Abstract:
Kuskus is a pre-cooked and dried product
made of hard-wheat semolina, shaped by the agglomeration
of two or more semolina granules.
Its particle size ranges from 0.85 to 2.5 mm
mesh.
The above definition of kuskus states that the
final product is obtained through a process of
agglomeration. This means that the raw materials
must contain a certain amount of inherent
gluten in the form of gluten proteins, in order to
ensure optimum agglomeration during the production
process. Thus any milling products of
durum, hard wheat or soft wheat can be utilized,
either in the form of flour, middlings or semolinas.
