OBJECTIVES To explore salt content in bread and to evaluate the feasibility of reducing salt contained in 'pan francés' bread. DESIGN The study had two phases. Phase 1, an exploratory phase, involved the estimation of salt contained in bread as well as a triangle taste test to establish the amount of salt to be reduced in 'pan francés' bread without detection by consumers. In Phase 2, a quasi...

Phosphoinositides are involved in regulation of recruitment and activity of signalling proteins in cell membranes. Phosphatidylinositol (PI) 4-kinases (PI4Ks) generate PI4-phosphate the precursor of regulatory phosphoinositides. No type II PI4K research on the abiotic stress response has previously been reported in plants. A stress-inducible type II PI4K gene, named TaPI4KIIγ, was obtained by d...

the short arm of rye (secale cereale l.) chromosome 1 (1rs), besides being part of the rye genome, is present in many hundred wheat cultivars as either 1rs.1bl or 1rs.1dl wheat-rye translocation. in this study, the distribution of the wheat–rye translocation was examined in 33 iranian winter and spring wheat cultivars, nine of which had a known donor of 1rs.1bl translocation and the other 24 we...

When young plants o f barley and wheat grown in hydroponic culture were subjected to salt stress, their freezing tolerance increased with increasing severity o f salt stress. Detached leaves from salt-stressed plants also exhibited an increased ability to supercool. Avoidance o f ice for­ mation permitted leaf survival at subzero temperatures which were no longer tolerated when ice nucleation r...

Wheat flour is the main ingredient in bread processing. manufacturers produce quality wheat suitable for term of its chemical composition and rheological properties. This study compared four types flours (premium high protein, economic medium protein) produced by PT XYZ (namely GC, GE, KR BS) with other (TTK1 to TTK8) making sweet bread. Chemical (moisture, ash, protein gluten), Farinograph pro...

The seed storage proteins (SSPs) of cultivated wheat (Triticum aestivum and T. durum), namely, glutenin and gliadin, impart viscoelastic properties to bread dough, making wheat well suited for bread-making. Extensive studies on wheat SSPs have been carried out and revealed genetic diversity among wheat cultivars. Here, we review the studies of SSPs from more exotic species in the Triticeae trib...

INTRODUCTION Egypt has a high incidence of neural tube defects related to folate deficiency. One major food source for folate is pita (baladi) bread, which is consumed daily. Bioprocessing (e.g. germination) has been reported to increase the folate content in cereals. The aim was to produce pita bread with increased folate content using germinated wheat flour (GWF). METHODS Prior to milling t...

Plants have evolved several strategies, including regulation of genes through epigenetic modifications, to cope with environmental stresses. DNA methylation is dynamically regulated through the methylation and demethylation of cytosine in response to environmental perturbations. High-affinity potassium transporters (HKTs) have accounted for the homeostasis of sodium and potassium ions in plants...
