旱作对稻米加工品质的影响

以IR64为受体的抗旱基因聚合杂交后代150个新品系为材料,对其在旱作和水作条件下的加工品质进行了测定,分析了旱作和水作处理下稻米加工品质的差异性和关系,结果表明:旱作降低了稻米的加工品质,其中对整精米率的影响最大,其次是精米率,对糙米率的影响较小;随着糙米率和精米率的增加,旱作比水作处理的糙米率降低的越多;整精米率中到较高的范围内,旱作与水作的差异较稳定。但也存在着少数抗旱新品系在旱作条件下和水作条件下相近甚至稍高一些,这些品系在旱作条件下其加工品质影响较小甚至基本上不受影响,可作为旱作推广的良好品系,同时也可以作为抗旱资源加以改造和利用。     

新疆春小麦品种磨粉品质与拉面加工品质的关系

为探讨新疆春小麦磨粉品质与面粉品质性状以及新疆拉面加工品质的关系,为新疆春小麦品种改良、新疆拉面专用品种选育以及新疆拉面加工品质改良提供理论依据,以36个新疆春小麦品种为试验材料,分析出粉率、灰分、色泽、粗细度等磨粉品质性状与面粉品质、面团品质和淀粉糊化粘度特性以及新疆拉面加工品质特性的关系。结果表明,新疆春小麦品种面粉色泽是磨粉品质的重要性状,与其他磨粉品质、面粉品质性状及新疆拉面加工品质呈显著相关。因此,在春小麦品种加工新疆拉面的品质改良中应重视磨粉品质的改良,特别是面粉色泽的改良,同时也要提高出粉率、降低灰分和破损淀粉率。新疆拉面的磨粉品质指标为出粉率≥60.77%,灰分≤0.45%,破损淀粉率≤3.77%,面粉颗粒度≤108.14%,亮度(L*值)≥90.86,红度(a*值)≥-0.82,黄度(b*值)≤9.00。     

Effects of allelic variation of HMW-GS and LMW-GS on mixograph properties and Chinese noodle and steamed bread qualities in a set of Aroona near-isogenic wheat lines

High-molecular-weight glutenin (HMW-GS) and low-molecular-weight glutenin (LMW-GS) subunits play an important role in determining wheat quality. To clarify the contribution of each subunit/allele to processing quality, 25 near-isogenic lines with different HMW-GS and LMW-GS compositions grown at two locations during the 2010 cropping season were used to investigate the effects of allelic variation on milling parameters, mixograph properties, raw white Chinese noodle (RWCN) and northern style Chinese steamed bread (NSCSB) qualities. The results showed that Glu-B1 and Glu-B3 made a large contribution to determining mixograph properties and processing quality, respectively. Subunit pairs 17 + 18 and 5 + 10, and alleles Glu-A3b, Glu-A3d, Glu-B3g and Glu-D3f made significant contributions to mixograph properties and no significant difference was detected on most parameters of RWCN and NSCSB for the allelic variation of HMW-GS and LMW-GS. The allelic interactions among glutenin loci had significant effects on wheat quality. The line with 1, 17 + 18, 2 + 12, Glu-A3c, Glu-B3b, Glu-D3c associated with superior mixograph properties, the line with 1, 7 + 9, 2 + 12, Glu-A3c, Glu-B3d, Glu-D3c had superior viscoelasticity of RWCN, and the line with 1, 7 + 9, 2 + 12, Glu-A3e, Glu-B3b, Glu-D3c had the highest total score of NSCSB. These results provide useful information for genetic improvement of the qualities of traditional Chinese wheat products.     

