Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards
bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out
through ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical
committee has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International
organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work.
ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of
electrotechnical standardization.
International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2.
The main task of technical committees is to prepare International Standards. Draft International
Standards adopted by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for voting.
Publication as an International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies
casting a vote.
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of
patent rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
ISO 5530-1 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 34, Food products, Subcommittee SC 4,
Cereals and pulses.
This third edition cancels and replaces the second edition (ISO 5530-1:1997), which has been
technically revised.
ISO 5530 consists of the following parts, under the general title Wheat flour — Physical characteristics
of doughs:
— Part 1: Determination of water absorption and rheological properties using a farinograph
— Part 2: Determination of rheological properties using an extensograph

4 Principle
Measuring and recording, by means of a farinograph, the consistency of a dough as it is formed from
flour and water, as it is developed, and as it changes with time.
NOTE The maximum consistency of the dough is adjusted to a fixed value by adapting the quantity of water
added. The correct water addition, which is called the water absorption, is used to obtain a complete mixing
curve, the various features of which are a guide to the rheological properties (strength) of the dough.
5 Reagent
Use only distilled or demineralized water or water of equivalent purity.
6 Apparatus
The usual laboratory apparatus and, in particular, the following:
1)
6.1 Farinograph (see Annex A), with the following operating characteristics:
–1
— slow blade rotational frequency: (63 ± 2) min (rev/min); the ratio of the rotational frequencies of
the mixing blades shall be 1,50 ± 0,01;
— torque per farinograph unit:
— for a 300 g mixer: (9,8 ± 0,2) mN·m/FU [(100 ± 2) gf·cm/FU];
— for a 50 g mixer: (1,96 ± 0,04) mN·m/FU [(20 ± 0,4) gf·cm/FU];
— chart speed: (1,00 ± 0,03) cm/min.
6.1.1 Burettes.
a) for a 300 g mixer, graduated from 135 ml to 225 ml in 0,2 ml divisions.
b) for a 50 g mixer, graduated from 22,5 ml to 37,5 ml in 0,1 ml divisions.
6.1.2 Thermostat, with circulating water for constant temperature (30 °± 0,2) °C.
6.2 Balance, capable of weighing to the nearest ±0,1 g.
6.3 Spatula, thin, made of soft plastic.
7 Sampling
Sampling is not part of the method specified in this part of ISO 5530. A recommended sampling method
[3]
is given in ISO 24333.
It is important that the laboratory receive a sample which is truly representative and which has not been
damaged or changed during transport and storage.
1) This part of ISO 5530 has been drawn up on the basis of the Brabender Farinograph, which is an example of a
suitable product available commercially. This information is given for the convenience of users of this part of ISO
5530 and does not constitute an endorsement by ISO of this product. Other equipment may be used if it can be

8 Procedure
8.1 Determination of the moisture content of the flour
Determine the moisture content of the flour using the method specified in ISO 712.
8.2 Preparation of farinograph
NOTE See details of electronic farinograph characteristics and procedure in A.4.
8.2.1 Turn on the thermostat of the farinograph (6.1.2) and circulate the water, until the required
temperature is reached, prior to using the instrument. Before and during use, check the temperatures of
the thermostat and of the mixing bowl, the latter in the hole provided for this purpose. The temperature
of the mixing bowl shall be (30 ± 0,2) °C.
The laboratory temperature should be between 18 °C and 30 °C.
8.2.2 Uncouple the mixer from the driving shaft and adjust the position of the counterweight(s) so as
to obtain zero deflection of the pointer with the motor running at the specified rotational frequency (see
6.1). Switch off the motor and then couple the mixer.
8.2.3 Lubricate the mixer with a drop of water between the back-plate and each of the blades. Check
that the deflection of the pointer is within the range (0 ± 5) FU with the mixing blades rotating at the
specified rotational frequency in the empty, clean bowl. If the deflection exceeds 5 FU, clean the mixer
more thoroughly or eliminate other causes of friction.
8.2.4 Adjust the arm of the pen so as to obtain identical readings from the pointer and the recording pen.
8.2.5 Adjust the damper so that, with the motor running, the time required for the pointer to go from
1 000 FU to 100 FU is (1,0 ± 0,2) s. This should result in a bandwidth of approximately 60 FU to 90 FU.
8.2.6 Fill the burette (6.1.1) with water at 30 °C. The time to flow from 0 ml to 225 ml or from 0 ml to
37,5 ml, respectively, shall be not more than 20 s.
8.3 Test portion
If necessary, bring the flour to a temperature of between 25 °C and 30 °C.
8.3.1 Constant flour mass procedure
Weigh (6.2), to the nearest 0,1 g, the equivalent of 300 g (for a 300 g mixer) or 50 g (for a 50 g mixer) of
flour having a moisture content of 14 % mass fraction. Let this mass, in grams, be m; see Table 1 for m as
a function of moisture content.
Place the test portion in the mixer. Cover the mixer, and keep it covered until the end of mixing except,
for the shortest possible time, when water has to be added and the dough has to be scraped down.
Switch on the thermostatically controlled heating.

