abstract: The influence of protein content in wheat grain on the SKCS hardness index and grinding energy was presented. The 12 wheat samples of different protein content ranged from 11.50% to 17.25% were used in this study. The hardness index was measured on two kind of samples: kernel of moisture content 13.5% and 16.5%. The statistical analysis of results show the positive correlations between the protein content in wheat and the hardness index before and after wetting. The positive correlation was affirmed between the grinding energy and the protein content.
