alpha-amylase activity of wheat flour is one of the important factors to determine its suitability for baguette bread making. in this study, setareh flour (81% extraction rate) was procured from six flourmills situated in six climatically different provinces. ph, moisture, ash, wet gluten and alpha-amylase activity tests were applied on flour samples and showed that the alpha-amylase activity i...

Cereal Chem. 69(3):266-270 Reduction of phytate was studied in model dough systems using whole(up to 550 C) phytic acid concentrations were less than 8 and 4% of original grain coarse meals or flours and during breadmaking of coarse meal concentrations for wheat and rye, respectively. Further increase of the breads from wheat and rye. It was found that pH was the most important temperature (abo...

Optimisation of composite flour comprising pearl millet, kidney beans and tigernut with xanthan gum was evaluated for rheological evaluations. The functional properties of the composite flour were optimized using optimal design of response surface methodology. The optimum blends, defined as blends with overall best functional characteristics were run 3 (75.956% pearl millet, 17.692% kidney bean...

The demand for products of high nutritional value from sustainable sources is growing rapidly in the global food market. In this study, the effect of pH on the functional properties of lupin, green pea, fava bean, hemp, and buckwheat flours was investigated and compared with wheat flour. Functional properties included solubility, emulsifying and foaming properties, gelling ability, and water ho...

Seed flours from black raspberry, red raspberry, blueberry, cranberry, pinot noir grape, and chardonnay grape were examined for their total fat content, fatty acid composition, total phenolic content (TPC), total anthocyanin content (TAC), radical scavenging capacities against the peroxyl (ORAC) and stable DPPH radicals, chelating capacity against Fe(2+), and antiproliferative activities using ...

BACKGROUND One way to diminish protein malnutrition in children is by enriching cereal-based flours for the manufacturing of maize tortillas, wheat flour tortillas, and yeast-leavened breads, which are widely consumed among low socio-economic groups. OBJECTIVE The aim was to determine and compare the essential amino acid (EAA) scores, protein digestibility corrected amino acid scores (PDCAAS)...

Cereal Chem. 72(l):33-37 The FY sedimentation test is commonly used by manufacturers of Spring and Western Soft White wheat classes decreased. Examination steamed and fried noodles as one of their flour quality specifications. of flours increasing in protein content and dough strength suggested that The FY sedimentation values of Canadian wheat flours were determined, the latter was associated ...

Finger millet is an important cereal crop in Africa, where it plays role nutrition and food security. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect germination period on physicochemical properties elite finger varieties. Axum, Meba, Tadesse Tessema varieties were soaked for 24 h germinated 24, 48 72 at room temperature (23.2 ± 2.6°C) relative humidity (37.91 8.17%), before being oven-dr...
