MILLING QUALITY OF HULLED WHEAT BULGUR WITH STONE MILL

摘要

In recent years, hulled wheat species have increased in importancenbecause of their advantageous features as underutilized crops which havenprovided additional income to farmers and also contributed to agriculturalndiversification. Einkorn and emmer as two hulled wheat species have beennused in this study. The milling quality of these hulled wheats was determinednon fixed top stone and fixed bottom stone (FBS) mills at 1.75- and 2.5-mmnstone gap levels. The effects of parameters such as stone mill type, stone gapnand milling quality of hulled wheat species have been studied. The obtainednproducts have been classified as coarse (over 2 mm), medium (under 2 mm–nover 1 mm), fine (under 1 mm) and husky. It reveals that FBS mill has groundnin little particles and more unsteadily. This study also indicates that thengrinding of emmer has brought along smaller particles due to its spindlynstructure and 1.75-mm stone gap has been thought more acceptable because ofnthe less husky product.
