Odor Determination in Wheat Grain

Wheat has a unique smell. It should not contain any different or bad odor. Odors in wheat are divided into three:
- Normal Grain Smell: Fresh wheat smell, Warehouse smell
- Bad Grain Smell: Dampness, mold, kohl odors
- Foreign Smells: Smells such as grass, gas, anise, onion, garlic

The odor determination of wheat can be done by taking a handful of wheat, breathing hard on the wheat in the palm, then smelling it and detecting the odor felt, or by diluting the crushed wheat at a rate of 1/10 and then smelling the steam released by boiling it.

Odors detected in wheat grains may also lead to physical and microbiological tests on the product. Thus, the storage conditions of the product can be interpreted.
