Effect of Evaporative Water Cooled Grinding on Milling Quality of Wheat

Wheat is the main food cereal of our daily diet. It is consumed mostly in the form of flour. Many milling methods have been developed for grinding of wheat. Stone and roller mills are the two prime methods used for grinding whole grains (Kent and Evers, 1994). Stone mills are being utilized from the ancient times for making whole grain flours. In this method, wheat kernels are grinded between two stones under the combined action of compression, shear, and abrasion (Kihlberg et al., 2004). In the roler mill process, wheat is passed through a series of corrugated and smooth rollers accompanied by sifting between stages.
