David Dyson (deceased) =!ichmond Hill :Jntario, Canada Breadings (or breaders) refers generally to a group of cereal-flour-based _lends or thermally processed wheat-flour dough-based dry bread crumbs. 3readings typically contain seasonings and chemical leavening agents and are ipplied as coatings to fried or baked foods to achieve certain textures, colors, ",nd flavors. Suderman and Cunningham (1983) defined a breading as 1) a :l our-based bread-crumb or cracker meal that is applied to a food in a dry form primarily to create a desired coating texture (the coating can be fine to coarse ~ particle size) or 2) a dry food coating made from flour, starch, seasoillngs, etc., :'1at is fine in nature and is applied over moistened or battered food products. 3readings typically fall into one of the following categories, based on their ,- rocessing, applications, functions, and end-product-attribute requirements: flour :2readings, cracker meals or cracker crumbs (traditional breadings), American 2fead crumbs (ABC, home-style bread crumbs), Japanese bread crumbs (JBC or J­ :rumb, Oriental-style bread crumbs, or panko), and extruded crumbs. Breading formulations, ingredients, and processing technologies have de­ "eloped over time, and several different terminologies for breadings have :ome into use. However, there is a lack of standard concepts, definitions, and :lassifications of breadings among the breading industry and the processors :-or seafood, poultry, and snack foods. The situation could result in misunder­ ,[anding, miscommunication, and improper applications between the suppliers .::.nd their customers. The batter and breading industry and end-users have created a set of terms : at relate to a particular manufacturing process and finished product. His­ :orically, breadings for fried chicken have been nothing more than seasoned, Jnprocessed wheat flours. These same preparations, when mixed with water, :ecome simple batters, defined as suspensions of cereal solids (with or without easonings) in water.

    Recipe Depth and variety of Japan’s cuisine The “Delicious” page, published every Tuesday, introduces simple recipes, restaurants across the country and extensive background information about Japanese washoku cuisine. By uncovering the history of Japanese food and sharing choice anecdotes, we make cooking at home and dining out even more fun. Our recipe columns In this column, we look back over changes in Japanese cuisine by featuring popular recipes carried in The Yomiuri Shimbun over the past century. Preparing a meal for oneself often comes with many complaints such as, “Cooking just for me is annoying,” and “I don’t know if I can eat everything by myself.” In this series, cooking researchers share tips for making delicious meals just for you. In this column, Tamako Sakamoto, a culinary expert who previously wrote the column “Taste of Home” for The Japan News, introduces tips for home-style dishes typically enjoyed by Japanese families. Taste of Japanese mom Chikuzen-ni Chikuzen refers to northwestern Fukuoka Prefecture. Although the dish is widely known as Chikuzen-ni, local people usually call the dish game-ni. There are several possible origins of the name. One idea is that it comes from “gamekomu,” a local dialect word for “bringing together” various leftover vegetables, even scraps, in a pan. Another theory is that turtle (kame) or soft-shelled turtle (suppon) were cooked together. There are also various views about the roots of the dish. One is that it was a battlefield dish of the Kuroda clan in the Chikuzen district, while another suggests the dish was created by warriors who were stationed in Hakata, Fukuoka Prefecture, when Toyotomi Hideyoshi sent a large army to the Korean Peninsula in the 16th century.

Abstract: The study was aimed at evaluating the effect of bread crumbs on the quality of chicken nuggets. Bread crumbs were incorporated in batter at 1% (T1), 2% (T2) and 3% (T3) level and compared with the control (T0) prepared without the incorporation of bread crumbs. The quality parameters studied included physico-chemical indices including moisture (%), protein (%), fat (%), emulsion stability, cooking yield (%), oil pick up (%); and sensory attributes. Moisture, protein, fat and oil pick up showed significant decrease whereas pH, emulsion stability and cooking yield (%) showed non-significant difference when compared with control. Among sensory attributes, texture and overall acceptability showed significant difference with higher scores at 2% level of incorporation.

  • The Hot Bread Kitchen Cookbook
    Introduction t five o’clock every morning, while most people in A New York City are still dreaming, industrial mixers are spinning inside Hot Bread Kitchen in East Harlem. Lutfunnessa, one of our bakers, boils a pot of water and measures local whole wheat flour for a batch of chapati. While she rolls the dough into perfect rounds, Nancy drains dried corn kernels she has soaked overnight. As head of tortilla production, she will make thousands of delicious, toothsome tortillas in three varieties, each from a different heritage corn. At 6 a.m., Ela comes in to start mixing yeasted doughs for the day, starting with nan-e qandi, a cakey Persian bread. Twenty other doughs will follow, which will be shaped and baked into more than seventy different breads. Throughout the day the mixers combine whole-grain levains, pungent spices, local flours, and New York City water to bake traditional versions of a global array of breads—sourdoughs, a German rye, flatbreads galore, and sweet Mexicanconchas . There is no off switch; every hour of every day, something is rising at Hot Bread Kitchen. At first glance, Hot Bread Kitchen looks like other bakeries. But, behind the braided challahs and loaves of multigrain, a powerful mission pre vails. Hot Bread Kitchen is a social enterprise that provides a life-changing education and opens doors for low-income minority women. The social part of the equation means that bakery trainees learn the skills they need to get management-track positions in the food industry or to start their own food businesses.
