The Importance Of Wheat Flour

1353 Words6 Pages

CHAPTER ONE 1.INTRODUCTION 1.1 BACKGROUND Flour is a fine powder made from ground wheat and starchy foods. Although flour can be produced from various plants, wheat remains the main source of flour for human consumption. It is used mainly in baking bread, which is the most readily available food for many cultures[1]. Wheat is one of the most important cereal crops in the world and is grown in different climates. The importance of wheat lies in the fact that wheat crop covers the largest area in the world of agricultural production. The most appropriate step in wheat processing is milling which produces different types of flour as well as different by-products such as bran, and shorts and also …show more content…

It is also one of the most useful cereal crop in Ethiopia[18].It is predominantly grown by small-scale farmers under rain fed condition in the highlands of Ethiopia[19].Compared with other cereals, it provides food for human with more calories and proteins in the daily diet, a considerable amount of trade REFRENCE(FINAL)

Through these methods there is not preferred method when it comes to finding the percentage of an unknown substance, but which is more effective in accurately depicting what that unknown substance is. Standard deviation plays a major part in this experiment to help balance out and find the mean of the unknown substance to help constitute what it is.

    Summary Determining the concentration of a liquid can be a tricky process involving complex procedures if it were not for science’s ability to test a substance’s absorbency through spectrophotometry. The experiment was carried out to discover the concentration of Red Dye #40 in several common soft drinks. The samples of the dye were diluted, and tested using a spectrophotometer. The absorbencies of these samples were then recorded, and a standard line curve with the concentration equation and R2 value was created with these results. Using the absorbencies of the dye samples, the concentrations of the soda samples were determined using the slope equation provided by the graphing software.

After World War I farmers created a way to produce more wheat without it costing them much money. Many farmers purchased plows and other equipment. Farmers plowed many acres of land in efforts to make money. This farming technique the farmers used helped produce record numbers of wheat from 1925 to 1930.

    During the Civil War from 1861 to 1865 food was scarce in the South. In the time of war rations had to be transported long distances, so the Commissary Departments relied on foods that could be preserved easily. Wheat flour was not one of these easily preserved food and therefore was quite scarce in the South. Due to the lack of wheat flour many soldiers baked bread from any available ingredients. One of these ingredients was white cornmeal, which the soldiers used to make shortbread.

    Ever since the emergence of mankind, humans have always prioritized their search for food and water. Even today the need for sustenance is still prominent; however, methods for producing it have evolved over time. The Paleolithic people went about scavenging, hunting, fishing, and gathering on their quest for food. The Neolithic Revolution marked a transition from such practices into the “cultivations of crops and the domestication of animals.” (Strayer, pg.12) Even after thousands of years, although techniques have changed, the basic concept of agricultural cultivation has still remained similar.
