The objective of this study was to determine the grinding characteristics of wheat with a low moisture content. Two kinds of wheat—soft spelt wheat and hard Khorasan wheat—were dried at 45 °C to reduce the moisture content from 12% to 5% (wet basis). Air drying at 45 °C and storage in a climatic chamber (45 °C, 10% relative humidity) were the methods used for grain dehydration. The grinding process was carried out using a knife mill. After grinding, the particle size distribution, average particle size and grinding energy indices were determined. In addition, the dough mixing properties of wholemeal flour dough were studied using a farinograph. It was observed that decreasing the moisture content in wheat grains from 12% to 5% made the grinding process more effective. As a result, the average particle size of the ground material was decreased. This effect was found in both soft and hard wheat. Importantly, lowering the grain moisture led to about a twofold decrease in the required grinding energy. Moreover, the flour obtained from the dried grains showed higher water absorption and higher dough stability during mixing. However, the method of grain dehydration had little or no effect on the results of the grinding process or dough properties.

Abstract Background The use of X-ray irradiation in the control of the maize weevil, Sitophilus zeamais Motschulsky (Coleoptera: Curculionidae) infesting stored maize was tested at 60, 70 and 80 KeV as part of the international concerted efforts to save maize production and enhance food security. Investigations were done in the laboratory at mean temperature and relative humidity of 29.2 °C and 75.7%, respectively using three varieties of maize. The possibility that X-ray irradiation can affect the viability of maize grains when planted after weevil control process was also evaluated in the laboratory. Standard methods were used to achieve the specific objectives, and X-ray machine snap constituted the exposure time for each dose. Results The results revealed 10% mortality of adult weevils after 24 h and 40% mortality after a period of 7 days. The result indicates moderate effect on mortality. Progressive increase in mortality was recorded as dose increased from 60 to 80 KeV. X-ray irradiation at the doses tested did not significantly (P > 0.05) restrict S. zeamais emergence from maize grains and did not also significantly protect grains against damage and flour production. There was no difference in the pattern of daily emergence of new progenies and pattern of accumulated emergence. The relationship between X-ray irradiation doses and weight of emerging progenies require more specific analysis. Absence of significant difference between the viability of irradiated grains and un-irradiated grains strongly suggests that X-ray irradiation did not adversely affect seed viability, and this gives irradiation technique an opportunity of higher acceptability in agriculture. Conclusions We recommend > 80 KeV of X-ray irradiation or its incorporation into integrated pest management system in order to achieve effective post-harvest control of the pest.

The objective of this work was to evaluate the production of flour using by-products (cephalothorax) obtained from the shrimp (Litopenaeus vannamei) industry, and to perform a sensory analysis of shrimp flour-based products. Physicochemical and microbiological analyses on fresh cephalothorax and on manufactured flour were performed, as well as the determination of cholesterol content of this flour, and the sensorial evaluation of soup and pastry made with this flour. By the microbiological analyses, no pathogenic microorganism was detected in the samples. Physicochemical analyses of flour showed high levels of protein (50.05%) and minerals (20.97%). Shrimp cephalothorax flour showed high levels of cholesterol. The sensory evaluation indicated a good acceptance of the products, with satisfactory acceptability index (81% for soup, and 83% for pastry), which indicates that shrimp cephalothorax in the form of flour has a potential for developing new products.

Flour Production

In modern flour production, the preservation of all vitamins and minerals in it is relevant. Minerals and vitamins are stored in flour, ground from whole grains. In the stone mills, the grain is subjected to repeated exposure to the working surfaces of the millstones, as a result of which the flour contains a large percentage of the most important components of the grain. The stone mill’s drive should provide a low rotational speed of the mills (peripheral speed up to 10 m/sec.) and the possibility of smooth control of its speed and torque without reducing the performance of the mill. From this point of view, it is promising to use in the mill’s drive, instead of asynchronous motors, rotation with additional devices (gearboxes, belt drives, V-belt drives, etc.) of flat asynchronous electric drives. The article suggests possible variants of technical solutions for stone mills with flat electric drives. It was concluded that the use of a flat asynchronous motor in the mill’s drive allows not only smoothly adjusting the frequency and torque of the millstones, but also because of the presence of edge effects, to prevent flour sticking in the millstone working zone. Compiled with the possibility of solving by analytical methods a mathematical model of mill’s drive, based on a flat electric drives, taking into account the longitudinal edge effect, the strength of viscous (internal) and dry (external) friction. The mechanical characteristics of the drive were found when moving the flat electric drives inductors and the dependencies of the change in the mill productivity on the millstone rotation frequency when grinding various grains, changing the fill factor of the grinding zone and the gap between the millstones were obtained.

Nowadays, the original source of mineral fuel for engines was depleting increasingly while combustion products make the environment to be polluted, CO2emission which caused many greenhouse gases; this also makes crude oil prices fluctuate and rise. They tend to use biogas as a fuel for internal combustion engines which have been interested in the powerful countries. Supply of biogas from the waste of farms, flour production, fish processing, landfills, etc., with hundreds or thousands of cube meter of biomass daily leads demand on high-power generators using biogas in order to make good use of produced gas. This article introduces a technology solution for fuel engines using purely large-capacity biogas and operating under compression type fire. Accordingly, the tubular biogas Venturi mixer with electronic controller has been used to supply the mixture of fuel to engine. The CDI-DC ignition circuit provides a high voltage of 28kV for forced combustion of the mixture. Experimental results show that the mixer operates stably, well controlled and allows adjusting the ratio of air/fuel, as well as easily changing its speed when it is used as a hybrid engine for the generator. Some results of performance evaluation of biogas mixer will be presented in this article.
