This article from Cosmos Magazine provides an overview of the history and significance of wheat production in Australia. It discusses the challenges faced by farmers in the late 1930s and highlights the work of Yvonne Aitken, an agricultural scientist, who proposed solutions to improve soil fertility. The article also explores advancements in wheat genetics and breeding, including the development of rust-resistant varieties and the impact of the Green Revolution. It acknowledges the ongoing challenges posed by climate change and declining water availability, and mentions ongoing research on genetically modified wheat to improve yield and resilience. The article emphasizes the importance of soil health and sustainable crop growth. [Extracted from the article]

The article presents the discussion on evolution of agriculture in Sully County, South Dakota. Topics include highlighting the historical dominance of wheat production and its recent decline due to crop rotation and shifting agricultural practices towards row crops like corn and soybeans; and influenced by climate cycles, seed genetics, and market dynamics, have reshapedrow farming traditions and economic strategies in the region.

The article delves into the historical stigma and recent scientific reevaluation of carbohydrates. It discusses ancient philosophies, the rise of low-carb diets like Paleo and Banting-Harvey, and modern variations like Atkins and ketogenic diets. Topics include the historical demonization of carbs, the evolution of carbohydrate research, and a nuanced view of carbohydrates' role in a healthy diet.

Wheat tempering guidelines for laboratory-scale experimental milling typically specify a target tempering moisture content and tempering time with a defined protocol for administering and homogenizing the added tempering water. The targets differ depending on wheat kernel hardness: soft wheats are tempered to lower moisture targets for shorter periods of time compared to hard wheats. However, few laboratories strictly follow current tempering guidelines and questions have arisen as to whether there is an impact on resulting flour quality, especially when the flour will be used in experimental baking trials. This first study in a two-part series investigated the effect of final tempering moisture content on milling behavlor and flour quality for soft wheat, hard wheat, and their blends (75:25, 50:50, and 25:75 hard:soft wheat blends). Wheat was milled as-is (i.e. dry milled) or tempered to 15%, 16%, or 17% moisture content (MC) on a LabMill experimental mill. Tempered samples were all rested for 24 h prior to milling. Flour extraction decreased significantly with increasing tempering moisture content for hard and soft wheats and their blends. Tempering resulted in a lower resistance and apparent hardness indices for all samples, leading to production of more fine particles at the expense of large particles. Dry milled wheat had significantly higher ash content and damaged starch compared to tempered samples. Flour quality was suboptimal as a result, with flour from dry milled wheat showing lower Alveograph P, L, W and le values compared to flour from tempered samples. Overall, milling performance is significantly altered and flour quality improved by tempering with trends remaining consistent across soft and hard wheats. The results do not support targeting dif ferent final tempering moisture contents on the basis of kernel texture. Few differences were observed in the tempering range of 15-17% MC, thus a tempering target of 16% MC is recommended to partially mitigate flour extraction losses. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In the bakery branch, several types of wheat flour (white, bread, wholegrain) and rye flour (bread and wholegrain) could be considered as basic raw materials. Owing to the different chemical composition, dough is built on the basis of gluten proteins in the first and on a complex of non-starch arabinoxylans and rye protein secalins in the latter. At a stage of dough manufacturing, water absorption has a direct impact on dough consistency and its behaviour during kneading. The volume of water added depends on the reciprocal proportion of proteins and nonstarch polysaccharides dietary fibre, which competes with just developing gluten. Replacing stepwise 10 wt.% of commercial wheat white flour by rye bread flour or by the rye wholegrain counterpart (WW, RB and RW, respectively), two sets of nine bicomponent blends together with those three controls were tested by use of the standard Farinograph proof. For water absorption within both the WW-RB and WW-RW subsets, a concave course of the determined values was observed. The WW control demonstrated value 57.5%, blends 30:70RB and 40:60RW the maximum (67.3% and 66.0%), and the RB control level 61.7%. For both dough development time and consistency stability, optima were recorded for the 50:50 mixture. Within the second subset, revealed trends were similar. By cluster analysis of flour and blends, a statistical similarity greater than 85% was verified between their chemical composition and technological quality. Farinograph water absorption was dependent on protein and dietary fibre content, while stability of dough consistency on protein content only. Blends with rye bread flour up to 40% are commonly used in breadmaking; clustering confirmed their statistical closeness to the quality of basic white wheat flour, based on a dominance of gluten proteins in the rheological properties.
