I mean does the wheat at it grains state and its processed stage remains the same?
Processing of wheat i.e. coat removal generally carried out by abrasive milling. Composition will change. Go through composition of refined wheat flour and whole wheat flour. Fiber will be reduced in refined wheat flour
Chemical composition of the whole wheat grain and its various parts (converted to percentages on a dry matter basis, moisture content 15%). Protein content calculated by Nx5.83 (JAHNSON and MATTERN, 1987)

Sorry about the format, I cannot edit it correctly in explorer
Process:
loss of 1-2% protein, protein composition change, starch damage, loss of cell wall materials, loss of minerals
Here is my holy bible of wheat:
