Environ. Entomol. 23(6): 1534-1543 (1994) ABSTRACT The nitidulid species, Carpophilus mutilatus Erichson, C. hemipterus (L.), C. freemani Dobson, and C. obsoletus Erichson, responded to their aggregation pheromones during a 17-mo study in a California date garden. The pheromones were dramatically synergized by volatiles from fermenting whole-wheat bread dough; pheromones alone attracted only 1....

Enzymes are useful to modify wheat proteins to preserve the gas better and to correct the rheological properties of the dough of weak flour and bread. Gluten proteins are highly impacting the quality of various gluten-based products, and transglutaminases (TGs) leading to the strengthening, stability and constancy of the dough as well as the improvement of the volume, texture and storage time o...

The present study investigated six varieties of locally grown wheat (Lasani, Sehar, Miraj-08, Chakwal-50, Faisalabad-08 and Inqlab) procured from Punjab Seed Corporation, Lahore, Pakistan for their proximate contents. On the basis of protein content and ready availability, Faisalabad-08 (FD-08) was selected to be used for the assessment of comparative efficiency of various methods used for glut...

A yeast strain capable of leavening both unsugared and sweet bread dough efficiently would reduce the necessity of carrying out the expensive procedure of producing multiple baker's yeast strains. But issues involving the use of genetically modified foods have rendered the use of recombinant techniques for developing yeast strains controversial. Therefore, we used strong selection and screening...

In this study, the addition of Sweet lupin seeds flour (SLSF) in different levels (5, 10 and 15%) to wheat flour (WF) was evaluated. Dough mixing properties, bread physical characteristics and sensory properties were investigated. Increasing SLSF level in the SLSF-WF composites led to an increased water absorption, dough development time, C4 and setback torque, while it decreased flour moisture...

The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of supplementing wheat flour with 5, 10, and 15% seinat seed proteins on physicochemical, nutritional and sensory properties of bread. Seinat seeds protein concentrate (SSPC) and seinat seeds protein isolates (SSPI) were added to wheat flour (WF) to make bread. Dough characteristics were studied using a Brabender Farinograph and Extensograph. Loa...

Wheat is known as a staple crop around the world. Roshan wheat cultivar is an elite variety with high cultivation in Iran, on which radiation has been done in order to access higher qualitative feature. After data collection of the tests Farinograph and Extensograph were implemented using physical and chemical features of wild type wheat and mutant line. The results suggest that line mutant in ...

Biscuits are convenient food products, becoming very popular among both rural and urban populations of worldwide. Some of the reasons for such wide popularity are low cost among other processed foods, varied taste, easy availability and longer shelf life. This paper presents a review regarding several aspects of the quality and impact of biscuits making until biscuits packaging, mainly from foo...
