Authors: Wu Y. V. , Bett K. L. , Palmquist D. E. , Ingram D. A. 
Published: June 2007

ABSTRACTCorn gluten meal is a high‐protein product from wet milling of corn. Substitution of 15% of the flour weight by corn gluten meal increased protein content of brownies from 6.3 to 8.0%. Sensory evaluation of brownies with 0, 10, and 15% corn gluten meal, with and without an added masking agent, showed addition of corn gluten meal to brownies did not have any detrimental effect as judged by trained sensory panelists.
Effect of Roll Fluting Disposition and Roll Gap on Breakage of Wheat Kernels During First‐Break Roller Milling
Authors: Fang Chaoying , Campbell Grant M. 
Published: June 2007

ABSTRACTBreakage of wheat kernels during first‐break roller milling depends on many factors, including the disposition of the fluted rolls: sharp‐to‐sharp, sharp‐to‐dull, dull‐to‐sharp, or dull‐to‐dull. Wheat kernel breakage under different dispositions during milling was studied using high‐speed video imaging. The results show significant slippage between kernels and the flutes when a dull working angle is used, especially when the dull angle is on the fast roll. Experiments were conducted to compare the size distributions resulting from the four dispositions. Representative hard and soft wheat cultivars were milled using fluted rolls at five different roll gaps, and the resulting size distribution of the milled stocks was measured by sieve analysis. A sharp‐to‐sharp disposition gave a relatively uniform or straight line size distribution over the particle size range of 212–2,000 μm. By contrast, a dull‐to‐dull disposition gave a U‐shaped distribution with more larger and smaller particles and fewer in the middle size range. The size distributions from the other two dispositions lay between these, giving a transition from a straight‐line distribution for sharp‐to‐sharp disposition, slightly U‐shaped for sharp‐to‐ dull, more curved for dull‐to‐sharp, and highly U‐shaped for dull‐to‐dull. The effect of roll gap was to change the balance between large and small particles.

ABSTRACTCommon wheat adulteration of durum wheat pasta was quantified using real‐time duplex polymerase chain reaction (PCR). The total DNA content of pasta was determined by amplifying part of a wheat gene encoding a lipid transfer protein, and common wheat DNA was quantified by amplifying part of the puroindoline‐b gene. Under the conditions defined by this study, for pasta with a theoretical adulteration of 3%, the experimentally determined mean value was 2.6–3.4%, depending on drying temperature. Pure durum wheat pastas were distinguished from adulterated pastas without ambiguity. This study demonstrates the feasibility of using real‐time duplex PCR to quantify common wheat adulteration of pasta dried at high temperature, quantification that was impossible with the French official peroxidase‐marker method.
Creep‐Recovery of Wheat Flour Doughs and Relationship to Other Physical Dough Tests and Breadmaking Performance
Authors: Wang F. C. , Sun X. S. 
Published: June 2007

ABSTRACTMeasurements of creep‐recovery of flour‐water doughs were made using a dynamic mechanical analyzer (DMA) in a compression mode with an applied probe force of 50 mN. A series of wheat flour and blend samples with various breadmaking potentials were tested at a fixed water absorption of 54% and farinograph optimum water absorption, respectively. The flour‐water doughs exhibited a typical creep‐recovery behavior of a noncross‐linked viscoelastic material varying in some parameters with flour properties. The maximum recovery strain of doughs with a fixed water absorption of 54% was highly correlated (r = 0.939) to bread loaf volume. Wheat flours with a large bread volume exhibited greater dough recovery strain. However, there was no correlation (r = 0.122) between maximum creep strain and baking volume. The maximum recovery strain of flour‐water doughs also was correlated to some of the parameters provided by mixograph, farinograph, and TA‐XT2 extension.
Effects of Storage Temperature and Kernel Physical Condition on Popping Qualities of Popcorn Hybrids
Authors: Park Donkeun , Maga Joseph A. 
Published: June 2007

