Variation in the physical properties of oat groats, flakes and oat flake flour – Processability of thirty pure cultivar oat batches from Finland

The aim of this study was to understand the processability thirty pure cultivar oat batches and how physical properties groats flakes affect characteristics flake flour. This conducted by investigating relationship between chemical composition oats groats, flours produced industrial scale milling process. It clearly shown that behaved differently in process were interrelated. For example, separation bran endosperm particles dry fractionation connected as well particle size distribution flours. Furthermore, it flowability bran-endosperm flour fractionation. demonstrated role raw material different mill products, which deepens understanding is important when aiming at producing products with high quality.
