Effect of lactic acid-rich sourdough bread on appetite regulation: A randomized, double-blind controlled trial.

Sourdough bread consumption has been associated with improved glucose and appetite regulation thanks to the presence of organic acids produced during fermentation of the flour-water mixture. We investigated the effects of whole meal sourdough bread (WSB) rich in lactic acid on energy intake, satiety, gastric emptying, glucose, and C-peptide response compared to whole meal yeast bread (WYB). Forty-four normal-weight participants (age: 30 ± 10 y; BMI: 23 ± 2 kg/m) participated in this double-blind, randomized cross-over trial, consisting of two study visits separated by one week.

Study of the influence of beer composition on the amount of bubbles in beer: CO, alcohol, protein and iso-alpha-acid contents as primary predictors.

Due to compositional differences, the mouthfeel of non-alcoholic beers (NABs) is considered inferior to that of alcoholic beers (ABs). Carbonation properties are a key sensation regarding mouthfeel. This study quantified the amount of bubbles in ABs (n = 10) and NABs (n = 9), ranging from 3.

Vitamin A stability during storage of fortified gari produced using different fortification strategies.

Food fortification is an effective strategy to combat vitamin A deficiency. Gari, a cassava-based West African food product, is an interesting product to fortify with vitamin A, but the low stability of vitamin A poses a challenge. We showed that toasted wheat bran can stabilise vitamin A as retinyl palmitate (RP) during storage of RP-fortified gari to a limited extent.

Directing oat groat heat treatment conditions towards increased protein extractability.

Oat-based liquid and semi-solid dairy alternatives require extractable proteins for nutritional and technological purposes. However, oats are industrially heat treated ('kilned') to inactivate endogenous lipases thereby avoiding rancidity development. Such heat treatment results in a protein extractability decrease.

Purpose: To assess clinical and radiographic outcomes of anterior acetabular wall reconstruction and cup revision in patients with anterior acetabular wall defects and associated iliopsoas tendinopathy (IPT) following total hip arthroplasty (THA).

Methods: 7 patients with IPT (defined as groin pain that increased with active hip flexion) and pre-revision computed tomography (CT) scans showing anterior acetabular wall defects and cup-iliopsoas impingement were included. During cup revision, an autologous biconvex iliac crest graft was harvested and placed over the anterior acetabular wall defect before press-fitting a revision cup.

Reassessing the importance of barley starch and amylolytic enzyme properties in malting and brewing.

Efficient conversion of starch to fermentable sugars and dextrins is essential during brewing as it drives process efficiency, resource efficiency, and the quality of the end product. Recent changes in barley growth conditions due to climate change challenge brewers in maintaining these essential aspects of the brewing process. The main component of barley, starch, is also undergoing changes, which can lead to detrimental effects on the brewing process.

Unravelling the bread-making functionality of gluten-rich sub-aleurone flour obtained by dry fractionation of wheat miller's bran.

The residual endosperm of wheat miller's bran is rich in gluten proteins due to the presence of protein-rich sub-aleurone cells. Here, the goal was to gain insight into the bread-making functionality of sub-aleurone gluten-enriched fractions obtained through dry fractionation of miller's bran and the inherent bread-making functionality of sub-aleurone gluten. Therefore, two sub-aleurone gluten-enriched fractions (Sub-al and Sub-al), differing in particle size distribution and chemical composition, were prepared from miller's bran using impact milling, sieving, and air classification.

Factors associated with mechanical complications following primary total hip arthroplasty through a modified direct anterior approach using custom stems.

Purpose: To determine the rate and risk factors of mechanical complications (MCs) within two years following total hip arthroplasty (THA) through direct anterior approach (DAA) using custom stems, and to compare findings to other surgical approaches in the literature.

Methods: The study included a consecutive series of 479 patients (529 hips) that had undergone primary THA through the DAA using uncemented custom stems between 02/2014 and 04/2017. There were 301 men and 228 women, with a mean age of 55.

Selection of Wheat Miller's Bran Based on the Sub-aleurone Protein Content Allows Increase of the Quality of Bran-Enriched Bread.

Wheat miller's bran negatively affects the gluten network but contains the grain tissue with the highest gluten content, the sub-aleurone. Here, the aim was to investigate how sub-aleurone gluten proteins in miller's bran affect bran-enriched bread quality. A bread-making experiment was performed with six lab-scale-produced bran samples.

Impact of barley selection and mashing profile on the arabinoxylan content and structure in beer.

Non-alcoholic and low-alcoholic beers often suffer from inferior foaming quality and lack palate fullness, both of which are positively influenced by arabinoxylan. This study aimed to identify factors during brewing that most affect arabinoxylan content and structure. Analysis showed that malting and mashing had the most significant impact on arabinoxylan, increasing its extractability and reducing its molecular weight.

Age, activity, and native femoral offset are associated with articular noise in ceramic on ceramic total hip arthroplasty (THA) with custom stems.

Purpose: To report the prevalence of articular noise following total hip arthroplasty (THA) with custom stems and ceramic-on-ceramic (CoC) bearings, to determine the risk factors for articular noise, and the effect of articular noise on quality of life (QoL).

Methods: A consecutive series of uncemented primary THAs using custom stems implanted between 01/02/ 2014-01/04/2017 were evaluated. The cohort comprised 479 patients (529 hips, 301 males and 228 females), aged 55.

Environment found to explain the largest variance in physical and compositional traits in malting barley grain.

