The Cosmetic Ingredient Review (CIR) Expert Panel reviewed the product use, formulation and safety data on hydrolyzed wheat protein and hydrolyzed wheat gluten, which function as skin and hair conditioning agents. The Panel determined that data from clinical and laboratory studies was sufficient to demonstrate that these ingredients will not elicit Type 1 immediate hypersensitivity reactions in...

Rice (Oryza sativa L.) is a primary global food cereal. However, when compared to wheat, rice has poor food processing qualities. Dough that is made from rice flour has low viscoelasticity because rice seed lacks storage proteins that are comparable to gluten protein from wheat. Thus, current research efforts aim to improve rice flour processing qualities through the transgenic expression of vi...

an experiment was conducted to study the effects of enzyme and phytogenic product (thymol+carvacrol) on the ileal microbial population and jejuna and ileal histomorphology of broilers fed wheat based diet. the experiment was conducted as a 2 × 3 factorial arrangement with 2 levels of enzyme endofeed w (0 and 0.05%) and 3 levels of next enhance 150® (0, 100 and 200 mg/kg). each of the 6 dietary ...

Current wheat yield and consumption is considered in the context of the historical development of wheat, from early domestication through to modern plant breeding, the Green Revolution and wheat's place as one of the world's most productive and important crops in the 21st Century. The need for further improvement in the yield potential of wheat in order to meet current and impending challenges ...

The addition of O-linked N-acetylglucosamine (GlcNAc) to the major nuclear pore complex glycoprotein p62 was examined. Expression of the rat p62 cDNA in transfected monkey cells was detected using a rat p62-specific antipeptide antiserum and two previously described nuclear pore-specific monoclonal antibodies which require O-linked GlcNAc for binding. Although the p62 cDNA was predicted to enco...

The reactions were performed to synthesize carbon materials using wheat straw powder as raw material. The wheat straw powder was first hydrolyzed at the absence of a catalyst at 190 °C for 1 h, then the hydrolyzate solution was used as carbon source to prepare carbon materials via hydrothermal carbonization at 180 °C in the absence of a catalyst for 8 h. The influence of solid-liquid-ratio of w...

Nitrogen is one of the most important agricultural inputs affecting crop growth, yield and quality in rain-fed cereal production. In this study an image processing based approach was used for detection of nitrogen status in winter wheat. Four N fertilization rates (0, 60, 120 and 240 kg N ha, in total) and two water regimes (irrigated and non-irrigated) were applied to winter wheat. Digital ima...
