(Tg) on Dough and Bread Containing Wheat-Soybean Tempe Flour THE EFFECT OF TRANSGLUTAMINASE (TG) ON DOUGH AND BREAD CONTAINING WHEAT- SOYBEAN TEMPE FLOUR By ERNI SOFIA MURTINI Bachelor of Food Technology Brawijaya University Malang, East Java, Indonesia 1995 Master of Agriculture Brawijaya University Malang, East Java, Indonesia 1999 Submitted to the Faculty of the Graduate College of the Oklahoma State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY July, 2014 THE EFFECT OF TRANSGLUTAMINASE (TG) ON DOUGH AND BREAD CONTAINING WHEAT- SOYBEAN TEMPE FLOUR Dissertation Approved: Dr. Patricia Rayas-Duarte Dissertation Adviser Dr. William G. McGlynn Dr. Timothy J. Bowser Dr. Niels O. Maness Dr. Mark E. Payton ii Name: ERNI SOFIA MURTINI Date of Degree: JULY, 2014 Title of Study: THE EFFECT OF TRANSGLUTAMINASE (TG) IN DOUGH AND BREAD CONTAINING WHEAT-SOYBEAN TEMPE FLOUR Major Field: FOOD SCIENCE Abstract Consumer’s need for good quality and healthy products are also applicable to wheat baked products. Variation of gluten protein quality and the limiting amino acid lysine from the nutritional point of view are two challenges of wheat flour. Gluten protein can be modified by transglutaminase (TG) and improvement of desirable product properties can be designed with the right treatment dose. Tempe, a fermented soy/grain, provides healthy components such as isoflavones, bioactive peptides, vitamins and high lysine content. This study was aimed to measure the effect of TG on gluten, dough and baking properties. A set of six commercial wheat flours with protein content (11.0±0.5) was treated with TG (0; 0.1; 0.2; 0.4; 0.8; 1.6 % w/w flour basis) based on randomized complete block design with 3 replications. Results indicated that wet gluten decreased while gluten index and elastic recovery increased with increasing TG levels. Addition of mixing and resting dough prior to the gluten extraction positively increased wet gluten and gluten elastic recovery. At level of 0-0.4%, TG positively increased farinograph development time and stability, decreased amount of CO2 release during dough fermentation, increased the coefficient of gas retention and produced finer bread crumb structure. However, at 0.8% TG, excessive formation of covalent bonds dramatically decreased dough rheological properties, Hm and bread volume and increased crumb texture hardness. The study was also aimed to prepare tempe wheat-soy flour and to analyze the effect of TG and tempe flour on rheological and fermentation properties of composite flour. A desirable tempe cake and lysine content closest to WHO standard lysine requirement for adults was obtained with wheat:soy at 1:1 ratio (w/w). Substitution tempe flour at 0, 10, 20, 30 and 40% in wheat flour treated with TG (0, 0.05 and 0.1%) significantly influenced most of the mixing and fermentation properties of composite flour. It increased development time, stability and breakdown time and decreased CO2 lost during fermentation. Tempe flour up to 20% did not change gaseous release. This study suggests that composite flours using up to or less than 20% tempe can be used in bread formulation using 0.1% TG. iii TABLE OF CONTENTS Chapter Page I.

  • Celiac Disease: It's Autoimmune Not an Allergy
    CELIAC DISEASE: IT’S AUTOIMMUNE NOT AN ALLERGY! Analissa Drummond PA-C Department of Pediatrics Division of Pediatric Gastroenterology HISTORY OF CELIAC DISEASE Also called gluten-sensitive enteropathy and nontropical spue First described by Dr. Samuel Gee in a 1888 report entitled “On the Coeliac Affection” Term “coeliac” derived from Greek word koiliakaos-abdominal Similar description of a chronic, malabsorptive disorder by Aretaeus from Cappadochia ( now Turkey) reaches as far back as the second century AD HISTORY CONTINUED The cause of celiac disease was unexplained until 1950 when the Dutch pediatrician Willem K Dicke recognized an association between the consumption of bread, cereals and relapsing diarrhea. This observation was corroborated when, during periods of food shortage in the Second World War, the symptoms of patients improved once bread was replaced by unconventional, non cereal containing foods. This finding confirmed the usefulness of earlier empirical diets that used pure fruit, potatoes, banana, milk, or meat. HISTORY CONTINUED After the war bread was reintroduced. Dicke and Van de Kamer began controlled experiments by exposing children with celiac disease to defined diets. They then determined fecal weight and fecal fat as a measure of malabsorption. They found that wheat, rye, barley and to a lesser degree oats, triggered malabsorption, which could be reversed after exclusion of the “toxic” cereals from the diet. Shortly after, the toxic agents were found to be present in gluten, the alcohol-soluble fraction of wheat protein. PATHOPHYSIOLOGY Celiac disease is a multifactorial, autoimmune disorder that occurs in genetically susceptible individuals. Trigger is an environmental agent-gliadin component of gluten.

