laboratory milling compar- isons. Grain-Milling Operations 3 the ash content of the our, as pure endosperm has much lower ash

content than bran. Similarly, whiter our free of branny material will be much brighter in color comparedwith the bran-contaminated our which will be darker. It is customary for millers to express our extraction rates at given ash content or color value. Flour extraction rate expressed without an ash or color value does not help in the assessment of its potential our extraction at an acceptable quality level. As is indicated in the owsheet, our streams are drawn from each sifter section. Because these our streams differ from each other in terms of bran contamination, theyare visually somewhat different from one another. Thus, these our streams would differin ash content and color values. They would also differ in protein content and many func-tional properties such as protein quality and enzymatic activity. This is because in kernel of wheat the protein content increases from the center of the kernel toward the bran. Therefore, our streams from the central part (rst reduction) of the wheat kernel arelower in protein content relative to the our streams that come from closer to the bran (fourth break). Also, our streams coming from the bran and germ end are higher in - amylase activity. Another important tool for measuring milling performance is plotting cumulative ash curve. If the curve initially remains at, indicating no or little increase in ash as the percentage of our increases, and toward the higher end the our ash begins to ascend then this will be considered
