Cereal Quality Characteristics as Affected by Controlled Atmospheric Storage Conditions

O NMR and DSC for Studying Quality of Taro Paste as Affected by Processing and Storage

Three kinds of taro paste were prepared with taro:water:sugar ratios of 1:0.33:1.4, 1:0.33:0.8 and 1:0.33:0.2. Results indicated that the paste with the highest sucrose concentration had the least hard texture. The retarding effect of sugar on hardness development and water mobility of the low concentration system was fructose > glucose > lactose > sucrose. The DSC characteristics showed that a...

Characteristics of Lignin from Flax Shives as Affected by Extraction Conditions

Lignin, a polyphenolic molecule, is a major constituent of flax shives. This polyphenolic molecular structure renders lignin a potential source of a variety of commercially viable products such as fine chemicals. This work compares the performance of different lignin isolation methods. Lignin from flax shive was isolated using both conventional alkaline extraction method and a novel experimenta...

Rheological and Quality Characteristics of Taftoon Bread as Affected by Salep and Persian Gums

Effects of salep gum at concentrations of 0.5%, 1%, 3%, and 5% (w/w flour basis) and the Persian gum at concentrations of 0.5%, 1%, and 3% (w/w flour basis) and combination of the two gums at concentrations of 0.5% + 0.5%, 0.75% + 0.25%, and 0.25% + 0.75% on rheological properties of the wheat flour dough and quality of Taftoon bread were studied with regard to retardation of staling. Rheologic...
