Standards: Connecting the world of flour

The FarinoGraph, standards-approved for the first time more than 60 years ago, covers all of the main national and international standards for flour, water absorption, and dough rheology. This ensures certainty on grain, flour, and dough quality along the entire value chain as well as communication in the worldwide recognized language for flour analysis: Brabender/Farinograph Units (BU/FU). And it makes the FarinoGraph a crucial link between the milling and bakery industries.

• Standards compliance for trusted product quality
• Farinograph/Brabender Units connect business partners

Cracking the flour code: Farinogram’s crucial insights

The Farinogram shows the quality characteristics of flour. It covers the following parameters: Water Absorption (WA): The more water flour can absorb, the higher the dough yield. It’s critical for the intended use of the flour. Dough Stability (S): The longer the stability of the dough, the higher the fermentation and kneading tolerance. FarinoGraph Quality Number (FQN): It can be used to describe the characteristics of flour in just one figure. Dough Development Time (DDT): Describes the time from the start of water addition until the maximum consistency is reached. Degree of Softening (DS): Calculated 12 minutes after the dough has reached the maximum consistency.
