Results
• Thousand kernel weight is the weight in grams of 1,000
kernels of wheat.
• This method is used to estimate kernel mass.
• This measurement also may be determined using the
Single Kernel Characterization System.
Why is this important?
Thousand kernel weight (TKW), as a method, measures
the mass of the wheat kernel. It is used by wheat breeders
and flour millers as a complement to test weight to better
describe wheat kernel composition and potential flour extraction.
Generally speaking, wheat with a higher TKW can be
expected to have a greater potential flour extraction.
