Users of soft wheat have identified variation in quality to be a major root cause of challenges encountered in downstream processing. These challenges are currently managed reactively, and are exacerbated by a fundamental lack of understanding in terms of defining the principal quality characteristics of soft wheat for a given process.This project will address this challenge by identifying desirable quality characteristics, developing analytical tests to allow screening of soft wheat lines, and finally testing the stability of these characteristics in the context of variation according to growing environment and year. This will enable a new pipeline of quality soft wheat varieties in the UK, less reliance on wheat imports, and a reduction in downtime and use of processing aids in downstream manufacturing.

软质小麦的用户已经确定，质量变化是下游加工中遇到挑战的主要根源。这些挑战目前是被动管理的，并且由于在定义给定工艺的软质小麦的主要质量特征方面缺乏基本的理解而加剧。该项目将通过确定理想的品质特征，开发分析测试以筛选软小麦品系，并最终根据生长环境和年份测试这些特征在变化背景下的稳定性来应对这一挑战。这将为英国提供优质软质小麦品种的新渠道，减少对小麦进口的依赖，并减少下游生产中的停机时间和加工助剂的使用。
