In 1964, the company expanded its offering with the establishment of a polypropylene manufacturing plant that traded under the business name Nigerian Bag Manufacturing Company Limited. [7] The initial facility also processed wheat offals to be exported. [6] By 1971, the annual capacity of its wheat mill was 300,000 tonnes. [6]
Wheat middlings. Wheat middlings (also known as millfeed, wheat mill run, or wheat midds) are the product of the wheat milling process that is not flour. [1] A good source of protein, fiber, phosphorus, and other nutrients, they are a useful fodder for livestock and pets. [2] They are also being researched for use as a biofuel.
Triticum aestivum. L. Synonyms. Triticum sativum Lam. Triticum vulgare Vill. ssp. aestivum. Common wheat (Triticum aestivum), also known as bread wheat, is a cultivated wheat species. [1][2][3][4][5] About 95% of wheat produced worldwide is common wheat; [6] it is the most widely grown of all crops and the cereal with the highest monetary yield.
Modern milling of wheat into flour is a process that employs grooved steel rollers. The rollers are adjusted so that the space between them is slightly narrower than the width of the wheat kernels. As the wheat is fed into the mill, the rollers flake off the bran and germ while the starch (or endosperm) is
Dry milling of grain is mainly utilized to manufacture feedstock into consumer and industrial based products. This process is widely associated with the development of new bio-based associated by-products. The milling process separates the grain into four distinct physical components: the germ, flour, fine grits, and coarse grits.
Cereal germ. The germ of a cereal grain is the part that develops into a plant; [1] it is the seed embryo. [2] Along with bran, germ is often a by-product of the milling [3] that produces refined grain products. Cereal grains and their components, such as wheat germ oil, [4] rice bran oil, and maize bran, [5] may be used as a source from which ...
Unifine mill. A Unifine mill is a single one-pass impact milling system which produces ultrafine-milled whole-grain wheat flour that requires no grain pre-treatment and no screening of the flour. [1] Like the grist or stone mills that had dominated the flour industry for centuries, the bran, germ, and endosperm elements of grain are processed ...
Wheat is a grass widely cultivated for its seed, a cereal grain that is a staple food around the world. The many species of wheat together make up the genus Triticum (/ ˈtrɪtɪkəm /); [3] the most widely grown is common wheat (T. aestivum). The archaeological record suggests that wheat was first cultivated in the regions of the Fertile ...
