Studies on milling of flours of high extraction rates from Aestivum wheats.

The yields offlour from Indian wheats were high (71.9-76.0 per cent) and comparable
to that ofUS wheat (73.5 per cent). in contrast the flour yield from German wheat was
Significantly low (65.0 per cent). A maximum recovery of 80-83 per cent flour could
be achievedby combining the straight run flour and the flour obtained from shorts and
bran through a bran finisher, However, for obtaining flour of 85 per cent extraction rate;
it was necessary to add the required quantity of fines recovered by passing shorts/shorts
and bran through a grinder and bran finisher.
