Flour Classification
Wheat flour is categorized based on ash content, gluten content, granulation, and intended use:
1. Classification by Ash Content (Refinement Level)
Ash content indicates the level of refinement. Lower ash content means finer, whiter flour.
Flour Type | Ash Content (%) | Description | Common Use |
Premium (Extra Fine) Flour | 0.40 – 0.55 | Highly refined, bright white | Pastries, cakes, biscuits |
First Grade Flour | 0.55 – 0.75 | Balanced refinement and strength | Bread, rolls, general baking |
Second Grade Flour | 0.75 – 1.25 | Higher bran content, slightly darker | Traditional & wholegrain breads |
Whole Wheat Flour | 1.25+ | Contains entire wheat grain | Healthy & fiber-rich products |
2.Classification by Gluten Content (Protein Strength)
Gluten content affects elasticity and texture.
Flour Type | Gluten Content (%) | Description | Common Use |
Low-Gluten Flour | 6-9% | Soft texture, low elasticity | Cakes, biscuits, pastries |
Medium-Gluten Flour | 9-12% | Balanced strength & softness | All-purpose flour, soft bread |
High-Gluten Flour | 12-14% | Strong elasticity, chewy texture | Bread, pizza dough, pasta |
Durum Wheat Flour | 14-16% | Very strong gluten, yellowish color | Pasta, specialty bread |
3. Sorting by Granulation (Texture & Milling Fineness)
- Fine Flour: Smooth texture for cakes, pastries, and cookies
- Medium Flour: Balanced fineness for bread and general baking
- Coarse Flour: Heavier texture for whole-grain and rustic bread
4. Wheat Flour Grades for Export
Different countries have grading standards. The Russian GOST Standard includes:
- Vysshiy Sort (Premium Grade): Highly refined, bright white flour
- 1st Sort (First Grade): General-purpose, suitable for bread and baking
- 2nd Sort (Second Grade): Higher bran content, more nutritious
5. Packaging & Labeling for Export
- Weight Options: 1kg, 5kg, 10kg, 25kg, and 50kg bulk bags
- Packaging Materials: Paper, polypropylene, or food-grade plastic bags
- Labeling Requirements: Product name, grade, gluten %, ash content, milling date, country of origin, and compliance certifications
