  • Patent number: 7425344
    Abstract: A process for producing an ultrafine-milled whole-grain wheat flour which has the full nutritional value of wheat kernels, while retaining the texture of refined wheat flour and an appearance similar to refined wheat flour, and the products which can be made from the ultrafine-milled whole-grain wheat flour. The process can also be used for producing an ultrafine-milled coarse fraction, which can be used as a replacement and to fortify refined wheat flour. The ultrafine-milled coarse fraction can be used in bakery products, snack products and food products.
