Abstract

This study investigates the hydrothermal treatment of wheat grain to optimize moistening conditions and enhance flour quality. Utilizing both conventional analytical methods and advanced computational modeling techniques, specifically COMSOL Multiphysics, the research examines moisture distribution dynamics across different grain layers (shell, endosperm, and germ) and their impact on milling efficiency. Experimental findings indicate that cold and high-speed conditioning offer distinct advantages depending on the physicochemical properties of the grain.
