This study was performed to investigate the quality characteristics of noodles made from four different potato varieties: Atlantic, Go-un, Sae-bong, Jin-sun, and wheat flour. Quality characteristics of five noodles were analyzed by general components analysis, cooking quality (rate of water absorption, cooking loss, and volume increase), and mechanical textural properties. Some variations exist...

Grain hardness is an important quality trait that influences product development in wheat. This trait is governed by variation in puroindoline proteins (PINA and PINB). Our study evaluated 551 Indian wheat germplasm lines for diversity in Pina and Pinb genes. Eighty-two lines were shortlisted for full length sequencing and grain hardness studies. Sequencing studies identified six unknown allele...

Terahertz (THz) spectroscopy and multivariate data analysis were explored to discriminate eight wheat varieties. The absorption spectra were measured using THz time-domain spectroscopy from 0.2 to 2.0 THz. Using partial least squares (PLS), a regression model for discriminating wheat varieties was developed. The coefficient of correlation in cross validation (R) and root-mean-square error of cr...

One of the greatest virus disease threats to wheat production in the Great Plains of the USA isWheat streak mosaic virus (WSMV). Breeding programs have developed wheat varieties that are resistant or toler...

Drought is one of the major limiting factors in wheat production in Pakistan. Five commercial wheat varieties; Chakwal-97, Inqilab-91, Margalla-99, NR-234 and Wafaq2001 were grown in pots in glasshouse. Plants were subjected to three consecutive drought cycles at tillering, pre-anthesis and milky growth stages by withholding water till leaf rolling started. Measurements of physiological respons...

The influence of humidity and low temperature on the αamylase activity and isoenzyme composition of grains of different wheat varieties have been studied. The identified samples of varieties have significant difference in the level of enzyme induction under the impact of high humidity and low temperature. It is proposed to use this methodological approach for testing genotypes and wheat breedin...

Untargeted metabolomic strategy was chosen to investigate as many small metabolites as possible in a collection of 13 varieties of conventionally grown spring and winter wheat and organic wheat (Triticum aestivum). Metabolites were separated by high-performance liquid chromatography on a reversed-phase column (RP–HPLC) coupled with electrospray ionization tandem mass spectrometry (ESI–MS/MS). T...

background and objectives: currently nearly 70% of the area under cultivation of a milliard hectares of the world, devoted to cereals as well as about half of the total dietary needs of people, especially in asia directly from cereals sources. factors affecting wheat quality includes the chemical, physical, qualitative and farming. since each grain products requires the use of flour with specia...
