Chemical anf physical proprties of flour produced from Kerbala millers compared with standard proprties

Abstract

Flour produced from AlWala', Alhana', Alrawdha, Kerbala and Alali millers was used in this study with 85% extraction rate. This flour was taken from different wheat combination supplied from Kerbala silo. Percentages of moisture content, ash, wet and dry gluten and flour particle size were determind from Dec. 2006 till Feb. 2007.Results revealed that, (apart from moisture content of flour in Alwala', Alhana' and Alrawdha and ash content in Alwala' and Kerbala mills) each mill production was different in the above mentioned proprties according to the wheat cultivars and the mixed percentage.It was also appeared that, values of the studied characteristics of all samples were within the standard ranges inspite of the slight differences between one mill and the other.
