Detection of the irradiation dose and the vigour of irradiated rice based on the ultra-weak luminescent analysis is one of the promising analytical detection methods. Rough rice and head rice flour were used in this research for ultra-weak luminescent analysis. The bioluminescence intensity of the rough rice was different at varying irradiation doses and storage time. The trend of the differenc...

Eosinophilic esophagitis is a chronic, antigen-mediated esophageal disease characterized clinically by symptoms of esophageal dysfunction and histologically by eosinophilpredominant inflammation. The symptoms of eosinophilic esophagitis in adults are (from the least to the most frequent) dysphagia, chest pain, food impaction, and upper abdominal pain [1]. We present the case of a 38-year-old wo...

J. Econ. Entomol. ii: 1144-1148 (1984) ABSTRACT Seed oils of many sapindaceous plants contain substantial amounts of cyanolipids. Several of these oils stimulated aggregation of the sawtoothed grain beetle, Oryzaephilus surinamensis (L.), and the confused flour beetle, Tribolium confusum (Jacquelin duVal). In a pitfall bioassay, they attracted the sawtoothed grain beetle and the rice weevil, Si...

abstract due to economical importance of stored product pests and resistance to conventional insecticides, it is necessary to use novel and suitable compounds in control programs. therefore, we evaluated the toxicity of spinosad to three important storage insect, red flour beetle, tribolium castaneum (herbst), rice weevil, sitophilus oryzae (l.), sawtoothed grain beetle oryzaephilus surinamensi...

introduction: cakes are usually formulated including wheat flour, sugar, egg and some liquids such as milk, water and oil. the textural properties of gluten in dough such as tensile, expansion and tolerance capability during mixing are major factors in baking industry. in fact, the structural protein to produce bread, cakes, muffins and biscuits is called gluten and the absence of gluten due to...

A high performance liquid chromatographic method was developed for determination of aflatoxin B1 (AFB1) in foods using a monolithic column with sample clean up on an immunoaffinity column. The method was validated for analysis of AFB1 in rice, bread, puffed corn snack, wheat flour and peanut samples. The average recoveries for AFB1 in different foods ranged from 94.4 to 102.5% with the coeffici...

1. Cereals : (i) The total quantity of rationed cereals should be as laid down, from time to time, by the rationing authorities. At present, it is 12 ozs. per day per patient. It should preferably be distributed in the proportions indicated against rice, bread, wheat flour, etc. in the different diet scales. (ii) Undermilled rice a ,, wholemeal bread sho be used in. place of nil and/or polished...

In this research, after carrying out chemical tests measuring the moisture, protein and ash contents on rice flour according to standard methods, gluten- free breads were prepared from rice flour combined with 0.5% Carboxy Methyl Cellulose (CMC) and 1% -κCarrageenan gum. A sample lacking gum was also produced as control. Rice breads (with gum and without gum) were then produced by semi-industri...

The transgenic rice line (TRS) enriched with amylose and resistant starch (RS) was developed by antisense RNA inhibition of starch-branching enzymes. Cereal starch with high amylose has a great benefit on human health through its resistant starch. In order to evaluate the effect of transgenic rice on rats, the rats were fed diets containing 70% TRS rice flour, its near-isogenic rice flour or th...

The present study focussed on the use of Foxtail millet (Setaria italica) along with other flour for production of ready-to-eat snack products using extrusion cooking. The ultimate objective is to add value to millet and other subtropical crops to enable their commercialisation and thereby provide additional livelihood opportunities to the farmers in semi‐arid regions. Composite flours were pre...