ABSTRACTEffect of storage temperature before popping and kernel physical properties on popping characteristics were studied using popcorn (Zea mays L.) hybrids harvested in 1997. Popped volume (PV), unpopped kernel ratio (UPK), and popping times were measured from 250 g of moisture‐adjusted kernels stored at 30, 1, and −29°C for one month. Maximum popped volume (MPV) and minimum unpopped kernel ratio (MUPK) at the corresponding optimum moisture contents (OMC) were mathematically calculated from PV, UPK, and moisture content values. MPV was significantly affected by storage temperature before popping. Hybrid significantly affected MPV and MUPK. Moisture content, storage temperature, and hybrid significantly varied popping time of the popcorn hybrids, with moisture content being the most important. Correlation results showed that MPV was negatively correlated with unsound kernel ratio, UPK, and popping time. Moisture adjustment of intact kernels should be done at different storage conditions; high temperature storage required higher moisture than low temperature storage to give the best outcome.
Adaptation of AACC Method 56‐11, Solvent Retention Capacity, for Use as an Early Generation Selection Tool for Cultivar Development
Authors: Bettge A. D. , Morris C. F. , DeMacon V. L. , Kidwell K. K. 
Published: June 2007

ABSTRACTThe solvent retention capacity (SRC) profile is useful for studying flour components contributing to end‐use functionality. The method tests four different solvents with 5 g of flour each. Because of the amount of grain (30–40 g) typically needed to produce 20 g of flour for the SRC test, the method is not well‐suited for assessing end‐use quality of early generation breeding material, where grain quantities are limited. The method was therefore modified to require only 0.2 g of ground wheat instead of 5 g of flour per SRC solvent. The small‐scale SRC results using whole meal had correlations of r = 0.86 for lactic acid, r = 0.85 for sodium carbonate, r = 0.78 for sucrose, r = 0.74 for sodium bicarbonate (the alkaline water retention capacity method) and r = 0.69 for water when compared with SRC values from full‐scale tests using 5 g of flour. Overall, cultivars with SRC values at the extremes of the distribution were in the same ranked order for the small‐ and large‐scale SRC test results. However, variation in ranked order of cultivars between test methods was detected among samples that were not at the extremes of the distribution. Traditionally, successful wheat breeding strategies involve eliminating or advancing lines from the extremes of the distribution to increase the proportion of desirable genotypes within breeding programs. Results indicated that advancing promising germplasm or eliminating germplasm with inferior end‐use quality potential is possible using the small‐scale SRC technique to evaluate early generation wheat breeding material, as a sort of breeding triage.

Published: June 2007

ABSTRACTSequential extraction processing (SEP) is a new approach to fractionating dried, flaked corn using 95% ethanol. In the original process, corn oil was extracted at 76°C in a countercurrent mode while simultaneously dehydrating the ethanol. This resulted in 20% of the protein (predominantly zein) coextracting with the oil. The process was modified to reduce the amount of coextracted protein. One modification (mSEP1) was to use a blend of 30% hexane and 70% ethanol at 56°C. A second modification (mSEP2) used a longer extraction column (L/D ratio 15) to replace the column with L/D 2 used in the original SEP system. To determine the effect of the modifications on oil quality, the quality of the crude corn oils produced from the modified SEP processes were compared with the quality of oil from the original SEP. To evaluate the quality of the three crude oils produced by SEP with the process typically used in industry, they were compared with the quality of laboratory hexane‐extracted corn oil. The results of the three SEP oils exhibited larger concentrations of fatty acids, phospholipids, and carotenoids, smaller concentrations of triacylglycerols, and darker red color than the hexane‐extracted oil. The oils from the two modified SEP processes contained smaller concentrations of free fatty acids and phospholipids and larger concentrations of triacylglycerols and carotenoids than the original SEP oil. In spite of the improvements to the oil through process modifications, the mSEP1 and mSEP2 oils exhibit greater refining losses than hexane‐extracted oil.

