High-performance liquid chromatography was used to study the stability of folate vitamers in two types of rye breads after baking and 16 weeks of frozen storage. Bread made using sourdough seeds contained less total folate (74.6 microg/100 g dry basis, expressed as folic acid) than the whole rye flour (79.8 microg/100 g dry basis) and bread leavened only with baker's yeast (82.8 microg/100 g dry basis). Most importantly, it was generated by a significant decrease in 5-CH3-H4folate form. The baking process caused some changes in folate distribution. Storage of breads at -18 degrees C for 2 weeks did not have a significant effect (p < 0.05) on total folates compared to the content directly after baking. After a 5-weeks storage period, a significant decrease (p < 0.05) in the content of total folates was recorded and it dropped on average by 14% for both type of breads. After a longer period of storage (16 weeks), a 25% loss of folates in the bread made with baker's yeast and a 38% loss in the bread fermented with sourdough seeds was found. Retention of 5-CH3-H4folate and 10-HCO-H2folate forms were much lower in the bread made with a sourdough addition than with baker's yeast only.

Objective: To optimize the determination method of carotene in order to separate the alpha and beta carotene.

Methods: The homogenized samples were extracted with ethanol before saponification, and then extracted with petroleum ether followed by wash, dry and concentration. At last, the separation was performed on the high performance liquid chromatographic with YMC Carotenoid C30 column (3 microm 4.

A controlled simulation experiment was performed to assess whether dislodgeable arsenic can be tracked onto carpets via foot traffic from chromated copper arsenate (CCA) pressure-treated decks. The pilot simulation study demonstrated that it is possible to track arsenic from CCA-decks onto carpets under the test conditions evaluated. A total of nine CCA-decks and two non-CCA-treated control surfaces were tested under wet and dry conditions.

Biofortification of folates in white wheat bread by selection of yeast strain and process.

Int J Food Microbiol

September 2008

Department of Chemical and Biological Engineering/Food Science, Chalmers University of Technology, SE-412 96 Gothenburg, Sweden.

We here demonstrate that folate content in yeast fermented food can be dramatically increased by using a proper (i) yeast strain and (ii) cultivation procedure for the selected strain prior to food fermentation. Folate levels were 3 to 5-fold higher in white wheat bread leavened with a Saccharomyces cerevisiae strain CBS7764, cultured in defined medium and harvested in the respiro-fermentative phase of growth prior to dough preparation (135-139 microg/100 dry matter), compared to white wheat bread leavened with commercial Baker's yeast (27-43 microg/100 g). The commercial Baker's yeast strain had been industrially produced, using a fed-batch process, thereafter compressed and stored in the refrigerator until bakings were initiated.

Linolenic acid and folate in wild-growing African dark leafy vegetables (morogo).

Public Health Nutr

April 2009

1School of Environmental Sciences and Development, North-West University, Private Bag, Potchefstroom, South Africa.

Background: Transition from a low-fat vegetable-rich rural diet to a high-fat Westernised diet is considered a factor in the escalating occurrence of vascular-related diseases and type 2 diabetes in urban black South Africans. Consumption of morogo is a distinguishing feature of rural African diets.

Objective: To determine fatty acid profiles and folate contents of three widely consumed, wild-growing, African dark green leafy vegetables (morogo).
