Novel Approaches in Gluten-Free Breadmaking: Interface between Food Science, Nutrition, and Health

Breadmaking Performance of Protein Enriched Gluten Free Breads

Soybean enriched rice based gluten free breads were designed incorporating a structuring agent (hydroxypropylmethylcellulose HPMC) and a processing aid (transglutaminase TG). At dough level the effect of increasing amounts of soybean protein isolate (SPI), HPMC and water was studied in the Mixolab. Mixing and thermal characteristics showed the significant effect induced by water, soybean protei...

The objective of this work was to study the quality of guar and guar gum produced in Sindh, Pakistan. Fresh guar, guar seeds and guar gum made in laboratory was analyzed for that purpose. For comparison purpose, analytical grade guar gum and industrial guar gum (prepared from guar split) was also studied. Results of proximate composition of guar seed revealed that it is mainly composed of Nitro...

Brazilian Society for Food and Nutrition position statement: gluten-free diet

Position statement: The Brazilian Society for Food and Nutrition (SBAN) bases the following position statement on a critical analysis of the literature on the indications of a gluten-free (GF) diet. (1) There is insufficient evidence to assume that healthy individuals would experience any benefits from the consumption of a GF diet. (2) Recent studies suggest that gluten sensitivity may be confo...