Background: Starch is the most abundant constituent (dry weight) in the barley endosperm, followed by protein. Variability of compositional and potentially related physical traits due to genotype and environment can have important implications for the malting and brewing industry. This was the first study to assess the effects of genotype, environment, and their interaction (G × E) on endosperm texture, protein content, and starch traits corresponding to granule size, gelatinization, content, and composition, using a multi-environment variety trial in California, USA.

A global set of barley varieties shows a high diversity in starch structural properties and related gelatinisation characteristics.

The gelatinisation temperature and bimodal granule size distribution of barley starch are important characteristics regarding resource efficiency and product quality in the brewing industry. In this work, the diversity in starch amylose content and granule proportions in a set of modern barley varieties (N = 23) was investigated and correlated with their starch gelatinisation behaviour. Milled barley samples had peak starch gelatinisation temperatures ranging from 60.

Wheat Sourdough Breadmaking: A Scoping Review.

Using sourdough in breadmaking can enhance bread's shelf-life and flavor compared to exclusive baker's yeast use and is believed to increase its nutritional quality and healthiness. Previous research established insight into the microbial ecology of sourdough, but the link between leavening agent use, processing, and bread quality remains elusive. However, such knowledge is key for standardization, research on the health benefits, and the definition of sourdough bread.

The Wheat Starchy Endosperm Protein Gradient as a Function of Cultivar and N-fertilization Is Reflected in Mill Stream Protein Content and Composition.

Within the wheat starchy endosperm, the protein content increases biexponentially from the inner to outer endosperm. Here, we studied how this protein gradient is reflected in mill fractions using three cultivars (Claire, Apache, and Akteur) grown without and with N-fertilization (300 kg N ha). The increasing protein content in successive break fractions was shown to reflect the protein gradient within the starchy endosperm.

Conversion of Retinyl Palmitate to Retinol by Wheat Bran Endogenous Lipase Reduces Vitamin A Stability.

Wheat bran can be used as a cost-effective food ingredient to stabilise vitamin A. However, wheat bran endogenous enzymes have been shown to reduce vitamin A stability. In this study, we elucidated the mechanism for this negative effect in an accelerated storage experiment with model systems consisting of native or toasted wheat bran, soy oil and retinyl palmitate (RP).

Toward Renewable-Based Prebiotics from Woody Biomass: Potential of Tailored Xylo-Oligosaccharides Obtained by Enzymatic Hydrolysis of Beechwood Xylan as a Prebiotic Feed Supplement for Young Broilers.

Although antibiotic resistance emerges naturally, this process has been accelerated by the worldwide overuse and misuse of antibiotics. It is essential to find effective alternatives in the broiler industry to improve poultry health while maintaining production efficiency and product safety. In this study, we aimed to evaluate a potential alternative: wood-derived xylo-oligosaccharides (XOS).

NanoLC-MS/MS protein analysis on laser-microdissected wheat endosperm tissues: A comparison between aleurone, sub-aleurone and inner endosperm.

Wheat kernel proteins are not homogeneously distributed throughout the endosperm. The goal of this study was to investigate the relative differences in protein composition between the aleurone, sub-aleurone and inner endosperm. Using laser microdissection followed by nanoLC-MS/MS, an innovative method combining high spatial specificity and analytical selectivity in sample-limited situations, 780 proteins were detected and classified by function.

Mechanistic understanding of the stabilisation of vitamin A in oil by wheat bran: The interplay between vitamin A degradation, lipid oxidation, and lipase activity.

Wheat bran stabilises vitamin A (retinyl palmitate, RP) in oil during storage, but the stabilisation mechanism remains unknown. We here studied the effect of the concentration of RP in oil (0.1-2%) and of RP-enriched oil in the system (5-50%) on the RP retention during accelerated storage of systems with native and toasted wheat bran.

Stabilization of Vitamin A by Cereal Bran: The Importance of the Balance between Antioxidants, Pro-oxidants, and Oxidation-Sensitive Components.

This study investigated the contribution of bran antioxidants and lipids to the stabilizing effect of cereal bran on vitamin A during accelerated storage. Hereto, wheat and rice bran samples subjected to a sequential extraction process were used. Vitamin A stabilization was more pronounced for wheat compared to rice bran.

Tumoral and peritumoral vascularization of brain tumours: a study comparing an intraoperative ultrasensitive Doppler and a preoperative first-pass perfusion MRI.

Introduction: Surgery for gliomas can be guided by neuronavigation using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and intraoperative B-mode ultrasound. An ultrasensitive Doppler (USD) using plane waves is a new method of microvascularization imaging which can be used intraoperatively and could identify tumoral and peritumoral areas with neoangiogenesis but its value requires evaluation. The aim of this pilot study then was to evaluate the correlations between ultrasound measurements of glioma vascularization (tumoral and peritumoral region) obtained by a USD intraoperatively and first-pass perfusion measurements obtained on preoperative MRI.

Excellent Clinical Outcomes and Return to Dance of 6 Active, Professional Ballet Dancers Aged Younger Than 40 Years at Total Hip Arthroplasty Through Direct Anterior Approach With a Custom Stem: A Case Report.

Objective: To report clinical outcomes and return to dance after total hip arthroplasty (THA) by direct anterior approach (DAA) using custom stems in young, active, professional ballet dancers.

Design: Case report.

Setting: Tertiary.

Stabilisation of vitamin A by wheat bran is affected by wheat bran antioxidants, bound lipids and endogenous lipase activity.

Food fortification is an efficient strategy to combat vitamin A deficiency. However, the stability of vitamin A during storage is low. Cereal bran can be used as a natural and affordable stabilising agent, but the mechanism behind this stabilisation remains unclear.
