A psychological theory is a set of statements that satisfies five philosophical criteria. The first criterion is that the proposed explanation can be used to deduce the behavioural phenomena to be explained. For example, suppose someone asks, ‘Why is bread good to eat?’ We use operational definitions of ‘bread’ and ‘good to eat’ in order to link these concepts to the world of observations. Defi...

Ozonation of wheat grain is a quick and easy process that could be realized during the storage. The ozone is in direct contact with the grain and modifies immediately the properties of the wheat. Stability and resistance of dough were increased with ozonation at 40 ppm in comparative with control sample. The results showed a gradual increase in specific volume of balady bread according to the t...

This study aimed to determine the major food groups contributing to dietary glycaemic load (GL). Plausible food intake data collected using a multiple-pass 24 hour recall from a weighted sample of 6326 adult respondents (52% male) of the 2011-2012 Australian Health Survey dataset (AHS) were analysed. The GI of foods was estimated based on a previously published step-wise method. Descriptive sta...

Moazzami, Aahana Shrestha, David A. Morrison, Kaisa Poutanen, and Hannu Mykkänen 807 A Peptidomic Analysis of Human Milk Digestion in the Infant Stomach Reveals Protein-Speci...

The possible use of phytase as a breadmaking improver has been tested in whole wheat breads by adding different amounts of fungal phytase. The effect of phytase addition on the fermentation stage and the final bread quality was analyzed. The phytase addition shortened the fermentation period, without affecting the bread dough pH. Regarding the whole wheat bread, a considerable increase of the s...

A fast and simple modified QuEChERS extraction method was developed for determination of Benzo[a]pyrene (BaP) in 137 traditional (Sangak), semi-industrial (Sangak) and industrial bread samples using spiked calibration curves by GC/MS. Sample preparation includes extraction of BaP into acetone followed by cleanup with dispersive solid phase extraction. The limit of detection and limit of quantif...

Dropa T., Hajšlová J., Lancová K., Burešová I. (2014): The effect of bread-making process on contents of key trichothecene mycotoxins: deoxynivalenol, T-2, and HT-2 toxins. Czech J. Food Sci., 32: 570–577. The fate of trichothecene mycotoxins deoxynivalenol (DON), T-2 and HT-2 toxins during the bread preparation and baking was investigated in order to obtain information about the influence of p...

Mandatory folic acid fortification of wheat flour for making bread was implemented in Australia in September 2009, to improve the dietary folate status of women of child-bearing age, and help reduce the incidence of neural tube defects in the population. This paper presents estimates of folic acid intake in the target population and other subgroups of the Australian population following impleme...

Fiber-containing for...

Two types of white wheat bread (high- and low-type loaves) were investigated for rope spoilage. Thirty of the 56 breads tested developed rope spoilage within 5 days; the high-type loaves were affected by rope spoilage more than the low-type loaves. Sixty-one Bacillus strains were isolated from ropy breads and were characterized on the basis of their phenotypic and genotypic traits. All of the i...