Enzymes are replacing chemical treatments in 4 the food industry as a tool to treat weak flours. Glucose oxidase (GO) is one of the most promising oxidative enzymes although it has not been demonstrated yet its 6 efficiency over the alcohol-soluble fraction of the gluten proteins. If this enzyme could restore the broken covalent bonds between the glutenin subunits, the gluten network of 8 damaged wheat flour would recover their native structure and functionality. This treatment would allow bakers to use damaged flour, reducing the economical losses 10 produced by this plague around Europe and North Africa. Electrophoretic studies demonstrated the formation of high molecular weight aggregates in the glutenin 12 fraction, which had a characteristic thermal stability depending on the enzyme dosage. Those molecular studies agreed with the bread-making assays made with the 14 maximum enzyme dosage and the microstructure determination.

The assay was applied to a set of 300 samples, including 15 cultivars each of common wheat, spelt, durum wheat, emmer and einkorn cultivated at four locations in Germany in the same year. The total protein content was equally influenced by location and wheat species, however, gliadin, glutenin and gluten contents were influenced more strongly by wheat species than location. Einkorn, emmer and spelt had higher protein and gluten contents than common wheat at all four locations. However, common wheat had higher glutenin contents than einkorn, emmer and spelt resulting in increasing ratios of gliadins to glutenins from common wheat (< 3.8) to spelt, emmer and einkorn (up to 12.1). With the knowledge that glutenin contents are suitable predictors for high baking volume, cultivars of einkorn, emmer and spelt with good predicted baking performance were identified.

  • Wheat Improvement: the Truth Unveiled
    Wheat Improvement: The Truth Unveiled By The National Wheat Improvement Committee (NWIC) From wheat farmers to wheat scientists, we know consumers are yearning for more transparency and trust within their food “system.” We understand those concerns as consumers ourselves. In an effort to give consumers full scientific knowledge of how wheat has been improved over the years, we have worked together to publish a concise response to recent claims made by Dr. William Davis. The National Wheat Improvement Committee has compiled the following responses to Davis’ slander attack on wheat’s breeding and science improvements. Responses were developed with a scientific and historical perspective, utilizing references from peer-reviewed research and input from U.S. and international wheat scientists. Wheat Breeding & Science The wheat grown around the world today came from three grassy weed species that naturally hybridized around 10,000 years ago. The past 70 years of wheat breeding have essentially capitalized on the variation provided by wheat’s hybridization thousands of years ago and the natural mutations which occurred over the millennia as the wheat plant spread around the globe. There is no crop plant in the modern, developed world – from grass and garden flowers, to wheat and rice – that is the same as it first existed when the Earth was formed, nor is the environment the same. There is no mystery to wheat breeding. To breed new varieties, breeders employ two basic methods: Conventional crossing involves combining genes from complementary wheat plant parents to produce new genetic combinations (not new genes) in the offspring. This may account for slightly higher yield potential or disease and insect resistance relative to the parents.

Received: 3 November 2017; Accepted: 15 November 2017; Published: 18 November 2017 Abstract: Rice (Oryza sativa L.) is a primary global food cereal. However, when compared to wheat, rice has poor food processing qualities. Dough that is made from rice flour has low viscoelasticity because rice seed lacks storage proteins that are comparable to gluten protein from wheat. Thus, current research efforts aim to improve rice flour processing qualities through the transgenic expression of viscoelastic proteins in rice seeds. In this study, we characterized the transgenic expression of wheat glutenin subunits in rice seeds. The two genes 1Dx5_KK and 1Dy10_JK, which both encode wheat high-molecular-weight glutenin subunits that confer high dough elasticity, were cloned from Korean wheat cultivars KeumKang and JoKyung, respectively.

