Flour Disk Reflectance as a Measure of Breadmaking Quality.

A preliminary study indicates that wheat quality can be determined indirectly by light-reflectance measurements of pressed disks of a flour-lactic acid mixture. In laboratory tests of 67 hard wheat samples, the reflectance readings of the flour disks were inversely and significantly correlated, at the 1% level, with breadmaking quality as measured by protein content, sedimentation value, and loaf volume.
