Soy peroxidase enzyme obtained from isoelectic precipitation procedures was added to all-purpose flour (APF) to assess its effects on the rheological properties and consumer acceptability of yeast bread. A pH 4.8 isoelectrically precipitated fraction from soybeans was used because it produced the most precipitate and had about the same peroxidase activity as the other fractions. Gluten strength...

In this study the chemical composition and iron bioavailability of hull and hull-less soybean flour from the new cultivar UFVTN 105AP was evaluated. The hemoglobin depletion-repletion method was used in Wistar rats. Soybean hull flour presented 37% more total dietary fiber and higher content of iron than hull-less soybean flour. The phytate:iron molar ratio, however, was 2-fold lower in the soy...

The effects of eight diets (atta flour, wheat flour, self-rising flour, rice flour, custard powder, corn flour, tapioca starch, and potato starch) on the development of the red flour beetle, Tribolium castaneum (Herbst), reared at 29-31 degrees C and 66-70% RH were assessed. Five pairs of male and female T. castaneum were reared on the respective diets for 28 d before the experimental setup was...

This paper discusses selected properties of particleboard, hardboard, medium-densi­ ty fiberboard (MDF), and plywood related to their use in furniture and cabinet manu­ facture. Properties covered are screw-hold­ ing, internal bond, density profile, and edge appearance. Studies of direct screw with­ drawal of panel products indicate that re­ sistance to withdrawal from the edge is 75 to 80 perc...

The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of Supplementations of teff (Eragrostis teff (ZUCC.) Trotter) grain flour to wheat flour at 0, 5, 10, 15 and 20% levels on organoleptic and nutritional evaluation of the supplemented bread. Protein, moisture, ash and falling number as well as rheological evaluation were estimated for prepared flour blends and dough. Besides, organoleptic assessme...

INTRODUCTION In Nigeria, nursing mothers are advised to give their infants plantain flour paste 'amala ogede' with 'ewedu' Corchorus olitorius soup during the process of weaning. Over-matured okra is typically discarded resulting in substantial post-harvest waste; the seed could be processed into okra seed flour for the fortification of plantain flour. The aim of this study is to evaluate the e...
