Discussion
Statement I: Wheat is conditioned with water before milling.
Statement II: Damp bran is tough and peels away in flakes rather than shattering into the flour.
In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer.
Answer: C
Correct answer: Both Statement I and Statement II are correct
Both statements are correct and the second explains the first. Conditioning adds a measured quantity of water and rests the wheat so the moisture penetrates the outer layers.
Damp bran becomes tough and leathery, so at the break rolls it peels away in flakes that sieves and purifiers can remove cleanly, instead of shattering into fine specks that pass into the flour and raise its ash. The endosperm meanwhile mellows and breaks up with less power, so conditioning improves purity and energy consumption together.
