CPSR
Applications
Bread and noodles made from CPSR have good quality and processability.
Bread Analysis
CPSR is great for various baked products such as breads, hearth breads, flat breads and crackers. It has good mixing and fermentation tolerance. Dough made using flour milled from CPSR has good handling properties during mixing and processing, along with strong elasticity and extensibility. It produces bread with good loaf volume and crumb structure.

Noodles Analysis
When used for noodle processing, CPSR allows for good processing quality resulting in a smooth and elastic dough. It is suitable for production of high-quality white salted and instant noodles resulting in exceptional texture. It can also be used for pasta production in markets that prefer pasta made from common (non-durum) wheat.
This year, fresh noodles produced using CPSR had excellent texture and good colour retention.

Advice from an Expert
ELAINE SOPIWNYK
Vice President of Technical Services
Despite challenging production conditions in 2021, CPRS quality continues to meet expectations for the class.
Consistent Milling Performance
Milling yields are typical of CRSR, with good test weight, high protein content and sound kernels.
Good Baking Quality
Strong gluten, with a balance of strength and extensibility ensures good processing, good fermentation tolerance and excellent loaf volumes.
Good Noodle Quality
Good processing resulting in fresh noodles with excellent textural properties and good colour retention

Everything We Grow Advances Global Nourishment
Canada is setting the standard for modern farming practices.
Clean, Consistent and Quality
Through modern farming practices, Canadian farmers can grow strong wheat varieties, use good farm management practices from planting to harvest and on-farm storage. Canada has a natural advantage when it comes to land, water and climate. Through strong science-based regulation from the Canadian Grain Commission (CGC), it sets the high standards for clean, consistent quality grains.
Innovation
Across the country, agriculture continues to make advancements in farming practices and crop production. Led by Cereals Canada and Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada, the National Wheat Research priorities have been developed. Through a unique national collaboration of farmers, federal and provincial governments, public research institutions, exporters and processors, this partnership between public and private sectors are committed to delivering innovation in the wheat sector.
Sustainability
Current farm management practices continue to provide a better and healthier farming environment than previous generations. Modern practices like conservation tillage (minimum or zero tillage) helps to capture or sequester carbon dioxide (CO2) from the atmosphere to slow or reverse atmospheric CO2 pollution to mitigate and reverse global warming keeping sustainability at the forefront of farming.