DUPONT,* RONALD CHAN,ROCIO LOPEZ, AND WILLIAM H. VENSEL Western Regional Research Center, Agricultural Research Service, U.S. Department of Agriculture, 800 Buchanan Street, Albany, California 94710 Methods to sequentially extract and fractionate wheat flour proteins were evaluated to reliably quantify gliadins, glutenins, and albumins/globulins in single flour samples. Compositions of the resulting protein fractions were analyzed by RP-HPLC combined with SDS-PAGE. Unknown proteins were identified by mass spectrometry or N-terminal sequencing. The best separation and recovery of discrete albumin/ globulin, gliadin, and glutenin fractions from the same flour sample was achieved by extraction with 0.3 M NaI in 7.5% 1-propanol followed by 2% SDS, 25 mM DTT in 25 mM TRIS, pH 8.0, and precipitation of the solubilized proteins with ammonium acetate/methanol followed by acetone. Average flour composition for the variety Butte86 was 10% albumin/globulin, 40% gliadin, and 48% glutenin. This method should be useful for determining flour composition in diverse samples and evaluating relationships between proteins and end-use functionality.

Innovations, such as increased computer size and power, together with novel simulation tools have improved our understanding of protein structure-function relationships. This review focuses on various proteins present in plants and modeling tools that can be applied to better understand protein structures and their relationship to functionality, with particular emphasis on plant storage proteins. Modeling of plant proteins is increasing, but less than 9% of deposits in the Research Collaboratory for Structural Bioinformatics Protein Data Bank come from plant proteins. Although, similar tools are applied as in other proteins, modeling of plant proteins is lagging behind and innovative methods are rarely used. Molecular dynamics and molecular docking are commonly used to evaluate differences in forms or mutants, and the impact on functionality.

  • Structure of Glutenin : Achievements at the Northern Regional Research Center
    Ann. Technol., agric., I980, 29 (2), 249-277. 4909 Structure of glutenin : Achievements at the northern regional research center J. A. BIETZ and F. R. HUEBNER Northern Regional Research Center, A gricultural Research Science and Education Administration U.S. Department 01 Agriculture Peoria, Illinois 6I604 United States Summary The Northern Regional Research Center (~·RRC), Peoria, Illinois, is a laboratory of the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Science and Education Administration. For more than 20 years studies have been carried out on wheat glutel1 and its major fractions, gliadin and glutenin. This review summarizes studies of glutenin at ~ RRC and integrates this information with other laboratories' results to show how glutertirt structure relates to wheat's functional properties. In early studies at RRC, glutenin was isolated and shown to be a heterogeneous mixture of high molecular weight (.M:W) molecules containing ordered and unordered structures. Mole­ cules are asymmetric, and have high surface areas favoring interactions and association. Elec­ trophoresis showed that reduced glutenin contains many subunits joined by intermolecular disulfide bonds; hydrogen and hydrophobic bonds also contribute to glutenin's structure. Three distinct types of glutenin subunits were isolated and characterized, and genetic control of glu­ tenin's unique high MW subunits was established. Wheats having different qualities differ in subunit composition. Glutenin differs from low-MW gliadins, but its ethanol-soluble subunits are identical to subunits of high MW gliadin; a hypothesis was developed showing how different subunit types assemble into glutenin. High MW native glutenin molecules are related to wheat quality. These molecules are oriented by mixing, and form disulfide and noncovalent bonds with other flour proteins, resulting in a continuous gluten network in dough.

    www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN Effect of extra cysteine residue of new mutant 1Ax1 subunit on the functional properties of common Received: 17 February 2017 Accepted: 29 June 2017 wheat Published: xx xx xxxx Miao Li1, Yaqiong Wang1, Fengyun Ma1,2, Jian Zeng1, Junli Chang1, Mingjie Chen1, Kexiu Li1, Guangxiao Yang1, Yuesheng Wang1 & Guangyuan He1 Subunit pair 1Dx5 + 1Dy10 was recognized as superior subunit combination in wheat and contained an extra repetitive-domain cysteine residue in 1Dx5 that was important for understanding the formation of dough viscoelasticity. In this research, one specific serine codon of the1Ax1 gene corresponding to the extra cysteine residue of 1Dx5 was substituted by a cysteine codon through site-directed mutagenesis. Four homozygous transgenic lines (T4) expressing the mutant 1Ax1 gene (mut1Ax1) were produced. Their greater dough strength and stability were confirmed by mixograph and were associated with highly increased gluten index, larger amounts of gluten macropolymers, larger size distribution for glutenin macropolymer particles and varied sodium-dodecyl-sulfate sedimentation volumes, compared with those of the one line expressing wild 1Ax1 that had similar expression level of transgene. The contents of β-sheets in dough and disulfide groups in gluten of themut1Ax1 transgenic lines were significantly increased. The microstructure of dough mixed to peak showed a more continuous gluten matrix in the mutant transgenic lines than the one line mentioned-above. It was concluded that the extra cysteine residue of mutant 1Ax1 subunit plays a positive role in contributing to dough strength and stability of wheat by cross-linking into gluten aggregates through inter-chain disulfide bonds.
