Results We have demonstrated that boiling decrease solubility and IgE reactivity of PBS-extracted rice and wheat proteins, but in SDS-extracts this reactivity was only slightly affected. The sera of patients highly positive on the IgE immunoblot, positive in basophil activation and skin prick test with boiled rice components were used for characterizing the IgE-binding proteins separated by 1-D...

This study reports the protease production from Aspergillus tamarii using agroindustrial residues as substrate for solid-state fermentation (SSF) and biochemical characterization. The highest protease production was obtained using wheat bran as substrate at 72 h fermentation with maximum proteolytic activity of 401.42 U/mL, collagenase of 243.0 U/mL and keratinase of 19.1 U/mL. The protease exh...

In this experiment the effect of inoculation with Azospirillum on the flag leaf and spike rachis anatomical features and also on grain yield and grain weight was investigated for the first time in bread and durum wheats during 2015-2016 growing season under semi-arid condition. The crop yield increased due to the inoculation with Azospirillum with a maximum yield increase of about 8.0 per cent ...

BACKGROUND AND AIMS The ω-gliadin storage proteins of wheat are of interest in relation to their impact on grain processing properties and their role in food allergy, particularly the ω-5 sub-group and wheat-dependent exercise-induced anaphylaxis. The ω-gliadins are also known to be responsive to nitrogen application. This study therefore compares the effects of cultivar and nitrogen availabili...

Wheat (Triticum spp.), the staple food of approximately 50 countries, due to its appropriate nutritional value, storage and processing facilities, also providing 20% total calories provided by plant-based foods world population, has a relevant importance in security Turkey. yield, quality, growth are all affected environmental factors. Therefore, wheat production is climate factors such as seas...

We investigated the end processing and degradation of premature tRNAs in wheat germ extract (WGE), which led to the discovery of end protectors useful for stabilizing an in vitro transcript against various ribonucleases and thereby enhancing its apparent activity in WGE.

BACKGROUND Mannosylerythritol lipids (MEL) are glycolipids with unique biosurfactant properties and are produced by Pseudozyma spp. from different substrates, preferably vegetable oils, but also sugars, glycerol or hydrocarbons. However, solvent intensive downstream processing and the relatively high prices of raw materials currently used for MEL production are drawbacks in its sustainable comm...

Wet chemistry analyses done for quality control purposes in wheat and fl our processing are time-consuming. Near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) as an alternative technology to conventional methods allows us to obtain results in a few seconds. In this study, NIRS was used in the development of calibration models for protein, wet and dry gluten contents and Zeleny sedimentation of fl ours from the ...
