The California Mastitis Test has previously been adapted for use in an inline, cow-side sensor and relies on the fact that the viscosity of the gel formed during the test is proportional to the somatic cell concentration. In this paper, the use of capillary and rotational viscometry was compared in light of the expected rheology of the gel formed during the test. It was found that the gel is no...

The consequences of addition of 1 % (w/w) glutenin of selected commercial wheat varieties, differing in their quantitative and qualitative gluten profile, to the base flour were investigated. The study was accomplished by employing an advanced 4 g bowl of MicrodoughLab (MDL). The elementary torque-time functions such as peak resistance,dough development time, dough stability, softening and ener...

High-molecular-weight glutenin subunits (HMW-GS) composition was analyzed by sodium-dodecyl-sulfatpolyacrilamid-gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE), while the quantitative determination of total HMW-GS was obtained by reversed phasehigh performance liquid chromatography (RP-HPLC). Considering HMW-GS composition, the most frequent subunits at Glu-A1 locus were N, at Glu-B1 locus 7+9 and at Glu-D1 loc...

Purpose: Vitamin D, a fat-soluble secosteroid, has a significant role in bone metabolism and helps calcium absorption in the body. Since vitamin D concentration is altered in fortified foods and dietary supplements, the actual amount of vitamin D may differ from the label value. Methods: In this study, the concentrations of vitamin D2 and D3 of fortified bread sample were analytically determine...

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...

"Elasticity" in bakery is a sensory perception that is felt when the dough is rapidly stretched and released. Elasticity is good when the dough contracts rapidly to approximately its original shape. In another test the baker tries to stretch the dough into a thin membrane (Fig. 82). The formation of membranes with no fissures is attributed to good gluten quality 14 The Role of Gluten Elasticity...

the motivation for this work is to propose a first thorough review of dough rheological models used in numerical applications. although many models have been developed to describe dough rheological characteristics, few of them are employed by researchers in numerical applications. this article reviews them in detail and attempts to provide new insight into the use of dough rheological models.

Deformability modulus, hardness, cohesiveness and adhesiveness of cassava dough reconstituted from precooked flour were evaluated using a lubricated compression test and texture profile analysis. Cassava parenchyma processed under different cooking conditions and left at either -5oC or -20oC for 24 h was used to make flour, which was reconstituted into dough. As temperature decreased to -20oC d...

Rice is predominantly a starch richendosperm portionof paddy (Oryza sativa). It is an important cereal used as staple food by over half of the world population. About 90% of dry matter of milled rice is starch and the rest are non-starch components like protein, lipids and ash. Most of the rice based products in Indian sub continent especially in southern part of India are made from rice flour ...
