Cereal grading

The American Association of Cereal Chemists has made avaUable a certified food grade wheat bran as a reference standard for research purposes. This bran is a blend of soft white wheat (87.3%) and club white wheat (12.7%). 

Bioethanol is the largest biofuel today and is used in low 5%—10% blends with gasoline (E5, E10), but also as E85 in flexible-fuel vehicles. Conventional production is a well known process, based on the enzymatic conversion of starchy biomass (cereals) into sugars, and fermentation of 6-carbon sugars with final distillation of ethanol to fuel grade.

Kwashiorkor is a type of malnutrition associated with insufficient protein intake, usually affecting children aged 1-4 years, although it can also occur in older children and adults. It is likely caused by a combination of factors (protein deficiency, energy and micronutrient deficiency). The absence of lysine in low-grade cereal proteins (used as a dietary mainstay in many underdeveloped countries) can lead to kwashiorkor.

Rice Oryza sativd) is an important cereal with an annual production of over 500-800 million tons. To produce white rice, the hull is removed and the bran layer is abraded giving 8-10% of the rice grain. The bran contains the testa, cross cells, aleurone cells, part of the aleurone layer, and the germ and includes almost all of the oil of the rice coreopsis. Gopala Krishna (45) considers that there is a potential for over 5 million tons of rice bran oil per annum, but present production is only about 0.7 million tons and not all of this is of food grade. India (0.50 million tons), China (0.12 million tons), and Japan (0.08 million tons) are the major countries producing rice bran oil. 

It is possible to prepare well-defined food grade microemulsions from extracted cereal lipids. Their structure is similar to that of the sponge or Lj phase. The other main type of microemulsion formed by food lipids has the L2 structure, and it can be prepared from liquid mixtures of mono- and triglycerides. An important application of microemulsions is to provide improved antioxidation effectiveness because of the possibility of a synergistic effect between hydrophilic and lipophilic antioxidants, as was illustrated in systems with soybean oil and fish oils.
