Wheat

Next, is the milling process. Here, the wheat is turned into flour. Rotating at different speeds, the grist is passed through a series of fluted break rolls. These rolls are needed to shear the wheat open. This separates the white inner part from the outer skin. Secondly, the wheat grain fragments are separated by an arrangement of sieves. For final milling into white flour, white endosperm particles are channeled into a series of smooth reduction rolls. Pieces of bran with the endosperm…

Celiac Disease is a digestive, autoimmune disorder characterized by intolerance to gluten, a protein found in wheat products and other foods. When gluten is ingested, the immune system forms antibodies that bind to parts of the villi of the small intestine, resulting in inflammation, damage to the intestine and malnutrition. Celiac disease is fairly common and can also be known as celiac sprue or gluten-sensitive enteropathy. One in 133 Americans has the disorder and needs to follow a…

1. What is celiac disease? When a person cannot digest gluten Celiac disease also known as sprue or coeliac disease is the immunes systems intolerance to gluten. Gluten is a protein that is normally found in wheat, barley and rye. The immune system responds to this intolerance in the small intestine by causing diarrhea, fatigue, weight loss, bloating, anemia. If it persists the small intestines will eventually become damaged to the point that it will not absorb nutrients. In children, the…

intolerance to gluten and dietary proteins present in wheat, rye, and barley. The disease usually manifests in childhood, and symptoms include diarrhea, abdominal pain, and failure to thrive. Symptoms in adulthood include anemia, fatigue, weight loss, diarrhea, constipation, and neurological symptoms.(1) It is the result of the interplay between environmental and genetic factors. The gliadin and glutenin fractions of wheat gluten and similar alcohol-soluble…

the history of what happened during the flour industry. First, the industry had to start somewhere. The mills had to have certain resources to make this industry possible. Minnesota had all of them. Rich, deep, soil was great for farmers to plant wheat, the best crop for making flour. Minnesota also had lots of rivers. St. Anthony Falls was a great river to power large mills. There were also lots of settlers. Minnesota had a large population in the cities during the industry. This meant for the…

Digestive System Gluten is a protein in wheat endosperm, a seed-produced seed which is used to make flour. Some natural food sources containing gluten is white flour, whole wheat flour, wheat germ and spelt. Some common symptoms that may indicate the presence of Celiac disease are vomiting, fatigue, abdominal bloating and pain, and weight loss. The two lab tests used to diagnose the disease is a blood test for gluten antibodies, or a biopsy of the small bowel to assess if any damage has been…
