Wheat processed

Uhe Parsons/Honeywell WHEAT process was deemed suitable as a candidate for disposing of the mustard agent munitions stored at Pueblo Chemical Depot, but its biotreatment component would not be effective for the treatment of the hydrolysates from the orga-nophosphorus nerve agents stored at Blue Grass. 

Although some initial successes were reported, the whole-wheat processes were shortlived, principally because the separation of fiber from gluten is difficult, and because drying of wet bran is energy-intensive. Batey84 opined that it seems unlikely that any wet-milling of wheat kernels will be economical, since only 6-7% of the kernels starch is lost in dry-milling.

Wheat bran is mostly used today in feed, and rarely for nonfood applications. The quantity of bran produced in the European Union represents more than 7 million tons per year. Straw, another coproduct of wheat processing, also has strong potential tonnages [2] it contains a similar amount of hemicellulose as wheat... 

Table 4-1 shows the changes made to the Parsons/ Honeywell WHEAT process since the Demonstration I tests (NRC, 2000). 

There are no apparent reasons for the combination of technologies in the WHEAT process to lead to unusual permitting or compliance problems. 

In this section, the findings and recommendations regarding the WHEAT process from the two ACW I Committee reports are reviewed to determine if they are stiU valid or if they have been addressed by the EDS tests or by information... 

Parsons/Honeywell WHEAT process indicate that successful integration of the process components is feasible. However, the individual steps have not been tested to demonstrate that the necessary thronghpnt rates and online availability levels can be achieved. 

By-product from durum wheat processing. It consists principally of fragments of the outer skins and of particles of grain from which the greater part of the endosperm has been removed (n = 142). 

To illustrate how we might apply the strategy outlined previously, we will look at one practical problem in the area of wheat processing quality. 

Wheat gluten is another protein from plants, which was intensively studied for its material applications. Wheat processing requires the presence of plasticizers such as glycerol or water to disrupt disulfide bonds. To control the formation of a crosslinked network, cysteine, formaldehyde or glutaraldehyde can be added. This contributes also to an improvement in moisture sensitivity and in elongation at break. On the other hand, the wheat gluten fibres have better properties compared to other protein-based bio products for biomedical applications.

The current enhancement of wheat processing in the starch industry leads to a rising output of w., which exceeds traditional utilization of - gluten in food and feed.
