This project sought to determine the value of RNA-Seq experiments as a basis for establishing a set of protein sequences to represent a nonmodel organism, in this case, the pseudocereal chia.

It belongs to the family Polygonaceae and genus (Fagopyrum spp.) Buckwheat is adaptable to extreme cold temperatures, stress conditions of water, less soil fertility and varying climatic conditions, making it a sustainable crop. A literature search on Buckwheat was done using PubMed and Google search engines and reviewed to prepare an overview of its cultivation, nutritional and health value. In India, twenty species of Buckwheat are cultivated across various hilly regions. Out of these only nine species have desirable nutritional value and two are commonly grown. They are Fagopyrum esculentum Moench (Common buckwheat) and Fagopyrum tataricum (Tartary buckwheat). However, the cultivation of Buckwheat has declined in the 20th century making it an underutilized crop. Buckwheat has good amount of nutrients and many health benefits. There is a need to research about this under-utilized crop and create awareness as this crop has many nutritional and health benefits.

The aim of this study was to evaluate the use of hull as a functional additive in yoghurt and to determine the effect of various doses of buckwheat and spelt hull on the physicochemical, organoleptic and microbiological properties of yoghurt. The enrichment of yoghurt with buckwheat and spelled hull resulted in a decrease in total acidity and a decrease in syneresis. Addition of spelt and buckwheat hulls to yoghurts reduced the colour brightness and increased the intensity of the red and yellow colours. The highest number of S. thermophilus was found in yoghurt containing 3% buckwheat hull and the beneficial effect of the addition of hull on L. bulgaricus growth was demonstrated. The type of hull determined the flavour and odour of yoghurts. Spelt hull gave the yoghurts a more intense floury and grainy flavour than buckwheat hull. Keywords: yoghurt, buckwheat hull, spelt hull, dietary fibre INTRODUCTION Food industry companies have high expectations in terms of food products that meet the consumers’ demand for a healthy lifestyle. In this context, functional food plays a special role, as apart from its fundamental goal, which is nutrition, it also has the psychological or physiological impact on the human body (Menrad, 1990).

  • Buckwheat Seeds: Impact of Milling Fractions and Addition Level on Wheat Bread Dough Rheology
    applied sciences Article Buckwheat Seeds: Impact of Milling Fractions and Addition Level on Wheat Bread Dough Rheology Ionica Cot, ovanu * and Silvia Mironeasa * Faculty of Food Engineering, Stefan cel Mare University of Suceava, 13 Universitatii Street, 720229 Suceava, Romania * Correspondence: [email protected] (I.C.); silviam@fia.usv.ro (S.M.); Tel.: +40-740-816-370 (I.C.); +40-741-985-648 (S.M.) Abstract: Supplementation of refined wheat flour with buckwheat flour requires a good understand- ing of the impact of milling fractions, their functionality, and addition level on bread quality. The chemical and functional characteristics of different particle fractions (large, medium, and small) of buckwheat flour on dough Mixolab rheological properties to predict bread quality were investigated. Moisture content, proteins, ash, lipids, and carbohydrates varied irregularly depending on the parti- cle size. The medium particle fraction is the richest in protein, lipid and ash, which are positively correlated with its water and swelling properties and negatively correlated with its volumetric density. The alpha-amylase activity increased with the particle size increase in composite flour. The Mixolab data revealed that the decrease of particle size increased water absorption, dough viscosity during the starch gelatinization and retrogradation stage, while the addition level increased the dough development time and gel stability, and decreased the rate of protein weakening. Following the optimization process and the desirability function approach, it was established that the most appropriate rheological properties are provided by buckwheat flour addition level of 10.75% for medium particle fraction. These results can be helpful for bakery producers to diversify baked Citation: Cot,ovanu, I.; Mironeasa, S.

  • Gluten-Free Grains
    Gluten-Free Grains Amaranth Updated February 2021 Buckwheat The gluten-free diet requires total avoidance of the grains wheat, barley, rye and all varieties and hybrids of these grains, such as spelt. However, there are many wonderful gluten-free grains* to enjoy. Cornmeal, Amaranth Polenta, Grits, Once the sacred food of the Aztecs, amaranth is high in protein, calcium, iron, and fiber. Toasting this tiny grain before cooking brings out its nutty flavor. Hominy Makes a delicious, creamy hot breakfast cereal. Serve with fruit of choice on top and/or a touch of maple syrup. Millet Rice Rice comes in many varieties: short grain, long grain, jasmine and basmati to name a Oats few. Long grain rice tends to be fluffier while short grain rice is stickier. Rice also comes in various colors: black, purple, brown, and red. These colorful un-refined rices contribute more nutritional benefits than does refined white rice and have subtly unique flavors and Quinoa textures too. Wild rice is another different and delicious option. Versatile rice leftovers can go in many directions. Add to salads or sautéed vegetables; Rice make rice pancakes or rice pudding; season and use as filling for baked green peppers or winter squash. Sorghum Buckwheat Despite the name, buckwheat is a gluten-free member of the rhubarb family. Roasted buckwheat is called kasha. Buckwheat is high in B Vitamins, fiber, iron, magnesium, Teff phosphorous and zinc. Buckwheat has an earthy, nutty, slightly bitter taste. Experiment with using the cooked grain (buckwheat “groats”, or “kasha” which is the toasted version) as you would rice.
