In a method for assessing the quality of cereals, a dough containing the type of cereal which is to be assessed is deformed. Subsequently the dough is let relax. During the relaxing the stress in the dough is measured. On the basis of the stress, one or more relaxing parameters are determined which are used in a predetermined calculation model for assessing the quality. In the calculation model, mixing parameters, which are determined during the deformation, can also be used. A new such parameter which correlates well with cereal quality is the build-up parameter, which is determined on the basis of the difference in the stress in the dough when it has absorbed all the liquid which is added in preparing the dough and the maximum stress in the dough during the deformation. An apparatus for quality assessment is also disclosed.

Dans le cadre de ce procédé permettant de déterminer la qualité de céréales, une pâte contenant le type de céréales dont la qualité est à évaluer est déformée. On laisse ensuite cette pâte se reposer. On mesure, lors de cette phase, la contrainte de la pâte et, en fonction de cette contrainte, on définit des paramètres de repos utilisés dans un modèle de calcul prédéterminé pour évaluer la qualité. On peut également faire intervenir dans le modèle de calcul des paramètres de mélangeage, établis durant la phase de déformation. Ce nouveau paramètre, bien en rapport avec la qualité des céréales, est le paramètre de développement, défini d'après la différence entre la contrainte existant dans la pâte, une fois qu'elle a absorbé tout le liquide ajouté lors de sa préparation, et la contrainte maximale existant dans la pâte pendant la phase de déformation. L'invention concerne également un appareil permettant de procéder à cette évaluation de la qualité.