Mineral element distributions in milling fractions of Chinese wheats

Malnutrition related to micronutrient deficiency can create immense economic and societal problems. The objective of this study was to quantify the mineral element concentration distribution in milled fractions, using 43 common wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) cultivars sown in Jinan, China during the 2005–2006 crop season. All 43 cultivars had low Fe (average 28.2 mg Kg⁻¹) and Zn (28.6 mg Kg⁻¹) concentrations, and wide ranges of variation for mineral element concentrations. Highly significant effects among milling fractions and cultivars on all traits were observed, with fraction effect being the larger. There was an uneven distribution of mineral element concentrations in wheat grain. Shorts and bran fractions had the highest mineral element concentrations, whereas flours from break and reduction had low concentrations. Compared with those in the central endosperm, the concentration of inorganic phosphorus (Pi) decreased the most with decreasing flour yield, whereas the concentration of phytic acid P (PAP), phytase activity, and Ca decreased the least. Pi was the most concentrated element in the aleurone, whereas PAP, phytase activity, and Ca were the least, compared to those in the central endosperm. Milling technique through adjusting flour yield can be used to improve the element composition of flour.     

Properties of maize starch modified by ball milling in ethanol medium and low field NMR determination of the water molecular mobility in their gels

Ethanol as moisturizing agent and ball-milling treatment, has been combined in order to determine their impacts on the improvement of the properties of physically modified maize (Zea mays) starch granules. The content of ethanol has been set respecting a ratio of starch to ethanol varying from 1:0 to 1:3 (w:v), and the ball-milling time varied between 0 and 72 h. We observed that the increase of the amylose content varied in a more effective way with increase of the milling time (p < 0.05) than with the variation of the starch to ethanol ratios. As expected, modified starches were more transparent, more soluble, less crystalline, and presented damaged structures. In all cases, the starch granule sizes were better distributed at ratios of starch to ethanol of 1:0 and 1:3 (w:v) respectively. In addition, the impact of the combination of these treatments on the mobility of water molecules in starch gels characterized by the transverse relaxation time (T₂), as well as the abundance of protons (¹H T₂) in each populations were determined by low field NMR. Mobility of water molecules within starch gels increased at high temperature. Nonetheless, the proton population at T₂ > 10 ms (characterized by T₂₂) for the modified starch (starch/ethanol, 1:3 w:v) was fundamental in the different water concentrations, and accounts for 70 to 90% of total protons, at temperatures >60 °C.     

Biochemical markers: Efficient tools for the assessment of wheat grain tissue proportions in milling fractions

To produce safe and healthy whole wheat food products, various grain or bran dry fractionation processes have been developed recently. In order to control the quality of the products and to adapt these processes, it is important to be able to monitor the grain tissue proportions in the different milling fractions produced. Accordingly, a quantitative method based on biochemical markers has been developed for the assessment of grain tissue proportions in grain fractions. Grain tissues that were quantified were the outer pericarp, an intermediate layer (including the outer pericarp, the testa and the hyaline layer), the aleurone cell walls, the aleurone cell contents, the endosperm and the germ, for two grain cultivars (Tiger and Crousty). Grain tissues were dissected by hand and analysed. Biochemical markers chosen were ferulic acid trimer, alkylresorcinols, para-coumaric acid, phytic acid, starch and wheat germ agglutinin, for outer pericarp, intermediate layer, aleurone cell walls, aleurone cell contents, endosperm and germ respectively. The results of tissue quantification by hand dissection and by calculation were compared and the sensitivity of the method was regarded as good (mean relative errors of 4% and 8% for Crousty and Tiger outer layers respectively). The impact of the analytical variability (maximum 13% relative error on coarse bran) was also regarded as acceptable. Wheat germ agglutinin seems to be a promising marker of wheat germ: even if the quantification method was not able to quantify the germ proportions in milling fractions, it was able to classify these fractions according to their germ content. The efficiency of this method was tested, by assessing the grain tissue proportions of fractions exhibiting very different compositions such as flour, bran and aleurone-rich fractions obtained from three different grain or bran dry fractionation processes (conventional milling, debranning process, production of aleurone-rich fractions from coarse bran). By calculation of the composition of the different products generated, it was possible to study the distribution of the different tissues among fractions resulting from the different fractionation processes. This quantitative method is thus a useful tool for the monitoring and improvement of processes, and allows the effects of these processes to be understood and their adaption to reach the objectives.

