A single-session procedure to assess an individual's most preferred level of a factor in a product is justified theoretically and illustrated by the results for salt concentration in samples of bread and tomato soup tested on 30 young men who had had no previous experience of the task. Each man rated the saltiness of each sample as a distance below or above his ideal for that food type. Without...

BACKGROUND Dietary fibers have been proposed to play a role in cardiovascular risk as well as body weight management. Flaxseeds are a good source of dietary fibers, and a large proportion of these are water-soluble viscous fibers. METHOD Here, we examine the effect of flaxseed dietary fibers in different food matrices on blood lipids and fecal excretion of fat and energy in a double-blind ran...

Background and Objectives: Flat breads are the most consumed bread in Iran. Barbari one of the popular ones, is traditional flat leavened Iranian bread and one of the most popular breads consumed in Iran and some other countries in the Middle East. Materials and Methods: The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of substitution of wheat flour by whole quinoa flour (0-15% substitution) a...

The effect of wheat flour refined milling on nutritional and antioxidant quality of hard and soft grown in Ethiopia was evaluated. Bread was prepared with the supplementation of the white wheat flour with different levels (0%, 10%, 20%, and 25%) of wheat bran. Whole (100% extraction) and white wheat (68% extraction) flours were analyzed for proximates, minerals, and antioxidants. Results indica...

OBJECTIVE We compared the effects of different kinds of bread fermentation on mineral bioavailability. METHODS Wistar rats were fed one of the following experimental diets for 21 d: control, reconstituted whole wheat flour (white flour plus bran), yeast bread, and sourdough bread. The apparent mineral absorption and intestinal fermentation were measured in each animal. RESULTS Phytate conte...

Background: Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) are the leading cause of premature death in the 21st century. Dietary factors, such as high salt intake, are related to increased risk of CVDs{Akpolat, 2009 #21}. One of the main sources of dietary salt is bread. On the other hand, salt content is a quality indicator of bread. Therefore, this study was conducted to evaluate the salt content in a variet...

a high performance liquid chromatographic method was developed for determination of aflatoxin b1 (afb1) in foods using a monolithic column with sample clean up on an immunoaffinity column. the method was validated for analysis of afb1 in rice, bread, puffed corn snack, wheat flour and peanut samples. the average recoveries for afb1 in different foods ranged from 94.4 to 102.5% with the coeffici...

BACKGROUND Many children do not eat enough whole grains, which may have negative health consequences. Intervention research is increasingly focusing on nudging as a way to influence food choices by affecting unconscious behavioural processes. The aim of this field study was to examine whether the shape of bread rolls is able to shift children's bread choices from white to whole wheat during bre...

We report the finding of the presence of carbon nanoparticles (CNPs) in different carbohydrate based food caramels, viz. bread, jaggery, sugar caramel, corn flakes and biscuits, where the preparation involves heating of the starting material. The CNPs were amorphous in nature; the particles were spherical having sizes in the range of 4-30 nm, depending upon the source of extraction. The results...
