Celiac Sprue, or gluten-sensitive enteropathy, is an inheritable human disease of the small intestine that is triggered by the dietary intake of gluten. Recently, several Pro- and Gln-rich peptide sequences (most notably PQPQLPY and analogs) have been identified from gluten with potent immunogenic activity toward CD4(+) T cells from small intestinal biopsies of Celiac Sprue patients. These pept...

High molecular weight glutenin subunits (HMW-GSs) are important seed storage proteins in wheat (Triticum aestivum) that determine wheat dough elasticity and processing quality. Clarification of the defined effectiveness of HMW-GSs is very important to breeding efforts aimed at improving wheat quality. To date, there have no report on the expression silencing and quality effects of 1Bx20 and 1By...

The flag leaf can be an important vehicle for high grain yield due to its position and photosynthetic characteristics. To identify the most adaptive stable yielding genotype, three winter wheat genotypes were studied during two experimental years under field conditions quantify influence of removal in different phenological stages on quality. main components, was removed every 7 days, starting ...

Hydrolysis parameters (temperature, E/S ratio, pH, and time) for acid protease (from Aspergillus usamii) hydrolysis of wheat gluten were optimized by response surface methodology (RSM) using emulsifying activity index (EAI) as the response factor. A temperature of 48.9°C, E/S ratio of 1.60%, pH 3.0, hydrolysis time of 2.5 h was found to be the optimum condition to obtain wheat gluten hydrolysat...

Five commercial wheat varieties, namely C 306, HI 977, HW 2004, PBW 550 and WH 542 of diverse baking performances were examined for their physicochemical parameters, gluten quality and HMW-GS composition. All the varieties presented a broad spectrum of different quality parameters.Based on the kernel dimensions, thousand kernel weight and hectolitre weight, WH 542 was observed to have smaller a...

In this study, the physical (color, grain size, equivalent diameter, sphericity, kernel surface area, volume, thousand weight, hectoliter dry weight and wet weight), physicochemical (technological) (dry water absorption capacity, index, swelling gluten Zeleny sedimentation delayed sedimentation) chemical (moisture, protein contents) properties of most grown bread wheat varieties (Triticum aesti...

The study was carried out to evaluate the combining ability and heterosis of seven parents their 21 half-diallel F2 populations for yield quality traits during 2013-14 season in randomized complete block design with three replications. Significant differences were observed among genotypes, GCA (general ability) SCA (specific effects all traits, except spike length. best combiner identified as E...

Cereal Chem. 73(3):375-378 The effect of high-temperature short-time (HTST) applications on changes in the extrinsic fluorescence (8-aniline-l-naphthalene sulfonate gluten in its natural flour environment was investigated. Changes occur[ANS] binding) revealed enhanced surface hydrophobicity, which howring in HTST-treated samples during storage and in samples subjected to ever, regressed on stor...