Use of fermented milling by-products as functional ingredient to develop a low-glycaemic index bread

Selected Lactobacillus plantarum DSM 32248 and Lactobacillus rossiae DSM 32249, isolated and identified from wheat germ, were used to ferment a milling by-products mixture. Lactic acid bacteria metabolisms improved the functional properties of wheat bran and germ, which are considered important sources of functional compounds. Wheat breads were manufactured using 15% (w/w) of fermented (and unfermented) milling by-products, and compared to baker’s yeast wheat bread manufactured without the addition of milling by-products. The use of the fermented ingredient improved the biochemical, functional, nutritional, textural, and sensory features of wheat bread, showing better performances compared to the solely use of wheat flour. Protein digestibility, nutritional indexes, and the rate of starch hydrolysis markedly improved using fermented milling by-products as ingredient. Enriched bread was also characterized by high content of dietary fibre and low glycaemic index determined in vivo.This study exploited the potential of fermented milling by products as functional ingredient. According to the Regulations the bread made under this study conditions can be defined as “high fibre content” and “low glycaemic index”. A number of advantages encouraged the manufacture of novel and healthy and functional leavened baked goods.     

Pins基因等位变异对磨粉品质和新疆拉面加工品质的影响

为了探讨新疆冬小麦品种Pins基因等位变异对小麦磨粉品质和新疆拉面加工品质的影响,对109份新疆冬小麦品种的籽粒硬度及其Pins基因等位变异、磨粉品质和新疆拉面加工品质进行测定,初步分析了新疆冬小麦品种资源籽粒硬度Pins基因的分布规律以及不同 Pins基因等位变异对籽粒硬度、磨粉品质和新疆拉面加工品质的影响。结果表明,新疆冬小麦品种属硬质麦类型,Pins基因型以 Pina-D1a、 Pinb-D1b和 Pina-D1a/ Pinb-D1b为主, Pins突变类型及Pins突变基因型组合类型小麦的籽粒硬度均显著高于野生型, Pinb-D1a基因型小麦的籽粒硬度最低,L^*值和a^*值最高,b^*值最低; Pinb-D1ab基因型小麦的吸水率最高。不同Pins基因型组合中,野生型小麦的籽粒硬度、b^*值和吸水率最低; Pina-D1a/ Pinb-D1aa的出粉率最高, Pina-D1a/ Pinb-D1ab的灰分含量最低,吸水率最高。Pins基因及其基因型组合对新疆拉面加工品质无直接影响,主要通过对灰分、面粉色泽和吸水率等磨粉品质的作用对新疆拉面产生间接影响。优质新疆拉面品种中,Pinb基因突变对新疆拉面加工品质的影响大于Pina基因突变,育种中应优先选择Pinb 基因突变型材料,其中 Pina-D1a/ Pinb-D1b可以作为重点选择的基因型组合。     

Transformation of Pinb-D1x to soft wheat produces hard wheat kernel texture

Kernel hardness - a key quality trait of common wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) - is mainly conditioned by the Pina and Pinb genes. Mutation or deletion of Pina or Pinb increases kernel hardness, resulting in a hard wheat kernel texture. Here, Pinb-D1x gene was cloned from a hard wheat landrace Kashibaipi and transformed into a soft wheat cultivar Yangmai19 to assess its effect on kernel hardness and flour properties. PCR, RT-PCR and Western blot data confirmed the successful transformation and overexpression of Pinb-D1x gene in transgenic offsprings. The data of single kernel characterization system and scanning electron microscopy revealed that the introduction of Pinb-D1x in soft wheat increased the kernel hardness significantly and changed the internal structure of the kernel. Similarly, transgenic lines exhibited hard wheat like flour properties; flour whiteness and pasting temperature were significantly reduced in the transgenic lines, while the total protein content, damaged starch content, and compound parameter in the Mixograph tests (PT × TW value) showed a significant increase over the wildtype. The results showed that the transformation of the Pinb variants is a powerful strategy to alter the kernel hardness and flour properties in wheat breeding.