8.4 Common rules of determination
For the steps of the operation not specified in this part of ISO 5530, follow the manufacturer’s instructions.
8.4.1 Mix at the specified rotational frequency for 1 min or slightly longer. Start adding water from
the burette into the right-hand front corner of the mixer within 25 s, when a whole-minute line on the
recorder paper passes by the pen.
NOTE In order to reduce the waiting time, the recorder paper can be moved forward during the mixing of the
flour. Do not move it backwards.
Add a volume of water close to that expected to produce a maximum consistency (9.2) of 500 FU. When
the dough forms, scrape down the sides of the bowl with the spatula (6.3) adding any adhering particles
to the dough, without stopping the mixer. If the consistency is too high, add a little more water to obtain
a maximum consistency of approximately 500 FU. Stop mixing and clean the mixer.
8.4.2 Carry out additional mixings as necessary, until two mixings are available
— in which the water addition has been completed within 25 s,
— the maximum consistencies of which are between 480 FU and 520 FU, and
— the recording of which has been continued for sufficient time to calculate all reported terms of the
selected method.
Stop mixing and clean the mixer.
9 Evaluation of the farinogram and calculation of the derived rheological
characteristics
9.1 General
From each sample, two determinations shall be carried out. Read directly or calculate the values of each
rheological characteristic to be determined from both farinograms. Express the results as the mean
value of the relevant data.
NOTE To facilitate the calculations, a computer can be used. In that case, it would be necessary to modify the
farinograph by adding an electrical output for transferring the data to the computer.
9.2 Water absorption of flour
In order to obtain the water absorption of flour (see 3.4) first from each of the mixings with maximum
consistencies (see 3.3) between 480 FU and 520 FU, derive the corrected volume, V , in millilitres, of
c
water corresponding to a maximum consistency of 500 FU, by means of Formulae (3) and (4):
a) for a 300 g mixer:
V = V + 0,096(C – 500)
c
(3)
b) for a 50 g mixer:
8 © ISO 2013 – All rights reserved

---------------------- Page: 12 ----------------------
ISO 5530-1:2013(E)

V = V + 0,016(C – 500)
c
(4)
where
V is the volume, in millilitres, of water added;
C is the maximum consistency, in farinograph units (see Figure 1), given by
cc+
12
C=
2
where
c is the maximum height of the upper contour of the curve, in farinograph units;
1
c is the maximum height of the lower contour of the curve, in farinograph units.
2
NOTE In the relatively infrequent case where two maxima are observed, use the height of the higher maximum.
Use for the calculation, the mean value of duplicate determinations of V , provided the difference between
c
them does not exceed 2,5 ml (for a 300 g mixer) or 0,5 ml (for a 50 g mixer) of water.
The water absorption, W , expressed in millilitres per 100 g of flour at 14 % (mass fraction) moisture
a
content, is equal to
— for a 300 g mixer:
WV= +−m 300 ×0,333 (5)
()
a c
— for a 50 g mixer:
WV= +m−×50 2 (6)
()c
a
where
is the mean value of the duplicate determinations of the corrected volume, in millilitres, of water corresponding to a
V
c
maximum consistency of 500 FU;
m is the mass, in grams, of the test portion derived from Table 1.
Report the result to the nearest 0,1 ml per 100 g.
9.3 Characteristics relating to the consistency of dough
Consistency (3.1) is a continuously changing characteristic of dough, which is demonstrated on the
farinogram. Evaluation of the curve can be carried out in various ways. From the farinogram, the
following characteristics can be derived:
— water absorption of flour (see 3.4);
— dough development time (DDT) (see 3.5);
— stability of dough (see 3.6);
— degree of softening (see 3.7);
— farinograph quality number (FQN) (see 3.9).

