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...

Considering the high interest in using pulses production of staple foods, including pasta, this study aimed at investigating effect pre-gelatinisation on overall quality pasta from red lentils. Pre-gelatinized flours showed a lower gelatinisation temperature (up to about 57 °C vs. 65 °C) and higher retrogradation tendency than native flour. Such changes resulted water absorption capacity 1.23 0...

Two origin of starch – maize and wheat were tested by using four non lactating cows with rumen and duodenal Tcannules in the experiment. Cr2O3 was used as a marker of nutrient flow to the duodenum. Cows were fed diets consisting of, %: forage 70, maize and/or wheat meal 27 and/or 29, soyabeanmeal 2 and vitamix S 1, on dry matter basis. Starch origin did not affect ruminal fermentation significa...

Waxy starch has an important influence on the qualities of breads. Generally, grain weight and yield in waxy wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) are significantly lower than in bread wheat. In this study, we performed the first proteomic and phosphoproteomic analyses of starch granule-binding proteins by comparing the waxy wheat cultivar Shannong 119 and the bread wheat cultivar Nongda 5181. These res...

Amylose can form inclusion complexes with diverse small molecules. Modified starch has different and unique properties compared with its native counterpart. In this study, chemically/enzymatically modified high-amylose maize starches were used to make inclusion complexes with α-naphthol, and the physical properties of complexes and their influences on the rheology of wheat starch were character...

Microencapsulation as one of the most modern methods has remarkable effects on probiotic survival. In this study Lactobacillus casei (ATCC 39392) and Bifidobacterium bifidum (ATCC 29521) were encapsulated using calcium alginate-gelatinized starch, chitosan coating and inulin via emulsion technique, and were incubated in simulated gastric juice (along with pepsin, pH=1.5) and simulated intestina...

Requirement for replacement of energy and fuels from fossil sources by renewable sources also leads to utilization of domestic and local sources of biomass convertible to biofuel. Moreover former and actual troubles in nuclear energy generation could intensify this trend too. Renewable source for biofuel production in countries of temperate zone is also wheat as crop with relatively simply grow...

Potato starch-based emulsion gels were fabricated that consisted of whey protein-coated oil droplets dispersed in a gelatinized starch matrix. The impact potato concentration (0–16%) on the rheological properties, water distribution, and vitro digestive behavior was examined. exhibited shear-thinning viscoelastic properties. apparent viscosity increased with progressing concentration, stronger ...

Starch is the primary nutrient in ruminant diets used to promote high levels of performance. The site of starch digestion alters the nature of digestive end products (VFA in the rumen vs. glucose in the small intestine) and the efficiency of use. Cereal grain endosperm texture plays a major role in the rate and extent of starch degradation in ruminants. Wheat grain texture is regulated by the s...
