Abstract: Methods for producing a purified wheat embryo product are disclosed. In one embodiment, producing a purified wheat embryo product includes the steps of: accelerating a plurality of wheat berries toward an impact surface, impacting each of the plurality of wheat berries against the impact surface, dislodging at least some of the wheat embryos from the wheat berries in response to the impacting step such that the dislodged embryos are intact, and separating the dislodged wheat embryos from the bran and the endosperm to produce an intermediate purified wheat embryo product.

Abstract: Disclosed herein is a method of assessing rheology characteristics of vital wheat gluten to determine how to improve the quality of VWG product and the choice of VWG for a particular product.

Abstract: Processes and systems for commercial scale milling of wheat are disclosed. Processes include multiple tempering steps of controlled duration and cubing of the wheat kernel between two tempering steps. The cubing between the tempering breaks the kernels, or stresses the kernels, in a manner that enables a high degree of separation of the bran and endosperm early in the flour production process. An embodiment includes tempering for a first period between hour and 2 hours, cubing in a roll crusher with longitudinal corrugations on one roll and circumferential corrugations on a second roll, removing fines from the cubed kernels, and further tempering of the cubed kernels for a period between hour and 2 hours.

Abstract: Transport scheduling and transport processes for low microbial (“LM”) bulk products are described. The transport scheduling and processes facilitate low microbial activity in a LM bulk product during the transport of the LM bulk product.

Abstract: An elastomer rheology process can include: receiving material formation data associated with an elastomer; conveying the elastomer towards one or more rollers that compress and stretch the elastomer according to a predetermined rolling profile comprising roller gap and speed settings; sensing a first dimension of a first portion of the elastomer before the first portion of the elastomer is passed through the sheeter; sensing a second dimension of a second portion of the elastomer after the second portion of the elastomer is passed through the sheeter; and calculating an elastomer property of the elastomer based on the controlled roller gap width, a measured roller force, the first dimension, and the second dimension.

Abstract: A white whole grain wheat flour is milled from whole grain wheat kernels of white wheat. The white whole grain wheat flour has the appearance, texture, and consistency of refined wheat flour and the nutritional value of whole wheat flour. The white whole grain wheat flour can have a particle size distribution such that about 2% or more of the white whole grain wheat flour is larger than about 212 ?m.

Abstract: Processes and systems for commercial scale milling of wheat are disclosed. Processes include multiple tempering steps of controlled duration and cubing of the wheat kernel between two tempering steps. The cubing between the tempering breaks the kernels, or stresses the kernels, in a manner that enables a high degree of separation of the bran and endosperm early in the flour production process. An embodiment includes tempering for a first period between ½ hour and 2 hours, cubing in a roll crusher with longitudinal corrugations on one roll and circumferential corrugations on a second roll, removing fines from the cubed kernels, and further tempering of the cubed kernels for a period between ½ hour and 2 hours.

Abstract: A process for milling grain includes milling whole grain wheat kernels into whole grain wheat flour having a particle size distribution where at least about 98% of the whole grain wheat flour is less than or equal to about 212 ?m. The whole grain wheat flour includes substantially the same proportions of natural constituents, other than moisture, as compared to a representative sample of the whole grain wheat kernels.
