Ninety-two rice (Oryza sativa L.) genotypes were evaluated during kharif 2013 to estimate the genetic variability, heritability and correlation coefficients for 14 physicochemical and cooking quality traits. The experiment was conducted in a complete randomized block design with 3 replications. Highly significant (P < 0.01) differences were observed for all 14 quality characters studied. Among ...

Pollen load samples from 10 hives of Apis mellifera (L.) were analyzed based on their physicochemical composition and botanical source, considering color as a parameter for quality control. In seven samples it was possible to establish the occurrence of more than 80% of a single pollen type, characterizing them as unifloral but with protein content variation. One of the samples was exclusively ...

Lysophospholipids (LPLs) are the most abundant polar lipids in wheat endosperm and naturally complex with amylose, affecting starch physicochemical properties. We analyzed LPLs in wheat flour from 58 cultivars which differ by grain hardness using liquid chromatography mass spectrometry (LCMS). There were significant differences in LPL content between cultivars, demonstrating that genotype rathe...

During the last decade much effort has been made on estimating the spatial variation of the grain quality in full-scale field trials exploring the potentials of real-time grain quality measuring systems. This has often been made by hand harvesting within a grid setup. However, when performing full-scale field trials it is preferable to collect the grain sample directly from the grain flow passi...

In this study, the physical (color, grain size, equivalent diameter, sphericity, kernel surface area, volume, thousand weight, hectoliter dry weight and wet weight), physicochemical (technological) (dry water absorption capacity, index, swelling gluten Zeleny sedimentation delayed sedimentation) chemical (moisture, protein contents) properties of most grown bread wheat varieties (Triticum aesti...

physicochemical and mechanical properties of wheat grains can have a great impact on the quality of the final products (bread). therefore, correct selection of wheat cultivar for specific applications seems to be crucial. in this study, the differences in the physicochemical and mechanical properties (under compression and impact loadings) of ten iranian wheat cultivars (azar2, alamut, bam, bah...

With the increasing greenhouse effect, high temperature has become most unfavorable environmental factor for rice grain filling process, affecting yield and quality mainly through changing composition structure of starch in grains. Research focused on rational management water fertilizer, spraying exogenous chemicals, which have important measures to alleviate stress rice. As a multifunctional ...

Tempering-drying time may affect the quality of polished rice. Hence, this study aims to evaluate effect drying-tempering and air temperature relationships on physical, physicochemical, morphological qualities Herein, paddy with 20–24% (w.b.) moisture were subjected drying tempering temperatures 75–115 °C, 115–130 75–130 °C over 14 h reduce their content up 12% (w.b.). With increase in mass 49 ...
