kefiran is an exogenous microbial metabolite produced mainly by bacteria and fungi during growth. the present study investigated the effects of the addition of 3% kefiran and 3% xanthan on the extensographic characteristics of wheat dough and the shelf life of raised bread. kefir grain was cultivated in a shaking incubator and kefiran extraction was carried using a centrifugal refrigerator. the...

BACKGROUND AND AIMS Most plant scientists, in contrast to animal scientists, study only half the organism, namely above-ground stems, leaves, flowers and fruits, and neglect below-ground roots. Yet all acknowledge roots are important for anchorage, water and nutrient uptake, and presumably components of yield. This paper investigates the relationship between domestication, and the root systems ...

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...

barley is a kind of cereal that contains high amounts of β-glucan. β-glucan is a major component of soluble fiber implicated in hypocholesterolemia, hypoglycemia, diabetes and heart attacks. investigations show that hull-less barley has more β-glucan than hulled barley. in this study the physical and chemical properties of hull-less barley (ehds 18), wheat (zarrin) varitiese, barley flour, and ...

background and aims: to evaluate the effect of temperature on wheat streak mosaic virus (wsmv) resistance phenotype, through total protein, phenol, and peroxidase activity in bread wheat, a factorial experiment was conducted using adl-cross (resistant) and marvdasht (susceptible) cultivars. materials and methods: results showed that incubation at 32c changed the gene expression for resistance ...

Genetic improvement mainly depends on the extent of genetic variability present in the population. The molecular marker is a useful tool for assessing genetic variations and resolving cultivar identities. The objective of this study was to evaluate the genetic divergence of 12 rice land races using five SSR markers. A total of 11 alleles were detected in 12 land races and the number of alleles ...

among cereals, oats are unique for their benefiting from high protein as well as lipid content. however, insufficient gluten content creates a big challenge to making breads out of this kind of cereals. flour made of one type of bread wheat cultivar plus two types of improved oat lines were employed in this study to make composite oat-wheat flour bread. according to the data obtained from farin...

in order to increase drought tolerance in bread wheat, an appropriate breeding program based on inheritance of drought tolerance is recommended. in the present study, nine bread wheat cultivars and their f2 progenies were evaluated in a randomized complete block design under normal and drought stress conditions. nine sensitivity/tolerance indices were calculated for studied genotypes and stress...
