introduction: a mixture of wheat flour, water, salt, yeast and other optional ingredients such as preservatives, enzymes, whey powder, surfactants, sugar, fibres and improvers form bread dough. enrichment of dough and bakery products by dietary fibres such as wheat bran and resistant starch, beta-glucans and inulin has been reported (peressini, & sensidoni, 2009; hager, ryan, schwab, gänzle, o’...

BACKGROUND Fortification offers great potential for reducing the enormous disease burden of micronutrient deficiencies. The lack of information on food consumption patterns has been a major impediment to the development of fortification programs. In some countries, the absence of this information has been an obstacle to the introduction of fortification. In countries that have fortification, go...

This study is aimed to assess the suitability of T. aestivum wheat milled products and its combinations with T. durum semolina with additives such as ascorbic acid, vital gluten and HPMC (Hydroxypropyl methyl cellulose) for pasta processing quality characteristics such as pasta dough rheology, microstructure, cooking quality, and sensory evaluation. Rheological studies showed maximum dough stab...

BACKGROUND Exposure to airborne wheat allergen is a well-known cause of bakers' allergy and asthma. Airborne wheat allergen can be measured by enzyme immunoassays (EIAs) in extracts of inhalable dust samples, but only limited knowledge is available on the size distribution of wheat allergen-carrying particles. Recently, a new sampling medium, porous polyurethane foam, has been introduced for th...

Whole grain wheat flour (WGWF) is the entire grain (bran, endosperm, and germ) milled to make flour. The WGWF of 31 Korean wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) cultivars were analyzed for the chemical compositions, and classified into groups by hierarchical cluster analysis (HCL). The average composition values showed a substantial variation among wheat varieties due to different wheat varieties. Wheat...

Cereal Chem. 69(5):542-546 The changes in rheological properties of a wheat flour dough due to the wheat flour dough were clearly influenced both by the type of the addition of enzymes were measured. The dough, made of flour of a-amylase and by mixing protease with the a-amylase. The presence of standard baking quality, was characterized by oscillatory measurements a-amylases caused a decrease ...

Results A 28 year-old female with a history of persistent allergic rhinitis and Arterial Tortuosity Syndrome had two episodes of anaphylaxis following a meal. In each instance she had ingested food cooked in batter. Skin prick tests to all foods ingested during the meals, including commercial wheat extract, were negative. Skin prick testing to wheat flour, white flour, the uncooked batter in qu...

Food fortification is a cost-effective and sustainable strategy to prevent or correct micronutrient deficiencies. A double-blind cluster (bari) randomised controlled trial was conducted in a rural community in Bangladesh to evaluate the impact of consumption of chapatti made of micronutrient-fortified wheat flour for 6 months by school-aged children on their vitamin A, haemoglobin and iron stat...

Cereal Cheill. XO(4):427·-436 Amy lose content is closely related to wheat flour pasting or thermal properties, and thus affects final food qualities. J:iourteen flour blends with amylose content ranges of < I to 29% were used to study tortilla production and quality parameters. Reduced amylose contents decreased dough stickiness and pliability; low amylose doughs were also very smooth in appea...

A PCR-based method was developed to distinguish between durum/common wheat and common wheat by leveraging slight differences of DNA sequence in Starch Synthase II (SS II) coded on wheat A, B and D genomes. A primer pair, SS II ex7-U/L, was designed to hybridize with a conserved DNA sequence region found in SS II-A, B and D genes. Another primer pair, SS II-D 1769U/1889L, was constructed to reco...