Published: June 2007

ABSTRACTStarches from garden orach (Atriplex hortensis) and sweet quinoa (Chenopodium quinoa Willd. ‘Surumi’) seeds were isolated, examined for compositional characteristics, and compared with bitter quinoa (Cheno‐podium quinoa Willd.) starch. Garden orach and sweet quinoa seeds were similar in fat and ash contents, while garden orach seeds contained ≈10% more protein. Starches were isolated from seeds following a 12‐hr soak in dilute alkaline solution using a series of grinding, screening, centrifugation, and washing steps. Isolated starches viewed by scanning electron microscopy yielded angular, polygonal granules ≈1–2 μm in diameter. Starches displayed typical A‐type crystalline packing arrangements as determined by X‐ray powder diffractometry. Apparent amylose contents for garden orach (21.2%), sweet quinoa (20.6%), and bitter quinoa (19.8%) were determined according to colorimetric procedure. Differential scanning calorimetry data indicated a higher and wider gelatinization temperature range for garden orach as compared with sweet and bitter quinoa starches. Starch pasting profiles generated using a Rapid Visco Analyser indicated a reduced peak paste viscosity for garden orach starch relative to sweet and bitter quinoa and common corn starches.
Pulsed Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (PNMR) Study of Rice Starch Retrogradation
Authors: Yao Yuan , Ding Xiaolin 
Published: June 2007

ABSTRACTAlthough pulsed NMR (PNMR) has been used for qualitative study of starch retrogradation in selected systems, validation is necessary for its application to new systems. PNMR was used to analyze the retrogradation of rice starches in purified form, in rice flour, and in cooked rice grains. The standard curves between the relative solid content (S′, %) by PNMR and the percentage of gelatinized starch (GS, %) were determined for common rice flour, common rice starch, and waxy rice starch at different moisture contents. The coefficients of linear regression for these curves (R2) were all >0.997. Starches with different amylose contents were tested for S′ values at the stages of freshly gelatinized, retrograded (4°C, 18 days), and reheated (90°C, 20 min). The S′ of reheated starch (S′reheat) was similar to the S′ of freshly gelatinized starch (S′0), so we concluded that the increase in S′ during storage corresponded to amylopectin retrogradation. The effect of moisture content on retrogradation of rice starch, rice flour, and cooked rice grains was studied by PNMR, and the data were interpreted using the Avami equation. Decreasing the moisture content increased the rate of retrogradation and led to a higher parameter k and a lower parameter n. For moisture content in the range studied, PNMR can be used to follow amylopectin retrogradation of different rice starch systems.
Quantitative Variation of HMW Glutenin Subunits from Hard Red Spring Wheats Grown in Different Environments
Authors: Zhu J. , Khan K. 
Published: June 2007

ABSTRACTThe objective of this study was to investigate the quantitative variation of HMW glutenin subunits in relation to glutenin polymers and hence breadmaking quality across different environments. Six genotypes of hard red spring (HRS) wheat were grown at seven locations in North Dakota in 1998 in a randomized complete‐block experimental design with three replicates at each location. Unreduced SDS‐soluble glutenins of flour were fractionated by multistacking SDS‐PAGE into different sized glutenin polymers, followed by SDS‐PAGE and imaging densitometry to determine the quantitative variation of HMW glutenin subunits. SDS‐insoluble glutenin polymers also were examined for their quantitative composition of HMW glutenin subunits. The results showed that the percentage of HMW glutenin subunits was significantly affected by growing locations. The quantity of HMW glutenin subunits in SDS‐insoluble glutenins was significantly and positively correlated with loaf volume. SDS‐insoluble glutenin polymers had a higher percentage of HMW glutenin subunits than did SDS‐soluble glutenins. SDS‐insoluble glutenin polymers in flour were positively and significantly correlated in proportions of both total and individual HMW glutenin subunits in total SDS glutenins. SDS‐insoluble glutenin polymers also were positively and significantly correlated with the combined proportion of HMW glutenin subunits 2* + 5. The results of this study indicated that either subunit 2* or 5 might be more important in forming a greater quantity of larger SDS‐insoluble glutenin polymers than other subunits. SDS‐insoluble glutenin polymers from different cultivars or locations could have different quantities of HMW glutenin subunits in their composition. SDS‐insoluble glutenin polymers with more HMW glutenin subunits might be larger sized than those with less HMW glutenin subunits. Environment significantly influenced the quantitative variation of HMW glutenin subunits, which in turn affected the size distribution of glutenin polymers, and hence breadmaking quality.
Mechanical Behavior of Oats: The Groat Effect
Authors: Engleson J. A. , Fulcher R. G. 
Published: June 2007

