The consumer demand is increasing for composite flour based bakery products like biscuits.The incorporation of buckwheat can be justified in composite flour based biscuits as it has beneficial nutraceutical properties and its gluten-free nature can play important role in preventing celiac problem. The physicochemical and functional properties of buckwheat flour were studied and biscuits were pr...

The objectives of this work were to (a) determine the percentage recovery of three allergens (casein, egg and soy) simultaneously incurred in a flour matrix, (b) investigate the effect of different baking periods on allergen recovery using two different methods of allergen detection, namely enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) and flow cytometry, and c) determine the solubility of proteins...

Soybean is the second largest acreage crop in the United States (29%), right after corn (35%) according to the American Soybean Association [1]. Soybean is widely consumed in the world, particularly in Asian countries. The various soybean products could be separated in‐ to non-fermented and fermented soybean products. The non-fermented soybean products include soymilk, tofu, yuba, soybean sprou...

A multiplex chemiluminescent biosensor for simple, rapid and ultrasensitive on-site quantification of aflatoxin B1 and type B-fumonisins in maize samples has been developed. The biosensor integrates a multiplex indirect competitive lateral flow immunoassay (LFIA) based on enzyme-catalyzed chemiluminescence detection and a highly sensitive portable charge-coupled device (CCD) camera, employed in...

Previous studies have determined the potential location for sweetpotato flour processing and also examined the processing procedure necessary to produce marketable and profitably flour. This paper reports the second technical trial in which conversion rate and flour quality (i.e., whiteness and coarseness) were further investigated by selecting for sweetpotato roots with high dry matter content...

Malnutrition continues to be a key health problem in developing regions. The valorization of food waste appears as an ideal way to prevent malnutrition and improve people's access to food. Cumin (Cuminum cyminum L.) and caraway (Carum carvi L.) oilseeds are commonly used for cuisine and medicinal purposes. However, remaining cakes after oil extraction are usually underutilized. In order to asse...

This work aims at examining the physical, chemical and functional properties of composite flour produced with cassava, rice, soybean flours, and potato starch and added with 0.5% xanthan gum. Nine blends of composite flours were prepared by homogenously mixing rice flour, cassava flour, soybean flour, and potato starch (RF:CF:SF:PS) in the proportions of 30:50:15:4.5, 30:45:20:4.5, 30:40:25:4.5...

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...
