  • The Canadian Wheat Board, Warburtons, and the Creative
    The Canadian Wheat Board and the creative re- constitution of the Canada-UK wheat trade: wheat and bread in food regime history by André J. R. Magnan A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Graduate Department of Sociology University of Toronto © Copyright by André Magnan 2010. Abstract Title: The Canadian Wheat Board and the creative re-constitution of the Canada-UK wheat trade: wheat and bread in food regime history Author: André J. R. Magnan Submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Graduate Department of Sociology University of Toronto, 2010. This dissertation traces the historical transformation of the Canada-UK commodity chain for wheat-bread as a lens on processes of local and global change in agrofood relations. During the 1990s, the Canadian Wheat Board (Canada‟s monopoly wheat seller) and Warburtons, a British bakery, pioneered an innovative identity- preserved sourcing relationship that ties contracted prairie farmers to consumers of premium bread in the UK. Emblematic of the increasing importance of quality claims, traceability, and private standards in the reorganization of agrifood supply chains, I argue that the changes of the 1990s cannot be understood outside of historical legacies giving shape to unique institutions for regulating agrofood relations on the Canadian prairies and in the UK food sector. I trace the rise, fall, and re-invention of the Canada-UK commodity chain across successive food regimes, examining the changing significance of wheat- bread, inter-state relations between Canada, the UK, and the US, and public and private forms of agrofood regulation over time.

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.

  • Whole Wheat Pasta Recipe 031211
    Recipe: Whole Sonora Wheat Fettuccine or Noodles Note: Whole Ethiopian Blue Tinge wheat can also be made into fettuccine with this recipe Most commercial extruded Italian pasta is made with durum wheat but Italians, like the Chinese, also use common soft wheat for cut pasta and noodles. Sonora wheat is a common soft wheat, with a light golden bran color. Stone ground whole Sonora wheat flour with water, makes up into simple cut-ribbon pasta, or noodles, very well indeed. However, there is an art to making quick cooking, fork-twirling cut ribbons, or fettuccine as the Italians would call them. In developing this method I received good advice and thank my long time friend Sam Huang who works with California wheat daily in the laboratory of the California Wheat Commission. The method below owes much to Sam Huang, especially the need for an exceedingly stiff dough that finally rolls out to be beautifully soft and pliable. Pasta from a softer starting dough is not easily cut and is impossible to hang out to dry, without it stretching and falling from the drying rack. Nor is this a grainy textured whole wheat pasta, because all the flour is added at the beginning and has ample time to become thoroughly hydrated and for the bran to become very soft. The final method, which is my responsibility, includes the use of very warm water. Still I am ready to receive any comments from which to learn; I am as yet quite new to this style of pasta making. For example, when I hang this pasta to dry, it curls somewhat and makes it difficult to store in a package without breaking*.

  • Regular Article Effect of Addition of Spelt And
    REGULAR ARTICLE EFFECT OF ADDITION OF SPELT AND BUCKWHEAT HULL ON SELECTED PROPERTIES OF YOGHURT Agata Znamirowska1, Katarzyna Sajnar1, Magdalena Kowalczyk1, Maciej Kluz2, Magdalena Buniowska1* Address: 1University of Rzeszow, Faculty of Biology and Agriculture, Department of Dairy Technology, Ćwiklińskiej 2D, 35-601 Rzeszów, Poland, phone number: +48177854905. 2University of Rzeszow, Faculty of Biology and Agriculture, Department of Bioenergetics and Food Analysis, Ćwiklińskiej 1, 35-601 Rzeszów, Poland. *Corresponding author: [email protected] ABSTRACT Buckwheat and spelled hulls are little tested in their use in the production of functional foods. 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).
