The lack of digestibility of certain gluten proteins is essential in the development of celiac disease (CD). Gluten proteins are remarkably resistant to luminal and brush-border proteolysis owing to their high proline and glutamine content. Consequently, large fragments remain intact after digestion exerting toxic effects. Intestinal brush-border membrane vesicles (BBMV) have been described as ...

Flatbreads are increasingly attracting consumers, driving them to new eating ways. To define and evaluate the nutritional intake provided by these products, flatbreads market of seven Mediterranean countries (France, Spain, Italy, Croatia, Greece, Malta, Lebanon) were considered. available in both traditional gluten-free versions, single doble layer variety. Wheat flour was primary ingredient t...

Low-gluten rice cultivar D105 was grown in the field under five nitrogen (N) treatments (N0: 0, N90: 90, N135: 135, N180: 180, and N225: 225 kg·hm?2) to investigate effect of N application rate on yield resulting dynamic changes protein content, grain processing quality, relative content each component protein. The results indicated that number effective panicles, seed setting rate, solid grain...

BACKGROUND AND AIMS Gluten proteins are the major storage protein fraction in the mature wheat grain. They are restricted to the starchy endosperm, which forms white flour on milling, and interact during grain development to form large polymers which form a continuous proteinaceous network when flour is mixed with water to give dough. This network confers viscosity and elasticity to the dough, ...

Cereal Chem. 70(l):77-80 Soft white wheat flours from varied growing conditions were analyzed However, when the correction for protein content was not taken into for selected variables of gluten and components of flour lipid to identify account, total protein was shown to be negatively correlated with cookie those that are associated with baking quality as measured by cookie diameter. Among the...

Wheat, pretreated by 60Co gamma irradiation, was dried by hot-air with irradiation dosage 0-3 kGy, drying temperature 40-60 °C, and initial moisture contents 19-25% (drying basis). The drying characteristics and dried qualities of wheat were evaluated based on drying time, average dehydration rate, wet gluten content (WGC), moisture content of wet gluten (MCWG)and titratable acidity (TA). A qua...

Introduction: Gluten is a protein found in grains.  Research has shown that the gluten that is in grains of wheat, barley, rye, and oats (to a lesser degree) is toxic to many individuals.  While gluten is essential for the make-up of these 4 grains, our bodies do not need it. Is it healthful?  The protein in today’s wheat is poorly digested and can be harmful.  An estimated 95% of prepared fo...

Partially digested gluten fragments from grains including wheat, rye, spelt and barley are responsible for triggering an inflammatory response in the intestinal tract of Celiac Disease (CD) Non-Celiac Gluten Sensitive (NCGS) individuals. Fermentation is effective method to metabolize gluten, with enzymes bacterial or fungal species being released help this process. However, levels commercially ...