NOTE 1 Other definitions for some of these characteristics are also known (they are reported in AACC Method
[2] [5]
54-21.02 and Nieman ), but these cannot be compared with the characteristics defined in this part of ISO 5530.
With appropriate software, a computer can evaluate and document the most frequently required
[7]
characteristics listed above.
NOTE 2 The FQN can be reported together with, or instead of, the stability and the degree of softening. Using
the FQN instead of the stability and the degree of softening shortens the total mixing time, especially in the case
of doughs from weaker flours. There is good correlation between the quality number and the stability and the
degree of softening respectively.
A representative farinogram demonstrating the commonly measured characteristics of dough
consistency is shown in Figure 1. See examples of farinogram types in Annex B.

Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards
bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out
through ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical
committee has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International
organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work.
ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of
electrotechnical standardization.
International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2.
The main task of technical committees is to prepare International Standards. Draft International
Standards adopted by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for voting.
Publication as an International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies
casting a vote.
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of
patent rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
ISO 5530-1 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 34, Food products, Subcommittee SC 4,
Cereals and pulses.
This third edition cancels and replaces the second edition (ISO 5530-1:1997), which has been
technically revised.
ISO 5530 consists of the following parts, under the general title Wheat flour — Physical characteristics
of doughs:

4 Principle
Measuring and recording, by means of a farinograph, the consistency of a dough as it is formed from
flour and water, as it is developed, and as it changes with time.
NOTE The maximum consistency of the dough is adjusted to a fixed value by adapting the quantity of water
added. The correct water addition, which is called the water absorption, is used to obtain a complete mixing
curve, the various features of which are a guide to the rheological properties (strength) of the dough.
5 Reagent
Use only distilled or demineralized water or water of equivalent purity.
6 Apparatus
The usual laboratory apparatus and, in particular, the following:
1)
6.1 Farinograph (see Annex A), with the following operating characteristics:
–1
— slow blade rotational frequency: (63 ± 2) min (rev/min); the ratio of the rotational frequencies of
the mixing blades shall be 1,50 ± 0,01;
— torque per farinograph unit:
— for a 300 g mixer: (9,8 ± 0,2) mN·m/FU [(100 ± 2) gf·cm/FU];
— for a 50 g mixer: (1,96 ± 0,04) mN·m/FU [(20 ± 0,4) gf·cm/FU];
— chart speed: (1,00 ± 0,03) cm/min.
6.1.1 Burettes.
a) for a 300 g mixer, graduated from 135 ml to 225 ml in 0,2 ml divisions.
b) for a 50 g mixer, graduated from 22,5 ml to 37,5 ml in 0,1 ml divisions.
6.1.2 Thermostat, with circulating water for constant temperature (30 °± 0,2) °C.
6.2 Balance, capable of weighing to the nearest ±0,1 g.
6.3 Spatula, thin, made of soft plastic.
7 Sampling
Sampling is not part of the method specified in this part of ISO 5530. A recommended sampling method
[3]
is given in ISO 24333.
It is important that the laboratory receive a sample which is truly representative and which has not been
damaged or changed during transport and storage.
1) This part of ISO 5530 has been drawn up on the basis of the Brabender Farinograph, which is an example of a
suitable product available commercially. This information is given for the convenience of users of this part of ISO
5530 and does not constitute an endorsement by ISO of this product. Other equipment may be used if it can be
shown to give comparable results.

8 Procedure
8.1 Determination of the moisture content of the flour
Determine the moisture content of the flour using the method specified in ISO 712.
8.2 Preparation of farinograph
NOTE See details of electronic farinograph characteristics and procedure in A.4.
8.2.1 Turn on the thermostat of the farinograph (6.1.2) and circulate the water, until the required
temperature is reached, prior to using the instrument. Before and during use, check the temperatures of
the thermostat and of the mixing bowl, the latter in the hole provided for this purpose. The temperature
of the mixing bowl shall be (30 ± 0,2) °C.
The laboratory temperature should be between 18 °C and 30 °C.
8.2.2 Uncouple the mixer from the driving shaft and adjust the position of the counterweight(s) so as
to obtain zero deflection of the pointer with the motor running at the specified rotational frequency (see
6.1). Switch off the motor and then couple the mixer.
8.2.3 Lubricate the mixer with a drop of water between the back-plate and each of the blades. Check
that the deflection of the pointer is within the range (0 ± 5) FU with the mixing blades rotating at the
specified rotational frequency in the empty, clean bowl. If the deflection exceeds 5 FU, clean the mixer
more thoroughly or eliminate other causes of friction.
8.2.4 Adjust the arm of the pen so as to obtain identical readings from the pointer and the recording pen.
8.2.5 Adjust the damper so that, with the motor running, the time required for the pointer to go from
1 000 FU to 100 FU is (1,0 ± 0,2) s. This should result in a bandwidth of approximately 60 FU to 90 FU.
8.2.6 Fill the burette (6.1.1) with water at 30 °C. The time to flow from 0 ml to 225 ml or from 0 ml to
37,5 ml, respectively, shall be not more than 20 s.
8.3 Test portion
If necessary, bring the flour to a temperature of between 25 °C and 30 °C.
8.3.1 Constant flour mass procedure
Weigh (6.2), to the nearest 0,1 g, the equivalent of 300 g (for a 300 g mixer) or 50 g (for a 50 g mixer) of
flour having a moisture content of 14 % mass fraction. Let this mass, in grams, be m; see Table 1 for m as
a function of moisture content.
Place the test portion in the mixer. Cover the mixer, and keep it covered until the end of mixing except,
for the shortest possible time, when water has to be added and the dough has to be scraped down.
Switch on the thermostatically controlled heating.

