LIBRARY s-TORE Abstract: Characterisation of grain quality of Syrian durum wheat genotypes affecting milling performance and end-use quality. Jihad Samaan Durum wheat is a strategic crop in Syria produced in high quantities and used mainly for the production of Arabic bread, bulgur and pasta. This investigation is the first known systematic study relating the grain quality of nine domestic cultivars to milling performance and pasta quality in order to map the Syrian durum wheat characteristics onto the world market requirements and hence determine the potential export development. Furthermore, it examines the influence of environment, genotype and their interaction on the physiochemical characteristics of five durum wheat cultivars grown in five different locations under rainfed and irrigated conditions in Syria. AACC standard methods were principally used in this investigation. Despite the soundness of grains revealed by elevated test weight (83.1-85.9 kghr\ 1000 kernel weight (42.50-55.0 g) and falling number (433-597 sec), it is necessary to improve the kernel quality of Syrian durum wheat for the degree of vitreousness and total protein content (average quality data were 65% and 12.6% respectively) for better end-use product quality. In addition, irrigation demonstrated a significant effect on kernel quality traits, for example, irrigated samples showed the highest test weights. The importance of three physiochemical markers, namely total protein content, the degree ofvitreousness and kernel hardness was substantiated and presented useful indicators for future development in Syrian durum wheat breeding programmes. Optimum cooking time of pasta and cooked pasta firmness correlated significantly with final viscosity (r = 0.51, 0.73), dough development time (r = 0.69 and 0.63) and R.nax (r = -0.64, -0.43) which indicated that RV A, farinograph and extensograph techniques were useful indicators of the cooking properties of pasta. Overall, this study revealed that to achieve the aim of improving the domestic production and expanding the potential export of durum wheat crop in Syria, both genetic and agronomic improvements are still required.

  • Wheat and Gluten-Free Diet Jennifer Gentry, NMD 623-251-5518
    Wheat and Gluten-Free Diet Some symptoms of allergy or intolerance can be divided into three main types: “Classical” allergy: asthma, hay fever, eczema. Conditions associated with tissue damage: colitis, contact dermatitis, sinusitis, rheumatoid arthritis, miscellaneous rashes, nephritis, mouth ulcers, iritic. Symptoms associated with altered function: fatigue, depression, abdominal distension, headache, irritability, blurred vision, muscle pain, frequency, migraine, dizziness, bed-wetting, food cravings , palpitations, nausea, fluid gain, diarrhea, vomiting, weight gain, constipation, abdominal pain, insomnia, chills, hallucinations, menstrual disturbances. Gluten is the component of these grains that is often allergenic. Gluten is portion of grain which makes them sticky, thus allowing them to be kneaded into breads. Yet, there are many other delicious grains used extensively throughout the world, which do not contain gluten. The non-glutenous grains are amaranth, quinoa millet, buckwheat, rice and corn. Teff, spelt and kamut contain very low levels of gluten and are often more well tolerated by sensitive individuals.

  • Gluten-Free Food Labels
    GLUTEN-FREE DIET: FOOD LABELS Identifying Gluten in Packaged Foods The Food Allergen Labeling and Consumer Protection Act states ‘wheat’ must be listed on the food label when wheat is an ingredient in the item. This is not true for oats, barley and rye; food manufacturers do not have to declare oats, barley or rye in the allergen statement. If you are unsure about a product’s ingredients avoid it. Use these tips to help you make gluten-free food choices: 1. Read the allergen statement. If the product contains wheat, look for another option. 2. Read the ingredient list. Please refer the lists below for ‘gluten-free’ and ‘gluten-containing’ ingredients to decide if the food is gluten free or not. 3. Look for a statement regarding the facility in which the food was processed. If the food was processed in a factory that also processes wheat, then look for another option. Please note that it is not required to include a statement regarding the facility in which the food was produced on the label.

  • Dietary Avoidance – Wheat Allergy
    Dietary avoidance – wheat allergy Wheat is found in many foods and often in foods we do not suspect. Avoiding wheat is essential for individuals with confirmed wheat allergy. Therefore, it is important to read and understand food labels to be able to choose appropriate foods. The following foods and ingredients CONTAIN wheat and should be avoided: Atta flour Graham flour Wheat Bulgar Kamut Wheat bran Burghul Matzoh Wheat flour Cous cous Seitan Wheat germ Cracker meal Semolina Wheat meal Durum Spelt Wheat starch Farina Tabouleh Wheat berries Gluten Triticale Check labels on the following foods to see if they contain wheat and if they do, avoid them: Baked goods Flavouring (natural/artificial) Pasta/noodles Battered foods Hydrolysed vegetable protein Pastry/tarts Beer (HVP) Playdough Biscuits – sweet and savoury Ice cream cones Processed meats Bread (other than gluten free) Icing sugar Rusks Breadcrumbs Instant drink mixes Sauces/gravy mixes Breakfast cereal Liquorice Soy sauce Cakes/muffins Lollies Soups Canned soups/stocks Malt, malted milk Snack foods Cereal extract Mustard Starch Coffee substitutes Meat/seafood substitutes Stock cubes Cornflour (from wheat) Multigrain or wholemeal foods Surimi Donuts Pancakes/waffles Vegetable gum/starch The following ingredients are made from wheat but are tolerated by individuals with wheat allergy: Caramel colour. Glucose powder (from wheat). Dextrose (from wheat). Glucose syrup (from wheat). Gluten free foods Gluten is one of many proteins in wheat, barley, oats and rye. Most individuals with wheat allergy can tolerate oats, but the decision to include should be discussed with your allergy specialist. Approximately 20% of individuals with wheat allergy may be allergic to other cereals (such as barley, rye or oats).
