Effect of Milling on the Lysine Content of Flour of Fortified Wheat

In recent years, lysine fortification of wheat and wheat products has attracted considerable attention, as a measure for improving the quality of protein. Fortification of wheat with lysine infused grains has been developed as a possibility for this purpose. Although, lysine fortified wheat can be ground to wholemeal of 100 per cent extraction without incurring loss, it is likely that this may also be used by the roller flour mills for conversion into low extraction (70-72%) flour required by the trade.
