donne au grain la texture physique la plus favorable pour la trituration.

Vitreousness is defined as the glossy or shiny appearance that indicates hardness. Generally, the more vitreous a kernel, the higher its protein content. Non-vitreous kernels are those that are broken, damaged, or exhibit evidence of starchiness.

OBS

French

Domaine(s)
  • Culture des céréales

CONT

La vitrosité désigne l'aspect luisant ou brillant qui indique la dureté du grain. En général, plus un grain est vitreux, plus il est riche en protéines. Les grains non vitreux comprennent les grains brisés, endommagés ou ceux qui ont une forte teneur en amidon.

OBS

La détermination de la vitrosité : on calcule la proportion de grains glacés, demi-glacés et farineux

English

Subject field(s)
  • Milling and Cereal Industries
CONT

The clean tempered wheat is conveyed in a continuous stream to the first pair of break rolls and the process of separating the floury endosperm from the outer layers of bran begins. The aim in milling is to break open the grain, scrape off as much endosperm from the bran skins as possible and gradually grind (reduce) the practically pure endosperm into flour.

OBS

of cereals and other grains

French

Domaine(s)
  • Minoterie et céréales
CONT

Le but à atteindre par la mouture est l'obtention, sous forme de farine, du maximum de l'amande farineuse présente dans le grain. [...] La mouture est rendue possible, après préparation du blé, par la différence de dureté entre l'amande plus friable, qui se réduit en fines particules et les enveloppes, plus souples, plus plastiques, qui restent en plaques sous forme de sons.

OBS

Dans le cas du riz, on parle plutôt d’usinage.
