In soft wheat breeding programs, the gluten strength of flours from specific genotypes is determined by various chemical and rheological tests. Based on such tests, the experimental wheat lines with very weak flour gluten are typically selected for the production of soft-dough biscuits, while the lines with medium gluten strength and extensibility are reserved for hard-dough biscuits. Often, the genotypes having high gluten strength are removed from such breeding programs. In the present study, the usability of the GlutoPeak tester on whole wheat flour samples was investigated for assessing the gluten strength of soft wheat breeding materials. In the study, 25 soft wheat genotypes, grown in seven locations for three years, were categorized by commonly used gluten-quality-related parameters. Based on the results of the study GlutoPeak whole wheat flour PMT values ranging from 30.0 to 50.0 s and AM values from 15.0 to 20.0 GPU were found to be suitable for soft-dough biscuit products, whereas the values between 40.0 and 60.0 s and 20.0 and 23.0 GPU were appropriate for hard-dough biscuit products. The genotypes exhibiting AM values > 24.0 GPU and PMT values > 60.0 s were judged to have too-strong gluten, and thus eliminated from the breeding program. The gluten aggregation energy (AGGEN), and the torque after the maximum torque (PM) values were only useful and applicable to flours for soft-dough products. The maximum torque (BEM) values were not effective in discriminating against the genotypes. The results of this study demonstrated that the GlutoPeak whole wheat PMT and AM parameters can be recommended as quick and accurate parameters especially for early generation screening with small-scale tests in soft wheat improvement programs. 相似文献

Avenanthramides (AVNs), a group of phytochemicals which are unique to oats, provide health benefits through antioxidant activity and other bioactivities. In this study, we explored genotype-by-environment interactions and heritability for AVN concentrations in oats. Avenanthramide concentrations were quantified for 100 breeding lines and cultivars at three locations over two years. While year and environment had an influence on AVN concentrations, with the influence of year being more apparent than that of environment within a year, genotype had the largest impact on AVN concentration. All three major AVNs were found to be heritable. Two methods of calculating heritability on a line mean basis were used. The statistical method yielded heritability estimates of 0.34, 0.39, and 0.41 for AVN 2c, AVN 2p, and AVN 2f, respectively. By comparison the traditional plant breeding method yielded heritability estimates of 0.82, 0.88, and 0.89 for AVN 2c, AVN 2p, and AVN 2f, respectively, indicating that expected gains will be dependent on the scale of the breeding program, the number of target environments, and climate variability. The estimated heritabilities and the 11-fold range in AVN concentrations in the 100 genotypes studied provided evidence that variability for AVN concentration should allow breeding progress for higher AVN concentration. 相似文献

High temperature stress during ripening increases the frequency of chalky grains, resulting in a lower market value for rice (Oryza sativa L.). Changes in starch properties and the accumulation pattern of storage proteins are proposed to be related to the occurrence of chalky grains. This study investigated changes in the accumulation of key storage compounds in the grains of Japanese highly palatable rice cultivars, subjected to high temperature stress when grown in a growth chamber and the field. The 13 kDa prolamin content was significantly reduced in a highly heat-sensitive cultivar, Tsukushiroman, whereas the 13 kDa prolamin content was not affected in a heat-tolerant cultivar, Genkitsukushi, even in a high temperature chamber condition (31/26 °C day/night), when compared with the control chamber condition (26/21 °C day/night) for both genotypes. In addition, grains grown in field conditions revealed that severely chalky grains had less 13 kDa prolamin than perfect grains in all five genotypes. Changes in amylose content and the distribution of amylopectin chain lengths did not explain the difference in grain appearance both for chamber and field experiments. These results strongly suggest that physiological processes linked with the synthesis of 13 kDa prolamin are associated with grain appearance in Japanese highly palatable under high temperature stress. 相似文献

Methodology for the quantitative analysis of intact glutenin proteins by ESI-LC-MS was developed with 1 Da mass resolution, constituting the first published application of proteoform profiling to plant biology. Two parent lines and 28 F5 crosses were analyzed in two blocks, 14 months apart. Control sample data were used to align retention times and normalize abundance between sample sets. A total of 4622 observations of 347 distinct proteoforms between 17 899 and 88 744 Da were observed. Proteoform abundances spanned a 1000-fold range and were linear (r2 > 0.990) with dilution. A novel method for the objective elimination of low intensity, noise-dominated data using replicate variability within the dataset is presented. Two abundant PTMs were detected; one known but uncharacterized Bx and Dy high-molecular-weight glutenin subunit (HMWGS) PTM and the other in 24 low molecular weight proteoform pairs. Finally, 16 abundant proteoforms were detected in progeny but not in either parent. This application should increase the statistical power of correlations between gluten complement and functional data and drive the detection of novel PTMs that may indicate differential regulation of the cellular processes related to quality. 相似文献

