The proportion of Norwegian wheat used for food has varied significantly during the recent decade, mainly because of the instability of factors that are essential to baking quality (i.e. protein content and gluten functionality). During the same period, serious contamination of Fusarium spp. and mycotoxins was observed in some grain lots [1, 2]. A project was established to generate greater knowledge of the interface between gluten functionality and effects of Fusarium species and other microorganisms on Norwegian wheat quality. Instances of severe degradation of gluten proteins that resulted in an almost complete loss of gluten functionality were observed in some lots of Norwegian wheat. The degradation of the gluten appeared to be caused by exogenous proteases. Metabarcoding of fungi and bacteria in these grain lots identified fungi within the Fusarium Head Blight complex, as well as one bacterial species, as candidate species for influencing gluten functionality. Some of these candidates were inoculated on wheat during flowering [3]. Analysis of baking quality of the flour from this experiment revealed a reduced proportion of un-extractable polymeric proteins (%UPP) and severe reductions in the gluten’s resistance to stretching (RMAX) in wheat flour from plants inoculated with Fusarium graminearum. Flour from wheat inoculated with Fusarium avenaceum was generally less infested, and showed minimal or no reduction in gluten functionality and %UPP compared to flour from the F. graminearum infested samples. Flour from wheat inoculated with Michrodochium majus is yet to be analysed. References 1.

Sammendrag

A small scale ensiling Experiment was carried out in order to examine whether Processing of Whole Crop wheat may have negative implications during fermentation, e.g. elevated losses of starch by hydrolysis and whether Application of additive in order to restrict eh fermentation will moderate or intensify such an effect. It was concluded that kernel Processing prior to ensiling may facilitate starch degradation and have negative impacts on the nutritional value of late harvested Whole Crop wheat silage. Application of acid based additve had no significant impact on starch degradation in this Experiment.

Total tract apparent digestibility of early dough and hard dough stage of maturity harvested Whole Crop Wheat by Dairy cows was examined in a latin square experimental design. The Whole Crop wheat was ensiled in big bales. The silage was either crushed or not crushed prior to feeding. The starch was completely harvested, regardless of stage of maturity or Processing.
