The main objective of this study was to eliminate the hemagglutination activity of an antinutritional factor in soybeans, soybean agglutinin (SBA). A series of experiments was designed to enzymatically modify SBA structure and to use other physical treatments to reduce activity. SBA extract was prepared from soy flour and used as the substrate for all treatments. Deglycosylation by enzyme decre...

BACKGROUND The aim of this paper was to investigate whether a statistical model could be developed to estimate a "threshold" dose for foods eliciting allergic reactions in susceptible patients. The threshold dose is defined to be one that elicits allergic reactions in a given (small) proportion of susceptible patients, using data from published studies. METHODS Based on data available from th...

The study was carried out in order to find out the effect of substitution of wheat flour with sweet potato flour of two local varieties (Local Sada and Local Lal) on the quality of bread. This study was also concerned with the analysis of proximate compositions of sweet potato and results showed that, fresh local sada and local lal sweet potato varieties contained moisture 70.10 and 66.78%; ash...

Soy sauce with a high salt liquid-state fermentation process was prepared by using organic soy beans as raw material. Beidahuang organic soy bean was selected among different raw materials. Here, the best technique was determined. Firstly, the organic soy beans were soaked for 7 hours under 121°C , steamed for 15 min and mixed with the fried wheat (5:5, w/w). After inoculated with Aspergillus o...

The acha (Digitaria exile staff) grain was washed (tap water), sun dried, milled and sieved (400mn sieve aperture) to produce acha flour. The beniseed(Sesamum indicum) seeds were sorted, washed, sun dried, milled, defatted (using ethanol), dried and sieved (400mn sieve aperture) to produce beniseed flour. The defatted beniseed flour was substituted into the acha flour at 0-20% to produce benise...

For the effective development of poultry farming in Kazakhstan, it is necessary to overcome a number constraining factors, one which insufficient modern safety control system throughout meat production chain. The article develops flowchart semi-finished product process based on meat-broiler with soy flour, examines possible risks (hazards) for management measures products, identifies three crit...

spaghetti samples were prepared by replacing wheat flour with defatted soy flour (dsf) at 0, 10, and 20% levels (w/w). each sample had 4% gluten. in addition, xanthan gum was added at three levels (0.0, 0.2, and 0.4%) to spaghetti dough containing 20% soy flour as a modifying agent. samples were extruded at 35 or 50oc and dried at, respectively, 52oc for 21h or 72oc for 6 hours. the color, prot...
