The influence of several flour types on the content of acrylamide in 14 samples of bread, purchased from 5 different suppliers from the market in Bucharest, Romania was studied. For all bread assortments which have been analyzed for acrylamide, the International Commission of Illumination （CIELab） parameters, L＊, a＊ and b＊ have been also measured in an attempt to correlate the colour of the final product with its acrylamide content. Determination of acrylamide in bread samples was performed by Gas Chromatography coupled with tandem Mass Spectrometry （GC-MS/MS）, using isotope dillution calibration after derivatization （bromination）. The results revealed that the acrylamide level vary between bread assortments of different brands and bread assortments of same brand, but different lots. In the case of commercial bread samples, the use of whole wheat flours lead to formation of higher quantity in acrylamide （165.53 μg/kg）, compared to the use of white wheat flours （28.02μg/kg）.展开更多

Its positive influence on consumer health is caused by grain composition. With the aim of selecting varieties or landraces for their possible further use we tested selected emmer wheat accessions maintained in the Czech Gene Bank. In the set of 8 emmer wheat accessions, the main grain components, bread making characteristics and contents of health supporting chemical substances such as total dietary fibre content and its components, content of total polyphenols plus catechin and ferulic acid contents, vitamins of the B group and E plus total content of carotenoids were evaluated by standard methods. Tests of bread making quality confirmed a very well known fact that emmer wheat grain is much more suitable for other purposes as whole grain mixtures, cereal pure, etc. than for bread preparation. The results indicate the possibilities to select emmer wheat genotypes differing in grain composition and containing compounds with positive effects on human health. Among the tested emmer wheat accessions the Rudico variety had a complex of positive characteristics such as content of total dietary fibre, total polyphenol content with prevailing catechin and the highest amount of B group vitamins such as B 1, B2, niacin, pantothenic acid and B6.展开更多

Field experiments were conducted at two sites during 2008 and 2009 growing seasons to evaluate the effectiveness of two new foliar fungicides： viz. Nativo 300 SC （trifloxystrobin 100 g L^-1 ＋ tebuconazole 200 g L^-1） and Prosaro 250 EC （prothioconazole 125 g L^-1 ＋ tebuconazole 125 g L^-1）, in controlling stem rust on susceptible wheat cultivar Duma. AmistarXtra 280 SC （azoxystrobin 200 g L^-1 ＋ cyproconazole 80 g L^-1） and Folicur 250 EC （tebuconazole） were used as checks. The treatment at each site and year included non-treated control and two spray applications of the fungicides at growth stages （GS） 55 （heading） and 65 （flowering）. Stem rust severities were scored using the modified Cobb scale at 14-day intervals after application. The data were used to calculate mean rust severity （MRS）. Stem rust epidemics were severe at KARI-Njoro in 2008 and the treatment effects on stem rust severities, grain yield and 1,000 kernel weights were significant at both KARI-Njoro and Mau-Narok sites. The fungicide treatments, significantly （P _〈 0.05） reduced stem rust severity, increased grain yield and 1,000 kernel weight of the susceptible wheat cultivar Duma compared to the non-treated control. Both fungicides： Nativo 300 SC and Prosaro 250 EC applied at the rate of 1.0 L hat were recommended for commercial use.展开更多
