Hard Wheat Flour

Category: Wheat Flour
Whiteness Index: 70-75%
(depends on flour type)

This type of flour is suitable for producing robust bread varieties such as baguettes, ciabatta, or traditional Turkish hard-crusted breads.

Packaging: Typically in 25kg or 50kg bags, often made of polypropylene with inner liners to preserve freshness.

1. Physical and Chemical Characteristics

Protein Content: 12-14% (on a dry basis)
Gluten Content**: 28-34% (wet gluten)
Moisture: ≤ 14%
Ash Content: 0.5-0.65% (on a dry basis, 0.65% for whole wheat flour)
Falling Number: 250-300 seconds (indicates enzyme activity)
pH: 5.8-6.2

2. Rheological Properties (Dough Characteristics)

Water Absorption: 58-65% (using Farinograph)
Dough Stability: 10-15 minutes (Farino/Alveograph)
P/L Ratio: 0.6-0.8 (Alveograph; indicates elasticity versus extensibility)
Energy Value (W): 250-300 J (Alveograph; indicates dough strength)

3. Microbiological Limits

Total Plate Count: ≤ 10,000 CFU/g
Yeast and Mold: ≤ 100 CFU/g
Pathogens: Absent (Salmonella, E. coli, etc.)

4. Additional Considerations

Whiteness Index: 70-75% (depends on flour type)
Additives: May contain malted barley flour, ascorbic acid, or enzymes to enhance baking properties.
Packaging: Typically in 25kg or 50kg bags, often made of polypropylene with inner liners to preserve freshness.
