Cereals and cereal products - Common wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) - Determination of alveograph properties of dough at adapted hydration from commercial or test flours and test milling methodology

This document specifies a method that uses an alveograph to determine the rheological properties of different types of dough at adapted hydration obtained from “soft” to “hard” wheat flour (Triticum aestivum L.) produced by industrial milling or laboratory test milling.
It describes the alveograph test and how to use a laboratory mill to produce flour in two stages:
    Stage 1: preparation of the wheat grain for milling to make it easier to separate the bran from the endosperm (see Clause 7);
    Stage 2: the milling process itself, including the break system involving three fluted rollers, reduction of particle size between two smooth rollers and the use of a centrifugal sieving machine to grade the products (see Clause 8).

Céréales et produits céréaliers - Blé tendre (Triticum aestivum L.) - Détermination des propriétés alvéographiques d’une pâte à hydratation constante adaptée de farine industrielle ou d’essai et méthodologie pour la mouture d’essai

Le présent document prescrit une méthode de détermination, au moyen de l'alvéographe, des
caractéristiques rhéologiques de différents types de pâtes à hydratation adaptée obtenues à partir de farines
de blés tendres (Triticum aestivum L.) « soft » à « hard » issues de mouture industrielle ou de mouture d’essai
en laboratoire.
Il décrit l’essai à l’alvéographe et les conditions d’obtention de la farine au moyen d’un moulin de laboratoire
en deux étapes :
⎯ étape 1 : préparation des grains de blé en vue de la mouture, afin de faciliter la séparation du son et de
l’amande (voir Article 7) ;
⎯ étape 2 : processus de mouture comprenant un broyage entre trois cylindres cannelés, une réduction de
la taille des particules entre deux cylindres lisses et le classement des produits à l’aide d’une bluterie
centrifuge (voir l’Article 8).

Introduction
The end-use value of wheat is determined by a number of properties that are useful in the manufacture of baked
products such as bread, rusks, biscuits, etc.
Such properties include the important viscoelastic (rheological) properties of dough formed as a result of flour
hydration and kneading. An alveograph is used to study the main parameters by subjecting a dough test piece to
biaxial extension (producing a dough bubble) at adapted hydration by inflating it with air, which is similar to the
deformation to which it is subjected during panary fermentation.
Recording the pressure generated inside the bubble throughout the deformation of the dough test piece until
rupture provides information on:
