_________________________________________________________________ ABSTRACT Brown flour was developed by incorporating different proportions of wheat bran i.e. 0, 5, 10, 15 and 20% into the residual flour (milling by-product of pizza flour). Each treatment of brown flour, wheat bran and whole wheat flour was subjected for proximate composition and iron content. The highest iron content was obser...

Wheat irrigated with nutrient solutions containing 0, 0.2, 0.5, 1, 2, or 6 millimolar K(+) had maximum photosynthetic rates at 1 to 2 millimolar K(+) concentrations. Rates in the 6 millimolar K(+)-grown plants were not higher than the 2 millimolar K(+)-grown wheat, and rates were inhibited below 0.5 millimolar K(+). Photosynthesis was measured by both attached whole leaf CO(2) uptake and by (14...

BACKGROUND Many children do not eat enough whole grains, which may have negative health consequences. Intervention research is increasingly focusing on nudging as a way to influence food choices by affecting unconscious behavioural processes. The aim of this field study was to examine whether the shape of bread rolls is able to shift children's bread choices from white to whole wheat during bre...

BACKGROUND Epidemiological studies associate consumption of whole grain foods, including breads, with reduced cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk; however, few studies have compared wheat whole grains with wheat refined grains. METHODS This study investigated effects of 6-week consumption of whole grain wheat sourdough bread in comparison to white bread on fasting serum lipids in normoglycemic/...

BACKGROUND Studies that use dietary biomarkers to investigate the association between whole-grain intake and the risk of developing type 2 diabetes (T2D) are lacking. OBJECTIVE We examined the association between plasma total alkylresorcinols and the alkylresorcinol C17:0-to-C21:0 ratio, biomarkers of whole-grain wheat and rye intake and relative whole-grain rye over whole-grain wheat intake,...

Wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) is one of the most commonly cultivated and consumed cereals throughout the world. Though phytochemicals and antioxidants in the cereal grains have not been studied as in fruits and vegetables, given the role of wheat in our diet plate, it is a given of primary importance to understand the chemistry of our major food, wheat. The presence of diverse polyphenols and th...

The changes in yields and nutritive composition of whole crop wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) during maturation and effects of maturity stage and lactic acid bacteria (LAB) inoculants on the fermentation quality and aerobic stability were investigated under laboratory conditions. Whole crop wheat harvested at three maturation stages: flowering stage, milk stage and dough stage. Two strains of LAB ...

current study was done to determine the concentration of heavy metals including lead and cadmium and nutrients element copper and zinc in a simple and whole wheat macaroni in the valid different supermarkets in the city of tehran. 254 samples from seven iranian simple macaroni , four foreign simple macaroni and two iranian whole wheat macaroni were purchased consecutively in 3 seasons of 2015. ...

The effect of wheat flour refined milling on nutritional and antioxidant quality of hard and soft grown in Ethiopia was evaluated. Bread was prepared with the supplementation of the white wheat flour with different levels (0%, 10%, 20%, and 25%) of wheat bran. Whole (100% extraction) and white wheat (68% extraction) flours were analyzed for proximates, minerals, and antioxidants. Results indica...
