Flour milling process involves the grinding of wheat, corn, barley, sorghum and other seeds into a fine powder that is used for human consumption. A milling machine is used to grind the seeds, but you can also use a mortar and a pestle for small quantities production.
The milling machine did not exist in the past and people had to grind the flour manually. You will need to wash the grains to get rid of dust and other foreign particles before you can grind it. In addition, make sure the grains are dried up for easy milling. Once you have dried your grains, feed them in the milling machine in small quantities.
The machine will remove the outer coat and grind the remaining content into a fine powder that is ready for human consumption. For industrial flour milling process, additives are used to make the flour whiter while oxidizing agents are used to improve the quality of baking flour. Vitamins and other minerals may also be added to replace those lost during milling. Once the wheat is ready, it will need to undergo purification before it can be released in the market for human consumption.
