Milling Wheat Specifications and Quality

Milling wheat grading factors include Moisture, Test weight, and Broken kernels.

Grading Factors

Quality assessment for milling wheat considers Moisture, Test weight, and Broken kernels.

  • Moisture

    Measures water content; high moisture promotes mold and reduces storage stability.

  • Test weight

    Weight per hectolitre; indicates density and overall grain quality.

  • Broken kernels

    Percentage of kernels broken during handling; affects milling yield.

  • Foreign matter

    Presence of extraneous material, insects, or ergot; impacts food safety.

  • Protein

    Protein content influences flour strength and end‑use suitability.

  • Falling number

    Alpha‑amylase activity; low values indicate sprouting damage.

Uses & Risks

Milling wheat uses, related products and documented risks.

Sourcing risks

RiskMitigation
Mycotoxin contamination
Food safetyHigh

Mycotoxins such as ochratoxin A can develop if wheat is stored with moisture above 13 % and warm temperatures.

Maintain moisture below 13 % and store at cool, dry conditions.
High rainfall during harvest
ClimateMedium

Excess moisture from rain can raise grain moisture, increasing spoilage risk.

Prompt drying and proper storage after harvest.
Insect infestation
PestMedium

Living insects or their damage can render wheat unfit for milling.

Use sealed transport, regular pest control, and inspection at intake.
