Wheat Technology – an introduction

Please contact our training team for further information.


Benefits of attending

To obtain flour of consistent quality, cereal processors and technologists must understand the fundamental differences in structure and composition of the wheat grain, and the techniques available to characterise those differences. An appreciation of the diversity of wheat, its application to cereal-based products and the analytical techniques used to define and characterise key indicators of milling performance, will provide knowledge to support practical experience gained in the workplace.


Course content

  • Wheat plant: origins, morphology and composition
  • Relating composition to end-use suitability
  • Quality assessment of wheat
  • The screenroom: preparation for milling
  • Quality indicators of milling performance

"This one-day course is designed for new entrants to the grain and milling industry. It is designed to relate the origin, structure and composition of wheat to a description of the technology used to identify key quality parameters which determine its end-use suitability."
