Wheat grain (Triticum aestivum) comprising an embryo and starch, wherein the embryo comprises two identical alleles of an SBEIIa-A gene, two identical alleles of an SBEIIa-B gene and two identical alleles of an SBEIIa-D gene, wherein each of the SBEIIa genes gives rise to an amount of protein (w/w) or a protein having SBEIIa activity which is lower than the corresponding wild-type gene, and at least one of said genes comprises a point mutation, wherein the starch comprises amylose such that the grain has an amylose content of at least 50% (w/w) as a proportion of the extractable starch of the grain.

A grain flour includes milled grains of at least one grain selected from the group consisting of barley and oat. In the grain flour, the average grain diameter is in the range of 40-100 m. The content of grains having a grain diameter less than 20 m is not greater than 20 mass %, the content of grains having a grain diameter in the range of 20-100 m is in the range of 20-60 mass %, the content of grains having a grain diameter greater than 100 m and not greater than 500 m is in the range of 20-60 mass %, and the content of grains having a grain diameter greater than 500 m is not greater than 5%. An application food using the grain flour is produced from a starting material which contains at least 5% of the grain flour. A method for producing the grain flour is also provided.

The invention relates to a method for grinding and drying a material or material mixture (M), using a cyclone device (10) which communicates with an outlet line (52) for gas (G) and material (M) processed in the cyclone device (10), wherein at least a portion of the gas (G) and material (M) in the outlet line (52) are returned into a lower opening (14) of the cyclone device (10) for further cyclone treatment. The invention relates also to an apparatus.

Seed crushing device comprising a receiving space for a seed grain, defined by one or more side walls, designed to be positioned in at least a first position, where the receiving space is freely accessible from its top side for placing the seed grain in the receiving space; and where the receiving space at its bottom is closed to support a seed grain that has been placed, and a second position, where the receiving space is freely accessible from its top side to accommodate a pestle in the receiving space, and where the receiving space at the bottom is closed for crushing the seed grain by pushing the pestle towards the bottom and for supporting the flower thus formed; and a third position, where the receiving space is free at least the bottom for discharging the flower in a filling position from a deep well plate.

Methods for producing a purified wheat embryo product are disclosed. In one embodiment, producing a purified wheat embryo product includes the steps of: accelerating a plurality of wheat berries toward an impact surface, impacting each of the plurality of wheat berries against the impact surface, dislodging at least some of the wheat embryos from the wheat berries in response to the impacting step such that the dislodged embryos are intact, and separating the dislodged wheat embryos from the bran and the endosperm to produce an intermediate purified wheat embryo product.
