Analyzes Made in Our Laboratory
In the Food Laboratory under the Balıkesir Commodity Exchange Agricultural and Animal Products Economic Enterprise; Quality control analyzes of grain, grain products, feed and feed raw materials are carried out. In the food laboratory established with the best and most modern devices, the aim of our Exchange is; to improve the quality of producers 'and farmers' products and to contribute to their development. In our laboratory established in this context:

Wheat: Moisture, Hectoliter Weight, Gluten, Gluten Index, Sedimentation Determination, Delayed Sedimentation Determination

Flour: Moisture, Gluten, Gluten Index, Sedimentation Determination, Delayed Sedimentation, Protein, Ash

In Cereals: Hectoliter Weight, Moisture

Feed and Feed Raw Material: Protein, Cellulose, Starch, Hectolitre Weight, Ash and Moisture

HECTOLITER WEIGHT DETERMINATION

It is the kilogram weight of 100 liters. It covers the determination of flour yields of cereals (Wheat, Barley, etc.) through hectoliters. As the hectoliter increases, the flour yield of wheat increases. In general, the grains with small, long, thick crusts and deep abdominal cavities have a low hectolitre weight.

MOISTURE

It is the ratio of water contained in the product. The amount of moisture is more important for trade, storage and milling. Moisture rate is of great importance in maintaining the quality of the product. It is easier for products with high humidity to get hot, mold, germinate and be attacked by insects. Storage becomes difficult, the technological value of the product drops significantly.

GLUTEN (AGE SELF%) AND GLUTEN INDEX

Gluten is a protein specific to wheat only. When it comes to fermented bakery products, the amount and quality of wet gluten are very important quality criteria. The wet essence holds the gas created by the yeast, allowing the volume of the bread to occur.

Gluten index value is one of the methods used to determine wet core quality. This value is the measure of the strength of the flour.

SEDIMENTATION AND DELAYED SEDIMENTATION VALUE ASSESSMENT

It is the fastest and easiest of various tests to determine the bread quality of wheat flour. By interpreting the number obtained as a result of this test, important information about the quality and structure of the bread to be made from that wheat flour is obtained.

Delayed Sedimentation; It is a method used to determine wheat damaged by sunflower or flour obtained from them. If a value lower than the normal sedimentation value is obtained, there may be sun damage.

ASH DETERMINATION

In cereals and feeds, ash is the residue formed by mineral substances left behind by burning.

Ash content is an important quality criterion for flour. The high amount of ash indicates that the flour has high efficiency.

The raw ash content of the feed and feed raw materials as a result of the analysis will contain natural inorganic substances in the feed, as well as materials such as dust, soil, sand that are mixed with the feed later.

Ash analysis can provide information in terms of nutritional value to control the compliance of the samples with the standards.

PROTEIN DETERMINATION

The most effective chemical data for determining the purpose of using a wheat is the amount of protein. It is the most important criterion that is taken into account in the production of wheat batter in order to provide the desired amounts in the flour to be produced according to the purpose of use (For example, the production of bread, biscuit, cake-blended flour)

It determines the amount of protein in feed and feed raw materials, provides information in terms of the control of the conformity of the product to the standards and nutritional value.

STARCH DETERMINATION

It is used in determination of carbohydrates such as starch in feed and feed raw materials by polarimetric method and gives information in terms of nutritional value. It is especially helpful in classifying bran, bonquality and razmol.

CELLULOSE DETERMINATION

It determines the amount of cellulose in feed and feed raw materials, provides information about the control of the conformity of the product to the standards and nutritional value.

DEVICE LIST AND QTY

GLUTEN WASHING DEVICE: It is used to determine the amount of gluten in flour and ground wheat. Analyzes two separate samples in 10 minutes. Gluten washing device is suitable for general gluten washing procedure and works fully automatically. The device has two washing heads, right and left, and has the ability to wash two different samples at the same time. The device performs 20 seconds of kneading and 280 seconds of washing in the general gluten washing procedure and gives the result of the sample after a total of 5 minutes and warns the user with a signal sound.	1
GLUTEN CENTRIFUGAL DEVICE: It is used to determine the gluten quality (index) in flour and ground wheat. Thanks to its index value, it enables wheat to be classified as weak, medium and strong. Gluten obtained from the gluten washing device should be placed in the Gluten centrifuge within 30 seconds. The device performs 6000 rpm for 1 minute and provides separation according to gluten bonds. It takes about 7 - 8 minutes to determine both the wet essence amount and the gluten index value in wheat crushing.	1
LABORATORY TYPE FLOUR MILL The physical measurements used in determining the quality of wheat are simple to make and, to some extent, are helpful in determining the milling ability of wheat and the bread ability of flour. The grinding ability of the wheat can be determined directly in special laboratory mills.	1
SEDIMENTATION DEVICE: It is an important method that provides information about the gluten quality of wheat. Sedimentation value varies according to the grinding technique. Delayed sedimentation test is a method used to determine wheat damaged wheat or flour obtained from them.	1
HECTOLITER DEVICE: Hectoliter weight measurement in wheat is a method used all over the world for raw material purchasing and calculating the flour yield. In addition to wheat, corn, oats, paddy, rice, lentil…. etc. It is used to measure the hectoliter in cereals. 1 lt. 5000g which can measure the weight of cereals in volume. capacity, 1 g precision laboratory scale with electronic digital display. In the form of a cylinder 1 lt. measuring cup. Sample smoothing apparatus.	1
HUMIDITY DEVICE: HE 50 HUMIDITY DEVICE Measuring Method: The sample taken with the sampling container is poured into the cell. With the help of a key, the top of the cell is screwed into place. The cell is placed in its place and the amount of moisture is selected from the product selection switches. The selected product appears on the screen when the measurement button is pressed. HE-50 completes the measurement in a few seconds and makes the temperature correction automatically and shows the result on the screen. No correction is required as the HE-50 is accurate. Measuring Cell: Especially designed for agricultural use, the measuring cell can be used in many products. Product breakage in the new cell creates the best conditions for moisture measurement. This ensures reliable measurement of HE-50 on freshly harvested grains and other crops.	1
