Wheat Quality Lab (WQL)

The Wheat Quality Lab (WQL) offers research services in the areas of baked product development, basic and applied research, and flour-based quality evaluation. The wheat and flour evaluations performed in the WQL play a critical role in the selection of improved wheat varieties being developed in the K-State Wheat Breeding Program. Wheat tests conducted in the WQL include ash, falling number, kernel size distribution, gluten (wet/dry), gluten index, moisture, protein, SKCS, test weight, and thousand kernel weight.
