Specific weight and wheat quality

Specific weight and wheat quality UK winter and spring wheats were studied to establish correlations between specific weight and flour yield. In general, correlations were poor and could not be used for predicting flour yield from specific weight. Specific weight/flour yield relationships are influenced by year, growing site, variety and endosperm texture. The moisture content and moisture history of wheat influences its specific weight, and no universal factor can be applied to correct specific weight results to a fixed moisture basis. Individual wheats exhibit their own correction factors and these are different for wheats that have been dried or damped. 1000 kernel weight was not found to be a suitable alternative to specific weight for flour yield prediction. http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture Wiley

Abstract

UK winter and spring wheats were studied to establish correlations between specific weight and flour yield. In general, correlations were poor and could not be used for predicting flour yield from specific weight. Specific weight/flour yield relationships are influenced by year, growing site, variety and endosperm texture. The moisture content and moisture history of wheat influences its specific weight, and no universal factor can be applied to correct specific weight results to a fixed moisture basis. Individual wheats exhibit their own correction factors and these are different for wheats that have been dried or damped. 1000 kernel weight was not found to be a suitable alternative to specific weight for flour yield prediction.
