CEREALS

•cereal is any edible


components of the grain

•a plant that is grown to


produce grain
GRAIN
A grain is a small, hard, dry seed,
with or without an
attached hull or fruit layer,
harvested for human or animal
consumption
COMPONENTS OF
GRAIN
ANATOMY OF A GRAIN
Grains are divided into
2 subgroups:

Whole Grains

Whole grains contain the entire grain kernel ― the


bran, germ, and endosperm. Examples of whole
grains include whole-wheat flour, bulgur (cracked
wheat), oatmeal, whole cornmeal, and brown rice.
Refined Grains

have been milled, a


process that removes the
bran and germ. This is
done to give grains a
finer texture and improve
their shelf life, but it also
removes dietary fiber,
iron, and many B
vitamins.
NATIVE OR
NATURAL
STARCH
These are starches coming
from a plant .
Seperated from grains and
tubers by a process called
PURIFIED WET MILLING . This
procedure employs various
STARCH technique of grinding ,
screening, and centrifuging
to separate the starch from
fiber oil, protein.
MODIFIED Starches that have been altered physically
and chemically, to modify one or more of
STARCHES its key chemical and/or physical property
TYPES OF CEREAL
JENNIE ANN F. RAMOS
WHEAT
Wheat is the most
common cereal produced
in the western world and it
is used in making bread,
muffins, noodles, pasta,
biscuits, cakes, pastries,
confectionery and other
culinary applications.
OATS
Oats are one of the hardest
cereals. They are either
rolled into flakes or ground into
tin rolled three grades of
oatmeal: coarse, medium, and
fine. Oats are used in rolled
oats-porridge, oatmeal-
porridge, thickening soups,
coating food, cakes, and
biscuits.
BARLEY
Barley is made of pearl barley when
the grains are husked, steamed,
rounded, and polished. Pearl barley is
also ground into fine flour. These
products are used for making barley
water for thickening soups and certain
stews. When roasted, barley is
changed into malt and as such is
used extensively in the brewing and
distilling of vinegar.
MAIZE
Maize is also known as corn,
sweetcorn or corn-on-
the cob and besides being
served as a vegetable, it
is processed into cornflakes
and corn flour. Maize
yields good oil suitable for
cooking.
RICE
Rice is classified according
to its mode of cultivation,
grain length and texture.
It comes from various
forms depending on its
type and the way it is
processed. These are
white, converted, instant,
brown, wild, glutinous,
specialty rice bran and wild
rice.
