The functionality of gluten extracted from Canada Western Red Spring (CWRS) and Canada Western Extra Strong (CWES) wheat flours was evaluated and compared. The extra-strong wheat cultivars had stronger dough properties and produced smaller bread loaves than AC Barrie. Modifications of a starch displacement gluten extraction method were evaluated. For optimal gluten formation and extraction, wat...

A field experiment was conducted to evaluate the crop water stress index (CWSI), grain yield and canopy temperature of triticale under two irrigation regimes at Research Station of College of Agriculture and Natural Resources of Darab, Shiraz University, in 2013. A split plot design was used with three triticale cultivars (Sanabad, ET-83-3, and ET-84-5), as sub-plots and four levels of irrigati...

to understand the effects of salinity stress on four different growth stages of sorghum, a greenhouse experiment with 10 treatments, considering all possible combinations of salinity stress and salt- free periods was carried out. the four growth stages for stress application included: emergence until growing point differentiation, growing point differentiation until half bloom, half bloom until...

In complex task domains, such as games, students may exceed their teachers. Such tasks afford diverse means to tradeoff one type of performance for another, combining task elements in novel ways to yield method variations and strategy discoveries that, if mastered, might produce large or small leaps in performance. For the researcher interested in the development of extreme expertise in the wil...

Hybridization study of two Saccharomyces cerevisiae baker’s yeast strains isolated in Thailand, IFRPD 6080 and IFRPD 6081, was carried out. Rare-mating technique has been employed with haploid and diploid mating strains of Japanese baker’s yeast. Polyploid (triploid and tetraploid) hybrids produced from rare-mating were selected and induced for sporulation. Screening of segregants obtained from...

This research aimed to investigate effects of dough improvers (trehalose; TR, sucrose ester; SE and hydroxylpropylmethylcellulose; HPMC) on microstructural, textural, rheological and baking properties of frozen dough with virgin coconut oil using central composite design (CCD). Frozen dough containing dough improvers had higher values of all properties compared to frozen dough without dough imp...

Glycerol is the main compatible solute in yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae. When faced with osmotic stress, for example during semi-solid state bread dough fermentation, yeast cells produce and accumulate glycerol in order to prevent dehydration by balancing the intracellular osmolarity with that of the environment. However, increased glycerol production also results in decreased CO2 production, ...

Surfactants are widely used in bakeries as dough strengtheners and dough improvers but there is a wide range of compounds available according to their mode of action that could potentially improve the quality of not only the simple breads and doughs but also of frozen dough. These types of product usually have a short shelf-life when compared with normal bakery products. With the increase in mo...

The end-use quality of ten winter wheat cultivars was evaluated during the two years period 2004 and 2005 and through multi location trials. A better end-use quality of cultivars was noticed in 2004 compared with 2005. The highest protein, sedimentation value and wet gluten were realized at location Nova Gradiška, while at location Osijek the highest falling number and the highest grain hardnes...

The consumer quality of baked products is closely related with dough structure properties. These are developed during dough fermentation and finalized during its baking. In this study, magnetic resonance microscopy (MRM) was employed in a study of dough fermentation and baking. A small hot air oven was installed inside a 2.35-T horizontal bore superconducting magnet. Four different samples of c...
