In an effort to expand the knowledge of professionals in the flour milling industry, the International Association of Operative Millers (IAOM) and the IGP Institute partnered in hosting the Introduction to Flour Milling course.
This five day course trained seven professionals from across the US and surrounding countries. Participants engaged in all aspects of flour mill processes including wheat selection, milling, blending and baking functionality.
'The class spent the week learning about everything that goes into the operations of a flour mill,' says Shawn Thiele, grain processing curriculum manager and IGP Institute associate director of the IGP Institute. 'They started off learning about the six wheat classes and worked through cleaning, conditioning, the milling system, blending, and baking the finished product.'
Thiele adds that most of the participants had many years working in the industry, but were new to the flour milling process. In particular, Kim Cooper, manager of government affairs for North American Millers Association (NAMA), had never witnessed the actual process of milling.
