An AOAC collaborative study was conducted to evaluate the accuracy and reliability of an enzyme assay kit procedure for measuring oligofructans fructan polysaccharide (inulins) in mixed materials food products. The sample is extracted with hot water, aliquot treated a mixture sucrase (a specific sucrose-degrading enzyme), alpha-amylase, pullulanase, maltase hydrolyze sucrose glucose fructose, starch glucose. These reducing sugars are then reduced sugar alcohols by treatment alkaline...
Knowledge of the relative contributions genotype (G), environment (E), and interaction (G × E) effects on wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) quality leads to more effective selection in breeding programs segregation uniform parcels grain better suited needs customers. Their were reviewed using papers obtained from 4 major international databases. The literature is dominated by research North America, with lesser Europe, Australia, rest world. Use analysis variance partition sources variation due...
Abstract The effects of dietary protein on bone structure and metabolism have been controversial, with evidence for against beneficial effects. Because no long-term randomized, controlled studies performed, a two-year study supplementation in 219 healthy ambulant women aged 70 to 80 years was undertaken. Participants were randomized either high-protein drink containing 30 g whey (n = 109) or placebo identical energy content, appearance, taste 2.1 110). Both drinks provided 600 mg calcium....
The fatty acid composition of Western Australian commercial pasteurised milk was profiled using gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS). A total 31 acids (FA) were identified in the samples. majority FA medium-chain (MCFA) with 6-13 carbon atoms and long-chain (LCFA) 14-20 atoms. results principal component analysis (PCA) showed significant differences levels MCFA LCFA different ranged from 10.09 % to 12.12% 87.88% 89.91% FA, respectively. C10:0 C12:0 major components comprising 3.46%...
Fibre supplementation can potentially reduce energy intake and contribute to weight loss. The mechanism may be reduced frequency of eating, resulting in food consumption. objective this research was determine the effectiveness fibre with PolyGlycopleX® (PGX®), on body composition, eating dietary 118 overweight adults. In a three‐arm, parallel, blind, randomised controlled trial participants were one three groups; 4.5 g PGX as softgels (PGXS), 5 granules (PGXG) or rice flour (RF) control....
The malt parameters alpha-amylase, beta-amylase, limit dextrinase, protein and beta-glucan were each linearly related to the diastatic power measured in malted barley, with beta-amylase having highest coefficient of variation (r2 = 0.63). Multivariate regression analysis derived a model comprising alpna-amylase no significant interactions (p < 0.05). accounted for over 79% power. These three might be usefully targeted breeding programs aiming improve barley. samples from two harvests showed...
Previous research has not considered the effect of high amylose wheat noodles on postprandial glycaemia. The aim study is to investigate consumption glycaemia over 2-h periods by monitoring changes in blood glucose concentration and calculating total area under curve. Twelve healthy young adults were recruited a repeated measure randomised, single-blinded crossover trial compare consuming (180 g) containing 15%, 20% 45% Fasting concentrations taken via finger-prick samples. Postprandial at...
Abstract This study was conducted to evaluate the method performance of a rapid procedure for measurement α-amylase activity in flours and microbial enzyme preparations. Samples were milled (if necessary) pass 0.5 mm sieve then extracted with buffer/salt solution, extracts clarified diluted. Aliquots diluted extract (containing α-amylase) incubated substrate mixture under defined conditions pH, temperature, time. The used nonreducing end-blocked p-nitrophenyl maltoheptaoside (BPNPG7)...
Identify the extent of under-reporting energy intake and characteristics associated with implausible intakes in elderly women. Dietary was assessed using a 3-day weighed food record. Protein validated by 24-hour urinary nitrogen. To examine under-reporting, participants were grouped according to their compared Goldberg cut-off equation. Logistic regression performed assess influence body mass index (BMI) social-demographic factors on under-reporting. Community dwelling women from Perth,...
ABSTRACT Sensory evaluation showed panelists could detect small differences in gloss and translucency boiled white salted noodles (WSN) but sensory requires significant resources. Methods for the measurement of noodle WSN were developed effects hardness, protein, water addition, vacuum mixing on these visual characteristics color (as measured by CIE L *, a b *) investigated. Noodles derived from hard wheats at low flour protein contents more translucent than soft wheat protein. This trend...
ABSTRACT: Milk fat whiteness is the key to uniqueness of Western Australian milk. Following a controlled feeding regime, milk was collected fortnightly for 6 mo from 2 treatment groups: dryland and irrigation. The results showed that it possible produce high‐quality with whiter by regime diet while maintaining health Holstein‐Friesian cows. reflectance method using infinite optical thickness color differences due feed could be measured. After 8 wk study, significantly ( P < 0.05) than...
