Cereal Chem. 79(3):418–422 The percentage of dark hard vitreous (DHV) kernels in hard red spring wheat is an important grading factor that is associated with protein content, kernel hardness, milling properties, and baking quality. The current visual method of determining DHV and non-DHV (NDHV) wheat kernels is time-consuming, tedious, and subject to large errors. The objective of this research...

Different nitrogen treatments were applied on winter wheat crops during several growing seasons (2002, 2003 and 2005). The starch was isolated and the impact of the nitrogen fertilization on the starch properties was evaluated. The comparison of the three harvest seasons shows globally the same observations. A significant impact of the N-fertilization on the grain yield and flour properties was...

the concept of soft sets, introduced by molodtsov [20] is a mathematicaltool for dealing with uncertainties, that is free from the difficultiesthat have troubled the traditional theoretical approaches. in this paper, weapply the notion of the soft sets of molodtsov to the theory of hilbert algebras.the notion of soft hilbert (abysmal and deductive) algebras, soft subalgebras,soft abysms and sof...

Cereal Chern. 61(5): 423-427 Whole wheat and flour were fermented to make alcohol. The residue, after alcohol was distilled, was fractionated into distillers' grains, centrifuged solids, and distillers' solubles. Distillers' grains and centrifuged solids had protein contents of 29 and 57%, respectively, and accounted for Fermentation of cereal grains to make alcohol produces a protein-rich mate...

A highly sensitive fourth derivative spectrophotometric method is presented for the residue analysis of ethylenebis dithiocarbamate fungicide Maneb. The fungicide maneb forms a blue complex with sodium molybdate on heating which is studied spectrophotometrically. The method has been successfully applied to maneb determination in wheat grains and soft drinks with high recoveries. The analytical ...

Wheat ( L.) spike characteristics determine the number of grains produced on each spike and constitute key components of grain yield. Understanding of the genetic basis of spike characteristics in wheat, however, is limited. In this study, genotyping-by-sequencing (GBS) and the iSelect 9K assay were used on a doubled-haploid (DH) soft red winter wheat population that showed a wide range of phen...

To obtain new insight into the quantitative and qualitative metabolism of rye and wheat lignans, we performed three series of experiments with catheterized pigs. Two diets with similar levels of dietary fiber and macronutrients but with contrasting levels of plant lignans (isolariciresinol, lariciresinol, matairesinol, pinoresinol, secoisolariciresinol and syringaresinol) were prepared from rye...