8.4 Common rules of determination
For the steps of the operation not specified in this part of ISO 5530, follow the manufacturer’s instructions.
8.4.1 Mix at the specified rotational frequency for 1 min or slightly longer. Start adding water from
the burette into the right-hand front corner of the mixer within 25 s, when a whole-minute line on the
recorder paper passes by the pen.
NOTE In order to reduce the waiting time, the recorder paper can be moved forward during the mixing of the
flour. Do not move it backwards.
Add a volume of water close to that expected to produce a maximum consistency (9.2) of 500 FU. When
the dough forms, scrape down the sides of the bowl with the spatula (6.3) adding any adhering particles
to the dough, without stopping the mixer. If the consistency is too high, add a little more water to obtain
a maximum consistency of approximately 500 FU. Stop mixing and clean the mixer.
8.4.2 Carry out additional mixings as necessary, until two mixings are available
— in which the water addition has been completed within 25 s,
— the maximum consistencies of which are between 480 FU and 520 FU, and
— the recording of which has been continued for sufficient time to calculate all reported terms of the
selected method.
Stop mixing and clean the mixer.
9 Evaluation of the farinogram and calculation of the derived rheological
characteristics
9.1 General
From each sample, two determinations shall be carried out. Read directly or calculate the values of each
rheological characteristic to be determined from both farinograms. Express the results as the mean
value of the relevant data.
NOTE To facilitate the calculations, a computer can be used. In that case, it would be necessary to modify the
farinograph by adding an electrical output for transferring the data to the computer.
9.2 Water absorption of flour
In order to obtain the water absorption of flour (see 3.4) first from each of the mixings with maximum
consistencies (see 3.3) between 480 FU and 520 FU, derive the corrected volume, V , in millilitres, of
c
water corresponding to a maximum consistency of 500 FU, by means of Formulae (3) and (4):
a) for a 300 g mixer:
V = V + 0,096(C – 500)
c
(3)
b) for a 50 g mixer:

9.3 Characteristics relating to the consistency of dough
Consistency (3.1) is a continuously changing characteristic of dough, which is demonstrated on the
farinogram. Evaluation of the curve can be carried out in various ways. From the farinogram, the
following characteristics can be derived:
— water absorption of flour (see 3.4);
— dough development time (DDT) (see 3.5);
— stability of dough (see 3.6);
— degree of softening (see 3.7);
— farinograph quality number (FQN) (see 3.9).

NOTE 1 Other definitions for some of these characteristics are also known (they are reported in AACC Method
[2] [5]
54-21.02 and Nieman ), but these cannot be compared with the characteristics defined in this part of ISO 5530.
With appropriate software, a computer can evaluate and document the most frequently required
[7]
characteristics listed above.
NOTE 2 The FQN can be reported together with, or instead of, the stability and the degree of softening. Using
the FQN instead of the stability and the degree of softening shortens the total mixing time, especially in the case
of doughs from weaker flours. There is good correlation between the quality number and the stability and the
degree of softening respectively.

consistency is shown in Figure 1. See examples of farinogram types in Annex B.

Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards
bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out
through ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical
committee has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International
organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work.
ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of
electrotechnical standardization.
International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2.
The main task of technical committees is to prepare International Standards. Draft International
Standards adopted by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for voting.
Publication as an International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies
casting a vote.
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of
patent rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
ISO 5530-1 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 34, Food products, Subcommittee SC 4,
Cereals and pulses.
This third edition cancels and replaces the second edition (ISO 5530-1:1997), which has been
technically revised.
ISO 5530 consists of the following parts, under the general title Wheat flour — Physical characteristics
of doughs:
— Part 1: Determination of water absorption and rheological properties using a farinograph
— Part 2: Determination of rheological properties using an extensograph

4 Principle
Measuring and recording, by means of a farinograph, the consistency of a dough as it is formed from
flour and water, as it is developed, and as it changes with time.
NOTE The maximum consistency of the dough is adjusted to a fixed value by adapting the quantity of water
added. The correct water addition, which is called the water absorption, is used to obtain a complete mixing
curve, the various features of which are a guide to the rheological properties (strength) of the dough.
5 Reagent
Use only distilled or demineralized water or water of equivalent purity.
6 Apparatus
The usual laboratory apparatus and, in particular, the following:
1)
6.1 Farinograph (see Annex A), with the following operating characteristics:
–1
— slow blade rotational frequency: (63 ± 2) min (rev/min); the ratio of the rotational frequencies of
the mixing blades shall be 1,50 ± 0,01;
— torque per farinograph unit:
— for a 300 g mixer: (9,8 ± 0,2) mN·m/FU [(100 ± 2) gf·cm/FU];
— for a 50 g mixer: (1,96 ± 0,04) mN·m/FU [(20 ± 0,4) gf·cm/FU];
— chart speed: (1,00 ± 0,03) cm/min.
6.1.1 Burettes.
a) for a 300 g mixer, graduated from 135 ml to 225 ml in 0,2 ml divisions.
b) for a 50 g mixer, graduated from 22,5 ml to 37,5 ml in 0,1 ml divisions.
6.1.2 Thermostat, with circulating water for constant temperature (30 °± 0,2) °C.
6.2 Balance, capable of weighing to the nearest ±0,1 g.
6.3 Spatula, thin, made of soft plastic.
7 Sampling
Sampling is not part of the method specified in this part of ISO 5530. A recommended sampling method
[3]
is given in ISO 24333.
It is important that the laboratory receive a sample which is truly representative and which has not been
damaged or changed during transport and storage.
1) This part of ISO 5530 has been drawn up on the basis of the Brabender Farinograph, which is an example of a
suitable product available commercially. This information is given for the convenience of users of this part of ISO
5530 and does not constitute an endorsement by ISO of this product. Other equipment may be used if it can be
shown to give comparable results.

8 Procedure
8.1 Determination of the moisture content of the flour
Determine the moisture content of the flour using the method specified in ISO 712.
8.2 Preparation of farinograph
NOTE See details of electronic farinograph characteristics and procedure in A.4.
8.2.1 Turn on the thermostat of the farinograph (6.1.2) and circulate the water, until the required
temperature is reached, prior to using the instrument. Before and during use, check the temperatures of
the thermostat and of the mixing bowl, the latter in the hole provided for this purpose. The temperature
of the mixing bowl shall be (30 ± 0,2) °C.
The laboratory temperature should be between 18 °C and 30 °C.
8.2.2 Uncouple the mixer from the driving shaft and adjust the position of the counterweight(s) so as
to obtain zero deflection of the pointer with the motor running at the specified rotational frequency (see
6.1). Switch off the motor and then couple the mixer.
8.2.3 Lubricate the mixer with a drop of water between the back-plate and each of the blades. Check
that the deflection of the pointer is within the range (0 ± 5) FU with the mixing blades rotating at the
specified rotational frequency in the empty, clean bowl. If the deflection exceeds 5 FU, clean the mixer
more thoroughly or eliminate other causes of friction.
8.2.4 Adjust the arm of the pen so as to obtain identical readings from the pointer and the recording pen.
8.2.5 Adjust the damper so that, with the motor running, the time required for the pointer to go from
1 000 FU to 100 FU is (1,0 ± 0,2) s. This should result in a bandwidth of approximately 60 FU to 90 FU.
8.2.6 Fill the burette (6.1.1) with water at 30 °C. The time to flow from 0 ml to 225 ml or from 0 ml to
37,5 ml, respectively, shall be not more than 20 s.
8.3 Test portion
If necessary, bring the flour to a temperature of between 25 °C and 30 °C.
8.3.1 Constant flour mass procedure
Weigh (6.2), to the nearest 0,1 g, the equivalent of 300 g (for a 300 g mixer) or 50 g (for a 50 g mixer) of
flour having a moisture content of 14 % mass fraction. Let this mass, in grams, be m; see Table 1 for m as
a function of moisture content.
Place the test portion in the mixer. Cover the mixer, and keep it covered until the end of mixing except,
for the shortest possible time, when water has to be added and the dough has to be scraped down.
Switch on the thermostatically controlled heating.

