Falling numbers is a test that helps identify the structural integrity of the starch chains. To conduct the test, grind the grain into meal, add water, mix with a stirrer and add heat for 60 seconds. The falling number is the number of seconds it takes for the stirrer to fall to the bottom of the test tube. The longer it takes the stirrer to fall, the higher the quality of starch (longer chains).
