Heat-induced denaturation and aggregation of protein in quinoa (Chenopodium quinoa Willd.) seeds and whole meal.

Physical barriers hinder about 20-25% of the protein from being extracted from whole meal. Heat-induced denaturation and aggregation of protein in quinoa seeds and in whole meal was investigated. Maximally 37% of the protein in seeds covalently aggregate when boiling for 15 min.

Do puroindolines affect the impact of enzymatic lipid hydrolysis on loaf volume in bread making?

This paper is the first to study whether and how interactions between puroindolines (PINs) and lipids affect bread loaf volume (LV). Flour from near-isogenic wheat lines differing in PIN haplotype and lipases were used in bread making. That lipase impact on LV strongly depended on the flour used supported the hypothesis that PINs modify the impact of enzymatic lipid hydrolysis on LV.