8.4 Common rules of determination
For the steps of the operation not specified in this part of ISO 5530, follow the manufacturer’s instructions.
8.4.1 Mix at the specified rotational frequency for 1 min or slightly longer. Start adding water from
the burette into the right-hand front corner of the mixer within 25 s, when a whole-minute line on the
recorder paper passes by the pen.
NOTE In order to reduce the waiting time, the recorder paper can be moved forward during the mixing of the
flour. Do not move it backwards.
Add a volume of water close to that expected to produce a maximum consistency (9.2) of 500 FU. When
the dough forms, scrape down the sides of the bowl with the spatula (6.3) adding any adhering particles
to the dough, without stopping the mixer. If the consistency is too high, add a little more water to obtain
a maximum consistency of approximately 500 FU. Stop mixing and clean the mixer.
8.4.2 Carry out additional mixings as necessary, until two mixings are available
— in which the water addition has been completed within 25 s,
— the maximum consistencies of which are between 480 FU and 520 FU, and
— the recording of which has been continued for sufficient time to calculate all reported terms of the
selected method.
Stop mixing and clean the mixer.
9 Evaluation of the farinogram and calculation of the derived rheological
characteristics
9.1 General
From each sample, two determinations shall be carried out. Read directly or calculate the values of each
rheological characteristic to be determined from both farinograms. Express the results as the mean
value of the relevant data.
NOTE To facilitate the calculations, a computer can be used. In that case, it would be necessary to modify the
farinograph by adding an electrical output for transferring the data to the computer.
9.2 Water absorption of flour
In order to obtain the water absorption of flour (see 3.4) first from each of the mixings with maximum
consistencies (see 3.3) between 480 FU and 520 FU, derive the corrected volume, V , in millilitres, of
c
water corresponding to a maximum consistency of 500 FU, by means of Formulae (3) and (4):
a) for a 300 g mixer:
V = V + 0,096(C – 500)
c
(3)
b) for a 50 g mixer:

them does not exceed 2,5 ml (for a 300 g mixer) or 0,5 ml (for a 50 g mixer) of water.
The water absorption, W , expressed in millilitres per 100 g of flour at 14 % (mass fraction) moisture

Report the result to the nearest 0,1 ml per 100 g.
9.3 Characteristics relating to the consistency of dough
Consistency (3.1) is a continuously changing characteristic of dough, which is demonstrated on the
farinogram. Evaluation of the curve can be carried out in various ways. From the farinogram, the
following characteristics can be derived:
— water absorption of flour (see 3.4);
— dough development time (DDT) (see 3.5);
— stability of dough (see 3.6);
— degree of softening (see 3.7);
— farinograph quality number (FQN) (see 3.9).

NOTE 1 Other definitions for some of these characteristics are also known (they are reported in AACC Method
[2] [5]
54-21.02 and Nieman ), but these cannot be compared with the characteristics defined in this part of ISO 5530.
With appropriate software, a computer can evaluate and document the most frequently required
[7]
characteristics listed above.
NOTE 2 The FQN can be reported together with, or instead of, the stability and the degree of softening. Using
the FQN instead of the stability and the degree of softening shortens the total mixing time, especially in the case
of doughs from weaker flours. There is good correlation between the quality number and the stability and the
degree of softening respectively.
A representative farinogram demonstrating the commonly measured characteristics of dough
consistency is shown in Figure 1. See examples of farinogram types in Annex B.

above 4 min) were conducted in 2009 by the Argentinian Institute for Standardization and Certification
(IRAM), Standarization Direction, Food and Health Management (see Annex C).
10.1.2 The precision of farinograph measurements (wheat flour with dough development time up to
4 min) were extracted from interlaboratory tests conducted between 1989 and 1990 by the Department
[5]
of Cereals, Feed and Bakery Technology (IGMB) of TNO Nutrition and Food Research (Netherlands).

