1. Introduction of High-Speed Steel Roller Mills, 1. 고속 제분 롤러 밀의 도입

One of the most significant advancements in flour technology occurred in the 1950s with the introduction of high-speed steel roller mills. These mills replaced traditional stone grinding methods, enabling faster and more efficient processing of grains. High-speed steel roller mills produced finely milled flour with improved consistency and reduced nutrient loss during milling.

밀가루 기술에서 가장 중요한 발전 중 하나는 1950년대에 고속 강철 롤러 밀이 도입되면서 일어났습니다. 이 제분기는 전통적인 석재 제분 방식을 대체하여 곡물을 더 빠르고 효율적으로 가공할 수 있게 되었습니다. 고속 강철 롤러 제분기는 밀가루의 일관성을 개선하고 제분 중 영양 손실을 줄이면서 미세하게 분쇄된 밀가루를 생산했습니다.

 

2. Development of Enzyme Technology for Baking, 2. 제빵용 효소 기술 개발

In the 1960s, enzyme technology revolutionized the baking industry. Enzymes such as amylases, proteases, and lipases were introduced to enhance dough handling, improve texture, and extend the shelf life of baked goods. These enzymes allowed bakers to achieve better control over the fermentation and baking processes, resulting in high-quality and consistent products.

1960년대에 효소 기술은 제빵 산업에 혁명을 일으켰습니다. 아밀라아제, 프로테아제, 리파아제와 같은 효소가 도입되어 반죽 취급을 개선하고 식감을 향상하며 제빵 제품의 유통기한을 연장했습니다. 이러한 효소를 통해 제빵사는 발효 및 베이킹 공정을 더 잘 제어할 수 있게 되어 고품질의 일관된 제품을 생산할 수 있었습니다.

 

3. Fortification with Micronutrients, 3. 미량 영양소 강화

Starting in the mid-20th century, flour fortification programs were implemented in many countries to address nutrient deficiencies in the population. Essential vitamins and minerals, such as iron, folic acid, and niacin, were added to flour to improve public health. Fortification programs have been successful in reducing the incidence of nutritional deficiencies and improving overall health outcomes.

20세기 중반부터 많은 국가에서 인구의 영양 결핍 문제를 해결하기 위해 밀가루 강화 프로그램이 시행되었습니다. 철분, 엽산, 니아신과 같은 필수 비타민과 미네랄을 밀가루에 첨가하여 공중 보건을 개선했습니다. 강화 프로그램은 영양 결핍의 발생률을 낮추고 전반적인 건강 결과를 개선하는 데 성공했습니다.

 

4. Introduction of Instantized and Precooked Flours, 4. 인스턴트 및 미리 조리된 밀가루의 도입

In the 1970s, instantized and precooked flours gained popularity due to their convenience and time-saving qualities. Instantized flours, produced through a process of pre-gelatinization, dissolve easily in liquids, making them ideal for instant mixes and convenience foods. Precooked flours, obtained by partially cooking grains before milling, required less cooking time and allowed for the production of quick-cooking products.

1970년대에 인스턴트 및 사전 조리된 밀가루는 편리함과 시간 절약 특성으로 인해 인기를 얻었습니다. 사전 젤라틴화 과정을 거쳐 생산되는 인스턴트 밀가루는 액체에 쉽게 녹아 인스턴트 믹스 및 간편식에 이상적입니다. 제분하기 전에 곡물을 부분적으로 조리하여 얻은 프리쿡드 밀가루는 조리 시간이 짧고 빠른 조리 제품을 생산할 수 있습니다.

 

5. Innovations in Gluten-Free Flour Production, 5. 글루텐 프리 밀가루 생산의 혁신

The rise of gluten-free diets in recent years has led to significant innovations in gluten-free flour production. Alternative grains, such as rice, corn, and quinoa, have been milled and processed to create gluten-free flours suitable for individuals with celiac disease or gluten sensitivities. Improvements in milling techniques and ingredient blends have resulted in gluten-free flours that closely mimic the texture and functionality of traditional wheat flour.

최근 몇 년 동안 글루텐 프리 식단이 증가하면서 글루텐 프리 밀가루 생산에 상당한 혁신이 이루어졌습니다. 쌀, 옥수수, 퀴노아 등의 대체 곡물을 제분하고 가공하여 셀리악병이나 글루텐 민감성이 있는 사람에게 적합한 글루텐 프리 밀가루를 만들 수 있게 되었습니다. 제분 기술과 재료 배합의 개선으로 전통적인 밀가루의 식감과 기능성을 거의 모방한 글루텐 프리 밀가루가 탄생했습니다.

 

6. Advancements in Whole Grain Flour Processing, 6. 통곡물 밀가루 가공의 발전

As the health benefits of whole grains became more widely recognized, advancements in whole grain flour processing were made to preserve the nutritional integrity of the grains. Technologies such as debranning, which removes the outer bran layer without compromising the germ, and gentle milling methods have allowed for the production of whole grain flours with enhanced nutritional profiles and improved baking properties.

통곡물의 건강상의 이점이 널리 알려지면서 통곡물의 영양을 그대로 보존하기 위해 통곡물 밀가루 가공이 발전했습니다. 곡물의 배아를 손상시키지 않고 외부 밀기울 층을 제거하는 디브랜딩과 부드러운 제분 방법과 같은 기술을 통해 영양 프로필이 향상되고 제빵 특성이 개선된 통곡물 가루를 생산할 수 있게 되었습니다.

 

7. Introduction of Non-GMO and Organic Flours, 7. 비유전자 변형 및 유기농 밀가루의 도입

With increasing consumer demand for non-genetically modified organisms (GMOs) and organic products, the flour industry responded by developing non-GMO and organic flours. These flours are sourced from grains that are grown without synthetic pesticides, herbicides, or genetically modified techniques. The availability of non-GMO and organic flours provides consumers with more choices to align with their preferences for sustainable and natural food options.

유전자변형생물체(GMO) 및 유기농 제품에 대한 소비자 수요가 증가함에 따라 밀가루 업계는 Non-GMO 및 유기농 밀가루를 개발하여 이에 대응했습니다. 이러한 밀가루는 합성 살충제, 제초제 또는 유전자 변형 기술을 사용하지 않고 재배한 곡물에서 공급됩니다. 유전자 변형이 없는 밀가루와 유기농 밀가루의 출시로 소비자들은 지속 가능한 자연식품을 선호하는 기호에 맞춰 더 많은 선택권을 갖게 되었습니다.

 

8. Application of Nanotechnology in Flour Production, 8. 밀가루 생산에 나노기술 적용
