The NaOH test is essential for anyone who handles Hard White wheat. After approximately 10 minutes in the heated NaOH solution, Hard Red Winter wheat will change to a dark red-brown color. Hard White wheat will turn yellow, making it easier to pick out the number of red kernels in a white sample, or vice versa. Although it takes some time to set up before conducting the first test, the testing time is only about 10 - 15 minutes.
