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 influences of different variables on the viscosity and gel formation of the konjac flour produced from Amorphophallus oncophyllus have been studied. At the concentration studied, the 1.5% konjac flour yielded a viscous solution than that of 0.5% konjac flour. The viscosity of konjac flour solution were unaffected by pH (pH 2 to pH 8), salt concentration (0-10% w/v), and high acid (pH 3.5) /...

Objectives: Association of silica with diseases like cancers has been determined previously. This study was designed to determine the quantity of silis in flour produced in Golestan province and its relation to the esophageal cancer. Methodology: We took flour samples from all flour mills in Golestan province. Base-melting method in nickel cruise was used in 550°c; the extract was reduced with ...

Celiac Disease is a chronic entheropathy produced by gluten intolerance, more precisely to certain proteins called prolamines, which causes atrophy of intestinal villi, malabsorption and clinical symptoms that can appear in both childhood and adulthood. This pathogeny, results from the interaction of genetic, immunologic and environmental factors, which produce the lesions on the mucosa of the ...

BACKGROUND Rice is commonly known as a staple crop consumed worldwide, though with several rice proteins being reported for allergic properties in clinical studies. Thus, there is a growing need for the development of an animal model to better understand the allergenicity of rice proteins and the immunological and pathophysiological mechanisms underlying the development of food allergy. METHO...

A 6-month-old girl presented referred for FPIES of difficult management. Admitted for suspected sepsis at 15 days after receiving milk thickened with cream of rice, she was hospitalized for suspected anaphylaxis at 5 months soon after her first rice-containing meal. Correctly diagnosed with rice-induced FPIES, she was challenged with maize to which she reacted with vomiting, hypotonia and blood...

This work evaluates the physical properties affecting the flowability of the commercial rice flour. This flour/ powder were selected because of the flow issues encountered by the mills/ industries during bulk handling. A number of powder physical properties, including moisture content, particle size distribution, bulk density, compressibility index, angle of repose and co-efficient of friction ...

Our objective was to measure the proximate, starch, amino acid, and mineral compositions of grains, grain co-products, and other carbohydrate sources with potential use in pet foods. Thirty-two samples from barley (barley flake, cut barley, ground pearled barley, malted barley, whole pearled barley, pearled barley flakes, and steamed rolled barley); oats (groats, ground oatmeal, ground steamed ...

The experiment was conducted to evaluate the effect of some containers, chemicals and indigenous materials for protection of wheat seed in storage at the Entomology Laboratory of Sher-e-Bangla Agricultural University (SAU), Dhaka. Wheat seeds were stored in four types of containers (Tin kouta, earthen pot, plastic container and gunny bag) with two types of chemicals (Naphthalene and camphor) an...
