MILLING OPERATION
The milling operation involves the following processes:
• Wheat cleaning
• Tempering
• Milling
• Enrichment/fortification
Cleaning of Wheat Grains
The wheat grain is transferred from the storage silos to a tempering
bin, where the cleaning process is carried out. The cleaning process
includes:
• Sieving
• Scouring
• Aspiration
• Magnetic separation
TEMPERING
This is the addition of a regulated amount of moisture to the wheat
grains. It is done to enable easy shelling of the wheat.
MILLING
Milling is a unit operation technique, which involves the conversion
of grains to flour through size reduction.
ENRICHMENT/FORTIFICATION
Enrichment is the addition of nutrients that were lost during
processing.
Fortification is the addition of nutrients that are not present in the
flour.
It is carried out by quality assurance.
QUALITY ASSESSMENT
Quality assessment is a series of tests carried out on processed flour to
determine the nutritional quality of the flour.
QUALITY CONTROL
These are the procedures followed to determine the nutritional quality
and proximate composition of the flour.
QUALITY ASSURANCE
These are the personnel/individuals responsible for carrying out the
quality control process.
PACKAGING
The carousel packer is used in filling the bag. An empty semi-sealed
bag is place at a spout, which is then clamped by the carousel, rotated
and filled. It then moves to the stitching machine where it is sewn,
then on to the coding machine where production details are added.
CONCLUSION
In conclusion, industrial visit has created a platform for students to
know the basic steps in the production of flour and baking of bread,
and importance of gluten in flour milling and baking.
RECOMENDATION
• Students should be allowed frequent visits to the food industries to
give them the necessary exposure
• The government and the school management should give support for
the industrial visits
