Abstract
Direct measurement of wheat endosperm content, the product of flour milling, is now a reality. The cumulative endosperm mass balance calculated from a series of unit processes provides an overall assessment of separation efficiency, which varies with adjustments made to the operational settings of the individual processing steps. A summation of endosperm concentration multiplied by the flow rates of the individual unit processes is used to calculate the endosperm mass balance. Chemical imaging and endosperm yield are included for 15 product output streams from the Hal Ross flour mill (Kansas State University [KSU]). Results, including cumulative endosperm yield obtained using the new quantitative near infrared (NIR) imaging system are stated in the context of cumulative ash and ferulic acid curves that have been reported previously for two experimental wheats. Cumulative millers' curves from previous large-scale (22 bu) millings on a 23 stream KSU pilot mill were applied for the same two experimental whea...
