wheat flour is a commodity with a high risk of aflatoxins (afs) contamination. during the bread making there are many processes that can affect the afs stability. the effect of bread making process using different yeast types on afs levels was investigated. for this purpose, standards of afs including b and gwere added to flour and then bread loaves were prepared. three types of commercially av...

The Craik-O'Brien-Cornsweet (COC) effect demonstrates that perceived lightness depends not only on the retinal input at corresponding visual areas but also on distal retinal inputs. In the COC effect, the central edge of an opposing pair of luminance gradients (COC edge) makes adjoining regions with identical luminance appear to be different. To investigate the underlying mechanisms of the effe...

In this article we report on work concerned with the three-dimensional numerical simulation of dough mixing that arises in the food processing industry. Two dough mixers at various rotation speeds are studied, one with one stirrer and the other with two stirrers. Various types of fluid models are incorporated in this work. Numerical simulations are based on three dimensions in the cylindrical c...

this research was carried out at the research farm, faculty of agriculture, bu-ali sina university in growing season of 2011-2012. the aim of research was to evaluate the effect of foliar application of nano-iron chelate and bacterization of mesorhizobium bacteria on root nodulation, growth, grain yield and yield components of chickpea under rainfed conditions. a randomized complete block desig...

      In order to study the effects of post-anthesis heat stress and nitrogen levels on grain yield and yield components of wheat genotypes, two separate field experiments were conducted in delayed and optimum sowing dates under Ahvaz conditions (2006-2007). The Ahvaz site located in south west of Iran (32°20' N, 40°20' E) with subtropical climate condition. The experiment site had a moderate w...

Selection of drought tolerant wheat genotypes for Arid and Semi-arid lands (ASALS) of Kenya, which consist of 83% of total land area, can provide alternative agricultural land for expansion. To reduce cost of dryland research, simulated drought under a rain shelter offers a good alternative for screening because marginal areas are vast and widespread. Four moisture regimes which simulated termi...

Cereal Chem. ~()(5):51 ~523 Wlwat (hilil'/ilil (/('slil'llll/ I .. ) genotypes with short mixing times usually have low lllixing toiel'ance values. which make them more ,ensitive to overmixing in commercial bread production. In thi, ,tudy. we evaluated the genotypic and environmental elTects on agronol11ic performance and end-u.se quality of 27 experimental genotypes (hereaner reJ'crred to a, I...
