Farinographe Brabender. Il s’agit probablement de l'instrument le plus utilisé dans le monde pour évaluer la farine. Il permet l'essai d’une pâte formée de farine et d’eau en vue d’indiquer les caractéristiques de pétrissage possible de farine. Les quatre paramètres généralement enregistrés sont l'absorption d’eau, le temps de développement, le temps de stabilité et l'indice de tolérance au pétrissage. Le temps de stabilité est établi en soustrayant l'heure d’arrivée à l'heure de départ. L'instrument comprend un bol de mélange spécialement conçu qui est relié à un dynamomètre. 2, record 5, French, - caract%C3%A9ristiques%20de%20p%C3%A9trissage
