In addition to our current pulse and oilseed market development programs, I am looking forward to working with wheat, corn, oat, barley grains, and developing new short courses.” Experience. Tulbek’s experience includes over 10 years of research and process development experience in pulse, oilseed, and wheat quality and processing. He has conducted research on characterization of fermented chickpea in dough and bread systems; evaluation of physical, chemical, microbiological, and sensory properties of roasted flaxseed, evaluation of roasted North Dakota durum wheat quality; and evaluation of North Dakota dry pea quality. He also has worked with the development and characterization of pre-cooked dry pea flour, navy and pinto bean snacks fortified with milled flaxseed, and the utilization of commercial Turkish wheat flours in Asian noodle making. Bookkeeper Sy McElvain FGIS Issues Guidance on Inspecting Flood-Damaged Grain In the wake of extensive Midwest flooding in the late spring and early summer, the Grain Inspection, Packers and Stockyards Administration’s Federal Grain Inspection Service (FGIS) on June 30 issued a guidance for grading and certifying flood damaged grain. Kernels that are materially damaged by flooding are considered as damaged kernels and count toward the total percentage of damaged kernels in the sample. The determination of distinctly low quality (DLQ) is based on the appearance and condition of the lot or sample as a whole. Grain materially affected by flooding is considered as DLQ and certified as U.S. Sample Grade. Additionally, official grain inspectors must report identifiable lots that are DLQ to the district office of the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) as “actionable.” For more information, contact the FGIS Policies and Procedures Branch at 202-720-0224. Questions concerning grading guidelines may be directed to the FGIS Board of Appeals and Review at 816-891-0418.
