Reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography, coupled with coulometric electrochemical detection, was successfully applied for the quantification of added folic acid (FA) in fortified fruit juices and cereal products. The method allowed good separation of the 5-HCO-H(4) folate and folic acid in cereal samples. The retention times of vitamins were repeatedly determined by isocratic elut...

An efficient protocol for the selective oxidation of primary alcohols to aldehydes withH5IO6/V2O5 in ionic liquid [bmpy][PF6] has been developed. High yields of the products, mildreaction conditions and simple experimental procedure make this protocol complementary tothe existing methods. The catalyst can be reused for several times without obvious loss of thecatalytic activity.

The objectives of this study were to determine the effects of feeding rapeseed (27%, DM basis) and sunflower biodiesel by-products as protein supplements on fatty acid composition (FA), profile (ratios and indices),enzyme activitiesfrom thecarcassin lambs fed cereal-based diets. Simultaneously, itwas examined the relationship between ingested FA and carcass FA. Samples were obtaine dfrommal efa...

Prima facie evidence is presented that, where naturally occuring chromium in water supplies occurs, it is associated with a lower prevalence of diabetes and a lower incidence of mortality from vascular occlusive disease. It is postulated that increased prevalence of such disease in a population is associated with chromium 3 deprivation. This results from con­ sumption of highly refined cereal f...

BACKGROUND Waxy-grain sorghum is used in most of the commercial cereal products in Korea. Worldwide, three waxy mutant alleles have been identified in the sorghum germplasm, and DNA markers for these alleles have been developed to identify the waxy genotype. However, that detection method cannot be used to determine the proportion of waxy content in samples containing both waxy and non-waxy sor...

terminal drought stress during grain filling period has recently become more common in the semiarid mediterranean regions, where wheat (triticum aestivum) is grown as an important winter cereal crop. the objective of this experiment was to study the effect of terminal drought stress on grain yield, gas exchange variables, and some physiological traits of nine bread wheat cultivars. an experimen...

Glucosylisomaltol is proposed as a new indicator of the browning reaction in baby cereals and bread. The glucosylisomaltol was synthesized from maltose and proline, purified by semipreparative HPLC, and characterized by NMR, high-resolution mass spectrometry, and GC-MS analysis. Analysis of glucosylisomaltol, previously separated from cereals by centrifugation, was carried out by reversed-phase...