Waxy and non-waxy hull-less barley kernels and their isolated starches were irradiated under different microwave conditions (power 640, 720, and 800 W, time 60, 120 and 180 s). Changes in physicochemical properties were studied to investigate the effects of microwave irradiation (MWI) on in-kernel starches and isolated starches. For in-kernel starch, microwave reduced the ratio of 1047/1022 cm−1 wavelengths, gelatinization enthalpy (ΔHg) and relative crystallinity (RC), indicating that microwave of starch within the cells disrupted the crystalline regions. For isolated starch, microwave decreased the ratio of 1047/1022 cm−1 wavelengths but increased ΔHg of isolated starch, indicating that microwaving resulted in disruption of amorphous structure and an increase in the amount of remaining double helix structure. Moreover, viscosities of in-kernel starches decreased as microwave power and time increased, but this was not observed in isolated starches. Microwave treatment induced an enhancement of gelatinization temperature for non-waxy starches (NWS) but decreased in waxy starches (WS). Microwave had a greater effect for swelling power and solubility on in-kernel MWI-WS than MWI-WS, whereas the reverse results were found between in-kernel MWI-NWS and MWI-NWS. The results indicated that amylose plays a profound role in the properties of isolated and in-kernel starches during microwaving. 相似文献

Rice fragrance, cooked rice elongation and amylose content are some of the traits used in determining rice grain quality. 2-acetyl-1-pyrroline (2-AP) is the major compound that is responsible for fragrance in rice.This experiment was conducted with two indica rice cultivars: Meixiangzhan 2 and Xiangyaxiangzhan. Three temperature-controlled chambers: High (32 °C from 06:00 to 17:59 and 26 °C from 18:00 to 05:59), medium (27 °C from 06:00 to 17:59 and 21 °C from 18:00 to 05:59) and low (22 °C from 06:00 to 17:59 and 16 °C from 18:00 to 05:59) were used for the study. At the onset of heading, both cultivars were transferred to the three temperature-controlled chambers. Our results showed that in both cultivars, low temperature growth had the highest 2-AP content, while high temperature growth recorded the lowest 2-AP content. Principal component analysis showed remarkable differences in the metabolomes of rice grown in high, medium and low regimes. In the grains of both cultivars, we observed significant reduction in 2-AP content after 6 and 9 months of storage, however; 2-AP retention differed greatly in both cultivars. We also reported that low temperature growth increased cooked rice elongation percentage and the biosynthesis of amylose in rice. In conclusion, our findings will provide more information to breeders working on the improvement of rice grain quality. 相似文献

Celiac disease (CD) is an immune-mediated disease triggered by wheat gluten and related prolamins. A lifelong gluten-free (GF) diet is mandatory to normalize the intestinal mucosa. We previously found that transamidation by microbial transglutaminase of gluten was effective in suppressing the gliadin-specific inflammatory response in CD patients without influencing the main technological properties of wheat flour or semolina. In this study, we produced on a pilot scale a soluble form of transamidated gluten (soluble protein fraction, spf), characterised by a high protein content (88 mg/ml), while native gluten was dramatically reduced (32 ± 2 ppm; R5-ELISA). Using HLA-DQ8 transgenic mice as a CD model, we found suppression of interferon-γ secretion in gliadin-specific CD4+ T cells challenged with spf-primed dendritic cells. In terms of functional properties, spf showed both solubility and emulsifying activity values within the range of commercial soluble glutens. Notably, dough prepared by mixing rice flour with spf could leaven. After baking, blended rice bread had a higher specific volume (2.9 ± 0.1) than control rice bread (2.0 ± 0.1) and acquired wheat-like sensory features. Taken together, our results highlighted the technological value of transamidated soluble gluten to improve both nutritional and sensory parameters of GF food. 相似文献

