Milling Procedure for the Manufacture of Alimentary Paste and Pasta Products from Whole Grains

摘要

A process is presented for minimizing oxidative degradation of whole wheat flour in the production of whole wheat pasta. A sweet nutty flavor is preserved and off-flavors are avoided by whole milling without removing the germ, not fine grinding the wheat, and immediately mixing the freshly-ground whole wheat flour with water to produce a dough or alimentary paste. This minimizes the exposure of oils and other components to enzymatic and other degradative processes.
