Milling and Baking Quality Testing at U S Department of Agriculture
The U S Department of Agriculture operates a modern milling and baking laboratory costing $60 000 to study the milling and baking qualities of grain. Wheat samples pass through a grinding and moisture analysis lab, are tempered, milled on a small testing mill, and baked in a controlled bakery to assess loaf volume texture and flavor under standardized conditions. The work supports federal wheat standards and aids other bureaus in improving grain quality.
