Protein, separation wheat

Wafer Flour. Wafer flour is a type of biscuit flour with the same basic specification of low protein soft wheat flour with a low starch damage. Once again the required dough property is extensibility. The only differences are that if the protein is too low the wafer will be too soft to handle, and if the protein is too high the wafer will be too hard. The other important property is a resistance to gluten separation. Wafer flours are likely to be brown. 

Most of the applications of HPLC for protein analysis deal with the storage proteins in cereals (wheat, corn, rice, oat, barley) and beans (pea, soybeans). HPLC has proved useful for cultivar identihcation, protein separation, and characterization to detect adulterations (illegal addition of common wheat flour to durum wheat flour) [107]. Recently Losso et al. [146] have reported a rapid method for rice prolamin separation by perfusion chromatography on a RP POROS RH/2 column (UV detection at 230nm), sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS)-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (PAGE), and molecular size determination by MALDl-MS. DuPont et al. [147] used a combination of RP-HPLC and SDS-PAGE to determine the composition of wheat flour proteins previously fractionated by sequential extraction. 

In this paper, we will explore the measurement of and the basis for the cohesive and elastic properties of a commonly used component of foods that excels in these characteristics, wheat gluten. Gluten constitutes from 10 to 16% of wheat flour, from which it may be separated by Martin, batter, or Raisio processes (2, 3). The separated wheat gluten is 70 to 80% protein, of which 85% is insoluble in saline solution. We shall also seek to correlate some of the basic concepts developed in studies of gluten to other protein systems, such as those of soybean protein isolates and concentrates.

A direct approach to determining composition-functionality relationships begins by separating the different chemical components. Once the components have been isolated—say, from a cereal flour—it is possible to proceed in two main ways. The first is to add the component in different amounts to the flour and measure the response in terms of some parameter of functionality. This approach has been used for elucidating the effects of lipids and proteins of wheat flour.

The first two reports on the use of flow FFF for separating wheat proteins appeared in the literature in 1996 when researchers firom two independent laboratories reported characterization of wheat proteins from different varieties extracted by different methods and analyzed on two different types of flow FFF apparatus. Wahlund et al. - used asymmetrical flow FFF to examine proteins extracted firom two bread wheat varieties of different protein content using sequential extraction with increasing concentrations of dilute hydrochloric acid (HCl). Stevenson and Preston used symmetrical flow FFF to examine proteins extracted firom Katepwa, a high quahty bread wheat variety, using a modification of the traditional Osborne extraction procedure. Results from both studies showed that for the monomeric gliadin-type fractions ranged in size from 8 to... 

A new assay for pancreatic and salivary amylases in sera requires neither electrophoresis nor chromatography. It is based on inhibition of the salivary amylases with a protein from wheat, which allows the pancreatic amylases to be estimated separately. The assay was used to measure the levels of pancreatic and salivary amylases in the sera of healthy men and women and individuals with pancreatitis, mumps, and other diseases.

Separation of flours into high-protein and low-protein fractions—In the past, high-protein hard wheats were used to make flours suitable for yeast-leavened doughs and low-protein soft wheats yielded flours for quick breads. Now, either type of wheat may be milled and separated into high- protein and low-protein fractions by swirling streams of air in a process called air classification. This procedure enables millers to produce flours to meet customers requirements. 

Foam fractionation is a relatively inexpensive technique for protein separation. Most studies in the literature are, however, experimental and very few report on industrial appUcations. Among other appUcations, foam liaclionation has been used to separate wheat flour proteins, ovalbumin, lysozyme, egg albumin, milk proteins (e.g., beta-casein, bovine lactoferrin, bovine serum albumin, alpha-lactalbumin, and beta-lactoglobulin) and potato protein from potato juice waste water after starch extraction (Weijenberg et al., 1978 Keller et al., 1997 Hossain and Fenton, 1998 Brown et al., 1999 Wang and Liu, 2(X)3 Wang etal., 2009). 

Soft-wheat flours are sold for general family use, as biscuit or cake flours, and for the commercial production of crackers, pretzels, cakes, cookies, and pastry. The protein in soft wheat flour mns from 7 to 10%. There are differences in appearance, texture, and absorption capacity between hard- and soft-wheat flour subjected to the same milling procedures. Hard-wheat flour falls into separate particles if shaken in the hand whereas, soft-wheat flour tends to clump and hold its shape if pressed together. Hard-wheat flour feels slightly coarse and granular when mbbed between the fingers soft-wheat flour feels soft and smooth. Hard-wheat flour absorbs more Hquid than does soft-wheat flour. Consequently, many recipes recommend a variable measure of either flour or Hquid to achieve a desired consistency. 

Imported maize is the raw material for several food ingredients used in the bakery industry. While maize can be dry milled like wheat, it is more commonly wet milled. The wet milling process is much better suited to separating the different components of maize so that the oil, the protein and the starch can be recovered separately. Maize starch is used directly in bakery products as corn flour, so-called even in the UK. 

A cost efficient way to utilize wheat in ethanol production has been developed by researchers from Greece and the U.K. This process splits the grain into separate components, separating out the nonfermentable solids, and then uses a group of enzymes to ferment the proteins and starches using a single liquefaction and saccharification step. 

Identification of oat (Avena) cultivars by HPLC was first reported by Lookhart and coworkers (153-155) in combined electrophoresis/HPLC experiments. The HPLC technique used was a modification of the procedure described by Bietz (137) for wheat. Generally, the prolamin fraction, i.e., the alcohol-soluble fraction, of oat species generates complex polyacrylamide gel-electrophoresis (PAGE) and RP-HPLC patterns, with increasing complexity as ploidy of the selections increased. Readily (visible) identification of the cultivars was possible only when PAGE and RP-HPLC results were combined. An HPLC procedure for the characterization of the major oat protein fractions was developed by Lapvetelainen et al. (156). Salt-soluble, alcohol-soluble, and alkali-soluble protein fractions were extracted with 0.1 M NaCl, 52% ethanol, and 1% SDS in 0.05 M borate (pH 10), respectively. For the five cultivars examined, RP-HPLC separations of salt- and alkali-soluble proteins were very similar, whereas the prolamin fraction enabled culti-var differentiation, except for very closely related cultivars.
