The document summarizes the key steps in wheat milling: storage and blending of wheat, cleaning, conditioning by adjusting moisture levels, milling through processes like breaking, sieving, grading, purification, sizing, and reduction using roller mills. The objective is to separate the bran and germ from the endosperm to produce flour while minimizing contamination. Conditioning prepares the wheat for grinding by making the bran elastic and endosperm soft. Milling gradually separates the parts using rollers and sieves to produce flour and byproducts like bran and germ.

WHEAT
Wheat is often considered primarily as a source of energy (carbohydrate) and it is certainly important in this respect. However, it also contains significant amounts of other important nutrients including proteins, fiber, and minor components including lipids, vitamins, minerals, and phytochemicals which may contribute to a healthy diet.
Triticum aestivum and Triticum durum consist of seven chromosome pairs (2n =14). Wheat has been cultivated in the form of spring or winter crops. In extremely cold areas, spring varieties of wheat have been propagated during spring so that they can grow and ripen rapidly and can be harvested before the arrival of the autumn snowfall. Within more temperate areas, winter wheat is propagated prior to the onset of the winter snowfall that otherwise covers the saplings, resulting in vernalization and allowing quick growth when the snow thaws in the spring. In warm environments, peculiarity in spring and winter wheat is almost futile. The point of significant difference is early or delayed maturity. Types of wheat have been frequently differentiated according to endosperm texture, seed coat, dough strength, color, and planting season. These are concisely explained as follows
Principal cultivars of soft and hard wheat cultivated in the world .
Hard wheat varieties
Durum Extremely hard, radiant, pale tinted grain used to form semolina flour in order to make pasta & bulghur, rich in gluten protein, high absorption of water
Hard red winter Hard, brown in color, protein-rich, used for hard-baked products and bread as well as pastry flours to elevate protein intended for pie crusts
Hard red spring Hard, brown in color, protein-rich, used for bread and hard-baked products. Usually used in bread and gluten-rich flours
Hard white Hard, opaque, light in color, pale, medium protein content, planted in arid and temperate regions. Used for bread/brewing
Soft wheat varieties
Soft red winter Soft, low protein content, low water absorption, used for muffins, pie crusts, biscuits, and cakes.
Soft white Soft, bran is deficient in pigment, low protein content, low water absorption, grown in moderately humid regions. Used for noodles, crackers, and wafers.

Milling
White and whole-wheat flour are key ingredients in baked goods, such as bread. Other wheat-based foods include pasta, noodles, semolina, bulgur, and couscous. Wheat is highly controversial because it contains a protein called gluten, which can trigger a harmful immune response in predisposed individuals. However, for people who tolerate it, whole-grain wheat can be a rich source of various antioxidants, vitamins, minerals, and fiber. Milling is the process by which cereal grains are ground into flour. The milling of Wheat consists in the separation of bran and germ from the endosperm and reduction of endosperm to fine flour.
The traditional procedure for milling wheat in India has been stone grinding to obtain whole wheat flour.

Harvesting
For paddy, harvesting refers to the cutting and gathering of panicles attached to the stalks.
Harvesting at the right time and in the right way maximizes grain yield and minimizes grain losses and quality deterioration.
Once the plants have reached full growth (approximately three months after planting) and the grains begin to ripen-the tops begin to droop and the stem yellows-the water is drained from the fields.
As the fields dry, the grains ripen further and harvesting is commenced.
Stage of harvest :
Many factors must be considered to obtain optimum rice harvest.
The grain must be mature, high in quality and have proper moisture content.
Field should be sufficiently dry to support harvesting and transport.
Timely harvesting ensures good grain quality, high market value and improved consumer acceptance.
The right stage for harvesting is when about 80% panicles have 80 % ripened spike lets and their upper portion is straw colored. The grain contains about 20% of moisture.
Rice should be harvested when the grains on lower part of the panicle are in hard dough stage.
Maturity may be hastened by 3-4 days by spraying 20 % NaCl a week before harvest to escape monsoon rains
Harvesting methods :
Depending on the size of the operation and the amount of mechanization, rice is either harvested by hand or machine. The different harvesting systems are as follows:
Manual harvesting
Manual harvesting makes use of traditional threshing tools such as threshing racks, simple treadle threshers and animals for trampling or by hand using sharp knives or sickles. Gives 55-60 % grain recovery.
Manual harvesting and machine threshing
Rice is manually threshed, then cleaned with a machine thresher.
Machine reaping and machine threshing
A reaper cuts and lays the crop in a line. Threshing and cleaning can then be performed manually or by machine.
Combine harvesting
The combine harvester combines all operations from paddy harvesting to rice extraction - cutting, handling, threshing and cleaning. Gives 50 % recovery.
Average yield :
A well-managed crop of mid-late duration varieties yield about 60-70 quintals/ ha.
Short duration varieties yield about 45-55 quintals.
About 40-60 quintals/ ha of fodder also becomes available per season.

