The Science of Wheat Flour

consumption throughout the world. Wheat flour which is usually used to make instant noodles has low fibre and protein contents (lysine). Legumes are becoming popular in various food applications as it is rich in fibre and protein. This study was carried out to establish the proportions of cowpea flours that would produce good quality noodles, in composite with soft wheat flour. Up to 50% cowpea flour substitutions were made. The following parameters were investigated on the flours: functional properties and

1970’s, Australian wheat farmers were suffering because their wheat crop was being bought at a reduced rate due to high alpha amylase activity (Csiro). This was caused by LMA, or late maturity alpha amylase. LMA is a genetic defect that causes high alpha amylase activity before harvest (Csiro). This meant that the wheat could not be stored as long and had poor milling qualities. As a result, in 1980, Australians recognized late maturity alpha amylase as a genetic defect in their wheat, along with pre-harvest

discussion here is wheat. Wheat can be classified as a necessary commodity and not a luxury commodity. According to the Free Dictionary online (2012), necessary commodities are those whose demand is constant, it is a staple produce or product that can be processed and resold .

“Scientific literacy is knowing science as a way of thinking, finding, organising and utilising information to make decisions” (Rennie, 2005). Evaluation I have planned and chosen the curriculum links aligned with the activity and the outcome. I have carefully planned the resources/ materials required for the experiment, including plain flour, soft icing mixture and corn flour, water and food colouring. I believe that children would be engaged and motivated in the experiment, as they observe my

THE EFFECT OF AMYLASE ON BREAD What is bread? Bread is a food made of flour, water, and yeast mixed together and baked. In bread making, our main focus will be on the enzyme amylase. In wheat, there is naturally appearing amylase. Amylase in the shape of malted barley can be mixed with flour in minor amounts to achieve a proper balance of enzymes. The key purpose of amylase in wheat flour is to break down complex starches into simple sugars. Without this key process happening in the dough, fermentation

The debate regarding wheat isn’t looking good so far, but the proof is in the gluten. Traditional wheat only contains 5% gluten. Purchasing organic heritage wheat will cut the bad gluten by up to 45%. Modern wheat has been linked to reducing the blood flow to the frontal cortex of the brain. “Of the 15 untreated celiac patients, 11 (73%) had at least one hypoperfused brain region, compared with only 1 (7%) of the 15 celiac patients on a gluten-free diet and none of the controls (P = 0.01). Cerebral

away from dog foods that don 't contain meat, but meat by-products. By-products can mean any part of an animal except meat; they are waste products, and may not even contain any protein. Stay away from corn, or any type of grain product, particularly flour; dogs are usually allergic to these food. Avoid preservatives, chemicals, artificial flavors and colorants. And stay away from menadione, a synthetic version of vitamin K (Called
