growing demand for wheat grain with optimal technological parameters results in looking for the possibilities of accurately meeting the plant needs. environmental conditions in the surroundings of germinating grains can be improved by application of humic preparations. qualitative features of grain can be also changed by foliar application of potassium, which is the activator of enzymes catalys...

BACKGROUND The only treatment for coeliac disease is lifelong adherence to a gluten-free diet. Several studies have reported nutritional deficiencies in individuals on a gluten-free diet. The present study aimed to determine whether the nutritional profile of gluten-free diet could be improved through the use of alternative grains. METHODS A retrospective review of diet history records by a c...

Cereal Chem. 76(1):96-99 A corn wet-milling process in which alkali was used was studied as an alternative to the conventional corn wet-milling procedure. In the alkali wet-milling process, corn was soaked in 2% NaOH at 85°C for 5 min and then debranned mechanically to obtain pericarp as a coproduct. Debranned corn was cracked in a roller mill, and the cracked corn was steeped with agitation fo...

Wheat storage proteins of twelve winter wheat cultivars grown at the experimental field of the Agricultural Institute Osijek in 2009 were studied for their contribution to the baking quality. Composition of high molecular weight glutenin subunits (HMW-GS) was analyzed by SDS-PAGE method, while the proportions of endosperm storage proteins were determined by RP-HPLC method. Regarding the proport...

Growing understanding of the relationship between nutrition and human health has led to an increase in consumption alternative crops, new cereal varieties foods with higher nutritional values. In this study we compared contents functional-technological properties spelt (Triticum spelta L.) bread wheat (T. aestivum whole-meal flours, obtained from genotypes grown at same field trial, their corre...

one of the most important forms of preharvest damage to wheat is caused by sunn pests. the insects insert their mouth parts into the immature grain and while injecting their saliva suck the milky juices. flour from damaged wheat results in low baking performance due to the bug proteolytic enzymes’ injected which cause the breakdown of gluten structure in the dough. in the present study three wh...

BACKGROUND In patients with treated celiac disease (CD), the ingestion of gluten traces contained in gluten-free (GF) wheat substitutes (eg, GF bread, flour, and pasta) could cause persisting intestinal mucosal damage. OBJECTIVE The objective was to evaluate the proportion of CD patients at risk of mucosal damage due to the consumption of GF products in 4 European countries (Italy, Spain, Ger...

Objective: Evaluate the effect of feeding corn grain and silage from Enogen (EC; Syngenta Seeds, LLC., Downers Grove, IL) or conventional (CON) in diets containing either wet distillers (WDG; ICM Biofuels, St. Joseph, MO) Sweet Bran [proprietary gluten feed (WCGF); Cargill Animal Nutrition, Blair, NE] on intake digestibility growing cattle.

In the April issue, GHFBB is publishing a number of papers that focuses on the clinical and immunohistochemical diagnosis of gluten-related disorders. Dietary intervention for example, has revolutionised the treatment of patients with disabling irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). Increasingly, we are discovering that a large proportion of diagnoses such as IBS present with food-related bowel sympto...
