Harinograph H1 from Erkaya Instrument
A harinograph is an instrument used in the milling and baking industry to evaluate the water absorption capacity and mixing properties of flour.
It’s essentially a specialized type of farinograph, designed mainly for flour testing. The device measures how much water the flour can take up to form a dough of standard consistency, and it provides information about:
-
Water absorption (%) → how much water is needed for dough formation.
-
Dough consistency and stability → how long the dough maintains its structure under mixing.
-
Protein quality (gluten strength) → indirectly assessed from resistance and development time.
📊 Why it matters:
-
For millers → ensures consistent flour quality.
-
For bakers → predicts dough handling, bread volume, and texture.
-
For food scientists → helps classify wheat varieties by baking potential.