Threshing
Threshing is the process of beating paddy plants in order to separate the seeds or grains from the straw.
To maintain the high quality of the harvested grains, it should be threshed immediately after harvesting.
Avoid field drying and stacking for several days as it affects grain quality due to over drying. Stacked grains of high moisture content results in discoloration or yellowing.
Threshing can be done manually or mechanically

We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.

3. Storage
o It is important to preserve the quality and economic value of wheat
as it moves from the field into storage at the processing mill.
o If not properly stored, insects, moisture damage, or other
conditions may cause losses.
o Moisture and temperature are two main factors that influence
the development of grain molds and insects in stored wheat
o Wheat should be carefully dried to a moisture below 12.5%, a
level regarded as safe for storage.
4. Blending
o Usually a mill is designed for milling wheat of a certain class and physical
characteristics.
o However, a mill designed for one class of wheat (e.g., hard or soft) does
not ensure uniformity of end-product quality.
o Wheat arriving at the mill usually varies in quality and requires blending to
deliver a "wheat mix" of uniform qualities
o Wheat blending is the initial step in providing bakers with uniform flour.
o Accordingly, mills prepare "wheat mixes" of certain protein levels or other
quality characteristics.
o There are different methods of blending. Some millers blend wheat directly
in storage bins, others during grinding.
5. Cleaning
o Intensive cleaning of the wheat before milling ensures that bacteria, mold,
undesired seeds, infested kernels, shrunken and broken kernels, and other
foreign materials do not contaminate the mill products or damage the
equipment.
o Aspirator: The aspirator sucks up foreign matter which is lighter than the
wheat and removes it.
o Disc separator : it moves the wheat over a series of disks with
indentations that collect objects the size of a grain of wheat.
o Scourer : Scrape off dirt and hair by vigorous rubbing action of beaters
and polish the outer surface
o Magnetic separator : With the help of magnets it removes small pieces of
metals.
o Washer stoner : High speed rotors spin the wheat in the water bath.
excess water is thrown out by centrifugal force. stones drop to the bottom
and are removed. Lighter material float off leaving only the clean wheat
6. Conditioning
o Increasing the MC From 12.55 to 16-20 %
o Conditioning, a process that adjusts the moisture level of wheat
before milling, achieves a mellow endosperm and tough bran.
o Bran that absorbs proper amounts of moisture becomes elastic
and will not splinter during grinding to contaminate the flour
with fine particles.
o Mellow endosperm breaks off the bran during grinding, and
less power is required to reduce large pure particles to flour.
7. Cont…
o Another objective of wheat conditioning is to equalize the hardness of
the different kernels in the wheat mix before processing.
o Different methods could be used to condition the wheat before milling.
Heating wheat in water/ Hot conditioning (Difficult to control the
moisture) Warm conditioning involves soaking the wheat in
water at a temperature (46°C) for 60-90 minutes and letting it
rest for one day
Cold Conditioning (The soaking time ranges from 12 to 16 hours
until grains are permeated with moisture.)
Application of live steam of H2O
Intensive mixing of wheat and water
The current method most frequently used is termed
“TEMPERING.”
In tempering, a calculated amount of water is added to the
wheat, which is then intensively mixed in a continuous mixer
in order to maximize a uniform dispersion of the water on all
wheat kernels.
8. Milling
o Wheat flour milling is a process that consists of controlled
breaking, reduction, and separation.
o The objective during milling is to separate the branny cover and
germ of the wheat kernel from the endosperm.
o Breaking : Rollers crush the seeds into smaller fractions
o Wet milling - It is a maceration process in which complete
dissociation of the endosperm cell contents with the release of the
starch granules from the protein network. it is done by steeping
wheat for 10 days.
