Soft white winter club wheat (Triticum aestivum L. ssp. compactum) is a specialty class of soft prized for its end-use quality. Our goal was to develop broadly adapted cultivar targeted the U.S. Pacific Northwest (PNW) with competitive agronomic and quality characteristics. ‘Castella’ (Reg no. CV-1185, PI 695319), tall semi-dwarf awnless white-kernel wheat, selected using bulk-pedigree breeding...

In this work we compared the efficiency of a laccase treatment performed on steam-exploded wheat straw pretreated under soft conditions (water impregnation) or harsh conditions (impregnation with diluted acid). The effect of several enzymatic treatment parameters (pH, time of incubation, laccase origin and loading) was analysed. The results obtained indicated that severity conditions applied du...

Arabinoxylans and glutenins are two critical network-forming polymeric components of wheat flours, functionally related to mixing and baking performance and baked goods quality. For soft wheat flour applications, solvent-accessible arabinoxylans (pentosans) play a dominant role in both sweet and savory products. Solvent retention capacity (SRC) testing (Approved Method 5611, AACC International ...

Increased consumption of whole grain cereal products has broad health benefi ts. Using an experimental whole grain fl our-milling system, we evaluated soft wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) winter wheat genotypes in whole grain fl our for use in cookies. Grain from 14 soft winter wheat cultivars grown in two locations within two crop years was milled using a short-fl ow fl our mill to produce white ...

Phaeosphaeria nodorum (E. Muller) Hedjaroude (anamorph = Stagonospora nodorum (Berk.) Castellani & E.G. Germano) causes Stagonospora nodorum blotch (SNB), a disease of wheat (Triticum aestivum) leaves, stems, and glumes. SNB occurs persistently, but with varying degrees of severity, in the eastern U.S. soft red winter wheat region. Acceptable levels of partial resistance are available in adapte...

Wheat of medium hardness with marbled endosperm (transitional form between hard and soft wheat) in which glassy floury zones alternate, almost exclusively available assortment for brewing needs Southeastern Europe. The aim this work is to establish the influence grain texture degree milling on attenuation limit wheat wort obtained from type wheat. worts using hard, transitional, or were produce...

a 3*2*2 factorial experiment was conducted to study the effect of feeding whole wheat (0, 10, and 20%), a microbial enzyme source (arabino-xylanase based enzyme for wheat at 0% and 0.1%) and 0% or 1% insoluble grit (number 3 layer size) on the performance of white leghorn hens at 19 to 54 weeks of age. each dietary treatment was replicated four times with ten hens, housed two to a cage, eac...
