In this study, the interactions of wheat starch (WS) and tannic acid (TA) were investigated for their gelatinization, pasting, structural, rheological properties digestibility starch. TA was either complexed with (WS-TA complexes) or mixed mixtures) right before characterization its properties. The increase melting enthalpy temperature range (Tpeak - Tonset) associated amylose-lipid complex in ...

A study was made of dietary influences on the large intestinal microbiota of pigs and on the incidence of swine dysentery (SD) after experimental infection with Brachyspira hyodysenteriae, the aetiological agent of SD. Animals were fed diets based either on wheat (expts 1 and 2) or sorghum (expt 2). Grains were ground and fed either raw or after high temperature and pressure extrusion and/or af...

The objective of this trial was to determine lactation performance responses in high-producing dairy cows to a reduced-starch versus a normal-starch diet and to the addition of exogenous amylase to the reduced-starch diet. Forty-five multiparous Holstein cows, 68±29 d in milk and 696±62 kg of body weight (BW) at trial initiation, were randomly assigned to 1 of 3 treatments in a completely rando...

Starch is quantitatively the most important nutrient in poultry diets and will to a large extent be present as intact starch granules due to very limited extent of gelatinization during pelleting. Although native starch is difficult to digest due to a semi-crystalline structure, even fast-growing broiler chickens appears to be able to digest this starch more or less completely during passage th...

Bone like hydroxyapatite (nHAp) was synthesized via an in situ biomimetic process in presence of wheat starch. The effect of polymer concentration alteration on the final structure of nHAp was investigated. Formation of the nHAp at room temperature was confirmed by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR). Size and morphology of the nHAp samples were character...

Grading factors associated with adverse growing conditions in Canada and the United States affect the edibility and end-use performance of common wheat. Mycotoxins are associated with fungal infections like fusarium head blight and ergot. Mycotoxins partition themselves among wheat milling products, and are relatively stable throughout wheat end-use processing. Fusarium head blight also has adv...

ABSTRACT: Mayonnaise is probably one of the most widely used sauces worldwide. The oil content of traditionally mayonnaise is more than 65%. Fat has a role in creating viscosity, color and texture but might cause many diseases and disorders in human. In this study the influence of modified wheat bran as a fat replacer on the rheological properties of low fat mayonnaise was studied and compared ...

Two experiments were conducted to evaluate the effects of adding an exogenous fibrolytic enzyme (FE) on ruminal pH and fermentation, digestibility, and growth performance of feedlot beef cattle fed a finishing diet containing wheat dried distillers grains with solubles (DDGS). In Exp. 1, 4 ruminally cannulated Angus heifers (average BW of 807 ± 93.9 kg) were used in a replicated 4 × 4 Latin squ...

Cereal Chem. 72(1):38-41 Physical properties of two biological cushioning materials made from dates were significantly higher than those of the wheat starch extrudates. wheat and corn starch extrudates were compared with those of commercial Both biological cushioning materials showed similar water absorption plastic foam cushioning material. Characteristics measured included isotherms at three ...

An enzymatic method based on hydrolysis of starch by amyloglucosidase and measurement of d-glucose released by glucose oxidase-peroxidase was developed to measure both gelatinized starch and hydrolyzable starch in situ of dried starchy products. Efforts focused on the development of sample handling steps (particle size reduction of dry samples followed by a unique mechanical resolubilization st...