o Dry milling - It is a fractionating process in this endosperm merely
fragmented into cells. it is done by soaking wheat in water for 8-12
hrs.
9. Cont..
o The flour-milling process consists of numerous stages and
sub-processes:
Breaking
Sieving
Grading/Re-dusting
Purification
Sizing
Reduction
o Materials at different stages of the milling process differ in
quality or in the ratio of bran to endosperm and particle size.
10. Breaking
o The initial grinding stages in the milling process are named “breaks”
o Breaking of the wheat kernel is affected by corrugated cast steel rolls that gradually
separate the endosperm, bran, and germ.
o The breaks are used in the grinding steps of the milling process to separate the bran,
germ, and endosperm from each other.
Stage 1: The grist is passed through a series of fluted 'break' rolls rotating at different
speeds, they do not crush the wheat but split it open, separating the white endosperm
Stage 2: The fragments of wheat grain are separated by a complex arrangement
of sieves. stages 1 and 2 are repeated until the flour, bran and wheat germ are
completely separated.
o White endosperm particles or chunks of endosperm are channeled to a series of
smooth 'REDUCTION' ROLLS for final milling into white flour.
'REDUCTION' ROLLS
Reduction of particle size of semolina into fine flour by passing it through a pair
of smooth rolls.
11. The rolls are paired & rotate inward against each
other, moving at different speeds Just one pass
through the corrugated "first break" rolls begins the
separation of bran, endosperm and germ
In a typical mill, there may be up to 4 break rolls
and 12 reduction rolls, leading to 16 flour streams, a
bran stream, a germ stream and a bran/flour/germ
wheat feed stream
Milling of Kernel (Breaking in operation)
12. Sieving
o Particles of the grounded material are separated
according to size.
o Available in two, four, six, and eight sections.
o The sieves in a sifter section are divided into groups.
o At the top of the section, there are usually coarser sieves
separating the larger material that flows out of the sifter
through a side channel.
o 6 different sizes of particles may come from a single
sifter, including some flour with each sifting. Larger
particles are shaken off from the top, or "scalped,"
leaving the finer flour to sift to the bottom.
13. o Graders are sifter sections used to handle mainly materials
directed from the breaks.
o A blend of medium-sized and fine sizing's as well as middling's
is directed to the graders.
o Materials from primary breaks are directed to the first grader.
o Materials from secondary breaks (e.g., the third or fourth) are
directed to second or third graders.
o The main objective of the grader is to remove the remaining
flour from the middling's and to separate the granular
material to narrow particle size ranges for better efficiency
in the purifiers.
Grading
14. Purification
o Coarse endosperm chunks (SEMOLINA) and finer endosperm particles
(MIDDLINGS) are separated in the purifier and sent to the reduction
rolls.
o Purifier's main purpose is to separate particles into fractions of
pure endosperm and achieved by using sieves and air currents.
o Any remaining fine bran particles may be removed by the purifier using
a combination or sieves and air currents.
o Purifiers classify the material into several fractions according to size,
shape, and specific gravity.
o Endosperm particles, free from bran and germ are guided to smooth
rolls, where they are ground into flour.
o Particles to which bran and outer layers of kernel are still attached are
delivered to different pairs of rolls ("sizings") for careful reduction and
separation of the bran.
15. Sizing
o The material at each of the sizing stages is a mixture of
particles close in size range, some pure endosperm, and others
still with attached bran.
o The objective of the sizing stages is to reduce the particle
size and during reduction, to separate the still attached
bran from the endosperm.
o Material from the sizing stages can be diverted to purifiers, for
final reduction, or to flour as a final product.
16. Reduction
o Coarse and fine pure endosperm particles from breaks,
purifiers, sizings, and reductions in the mill are reduced to flour
on smooth rolls.
o The number of reduction stages depends on the flour yield
required.
