Saccharomyces cerevisiae is routinely used yeast in food fermentations because it combines several key traits, including fermentation efficiency and production of desirable flavors. However, the dominance of S. cerevisiae in industrial fermentations limits the diversity in the aroma profiles of the end products. Hence, there is a growing interest in non-conventional yeast strains that can help ...

Fermentation by fungi converts stored pollen into bee bread that is fed to honey bee larvae, Apis mellifera, so the diversity of fungi in bee bread may be related to its food value. To explore the relationship between fungicide exposure and bee bread fungi, samples of bee bread collected from bee colonies pollinating orchards from 7 locations over 2 years were analyzed for fungicide residues an...

The traditional use of sodium chloride (NaCl) fulfils various important rheological, technological and sensory properties while manufacturing of baked goods. However, using NaCl in the production of food has been controversially discussed since a high intake of sodium is discussed to be associated with hypertension. Retrogradation of starch in bread crumb is defined for changes that take place ...

Introduction: Thirst is one of the main complaints during Islamic fasting. As bread is the staple food among most Muslims, evaluating its impact on thirst is important. In this study, we investigated the effect of licorice-enriched barley bread compared to barley bread and white wheat bread. Methods: This clinical trial was performed on three consecutive days during Itikaf ceremony. Data were g...

Sensory parameters of gluten-free bread depend on the amount and type of hydrocolloids used as gluten replacers, as this determines interactions between them and starch, which is the main component of dough. The evaluation of gluten-free breads supplemented with various amounts of guar gum, pectin and xanthan, proved that bread with addition of xanthan has higher volume in comparison with pecti...

Krupa-Kozak U., Wronkowska M., Soral-Śmietana M. (2011): Effect of buckwheat flour on microelements and proteins contents in gluten-free bread. Czech J. Food Sci., 29: 103–108. Coeliac disease is an autoimmune gluten-sensitive entheropathy. The only available treatment for it is the life-long adherence to a gluten-free diet although these products are often poor in proteins, minerals, and vitam...

OBJECTIVE To measure the iodine content in bread and household salt in Denmark after mandatory iodine fortification was introduced and to estimate the increase in iodine intake due to the fortification. DESIGN The iodine content in rye breads, wheat breads and salt samples was assessed. The increase in iodine intake from fortification of bread and the increase in total iodine intake after for...

BACKGROUND In September 2009, a folic acid fortification mandate (135 μg/100 g bread) was to be implemented in New Zealand. However, due to political and manufacturer objection, fortification was deferred until May 2012. Based on estimates of bread consumption derived from a 1997 nationally representative survey, this program was intended to deliver a mean additional intake of 140 μg folic acid...

The impact of health claims on purchase intent, emotional response and liking has never been previously reported. In this study, prebiotic-enriched bread was used as a model functional food. Purchase intent, emotional response and liking were investigated in three phases: (1) focus groups were used to gauge consumer perception of health claims and functional foods, (2) the impact of health clai...
