abstract: The paper presents the influence of gluten content and wheat glassiness on the wheat grinding energy. Wheat samples with gluten content ranging from 22.3% to 43.7% and wheat glassiness of 15% to 89% were used in the present research. Statistical analyses of results showed that with an increase of the gluten content from 22.3% to 43.7% and glassiness from 15% to 89%, the fragmentizer capacity decreased to about 33%. However, individual grinding energy increased from 74 to 124 J g-1.