In order to deepen insight into durum wheat prolamin composition in relation to both end use quality and gluten related disorders, a phenotyping of four genotypes of different release date and technological performance was carried out. A proteomic approach integrated with the evaluation of protein aggregation level, amino acid composition and reactivity to G12 monoclonal antibody, was adopted. The degree of polymerization, estimated as unextractable polymeric proteins (UPP), was positively influenced by Cys-rich proteins (Glu-B3 LMW-GS), with Saragolla showing up to 40% higher values than other genotypes. The proteomic assessment allowed to identify proteins involved in gluten related disorders. In particular, ω5-gliadin involved in wheat allergy (WA), resulted markedly over-expressed in the old landrace Dauno III, up to four-fold than in modern Saragolla. A marked influence of genotype on the expression level of gliadins containing toxic epitopes (TECP) was observed with the more recent genotypes showing lower values (−53%). Also, reactivity to G12 moAb resulted higher in the two old genotypes consistently to their higher celiac disease (CD) toxicity evaluated by the proteomic approach. In conclusion a better gluten composition for processing seems to be associated to a lower expression level of CD toxic peptides and Tri a 19. 相似文献

The increase in ethanol production continues to drive the availability of distillers' grains, which are used as an animal feed for cattle, swine and poultry. In its wet state this co-product of the ethanol production process must be fed or treated before spoiling and reaching its shelf-life, only 3–5 days after production. Novel treatment technologies, such as high voltage atmospheric cold plasma (HVACP), continue to show promise as a method to increase the shelf-life of many products such as contaminated animal feed. This study investigated the parameters grain depth, amount of sample and exposure time, for effective treatment of distillers’ grains to increase shelf-life using HVACP. This work evaluates the different combinations of treatments to determine, which parameters are critical for reduction in microbial growth and increase shelf-life. The efficacy of the reactive gas species (RGS) produced by HVACP, at 70 kV for up to 360 s, moving through the grain mass of distillers wet grains (DWG) was evaluated by measuring microbial load (log reduction), moisture content and pH after 0, 14 and 28 days of storage at 25 °C at grain depths of 1, 2.5 and 4.5 cm. Results showed a higher log reduction at the 1 cm depth than at 2.5 and 4.5 cm for measurements after the initial treatment. Stored samples continued to show reductions, however the greater depths had higher log reductions than the surface. Nutrient composition and amino acid profiles were also analyzed, showing no significant difference between treated and untreated samples over the storage period. 相似文献

Arabinoxylans (AX) are part of dietary fiber. They are currently under study due to their potential prebiotic effect. Wheat whole grain flours contain all the grain layers and, therefore, present a higher arabinoxylan content than white flour. It is known that the chemical structure of these compounds varies with the type of wheat cultivar and the tissue from which they are extracted. In this work, water soluble extractable arabinoxylans (WE-AX) from two types of wheat whole flours (hard and soft) were extracted. We characterized the molecular size distribution and the potential prebiotic effect of those extracts. The prebiotic effect was evaluated in vitro and confirmed in vivo. Bacterial group abundance (Lactobacillus, Bifidobacterium, Clostridium, Enterococcus, Bacteriodes and total bacteria) was determined by quantitative RT-PCR. The molecular size of AX from hard wheats was significantly higher than AX from soft wheats. Both extracts showed potential prebiotic activity by increasing the growth of beneficial bacteria in vitro and in vivo, decreasing the pathogens in the profile of intestinal microorganisms and increasing the amount of short chain fatty acids in the intestine. WE-AX from hard wheat showed a higher prebiotic activity. Prebiotic effect assessed in vitro and in vivo assays showed a significant correlation between both types of analysis. This finding suggests that the in vitro indices performed allow predicting the potential prebiotic effect in vivo. 相似文献

Germinated rice is popularly consumed for its high gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) and bioactive compounds. Supporting information on how to germinate rice with high GABA content and essential amino acids is lacking. White and colored rough rice were germinated for 0, 24, 48, 72, 96, 120 and 144 h. GABA, GABA substrates and essential amino acids were also investigated using GC-MS and MALDI-MSI. GABA was more concentrated after germination and shifted into the coleoptile. High correlation was recorded between germination time and GABA (0.79–0.83, p ≤ 0.01) and glutamic acid (0.88–0.89, p ≤ 0.01). Highest rates of GABA and glutamic production were observed within 48 h of germination in both rice varieties (26.12 and 34.28 mg/100g) and reached maximum value at 96 h (31.36 and 38.75 mg/100g). Colored rice germination showed higher GABA, GABA substrates and deficient amino acids than white rice. GABA and essential amino acids drastically increased after germination, supporting the consumption of germinated rice as a functional food. 相似文献

