With the ever-increasing global demand for high quality rice in both local production regions and with Western consumers, we have a strong desire to understand better importance of different traits that make up grain obtain full picture demographics. Rice is by no means 'one size fits all' crop. Regional preferences are not only striking, they drive market hence major economic any breeding / improvement strategy. In this analysis, engaged experts across world perform assessment all trait...
Phaseolus vulgaris L. is the most commonly consumed legume in world, given its high vegetable protein content, phenolic compounds, and antioxidant properties. It also represents one of sustainable, low-carbon sources food available at present to man. This study aims identify nutrients, antinutrients, composition, profile 10 common bean cultivars (Arikara yellow, butter, cranberry, red kidney, navy, pinto, black, brown eyed, pink tarrestre) from two harvest years, thereby assessing potential...
Legumes are an important and sustainable source of protein, dietary fiber phytochemicals. Due to their composition, legumes have been used in enriched foodstuffs recognized as a vital food resource for human diet, reducing the risk cardiovascular disease cancer. In last years, order replace conventional analysis, more eco-friendly faster methodologies applied evaluate legumes' quality. The aim this review is encourage consumption production by promoting dissemination, understanding...
ABSTRACT The progenies of four intervarietal durum wheat crosses were used to determine the effects glutenin variants coded at Glu‐1 and Glu‐3 loci on quality properties. F 2 lines analyzed for high molecular weight (HMW) low (LMW) composition by electrophoresis. Whole grain derived 3 4 samples vitreousness, protein, dry gluten contents, index, SDS sedimentation volume, mixograph, alveograph Allelic variation Glu‐B1 Glu‐B3 affected significantly. Comparisons among indicated that LMW subunits...
An Ultra-High Performance Liquid Chromatography combined with Time-of-Flight Mass Spectrometry (UHPLC-ToF-MS) method has been developed for determination of nine mycotoxins, namely aflatoxins (AFB1, AFB2, AFG1 and AFG2), ochratoxin A (OTA), zearalenone (ZEA), toxin T2 (T2) fumonisins (FB1 FB2) in maize. The included a two-step extraction acetonitrile 80% (v/v). After optimization, the analytical was validated. different concentrations tested take account Maximum Levels (ML) maize (Commission...
The main goal of this study was to test the ability an artificial neural network (ANN) for rice quality prediction based on grain physical parameters and conduct a comparison with multiple linear regression (MLR) using 66 samples in duplicate. used are related biochemical composition (starch, amylose, ash, fat, protein concentration) pasting (peak viscosity, trough, breakdown, final setback). These were estimated appearance (length, width, length/width ratio, total whiteness, vitreous...
Maize is an important worldwide commodity susceptible to fungal contamination in the field, at harvest, and during storage. This work aimed determine occurrence of Fusarium spp. maize grains produced Tagus Valley region Portugal levels related mycotoxins 2018 harvest their storage for six months barrels, mimicking silos conditions. Continuous monitoring temperature, CO2, relative humidity were done, as well concentration evaluated correlated with presence F. verticillioides was identified...
Quinoa is an Andean grain, classified as pseudocereal and the exploitation of its nutritional profile great interest for cereal-based industry. The germination quinoa seeds (white red royal) was tested at 20 °C different times (0, 18, 24 48 h) to select best conditions improving quality their flours. Changes in proximal composition, total phenolic compounds, antioxidant activity, mineral content, unsaturated fatty acids essential amino profiles germinated were determined. In addition,...
Bread is a highly consumed food whose nutritional value can be improved by adding an oat flour (Avena sativa L.-variety Bonaerense INTA Calen-Argentina) to high-industrial quality wheat (Triticum aestivum L.). This cultivar of contains high amounts β-glucans, which act as prebiotic fiber. Wheat was complemented with different (5, 15, and 25%). A contribution hydrophilic components from evident in the oat-wheat mixtures. At same time, content total dietary fiber led changes rheological...
Protein-based foods based on sweet lupine are gaining the attention of industry and consumers account their being one legumes with highest content proteins (28-48%). Our objective was to study thermal properties two flours (Misak Rumbo) influence different amounts flour (0, 10, 20 30%) incorporations hydration rheological dough bread quality. The thermograms both showed three peaks at 77-78 °C, 88-89 °C 104-105 corresponding 2S, 7S 11S globulins, respectively. For Misak flour, higher energy...
Maize is a significant crop to the global economy and key component of food feed, although grains whole plants can often be contaminated with mycotoxins resulting in general exposure population animals. To investigate strategies for control at grain production level, pilot study exploratory research were conducted 2019 2020 compare levels treated two fertilizers, F-BAC Nefusoil, under real agricultural environment. The 1650 selected from 33 samples assessed presence both Fusarium species...
Fumonisins occurrence in maize represents a significant global challenge, impacting economic stability and food safety. This study evaluates the potential of near-infrared (NIR) spectroscopy combined with chemometric algorithms to detect fumonisins maize. For fumonisin B1 (FB1) B2 (FB2) levels were developed predictive NIR models using partial least squares (PLS) artificial neural networks (ANN). PLS demonstrated strong correlation coefficient (R2) values 0.90 (FB1), 0.98 (FB2), 0.91 (FB1 +...
Pesticides are vital for protecting crops from diseases but pose risks to human health and the environment, requiring careful evaluation. This study examines pesticide residues in rice strategies their removal. Brown, long-milled, basmati-milled samples were spiked with 121 pesticides different categories (e.g., carbamates, organophosphates, neonicotinoids, triazolobenzothiazoles) at 20 50 μg/mL evaluate residue levels. extracted using QuEChERS (quick, easy, cheap, effective, rugged, safe)...
Pea is one of the most produced and consumed pulse crops around world. The study genetic variability within pea germplasm an important tool to identify outstanding accessions with optimal functional nutritional qualities. In present study, a collection 105 was analysed for physicochemical properties, pasting viscosity, basic composition parameters. While viscosities were negatively correlated hydration capacity, cooking time, composition, positive correlation found between capacity Basic...