ABSTRACTTo evaluate the mechanical behavior of groats with constant mass and moisture content, individual groats were compressed along the major axis between parallel flat plates. Compression versus tension testing was adapted easily to groats, which are weaker along the major axis. Regression of maximum apparent stress on moisture content suggested that the proportionality constant was a function of an undefined biological difference (UBD) among tested samples and the y‐intercept depended on groat mass and UBD. No brittle‐ductile transition in the range of 9–30% moisture was observed regardless of genotype. Groats in general tended to fail by plastic compression at low moisture content (9–10%). Groats at high moisture content (>12%) generally buckled and burst near the midpoint of the crease, suggesting higher stress around the crease regardless of genotype. Apparent maximum stress should be considered as an average for a genotype. Knowledge of specific groat characteristics (including but likely not limited to mass and moisture) and how they influence apparent mechanical behavior should lead to improvements in oat milling.
Cross‐Linked Resistant Starch: Preparation and Properties
Authors: Woo K. S. , Seib P. A. 
Published: June 2007

ABSTRACTResistant starches (RS) were prepared by phosphorylation of wheat, waxy wheat, corn, waxy corn, high‐amylose corn, oat, rice, tapioca, mung bean, banana, and potato starches in aqueous slurry (≈33% starch solids, w/w) with 1–19% (starch basis) of a 99:1 (w/w) mixture of sodium trimetaphosphate (STMP) and sodium tripolyphosphate (STPP) at pH 10.5–12.3 and 25–70°C for 0.5–24 hr with sodium sulfate or sodium chloride at 0–20% (starch basis). The RS4 products contain ≤100% dietary fiber when assayed with the total dietary fiber method of the Association of Official Analytical Chemists (AOAC). In vitro digestion of four RS4 wheat starches showed they contained 13–22% slowly digestible starch (SDS) and 36–66% RS. However after gelatinization, RS levels fell by 7–25% of ungelatinized levels, while SDS levels remained nearly the same. The cross‐linked RS4 starches were distinguished from native starches by elevated phosphorus levels, low swelling powers (≈3g/g) at 95°C, insolubilities (<1%) in 1M potassium hydroxide or 95% dimethyl sulfoxide, and increased temperatures and decreased enthalpies of gelatinization measured by differential scanning calorimetry.
Dynamic and Elongation Rheology of Yeasted Bread Doughs

Published: June 2007

ABSTRACTThe rheology of yeasted bread doughs is a little‐studied field despite yeast's importance in developing bread structure. A method of thermally inactivating the yeast within mixed bread doughs was developed to overcome the difficulty of yeast fermenting during rheological measurements. Sample stabilization by preshearing of dough samples at a stress amplitude of 1 Pa at 1 Hz for 10 sec improved the reliability of small amplitude oscillatory shear measurements, and resting 20 min within the rheometer was sufficient to produce reliable and consistent observations. Small amplitude oscillatory shear measurements were unable to detect any differences between yeasted and nonyeasted doughs nor any changes in linear viscoelastic properties due to fermentation. However, large strain uniaxial elongation measurements of yeasted doughs revealed a significant progressive decrease in elongational viscosities with fermentation. Size‐exclusion HPLC analysis of yeasted doughs showed an increase in unextractable polymeric dough proteins, which were interpreted as evidence of cross‐linking and therefore a potential improvement in dough properties. The apparent contradictions between uniaxial elongation and SE‐HPLC studies of fermenting yeasted doughs can be attributed to gas bubbles within the dough interrupting the increasingly cross‐linked protein network, resulting in the rheological weakness observed for fermenting yeasted doughs.

Published: June 2007

ABSTRACTSmall starch granules from wheat and amaranth were isolated and examined by light microscopy (wheat), scanning electron microscopy (wheat and amaranth), and rapid viscosity (RVA) analysis. The isolated wheat and amaranth starches were incorporated into reduced‐fat frozen dessert mixes (2%, w/w) and the frozen desserts were characterized by sensory analysis for smoothness, creaminess, and preference. The results of the sensory analysis suggest that up to 50% of the fat in a frozen dessert may be replaced when substituted by these starches at the 2% level (w/w).
Soft Wheat Starch Pasting Behavior in Relation to A‐ and B‐type Granule Content and Composition

