Poor micronutrient intakes are a major contributing factor to the high burden of micronutrient deficiencies in Côte d'Ivoire. Large-scale food fortification is considered a cost-effective approach to deliver micronutrients, and fortification of salt (iodine), wheat flour (iron and folic acid), and vegetable oil (vitamin A) is mandatory in Côte d'Ivoire. A cross-sectional survey on households wi...

Wheat flour cannot be tolerated by those who suffer allergies to gluten. Human pathologies associated with grain proteins have increased worldwide in recent years, and the only effective treatment available is a lifelong gluten-free diet, which is complicated to follow and detrimental to gut health. This manuscript describes the development of wheat bread potentially suitable for celiac patient...

regarding the nutritional value and availability of acorns in west and southwest of iran, the effects of partial substitution of wheat flour with acorn flour was investigated. wheat flour was replaced by treated acorn flour in the formulation of sponge cake and the quality characteristics were evaluated. density of cakes was increased with increasing the acorn flour. as the substitution degree ...

A cross-sectional study was conducted among 393 workers from 21 bakeries to study the relationship between wheat allergen exposure and wheat sensitization and work-related allergic symptoms. Exposure to wheat allergens was characterized by a recently developed and validated immunoassay. Specific IgE antibodies against wheat flour and common allergens were measured by immunoassays, and work-rela...

the effect of host diet on developmental time, fecundity and life-table parameters of bracon hebetor (say) (hymenoptera: braconidae) against the mediterranean flour moth ephestia kuehniella (zeller) was studied in the laboratory condition at 26 ± 1 °c, 65 ± 5% relative humidity and a photoperiod of 16l:8d h. the diets used were rice, barley, corn and wheat flours. the developmental time (egg to...

Cereal Chem. 83(5):529–536 The accuracy of using near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) for predicting 186 grain, milling, flour, dough, and breadmaking quality parameters of 100 hard red winter (HRW) and 98 hard red spring (HRS) wheat and flour samples was evaluated. NIRS shows the potential for predicting protein content, moisture content, and flour color b* values with accuracies suitable for pro...

Food snack products were prepared by a combination of flour composition and ingredient recipes. A popular trend in replacing wheat flour with rice flour was proposed in the consumer food manufacturing industries for improvement in quality and nutritional value. The effect of variations in flour combination and sugar and fat replacers on the physical (texture and color) and chemical properties (...

the effect of different extraction rates (64%, 82% and 90%) of wheat flour on the rheological properties of the wheat flour dough was investigated. a complete study of the rheological behavior of the wheat flour dough was performed by using three different instruments namely alveograph, extensograph, and farinograph. the correlation coefficient among the various parameters of applied methods wa...

BACKGROUND The aim of the paper was to compare the food qualities of 2 varieties (SME 1 and 2) of high quality cassava flour (HQCF) produced from indigenous technology and that of some commercially sold wheat/HQCF samples. MATERIAL AND METHODS The pH, proximate, phytochemical, antioxidant, functional properties and starch yield of the flours were carried out using standard techniques. RESUL...

Cereal Chem. 66(3):224-227 A reconstituted whole wheat bread (containing 16.3% bran plus 12.7% was included in the baking process. Addition of a high level of enzymeshorts) with a loaf volume equal to the control was obtained by allowing active soy flour eliminated the need for the no-yeast sponge stage. Certain indigenous lipoxygenase (soaking the nonflour milling fractions) or added salts and...
