Modifications of mechanical properties of wheat dough during thermal treatments depend mainly on the capacity of wheat gluten proteins to establish intra- and intermolecular interactions when subjected to high-temperature processing. The present study investigates the effect of thermal treatments on the mechanical properties and protein solubility of wheat gluten-based network. The increase in treatment temperatures (from 80 to 135 C) induces an increase in mechanical resistance of the gluten network (tensile strength increases from 0.26 to 2.04 MPa) and a decrease in deformability (elongation decreases from 468 to 236%). The increase in temperature (from 80 to 135 C) also induces a very strong reduction of protein solubility in 2% SDS (from 68 to 0%) that could be correlated to the mechanical changes observed. It was concluded that the modifications of the wheat gluten network properties seem to depend mainly on the temperature level, as temperatures >108-116 C allow activation of thermosetting reactions.

Variations in the End-Use Quality of Whole Grain Flour Are Closely Related to the Metabolites in the Grains of Pigmented Wheat ( L.).

Whole grain flour is considered a part of a healthy diet, especially when produced with pigmented wheat (). However, the specific metabolic pathways and mechanisms by which these metabolites affect the end-use quality of pigmented wheat varieties still need to be better understood. This study examined the relationship between metabolite concentrations and the end-use quality of three wheat varieties: common wheat (CW, JM20), black wheat (BW, HJ1), and green wheat (GW, HZ148).

Non-celiac gluten/wheat sensitivity (NCGWS) is a syndrome for which pathogenesis and management remain debated. It is described as a condition characterized by gastrointestinal and extra-intestinal symptoms rapidly occurring after gluten ingestion in subjects who have had celiac disease or wheat allergy excluded. To date, the diagnosis of NCGWS is challenging as no universally recognized biomarkers have been yet identified, nor has a predisposing genetic profile been described.

Background: The low molecular weight glutenin subunits (LMW-GS) of wheat have great effects on food processing quality, but the resolution of LMW-GS and the scoring of their alleles by direct analysis of proteins are difficult due to the larger number of expressed subunits and high similarity of DNA sequences. It is important to identify and classify the LMW-GS genes in order to recognize the LMW-GS alleles clearly and develop the functional markers.
Methods: The LMW-GS genes registered in GenBank were searched at NCBI, and 593 genes with complete coding sequences were obtained, including 146 , 136 , and 311 .
Quality Characteristics and In Vitro Digestibility of Starch Gel in White Noodles Prepared with Short-Chain Glucan Aggregates (SCGA).

Department of Food Science and Biotechnology, Institute of Life Science and Resources, Graduate School of Biotechnology, Kyung Hee University, Yongin 17104, Republic of Korea.
Short-chain glucan aggregates (SCGA), a type of resistant starch (RS) Ⅲ, is produced by debranching amylopectin with pullulanase and inducing self-assembly. Despite its low digestibility and high RS content, SCGA has not been applied to real food systems, especially noodles. The objective of this study was to determine the feasibility of low-digestible noodles using SCGA and to evaluate their quality characteristics and in vitro digestibility of starch gel.

The fractionation and reconstitution method was employed to investigate the impact of different proportions of A-type (AS) and B-type (BS) wheat starch on the quality of liangpi and its potential mechanism, with traditional gluten-removed liangpi (RGL) as a control. The results demonstrated that a higher AS/BS ratio led to an increase in hardness, resilience, and chewiness. Moreover, the sensory scores for BS-dominated liangpi were significantly lower than those for AS-dominated liangpi, and liangpi with 60 % AS had the highest sensory scores.
