Effect of Damaged Kernel on the End-us Quality of Durum Wheat

摘要

A rcview of research on main categories damaged kernel influencing the durum wheat end-use quality (safety and processing quality) is made. The effects of sprouted and mildewed kernels, ker-nels attacked by pests, Fusarium and ergot infected kernels,smudge and black-point, heat damaged kernels, immaturity and frost damage, starchy kernels on wheat safety, milling performance (semolina yield and purity) gluten strength, pasta color and cooked pasta quality is discussed. All these groups damaged kernels are grading factors in durum wheat grade standards, aiming to determine and preserve the safety and commercial value of wheat lots on the basis of piocessing potential.