Published: June 2007

ABSTRACTFlours of two soft wheat cultivars were fractionated into native, prime, tailing, A‐, and B‐type starch fractions. Starch fractions of each cultivar were characterized with respect to A/B‐type granule ratio, amylose content, phosphorus level (lysophospholipid), and pasting properties to investigate factors related to wheat starch pasting behavior. While both cultivars exhibited similar starch characteristics, a range of A‐type (5.7– 97.9%, db) and B‐type granule (2.1–94.3%, db) contents were observed across the five starch fractions. Though starch fractions displayed only subtle mean differences (<1%) in total amylose, they exhibited a range of mean phosphorus (446–540 μg/g), apparent amylose (18.7–23%), and lipid‐complexed amylose (2.8–7.5%) values, which were significantly correlated with their respective A‐ and B‐type granule contents. A‐type (compared with B‐type) granules exhibited lower levels of phosphorus, lipid‐complexed amylose, and apparent amylose, though variability for the latter was primarily attributed to starch lipid content. While starch phosphorus and lipid‐complexed amylose contents exhibited negative correlation with fraction pasting attributes, they did not adequately account for starch fraction pasting behavior, which was best explained by the A/B‐type granule ratio. Fraction A‐type granule content was positively correlated with starch pasting attributes, which might suggest that granule size itself could contribute to wheat starch pasting behavior.
Effect of a Cell‐Wall‐Degrading Enzyme Complex on Starch Recovery and Steeping Requirements of Sorghum and Maize

Published: June 2007

ABSTRACTThe effect of a commercial cell‐wall‐degrading enzyme (CWDE) complex on the steeping time and starch yields of white regular sorghum (RSOR) compared with yellow maize (YMZ) was determined. An in vitro wet‐milling method standardized to test dosages of 0–120 fungal β‐glucanase units (FBG)/100 mL indicated that starch yields were significantly higher for YMZ than RSOR and increased proportionally as enzyme dosage increased. A factorial experiment with a level of confidence of P < 0.05 was performed to study the effect of CWDE addition to coarsely ground grains for 4 hr after 20 or 44 hr of SO2 steeping of whole grains. At both regular steep times, YMZ yielded significantly higher amounts of starch than RSOR. When steep times were compared, grains soaked for 48 hr produced 1.7% higher starch yields than counterparts treated for 24 hr. CWDE significantly increased starch yields and recoveries. Enzyme‐treated grains yielded 2.5% more starch than counterparts steeped regularly. For both grains, the best wet‐milling conditions to obtain the highest amount of starch were 48 hr of steeping and CWDE addition. Under these conditions, YMZ and RSOR yielded 66.9 and 66.6% starch, respectively. Starches obtained after the enzyme treatment at both steep times contained higher amounts of residual protein and ash compared with the untreated counterparts. Rapid viscoamylograph properties of YMZ and RSOR starches were not affected by the use of the CWDE nor the steep time. In comparison with RSOR starch, the YMZ starch initiated gelatinization at lower temperature, had less shear thinning and higher viscosity or setback at the end of cooling.

Published: June 2007

ABSTRACTStarch‐lipid composites are a new category of fat replacers. The physicochemical properties of reconstituted corn starch and soybean oil composites (CSSBOC) were evaluated and compared with the properties of reconstituted jet‐cooked corn starch (JCCS). Gel firmness, thermal properties, and hot pasting properties at two pH levels and two oil content levels were studied. Amylose content of CSSBOC was unaffected by processing. Buffer pH significantly affected the firmness of the gels made with JCCS. Gels appeared to have a more ordered structure and were firmer at pH 3.4 than at pH 6.0. The firmness of gels made with CSSBOC was not affected by pH or oil content. Retrogradation enthalpy of the gels made with JCCS was significantly affected by pH. Differences in the thermal characteristics of gels made with CSSBOC were attributed to pH and oil content. Peak viscosity, cold paste viscosity, and breakdown viscosity changed significantly when CSSBOC pastes were reconstituted in different pH buffers. Only hot paste viscosity and cold paste viscosity changed significantly when JCCS pastes were reconstituted in different pH buffers. Results establish critical parameters for processing decisions and for the understanding of the behavior of CSSBOC in food system models in which pH is an important factor.