7 Échantillonnage
L’échantillonnage ne fait pas partie de la méthode spécifiée dans la présente partie de l’ISO 5530. Une
[3]
méthode d’échantillonnage recommandée est donnée dans l’ISO 24333 .
Il est important que le laboratoire reçoive un échantillon réellement représentatif, non endommagé ou
modifié lors du transport et de l’entreposage.
8 Mode opératoire
8.1 Détermination de la teneur en eau de la farine
Déterminer la teneur en eau de la farine selon la méthode spécifiée dans l’ISO 712.
8.2 Préparation du farinographe
NOTE Voir A.4 pour des informations détaillées sur les caractéristiques du farinographe électronique et le
mode opératoire correspondant.
8.2.1 Mettre en marche le bain thermostatique du farinographe (6.1.2) et la circulation d’eau jusqu’à ce
que la température spécifiée soit atteinte, avant d’utiliser l’appareil. Avant et au cours de l’essai, contrôler
les températures du bain thermostatique et du pétrin, pour ce dernier au niveau de l’orifice prévu à cet
effet. La température du pétrin doit être de (30 ± 0,2) °C.
Il convient que la température du laboratoire soit comprise entre 18 °C et 30 °C.
8.2.2 Désaccoupler le pétrin de l’arbre de transmission et ajuster le contrepoids de la balance, de
manière que l’aiguille indique la déviation zéro lorsque le moteur tourne à la fréquence de rotation
spécifiée (voir 6.1). Arrêter le moteur et accoupler le pétrin.
8.2.3 Lubrifier le pétrin en mettant une goutte d’eau entre les parois du fond et chaque fraseur. Vérifier
que la déviation de l’aiguille est dans la plage de (0 ± 5) UF lorsque les fraseurs tournent à la fréquence
de rotation spécifiée dans le pétrin vide et propre. Si la déviation dépasse 5 UF, nettoyer le pétrin plus
soigneusement ou éliminer toute autre cause de friction.
8.2.4 Régler le bras de la plume enregistreuse afin d’obtenir des lectures identiques au niveau de
l’aiguille et de la plume.
8.2.5 Régler l’amortisseur de manière que, avec le moteur en marche, le temps nécessaire pour que
l’aiguille aille de 1 000 UF à 100 UF soit de (1,0 ± 0,2) s. Il convient que cela conduise à une largeur de
bande d’approximativement 60 UF à 90 UF.
8.2.6 Remplir la burette (6.1.1) avec de l’eau à 30 °C. Le temps d’écoulement de 0 ml à 225 ml ou de 0 ml
à 37,5 ml, respectivement, ne doit pas être supérieur à 20 s.
8.3 Prise d’essai
Porter, si nécessaire, la température de la farine entre 25 °C et 30 °C.
8.3.1 Mode opératoire avec une masse constante de farine
Peser (6.2), à 0,1 g près, l’équivalent de 300 g (pour un pétrin de 300 g) ou de 50 g (pour un pétrin de
50 g) de farine ayant une teneur en eau de 14 % (en fraction massique). Soit, m, cette masse, en grammes.

Remplir la burette (6.1.1) avec de l’eau à température ambiante. Mettre en marche le pétrin et
l’enregistreur, puis au bout de 1 min, ajouter le volume d’eau calculé à la farine. Dans ce cas, la consistance
maximale de la pâte sera de (500 ± 20) UF.
NOTE La Référence [1] donne W en fonction de m, calculés selon l’Équation (1) avec le grand ou le petit
a
pétrin, respectivement (pour une plage d’absorption d’eau de 54 % à 77 %).
8.4 Règles communes pour la détermination
Pour les étapes du mode opératoire non spécifiées dans la présente partie de l’ISO 5530, suivre les
instructions du fabricant.
8.4.1 Pétrir à la fréquence de rotation spécifiée pendant 1 min ou un peu plus. Commencer à verser l’eau
de la burette dans l’angle avant-droit du pétrin, en 25 s maximum, au moment où une ligne des minutes
du papier enregistreur passe devant la plume.
NOTE Afin de réduire le temps d’attente, le papier enregistreur peut être avancé pendant le pétrissage de la
farine. Ne pas le déplacer en arrière.
Verser un volume d’eau voisin de celui que l’on peut prévoir pour obtenir une consistance maximale (9.2)
de 500 UF. Lorsque la pâte se forme, racler à l’aide de la spatule (6.3) les parois du pétrin en incorporant
à la pâte toute particule adhérente aux parois, sans arrêter le pétrin. Si la consistance de la pâte est trop
élevée, ajouter un peu plus d’eau pour obtenir une consistance maximale d’environ 500 UF. Arrêter le
pétrissage et nettoyer le pétrin.
8.4.2 Effectuer des pétrissages complémentaires selon les besoins, jusqu’à obtention de deux
pétrissages pour lesquels
— l’addition d’eau a été faite en 25 s,
— les consistances maximales sont comprises entre 480 UF et 520 UF, et
— les enregistrements ont été poursuivis pendant un temps suffisant pour calculer toutes les valeurs
indiquées pour la méthode choisie.
Arrêter le pétrissage et nettoyer le pétrin.
9 Évaluation du farinogramme et calcul des caractéristiques rhéologiques obtenues
9.1 Généralités
Deux déterminations doivent être réalisées sur chaque éprouvette. Lire directement ou calculer les
valeurs de chaque caractéristique rhéologique à déterminer à partir des deux farinogrammes. Exprimer
les résultats sous forme de valeur moyenne des données correspondantes.
NOTE Pour faciliter les calculs, on peut utiliser un ordinateur. Le farinographe doit alors être modifié par
l’ajout d’une sortie électrique pour le transfert des données.
9.2 Absorption d’eau de la farine
Pour obtenir l’absorption d’eau de la farine (voir 3.4), à partir de chacun des pétrissages ayant des
consistances maximales (voir 3.3) comprises entre 480 UF et 520 UF, calculer, en millilitres, le volume
corrigé, V , d’eau correspondant à une consistance maximale de 500 UF, au moyen des Équations (3) et (4):
c

