Key Programs and Services
The Wheat Marketing Center (WMC) exists on the technical crossroads of the international wheat industry, providing technical training and grower workshops, innovative research, product development, and crop quality testing services. WMC focuses on promoting U.S. wheat by demonstrating its quality and functionality in Asian noodles, crackers and biscuits, tortillas and flatbread, and other baked products. Pilot scale production lines (pictured above), state-of-the-art quality testing equipment, and rich technical expertise provide great value to our state wheat commission partners, wheat industry stakeholders, and millers and food manufacturers around the world.
This Week: November 27-December 3
This week the laboratories are busy with various proprietary projects. Later in the week, Operations Manager Liman Liu and some of the other technical team work on Japanese sponge cake baking and evaluations for the Wheat Quality Council (WQC). Part of the mission of the WQC is to evaluate the quality of soft wheat experimental lines and cultivars. This ongoing partnership is one example of how this organization works with Wheat Marketing Center and its continued work with soft wheats and end-product testing and evaluation.