Durum wheat is an important food crop used primarily for pasta production. High-molecular-weight glutenin subunits (HMW-GS) encoded by the closely linked genes Glu-B1x and Glu-B1y are known for their combined effects on pasta quality, but their individual contributions and interactions remain poorly understood. In this study, we show that individual loss-of-function mutants of Glu-B1x (ΔBx6) and Glu-B1y (ΔBy8) were associated with significant reductions in gluten strength compared to the wildtype, with stronger effects in the ΔBxy double mutant. Reductions in gluten strength were reflected in reduced mixograph and alveograph parameters, gluten index, faster extrusion flow rates and increased cooking loss. Interestingly, the Glu-B1x mutation was also associated with significant increases in grain and semolina protein content, increased pasta firmness, reduced starch viscosity and increased amylose in ΔBx6 and ΔBxy. In general, the ΔBx6 mutation had stronger effects than the ΔBy8 mutation, and significant interactions between the two genes were frequent. In addition to the basic knowledge gained on the individual effects of the Bx6 and By8 subunits and their interactions, the genetic stocks developed in this study provide useful tools to study the effects of natural or synthetic HMW-GS on pasta quality parameters in a background lacking endogenous HMW-GS. 相似文献

A rising global population necessitates continued genetic improvement of wheat (Triticum spp.), but not without monitoring of unintended consequences to processors and consumers. Our objectives were to re-establish trends of genetic progress in agronomic and milling traits using a generational meter stick as the timeline rather than cultivar release date, and to measure correlated responses in flour quality and human wheat-sensitivity indicators. Grain yield and kernel size showed stepwise increases over cycles, whereas wheat protein content decreased by 1.1 g/100 g. Reduced protein content, however, did not result in lower dough strength pertinent to bread baking. A novel method of directly testing gluten elasticity via the compression-recovery test indicated a general increase in gluten strength, whereas the ratio of total polymeric to total monomeric proteins remained stable. Also showing no change with genetic progress in yield were flour levels of gluten epitopes within the key immunotoxic 33-mer peptide. The oligosaccharide fructan, present in milled and wholemeal flours, increased with increasing grain yield potential. While yield improvement in U.S. bread wheat was not accompanied by a decline in gluten strength or systematic shift in a key wheat sensitivity parameter, the unanticipated rise in total fructans does implicate potentially new dietary concerns. 相似文献

Traditional sweet corn is poor in provitamin-A, lysine and tryptophan, deficiency of which causes serious health problems. Here, parental lines of two shrunken2 (sh2) -based sweet corn hybrids viz., ASKH-1 and ASKH-2 were targeted for introgression of crtRB1 and opaque2 (o2) genes through marker-assisted backcross breeding. Gene-based markers; umc1066 (SSR) and 3′TE-InDel were utilized for foreground selection of o2 and crtRB1, respectively in BC1F1, BC2F1 and BC2F2 generations. Background selection employing 102–113 polymorphic SSRs led to >90% recovery of recurrent parent genome. Reconstituted hybrids recorded high mean provitamin-A (18.98 μg/g) with a maximum of 7.7-fold increase over original hybrids (3.12 μg/g). High mean lysine (0.39%) and tryptophan (0.10%) with an average enhancement of 1.71- and 1.79-fold, respectively was recorded among reconstituted hybrids over original versions (lysine: 0.23%, tryptophan: 0.06%). Improved hybrids exhibited high phenotypic resemblance with their original hybrids. The average cob yield (11.82 t/ha) and brix (17.66%) of improved hybrids was at par with their original versions (cob yield: 11.27 t/ha, brix: 17.04%). These biofortified sweet corn hybrids rich in provitamin-A, lysine and tryptophan hold immense significance as multinutrient-rich balanced food. This is the first report to stack sh2, crtRB1 and o2 genes to improve nutritional quality in sweet corn. 相似文献

Arabinoxylan is an important hemicellulose potentially affecting wheat baking qualities, barley malt quality, and may impart prebiotic benefits. Water-extractable (WEAX) and total arabinoxylan (TOAX) were characterized in 204 wheat and barley accessions, respectively, using an orcinol-ferric chloride assay. WEAX measurement accuracy was optimum when glucose concentration was greater than 12–13 times pentose concentration. The modified method removed enough excess glucose spectral absorbance to make the corrected and uncorrected lines different, but still significantly correlated (p = 0.009, R = 0.94). Mean WEAX (expressed as percentage WEAX of TOAX) for the wheat accessions was 15.90%, ranging from 8.82% to 24.87%, and for barley accessions WEAX the mean was 7.10%, and ranged from 2.98% to 13.86%. Conclusions are 1) the assay is useful for a breeding program because of its semi-high throughput design for the simultaneous analysis of 16 (WEAX) to 40 (TOAX) barley lines or 24 (WEAX) to 40 (TOAX) wheat lines, 2) the trichromatic measurement reduces the impact of glucose, and 3) the broad range of WEAX measured showed that barley and wheat accessions vary in their extractable and unextractable components. 相似文献

