Description

The USDA, Agricultural Research Service, Grain Marketing and Production Research Center, Manhattan, Kansas, intends to enter into a single source contract with C. W. Brabender Instruments, South Hackensack, New Jersey, for the purchase of an Extensograph E for measuring and recording the quality of wheat flours in terms of stretching behavior of the dough, baking characteristics, influence of flour additives and rheological optimum. This equipment is used in several Federal and State research laboratories and commercial baking laboratories that test flour quality traits. It is critical that results generated are well correlated with results from other dough rheology instruments such as a Government-owned Farinograph E, which is used to prepare the sample dough needed for the Extensograph E. The physical dough test protocol for the extensograph method is AACC Method 54-10, which will be applicable in testing extensibility traits of wheat flour dough. Dough extensibility data from the Extensograph is important in many wheat importing countries and the information will be used by wheat breeders in the development and release of new varieties that meet export demands. *Provide Qualification Statement by Close of Business August 8, 2005, if interested in this procurement.
