Cereal grains oCeres oWhat are cereals? • Grass family (Gramineae) • One seeded fruits ◦ Caryopsis = kernel = grain ◦ Germ ◦ Endosperm ◦ Bran: seed coat and fruit coat ◦ Developes in glume (chaff, husk)

• Easy to grow, high yield, stable, storage 24/05/2016

Nutritional importance of cereals •Macronutrients: ◦ Carbohydrates (50-80%) ◦ Staple food ◦ Digestable: starch ◦ Undigestable: dietary fiber ◦ Proteins (8-15%) ◦ Lipids (1.5-7%)

•Micronutrients: ◦ Vitamins ◦ Minerals (1-2.5%) Dewettinck, K., Van Bockstaele F., Kühne, B., Van de Walle, D., Courtens, T. and Gellynck, X. (2008). Nutritional value of bread: influence of processing, food interaction and consumer perception. Jounal of Cereal Science, 48, 243-257. 24/05/2016

From cereal to flour oMilling: •Separation of bran/germ from endosperm •Size reduction of endosperm -> flour

oProcessing steps involved •Reception and pre-cleaning •Cleaning •Conditioning •Milling •Sieving •Blending

Storage o Storage • possible: low moisture content • BUT living substance which can decay

o Control • • • •

temperature grain condition oxygen supply moisture content grain ◦ safe value ~ cereal (13-15%) ◦ drying if necessary • pest and mould control

24/05/2016

MILLING TECHNOLOGY FOR CEREALS

24

Blending and cleaning oBlending • wheat mix of uniform quality • directly in storage bin • just before milling process (other tempering conditions)

oCleaning • remove impurities ◦ undesired seeds, infested kernels, shrunken and broken kernels, other foreign material

• prevent contamination of mill products + damage of equipment • separation based on differences in size, shape, specific gravity, behaviour in air currents, magnetic properties

26

Conditioning oConditioning = adjustment of moisture content

•not too dry ◦ bran should become elastic to avoid splintering and contamination of flour ◦ better separation of endosperm-bran ◦ less power required to grind to flour

•not too wet ◦ Endosperm too soft, no creation of sharp particles ◦ No efficient sieving

24/05/2016

MILLING TECHNOLOGY FOR CEREALS

27

Conditioning oTempering •controlled addition of water (and heat) •intensive mixing to ensure uniform distribution •resting for a period of time (3-36 h) ◦ optimal distribution in different parts of kernel ◦ reduce hydration differences •25°C, 15-20% moisture content ◦ Soft wheat: 15 – 16.5% ◦ Hard wheat: 17 - 18% 24/05/2016

Milling: goals o remove bran and germ o flour with specific particle size distribution o extract as much white flour as possible 24/05/2016

MILLING TECHNOLOGY FOR CEREALS

29

Milling o Milling process • multi-stage process • size reduction, separation (sieving) and purification operations • different materials at different stages BUT no fraction completely pure

o Milling efficiency •flour extraction degree •pureness of the fractions 24/05/2016

Milling process Sieving in between steps

oSuccession of 3 systems:

• breaking ◦ breaks up grain in large pieces ◦ removing endosperm from bran ◦ as little flour and bran powder as possible • coarse reduction (scratching or sizing) ◦ removing small pieces of bran and embryo from endosperm ◦ smaller particles endosperm • fine reduction ◦ grinding endosperm into flour ◦ minimum in crushed germ and bran powder ◦ optimum in damaged starch granules

Roller milling

24/05/2016

MILLING TECHNOLOGY FOR CEREALS

32

Roller milling: break system o 4-5 breaks, corrugated rolls • first break opens kernel • subsequent breaks: scraping endosperm from the bran • gradually smaller but more corrugations • differential from 2.5 to 1

24/05/2016

MILLING TECHNOLOGY FOR CEREALS

33

Roller milling: reduction system oGradual decrease of particle size into flour o Roller mill with smooth rolls, • differential 1.25 to 1 • high shear pressure, lower shear forces

oCoarse reduction: 3-5 stages • removing small pieces of bran and embryo from endosperm • smaller particles endosperm • no severe grinding: no bran in flour

oFine reduction: 6-10 stages • grinding endosperm into flour • minimum in crushed germ and bran powder • optimum in damaged starch granules o Material to purifiers, final reduction, flour 24/05/2016

Sieving: plansifter oSieving stage follows each set of rolls • different mill fractions • directed to: ◦ Next break rolls ◦ Reduction rolls ◦ Purifier ◦ Finished product

24/05/2016

MILLING TECHNOLOGY FOR CEREALS

37

Sieving oPurifiers • separation of pure endosperm and endosperm with different amounts of bran • vibrating motion of sieves: heavier endosperm close to sieve, brannier material on top • air currents fluidise and stratify according to size, specific gravity and shape
