A description is given of a whitish whole flour and a process for
producing said flour, whereby said process involves: (a) supplying a
quantity of conditioned wheat grain; (b) fractionating the wheat grain to
obtain endosperm, bran, and germ; (c) separating and distributing the
endosperm, bran, and germ to allow them to be treated; (d) milling the
endosperm that is obtained in step (c) in order to homogenize the
particle size to approximately 150-180 microns; (e) treating the germ in
order to reduce the reactivity of the lipids contained therein; (f)
treating the bran obtained in step (c) by: (f-i) separating the stream of
bran coming from step (c) in order to produce a fine bran and a coarse
bran, and (f-ii) milling the coarse bran from step (f-i) in order to
obtain a pulverized bran with a particle diameter of approximately 180
microns; (g) mixing the endosperm from step (d), the germ from step (e),
the fine bran from step (f-i), and the pulverized bran from step (f-ii)
in a measurable and controlled manner in order to obtain a whitish
whole-wheat flour that consists of approximately 80.0% endosperm,
approximately 17.5% bran, and approximately 2.5% germ.
