Semolina
Semolina is the coarse, granular endosperm fraction produced during milling, most commonly from durum wheat. It is the traditional raw material for…
-
Bran
Bran is the outer layer of the cereal grain removed during milling to produce refined flour. It is rich in fibre, minerals…
-
Wheat Germ
Wheat germ is the nutrient-dense embryo of the grain, separated during milling. It is rich in protein, lipids, vitamins and minerals, but…

Flour Sifting
Flour sifting, or bolting, passes milled flour through fine sieves to remove coarse particles and achieve the required particle size and purity.…
-
Grain Drying
Grain drying reduces the moisture content of freshly harvested grain to a safe storage level, typically below 14–15 percent for cereals. Controlled…
-
Flour Maturation
Flour maturation is the resting period after milling during which flour properties stabilise and improve for baking. Controlled storage allows natural oxidation…
-
Grain Conditioning
Grain conditioning, or tempering, adds water to wheat and rests it before milling so the bran toughens and the endosperm softens. This…
-
Flour Protein
Flour protein is the total protein content of flour, measured by Kjeldahl or Dumas and reported as a percentage on dry matter.…

Milling
Milling is the process of grinding cereal grains into flour, semolina or other fractions. Modern milling is a gradual reduction process that…

Grain Storage
Grain storage keeps cleaned, dried grain in silos or bins under controlled temperature and aeration to preserve quality until milling. Monitoring moisture,…