V = V + 0,096 (C – 500)

ISO 5530-1:2013(F)

b) pour un pétrin de 50 g:
V = V + 0,016 (C – 500)

V est volume d’eau ajouté, en millilitres;
C est la consistance maximale, en unités farinographiques (voir Figure 1), donnée par:

C =

c est la hauteur maximale du bord supérieur de la courbe, en unités farinographiques;
1
c est la hauteur maximale du bord inférieur de la courbe, en unités farinographiques.
2
NOTE Dans le cas relativement rare où deux maxima sont observés, prendre la hauteur du maximum le plus élevé.
Prendre pour le calcul la valeur moyenne de deux déterminations de V , si la différence entre celles-ci ne
c
dépasse pas 2,5 ml (pour un pétrin de 300 g) ou 0,5 ml (pour un pétrin de 50 g) d’eau.
L’absorption d’eau, W , exprimée en millilitres pour 100 g de farine à 14 % (fraction massique) de teneur
a
en eau, est égale à:
— pour un pétrin de 300 g:
WV=+m−300 ×0,333 (5)
()

— pour un pétrin de 50 g:
WV=+m−50 ×2 (6)

pondant à une consistance maximale de 500 UF;
m est la masse, en grammes, de la prise d’essai donnée par le Tableau 1.
Exprimer le résultat à 0,1 ml près pour 100 g.
9.3 Caractéristiques liées à la consistance de la pâte
La consistance (voir 3.1) est une caractéristique de la pâte qui varie en permanence, dont le
farinogramme est le reflet. L’évaluation de la courbe peut être réalisée de différentes manières. À partir
du farinogramme, les caractéristiques suivantes peuvent être déterminées:
— absorption d’eau de la farine (voir 3.4);
— temps de développement de la pâte (TDP) (voir 3.5);
— stabilité de la pâte (voir 3.6);
— degré d’affaiblissement (voir 3.7);

— indice de qualité du farinographe (IQF) (voir 3.9).
NOTE 1 Il existe également d’autres définitions de certaines de ces caractéristiques (elles sont indiquées
[2] [5]
dans la Méthode AACCI 54-21.02 et Nieman ), mais elles ne peuvent pas être comparées aux caractéristiques
définies dans la présente partie de l’ISO 5530.
Avec des logiciels appropriés, un ordinateur peut évaluer et consigner les caractéristiques requises les
[7]
plus fréquentes énumérées ci-dessus.
NOTE 2 L’indice de qualité du farinographe (IQF) peut être indiqué en même temps ou à la place de la stabilité
et du degré d’affaiblissement. Le remplacement des indications de stabilité et de degré d’affaiblissement par
l’IQF entraîne un raccourcissement du temps total de pétrissage, notamment pour les pâtes à base de farines à
consistance plus faible. Il existe une bonne corrélation entre l’indice de qualité et la stabilité d’une part, et entre
l’indice de qualité et le degré d’affaiblissement d’autre part.
Un farinogramme représentatif démontrant les caractéristiques couramment mesurées en matière de
consistance de la pâte est illustré à la Figure 1. Voir des exemples de types de farinogrammes dans
l’Annexe B.
