ate several wheat blends to meet their specic quality requirements within given constraints. There- fore, the best solutions are usually

unique, with wheat-blending decisions being inuencedby the following factors: Quality Price Availability Policy Optimization of raw material purchasing and usage

is achieved through () accurate wheat evaluation, () cost minimization of wheat mixes and our blends using linearprogramming, () projection

of future wheat requirements. Formulation of grist or wheat mix may be anywhere from being very simple in some cases,

to being very complex in others, that require computer application software to perform wheat blend cost minimization using linear programming. The procedure essen-tially involves evaluation of the quality of all the wheats relative to price and then makingthe selection that would meet the target quality at least cost. This exercise would obviouslytake availability and policythe two other important factorsinto account. Grain-Milling Operations 2 Fig. 6 Pearson square. The following criteria are important when considering our quality for wide range of applications: Protein content Protein quality Starch quality and condition Presence of enzymes Most of these criteria can, to some extent, be inuenced by the milling process. However, the judicious selection of wheat will have direct bearing on the overall our qualityrelative to these quality criteria. Some of these criteria have been explained in more detail in the latter part of this chapter under Functional Properties (see Sec. 3.3.. The following example will best illustrate simple wheat grist formulation: bakers patent our is to be milled to supply large mechanized bakery in Canada that requires: Protein: 1.5% Ash: 0.5%Flour with strong protein quality Farinograph water absorption: 6.0% minimum Millers in Canada are aware that for our with strong protein quality and higher level of water absorption, as indicated in the foregoing, the only class of wheat they ne
