The sulfhydryl-disulfide status of wheat kernel proteins underwent modifications during the conditioning process performed before milling. Wheat conditioned 12 hr to a moisture content of 16% at room temperature resulted in a significant increase of available sulfhydryls in the proteins of all parts of the kernel: endosperm, embryo, and bran, including both metabolic and storage proteins of the endosperm. The sulfhydryl groups generated during conditioning remained reduced even after lengthy storage of the flour at 4 degrees C. The results imply that the technological quality of wheat flour may be considerably influenced by the conditioning process used before milling, as well as by subsequent storage conditions.
