  • Shelf-Life Guide
    SHELF-LIFE GUIDE Storage does not improve food quality. The quality of a food will also not decrease significantly during storage as long as it is stored properly and used within the recommended time frame. Maintaining a food’s quality depends on the quality of the raw product, procedures used during processing, the way food is stored and length of storage. These short but safe time limits will help keep refrigerated foods from spoiling or becoming dangerous to eat. Because freezing keeps food safe indefinitely, recommended storage times are for quality only. Storage times are from date of purchase unless specified on chart. It is not important if a date expires after food is frozen.

  • “Give Us This Day Our Daily Bread”
    “Give us this day our daily bread” Rosalba Gentile Abstract Bread is a universal and ancient staple that in Italy is regarded as the symbol of both food and national unity. Nonetheless, the great variety of breads dating back to Roman times and still available in the country recalls the political fragmentation of pre-Unification Italy. Furthermore, as it is essentially a cultural object, bread is closely intertwined with the social structure of Italian society whose cultural and dietary shifts, however, have adversely affected bread production and consumption. The latter, moreover, is also linked to the so- called diseases of civilisation that actually constitute public health problems. The political aspects of bread analysed in this paper mainly pertain to the national and European legislation which establishes the characteristics and names of Italian bread, and to the gradual disappearance of artisan bakery that does not seem to attract the younger generations. The relationship between bread and environment, on the other hand, shows how climate change, pesticides, and fertilisers negatively impact on wheat production. Additionally, bread-making technology and the controversial issue relating to GM crops highlight the unavoidable role of biotechnology in the future nutritional scenario. A scenario that is likely to be dominated by healthy foods such as gluten-free, salt- free and functional breads. Keywords: bread, Italy, cultural object, environment, bread-technology. Introduction Bread has been widely recognised as one of the most ancient and basic foods of mankind;1 a daily staple that has significantly helped to form the foundations of civilisation2 and which still lies at the heart of contemporary society.3 This basically allows to view bread as a sort of “prism” that is apt to imbibe, refract, and eventually unify a great variety of cultural events, thus creating a common and coherent language;4 i.e., a ‘sensory language’ permitting a mutual comprehension between 1 Cauvain, S.P., 1998.

  • Impact of Baking Bed and Baking Temperature on Staling of Sangak Bread
    J. Agr. Sci. Tech. (2015) Vol. 17: 375-386 Impact of Baking Bed and Baking Temperature on Staling of Sangak Bread ∗ L. Izadi Najafabadi 1 , N. Hamdami 1, A. Le-Bail 2, J. Y. Monteau 2, and J. Keramat 1 ABSTRACT The mode of heat and mass transfer during baking of bakery products is an important factor determining the quality of the final product. The heating rate could alter the starch properties during gelatinization and affect the quality of products after baking and during aging. Sangak is a kind of Iranian flat bread baked on the hot pebble gravels. The aim of this study was to evaluate the impacts of baking beds (gravel and metal beds) and baking temperatures (280, 310 and 340°C) on staling of Sangak bread during storage at 20°C. The mean value of the measured heating rate of bread baked on gravel bed was higher than that in bread baked on metal bed. In the case of baking on gravel bed, unlike baking on the metal bed, the increase of baking temperature had no significant effect on all quality parameters (moisture content, firmness and freezable water of breads, etc). Recrystallization of amylopectin seemed not to be related to the baking condition. During aging, the firmness of bread baked on gravel bed was significantly lower than that for bread baked on the metal bed and baking at higher temperature and shorter time resulted in the increment of moisture content and the decrease of firmness. As a consequence, baking on gravels and higher baking temperature increased the heating rate, which led to reduction of the staling kinetic of Sangak bread.

  • 1 CHAPTER ONE INTRODUCTION Cereal-Based Foods Play An
    CHAPTER ONE INTRODUCTION Cereal-based foods play an important role as a source of dietary energy and nutrients in human nutrition. The use of microorganisms by humans has a long tradition. Besides beer and wine production, bread making is one of the oldest arts known to man. For example, Egypt, Greece and Italy were early places of discovery of leavened breads (Kulp and Lorenz, 2003). Wheat falls under the grass family Gramineae, which include the cereal grains. Other popular cereal grains that fall under this category are corn, rice, barley, oats, sorghum and pearl millet. All of this can be milled into flour, but only wheat flour has the ability to be transformed into glutinous dough, together with water and other ingredients. The uniqueness of wheat flour to be transformed into a cohesive, viscoelastic mass is due to the hydration of gluten proteins in the wheat together with the application of mixing energy. After the dough is formed, the gluten structure entraps the gasses produced during the fermentation stage. This allows the dough mass to expand and to be baked into a soft, light and palatable product, which is known as bread (September, 2007). Fermented foods, particularly those produced under controlled conditions, have a good record of safety and are implicated in outbreaks of diseases relatively infrequently (Adams and Nout, 2001). Bread is a staple foodstuff made and eaten in most countries around the world (Owens, 2001). Bread is the most popular yeast leaved product made from wheat flour. The bread making process is one of the oldest applications of biotechnology.

However, since no information is available for Italy, the aim of the present study was to estimate the intake of RS in the Italian diet by direct analysis of RS in a range of typical foods representing the main sources of starch intake in the country. The selection of representative foods and of food consumption data were based on published results of the National Food Consumption Study conducted during the 1980s by the National Institute of Nutrition on 10 000 households, using , subject to the Cambridge Core terms of use, available at weighed-food records plus inventory methodologies (Saba et al. 1990; Turrini et al. 1991). Three main groups of foods were considered: cereals (pasta, rice, bread and bread products, and pastries), potatoes, legumes.
