sclerotinia sclerotiorum is a phytopathogenicfungus that attacks more than 400 plant species of them medicinal plant. in this study the extract obtained from basal stalk rot of helianthus annuus l., attacked by s. sclerotiorum, was subjected to the analysis of ftir to identify the presence of beta-glucan. ft-ir spectrum showed four ranges of bands in 890 cm-1, two overlap band in 1047 and 1078 ...

barbari is a common iranian flat bread that has a short shelf life. the effect of low density polyethylene/clay nanocomposite film was investigated for the package and shelf life of the flat bread when stored at different temperatures and relative humilities with different percentages of nanoparticles. nanoclay concentrations of 2% and 6% were used for the nanocomposite and pure polyethylene wa...

There is a growing global concern over the implication of gluten consumption in the everincreasing incidence of coeliac disease (CD), and the gliadin fraction of wheat has been implicated in this life-long intolerance in genetically predisposed individuals. Bread was therefore produced from various blends of maize, cassava, soybeans and pigeon pea flour. Bread from white wheat flour served as c...

White bread loaves prepared from wheat flour and the addition of different levels of acidulants, i.e. acetic and lactic acid with calcium propionate, were evaluated for their microbial shelf life as well as sensory quality characteristics during 96 h of storage. Among the sensory characteristics for the different treatments, volume of bread, color of crust, symmetry of form, crust characteristi...

OBJECTIVE Bread is the largest contributor of Na to the American diet and excess Na consumption contributes to premature death and disability. We sought to determine the Na level at which consumers could detect a difference between reduced-Na bread and bread with typical Na content, and to determine if consumer sensory acceptability and purchase intent differed between reduced-Na bread and brea...

In this study, a new application of pumpkin pulp in bread production is shown. The aim of this work is to determine the influence of the addition of fresh pumpkin pulp directly into wheat flour on physical, sensorial and biological properties of bread. The bioaccessibility of active compounds was also studied. An increase in the addition of pumpkin pulp from 5 to 20% (converted to dry matter) c...

due to the positive effects of fiber on human health, production and distribution of high fiber containing foods is on the increase. amongst different foods, bread is a suitable option to convey fiber in human diets. flat breads which are very common in asian countries, are mainly produced from white flour and hence are low in fiber. the main objectives followed in this study were to produce hi...

Dehydrated uncooked potato (Irish and sweet) flour was blended by weight with commercial wheat flour at 0 to 10% levels of substitution to make bread. Comparative study of the microbial and nutritional qualities of the bread was undertaken. The total aerobic bacterial counts ranged from 3.0 × 10(5) cfu/g to 1.09 × 10(6) cfu/g while the fungal counts ranged from 8.0 × 10(1) cfu/g to 1.20 × 10(3)...
