An awareness of haloarchaea has existed since ancient times, with published descriptions of “red waters” associated with salt mining, the “red heat” of salted hides, and the “reddening” of salted fish (Bass-Becking 1931; Kurlansky 2002). For a society without refrigeration, the economic impact of codfish deterioration garnered particular attention, with Farlow (1878) oft cited as the first to p...

Physicochemical, morphological, rheological characteristics and finite element modelling of wheat flour, rice starch gluten were studied in this work. The physicochemical analysis flour exhibited almost similar to without present. Rice contained higher value carbohydrate fibres compared starch. Likewise, interacted strongly with water oil due absorption, solubility absorption indices SEM images...

Gluten is a major component of some cereal and bakery product. Gluten can cause intestinal absorption problem especially to people who have celiac diseases. The aim of this research was to optimize a formulation of gluten free bread (GFB) based on rice flour. The target is to achieve high in volume and weight, but has minimum firmness value. A response surface methodology was used to analyze th...

Problem statement: Germinated rice has been recognized as a functional food and its health benefits. However, most related studies were on germinated brown rice but our previous study indicated that germination of rough rice was an effective method to obtain high concentrations of bioactive compounds. Germination time is one of the most important factors affecting the level of biochemical compo...

Duck meat sausages were prepared using 10% beef fat (FDS) and 10% hydrated cereal flours including rice (RDS), wheat, corn, millet, and barley to replace fat. Control duck sausages (DS) were also prepared only with duck meat and duck meat plus 10% beef fat. Results showed that protein and fat contents significantly decreased and total expressible fluid reduced with the addition of cereal flours...

Celiac disease is an autoimmune disease that affects the villi of the small intestine causing abdominal pain, gas, diarrhea, or bad absorption due to gluten intolerance. The only treatment for this disease consists of a lifelong gluten free diet; this is, celiac people cannot consume products containing gluten, such as wheat, barley, and rye, but they can use rice and corn. Thus, rice flour is ...

There is a great demand for safe and effective alternative fumigants to replace methyl bromide and other toxic fumigants for postharvest pest control. Nitric oxide, a common signal molecule in biological systems, was found to be effective and safe to control insects under ultralow oxygen conditions. Four insect species including western flower thrips, Frankliniella occidentalis (Pergande) (Thys...

Adhirasam is a cereal based, doughnut shaped, deep fried dessert consumed in the southern regions of India. The dough used to prepare adhirasam is fermented and contains rice flour and jaggery. The aim of the present study was to characterize the cultivable bacteria associated with this fermented dough and to identify a suitable starter culture for the production of quality adhirasam. In total,...
