Indian StandardSPECIFICATION FOR

WHEAT ATTA

( Second Revision)

o. FORE WOR D

0.1 This Indian Standard ( Second Revision) was adopted by the IndianStandards Institution on 2 April 1968, after the draft finalized by theProcessed Cereals and Pulses Sectional Committee had been approved bythe Agricultural and Food Products Division Council.

0.2 Wheat A TTA, popularly known in English as C wheat meal ' as distinctfrom MAIDA (see IS : 1009-1968· ), contains bran as well, though thelarger particles of bran are preferably sifted out. Practically all the greatbulk of ATTA consumed in rural areas in India is produced by grindingwheat in stone mills worked either by hand or by animals. In urbanareas, it is produced largely in mechanically operated stone mills and inroller flour mills. This standard is, therefore, intended to cover alltypes of wheat A TT.A. whether produced in stone mills or in roller flourmills.

0.3 The Sectional Committee responsible for the preparation of thisstandard took into consideration the available data on the composition ofwheat ATTA manufactured from different varieties of wheat produced invarious parts of India and imported fz:om abroad. In.addition to this, dueconsideration has also been given to the relevant rules prescribed by theGovernment of India under die Pr,vention of Food Adulteration Act, 1954.This standard is, however, subject to the restrictions imposed underthat Act, wherever applicable.

0.4 The C Indian Standard specification for ATTA t was first published in1957. In 1965 it was revised to include ,two grades of .If TTA .besidesincorporating modifications in the requirement for crude fibre content.Since then, the position in the supply of wheat has changed considerablyand compulsory washing of wheat before milling has b~en introduced inthe country. The limit for moisture content of A TTA has, therefore, beenraised and the requirement for acidity has been deleted. The limits ofacid insoluble ash and alcoholic acidity have also been revised. Besides,the method of determination of gluten content ( SI' Appendix D ) has been

.SpecificatiOD £01' MMDA ( "p;..,tl).

revised. The reference to 'fortification' has been deleted as thecommittee felt that fortified ATTA is not being manufactured in thecountry at present.

0.5 This standard is one of a series of Indian Standard specifications forwheat products. Other specifications published so far in the series are:

IS : 1009·1968 MAIDA (revised)IS : 1010.1968 SUIlor RA. VA (semolina) ("vised)

0.6 This standard contains clauses ( see 4.1.1 and 4.1.2 ) which call for anagreement between the purchaser and the vendor.

0.7 For the purpose of deciding whether a particular requirement of thisstandard is complied with, the final value, observed or calculated, express­ing the result of a test or analysis, shall be rounded off in accordance withIS : 2-1960·. The number of significant places retained in the roundedoff value should be the same as that of the specified value in this atandard.

1. SCOPE

1.1 This standard prescribes the requirements and the methods of test forwheat ATTA..

2. GRADES

2.1 The material shall be of two grades, namely, Low Gluten (LG) andHigh Gluten ( HG ).

3. REQ,UIR.EMENTS

3.1 De8criptioD - The material shall be obtained by milling sound andclean wheat. I t shall be in the form of powder having a characteristictaste and flavour. It shall be free from rancidity, insect, rodent or fungusInfestation. It shall also be free from fermented,. musty or other objection­able odour. It shall not have adulterants and other extraneous matter.

NOTE - The appearance, taste and odour shall be detennined by orsano1eptic teats.

3.2 Microscopic Appearance - When the material is subjected tomicroscopic examination, the starch granules shall have the characteristicappearance as shown in the photomicrograph reproduced in Fig. I,revealing concentric rings and more slnall granules than large ones.

3.3 The material shall be manufactured in premises using equipmentmaintained under hygienic conditions (see IS : 2491.1963t ).
