The starchy endosperm proportion in durum wheat grain and its ability to be isolated from the peripheral tissues appear as main intrinsic characteristics potentially related to the milling value but still difficult to assess. In this study, several durum wheat samples displaying distinct grading characteristics were analyzed and processed through a pilot mill. The histological composition of grains and milling fractions was monitored by using identified biochemical markers of each wheat grain tissue. Contrasted milling yields of semolina and flour were observed between samples, despite displaying a similar starchy endosperm proportion determined by hand dissection. These yields were related both to differences in the starchy endosperm extraction and to the presence of the aleurone layer, particularly its cellular content. Furthermore, two distinct types of fractionation behavior of the aleurone layer were distinguished depending on the wheat grain sample. Extraction of the envelopes and embryonic axis into semolina and flours were found negligible in comparison with the other tissues.
