We did a debranning research using two different wheat kernels; called GK Fény ('with soft kernel hardness), and GK Békés (with hard kernel hardness) in different water content. We used the varieties of Szegedi Gabonakutato Nonprofit Kft. (Cereal Research Non-Profit LTD., Szeged) as samples. The aim of our work was to demonstrate and compare the changes in parameter of wheat kernels such as Hardness Index as the function of debraning times. To the debranning we used PeriTec technology. We modelled the PeriTec technology with a laboratory size, batch-operating, horizontal debranning machine by SATAKE. Debranned grain samples were used to identify the Hardness Index (HI) by SKCS-4100 instrument (Perten Inc.). Our result: longer debranning times caused a decrease in kernel hardness. We found strong correlation between these parameters. The Hardess Index of GK Békés (tempered -15 % water content) decreased 76 to 73 and the Hardness Index of GK Fény (tempered -15 % water content) decreased 32 to 19. The Hardess Index of GK Békés (air dry - untempered) decreased 71 to 68 and the Hardness Index of GK Fény (air dry - untempered ) decreased 31 to 22. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
