Thermal Properties of Wheat Flour

Effect of wheat flour, Bengal gram flour and corn flour on lipid metabolism in rats.

Male albino rats were fed on respective diets of wheat flour, Bengal gram flour and corn flour for 8 weeks at the 59% level. It was observed that the increase in weight after wheat flour and Bengal gram flour feeding was 6.8 and 12.0% respectively and that the decrease after corn flour feeding was 5.2% as compared to the control animals on sucrose diet. Serum cholesterol and liver cholesterol l...

Impact of Wheat Flour Fortification on Anemia

This peer-reviewed article was written by the Food Fortification Initiative on 19 June 2013 For more information, e-mail [email protected] or see: www.FFInetwork.org Anemia and Public Health An estimated 30% of the world’s population is anemic [1]. Anemia can be caused by nutritional deficiency (e.g., iron, folate, vitamin B12, vitamin A) and non-nutritional factors (e.g., malaria, hookworm, ...

Ultrasound Study of Wheat Flour Properties

Genotypic Variation in Wheat Flour Lysophospholipids.

Lysophospholipids (LPLs) are the most abundant polar lipids in wheat endosperm and naturally complex with amylose, affecting starch physicochemical properties. We analyzed LPLs in wheat flour from 58 cultivars which differ by grain hardness using liquid chromatography mass spectrometry (LCMS). There were significant differences in LPL content between cultivars, demonstrating that genotype rathe...
