We investigated a method of baking bread from rice flour without the use thickeners such as gluten or polysaccharides. Rice flours with different crystallinities were prepared by shear and heat milling machine. The dynamic viscoelasticity resulting batters was measured baked these batters. Models proposed based on their macroscopic appearances mesoscopic polarized light microscopy images. It sh...

To evaluate the feasibility of substituting eggs in yellow cake by a mixture of soybean proteins, plant polysaccharides, and emulsifiers, the batter properties, including specific gravity and viscosity; cake properties, including specific volume, texture, colour, moisture, microstructures, and structural properties of starch and glutens of the replaced cake and traditional cake containing egg, ...

Results A 28 year-old female with a history of persistent allergic rhinitis and Arterial Tortuosity Syndrome had two episodes of anaphylaxis following a meal. In each instance she had ingested food cooked in batter. Skin prick tests to all foods ingested during the meals, including commercial wheat extract, were negative. Skin prick testing to wheat flour, white flour, the uncooked batter in qu...

In the present study the effect of Hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (HPMC) added to predust and batters of Talang queen fish (Scomberoides commersonnianus) nugget on the quality and its shelf life during four months of frozen storage were evaluated. The treatments consisted of control (without HPMC in coating), A (with 2%HPMC in pre-dust), B (with 2%HPMC in batter) and C (with 1% HPMC in pre-dust ...

Abstract The determination of the amount non-intact cells (ANIC) in ground beef products is usually performed using a time-consuming and subjective histometric approach neglecting structural properties, which why more objective faster methods including evaluation quality parameters are needed. To determine, whether addition meat batter increases histologically determined ANIC samples containing...

BACKGROUND Observing competitive games such as sports is a pervasive entertainment among humans. The inclination to watch others play may be based on our social-cognitive ability to understand the internal states of others. The mirror neuron system, which is activated when a subject observes the actions of others, as well as when they perform the same action themselves, seems to play a crucial ...

Oil structuring using food-approved polymers is an emerging strategy and holds significant promise in the area of food and nutrition. In the current study, edible oleogels (containing >97 wt% of sunflower oil) were prepared using a combination of water soluble food polymers (methylcellulose and xanthan gum) and further evaluated for potential application as a shortening alternative. Microstruct...

Cereal Chem. 76(5):682–687 The effects of starch type on the properties of baked starch foams were investigated. Starch types used for baking were normal corn, normal potato, waxy corn, high-amylopectin potato, wheat, and tapioca. Solids content of the starch batters used to bake foam trays ranged from 25 to 45%. Processing parameters and physical properties of the foams were examined. Starch-f...

If a batter can correctly anticipate the next pitch type, he is in a better position to attack it. That is why batteries worry about having signs stolen or becoming too predictable in their pitch selection. In this paper, we present a machine-learning based predictor of the next pitch type. This predictor incorporates information that is available to a batter such as the count, the current game...