Cereals and pulses often contribute to the intake of Fermentable Oligo-, Di-, Monosaccharides, and Polyols (FODMAPs) due to high amounts of fructans or galactooligosaccharides (GOS). FODMAPs can trigger symptoms of Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) and therefore, the development of foods and beverages with a lower FODMAP-content are favourable for IBS patients. Enzyme technology is a promising tool to reduce the FODMAP-content in foods and to maintain product quality. This fundamental study investigates the efficiency of invertase, inulinase, and α-galactosidase as potential food additives to reduce the total FODMAP content of food ingredients. Extracts of high FODMAP ingredients, such as wheat and lentil, and standard solutions of various fructans and GOS were incubated with invertase, inulinase and α-galactosidase for 1 h and 2 h. Contents of oligosaccharides before and after treatment and related IBS-triggering reaction products were quantified using ion chromatography. Inulinase showed a high degradation yield (over 90% of degradation) for both GOS and fructans. For invertase only low degradation yields were measured. α-Galactosidase showed the highest efficiency in decomposing GOS (100% of degradation) and led to non-IBS triggering degradation products. This indicates a high potential for a combined inulinase/α-galactosidase treatment for products containing both fructans and GOS. 相似文献

Frozen-cooked noodles (FCN) and its components undergo quality changes during frozen storage, such as reduced textural and cooking qualities, weakened gluten network, and damaged starch properties; thus, storage condition is a critical factor affecting the final quality of FCN. In this study, in view of the thermoirreversible high-strength gel property (at ≥ 80 °C) of curdlan, strong hydrophilicity, and freeze-thawed stability of high-strength gel prepared from curdlan powder, the effect of curdlan on the quality of FCN during frozen storage was first evaluated. The results showed that curdlan was effective in reducing cooking loss, enhancing water absorption, and improving textural properties of FCN; the improving effect presented a trend of first increasing and then decreasing with the amount of increasing curdlan (0.1%–0.9%); and the addition of 0.5% curdlan was most effective in improving the quality of FCN. Thermal gravimetric analysis indicated that curdlan enhanced thermal stability of FCN, implying curdlan could strengthen the gluten network. Meanwhile, structural observations revealed that, during frozen storage, FCN with added curdlan exhibited a more continuous and compact gluten network accompanied with more uniform and smaller ice crystals. Thus, curdlan is desirable to be used as a novel gum in FCN to provide specific functionality and minimize the negative effect of frozen storage. This study provides new insights into the quality improvement of FCN and further expands the application potential of curdlan in food industry. 相似文献

The health-promoting properties of the grains of common wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) are associated with the presence of unique phytochemicals. This study determines the profile of alkylresorcinols (ARs) and benzoxazinoids (BXs) in T. aestivum spring and winter cultivars grown in Poland under the two different production systems: conventional and organic. Wheat grain extracts were subjected to qualitative and quantitative UPLC-UV-MS/MS analyses. The ARs profile consisted of five 5-n-alkylresorcinol derivatives, among which 5-n-heneicosylresorcinol (C21:0) and 5-n-nonadecanylresorcinol (C19:0) predominated; while six different BXs were determined in hydrothermally treated grains. Our research shows significant differences in the contents of ARs and BXs among wheat cultivars, as well as the two production systems used. Organically grown varieties had their total contents of ARs and BXs significantly higher than those grown conventionally. Another aim of the study was to determine the antioxidant capacity of alkylresorcinol extracts from tested wheat cultivars. The quantitative TLC-DPPH• method for determining the antiradical capacity of wheat ARs extracts was developed. We observed a positive relationship between the free radical scavenging activity of extracts and the total amount of ARs. The biological activity research is important for developing value-added wheat cultivars, having an improved profile and composition of nutritional substances. 相似文献

The starchy endosperm of the mature wheat grain comprises three major cell types, namely sub-aleurone cells, prismatic cells and central cells, which differ in their contents of functional components: gluten proteins, starch, cell wall polysaccharides (dietary fibre) and lipids. Gradients are established during grain development but may be modified during grain maturation and are affected by plant nutrition, particularly nitrogen application, and environmental factors. Although the molecular controls of their formation are unknown, the high content of protein and low content of starch of sub-aleurone cells, compared to the other starchy endosperm cells types, may result from differences in developmental programming related to the cells having a separate origin (from anticlinal division of the aleurone cells). The gradients within the grain may be reflected in differences in the compositions of mill streams, particularly those streams enriched in the central and outer cells of the starchy endosperm, respectively, allowing the production of specialist flours for specific end uses. 相似文献
