The relationship between starch physical properties and enzymatic hydrolysis was determined using ten different hulless barley genotypes with variable carbohydrate composition. included one normal (CDC McGwire), three increased amylose starches (SH99250, SH99073, SB94893), six waxy Alamo, CDC Fibar, Candle, Waxy Betzes, Rattan, SB94912). Total concentration positively influenced thousand grain weight (TGW) (r2 = 0.70, p < 0.05). Increase in protein not only related to total −0.80, 0.01) but...
Abstract Plants by virtue of its composition containing multiple constituents developed during growth under various environmental stresses providing a plethora chemical families with medicinal utility. Researchers are exploring this wealth and trying to decode utility for enhancing health standards human beings. Diabetes is dreadful lifestyle disorder 21st century caused due lack insulin production or physiological unresponsiveness. The chronic impact untreated diabetes significantly affects...
The nutritional quality of common wheat-based foods can be improved by adding flours from whole pulses or their carbohydrate and protein constituents. Faba bean (Vicia faba L.) is a pulse with high concentration. In this study, prepared (FB) were added to wheat based baked crackers. Wheat cracker recipes modified substituting forty percent flour bean, starch enriched (starch 60%), concentrate (protein 60%) isolate 90%). Baked crackers ground into meal analyzed for macronutrient composition,...
Glycemic response, a trait that is tedious to be assayed in cereal staples, has been identified as factor correlated with alarmingly increasing prevalence of Type II diabetes. Reverse genetics based discovery allelic variants associated this nutritional gains significance they can provide scope for genetic improvement which otherwise difficult target through routine screening methods. Through EcoTILLING by sequencing 512 rice accessions, we report the six deleterious genes potential increase...
Nuclear and radiological emergencies (NREs) occurred globally recent incidences in India are indicating toward the need for comprehensive medical preparedness required both at incident site hospitals. The enhanced threat attributed insurgency is another causative factor of worry. response capabilities operational readiness responders (both health non-health service providers) contaminated environment to be supported by advancement R & D technological efforts develop prophylactics radiation...
Near-isogenic wheat ( Triticum aestivum L.) lines differing at the Waxy locus were studied for influence of genome-specific granule-bound starch synthase I (GBSSI/Waxy; Wx-A, Wx-B, Wx-D) on composition, structure, and in vitro enzymatic hydrolysis. Grain amylose concentration, amylopectin unit-chain length distribution, granule size distribution varied with loss functional GBSSI. Amylose concentration was more severely affected genotypes GBSSI missing from two genomes (double nulls) than one...
In recent years, a lot of interest has been generated world over in the area radioprotection for first responders going to work hot zones at incident site. A large number molecular drugs have screened radioprotective efficacy, but with little success. The requirement differential necessitates holistic approach, which can be realized using herbs view their multifaceted mode action. Our earlier studies showed potential Rhodiola imbricata, Himalayan high-altitude plant. this study, our focus...
Microscope analysis of starches prepared from 139 barley genotypes identified a Japanese genotype, Kinai Kyoshinkai-2 (KK-2), with altered starch granule size distribution. Compared to normal starch, KK-2 produced consistently higher volumes granules 5–15 μm diameter and reduced >15 when grown in different environments. A cross between cultivar CDC Kendall was made led the production 154 F5 lines alterations 7:3:1 distribution for A-:B-:C-type volumes. Three showed unimodal due apparent lack...
Aims: Evaluation of natural antioxidant potential Kalanchoe pinnata leaves attributable towards its therapeutic properties.Study Design: In vitro experiments to validate in aqueous and lipid phase.Methodology: The aqueous-alcoholic whole leaf extract designated as KPE (K.pinnata extract) was subjected comprehensive biochemical analysis reveal strength an antioxidative agent.In protection ability assay where phase (preemulsion) prepared using linoleic acid with Fe 2+ , 3+ Cu stress-inducers,...
ABSTRACT Starch granule composition and amylopectin structure affect starch digestibility, an important factor influencing wheat grain utilization for human food consumption. Six bread cultivars with four belonging to the Canada Western Red Spring (CWRS) two Prairie (CPSR) market classes were analyzed relationship between their constituents in vitro enzymatic hydrolysis of starch. CPSR had higher amylose concentrations compared CWRS cultivars, which a protein concentration. size distribution...
