OBJECTIVES Compare glycaemic response of foods prepared with finger millet flour, using traditional stone grinding and industrial milling. DESIGN Crossover study. PARTICIPANTS Healthy volunteers (n=11) consisting of five males and six females), aged between 20 and 30 years, with a body mass index of 18.5-23.5 Kgm-2. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES Blood glucose concentration was measured at fasting...

Polypropylene/wood flour composites were melting compounded in an internal mixer at 190°C and 60 rpm rotor speed and then samples were fabricated by injection molding. Effects wood flour content on the physical properties of composites was investigated. For this purpose, hardness, water absorption and thickness swelling of samples was determined at different levels of wood flour content. The re...

The effect of wheat flour extraction rates on flour composition, farinographic characteristics and the quality of sourdough naans was investigated. The results indicated that by increasing the extraction rate, the amount of protein, fiber, fat and ash increased, whereas moisture content decreased. Farinographic characteristic like water absorption and dough development time increased with an in...

Consumption of unrefined whole flour is thought to affect mineral bioavailability because it contains high levels of fibre and phytic acid. The present experiment was designed to study the absorption of minerals from diets based on wholewheat flour and white wheat flour in rats. Two groups of male Wistar rats were fed on the diets for 3 weeks and absorption and tissue retention of minerals were...

Anecdotal evidence identified a change in the reaction of the resistant lentil cv Nipper to ascochyta blight in South Australia in 2010 and subsequent seasons, leading to infection. This study investigated field reactions of lentil cultivars against Ascochyta lentis and the pathogenic variability of the A. lentis population in southern Australia on commonly grown cultivars and on parental germp...

Wheat grain and its products are widely consumed as fodder and basic daily food stuffs in Kyrgyzstan. Mycobiota is known to produce hazardous effects to a consumer since it produces mycotoxins. Henceforth, mycobiota starting from the field stage to flour, grain and flour samples were selected for mycological analysis from eight sites of flour manufacture: grain stored in storehouses before mill...

Potassium methyl siliconate (PMS) was investigated as a new nano modifier of wood fiber and wood flour to improve the compatibility between the fiber/flour and the plastic matrix in fiber reinforced plastic composites. Before injection molding, bleached and brown pulp fibers and mixed species wood flour were pretreated in PMS solutions. The morphology of the treated and untreated fiber and flou...

The objective of this study was to determine the standardized ileal digestibility (SID) protein and amino acids (AA) calculate digestible indispensable AA score (DIAAS) three varieties Canadian grown pulses (faba bean, lentil, yellow pea). Three steam-pelleted (80 °C) diets (faba/lentil/pea; 40% inclusion) a nitrogen-free diet were fed eight cannulated growing pigs in 4 × replicated Latin squar...

in order to evaluate the comparison of different intercropping patterns of cumin (cuminum cyminum l. ) with lentil (lens culinaris l.) in double crop, a field experiment was conducted based on a randomized complete block design with three replications and eight treatment at the farm located in west azerbaijan province - city nagadeh, iran during growing reason of 2011-2012. treatments included ...
