A mixture of milled flaxseed, turmeric powder and piperine for prolonging the shelf life of milled flaxseed.

A composition comprising a whole grain with hydrolyzed starch. Although the starch can shift from relatively higher molecular weight moieties to relatively lower molecular weight moieties during hydrolysis, the relative proportions of the principal anatomical components of the caryopses of the grain—the starchy endosperm, germ and bran—remain approximately the same as evinced, for example, by the weight percentages and relative mass ratios of starch, fat, protein, dietary fiber, beta-glucan, and sugar in the composition. Additionally, the whole grain composition can be a powder, for example, a flour, and the whole grain composition can be granulated to a desired size to provide a powder that is highly dispersible in liquid. When gelatinized, hydrated and dispersed in a liquid, the whole grain with hydrolyzed starch can have a lower viscosity, grittiness, and graininess compared to the same variety of whole grain with unhydrolyzed starch.

Described herein is a method of manufacturing a soluble flour comprising preparing a flour-water slurry, adjusting the pH of the slurry to a pH ranging from 3.5-6, adding an enzyme to the pH adjusted slurry in an amount ranging from 0.02-2.0 g enzyme/g flour to form a reaction mixture, cooking the reaction mixture at a temperature ranging from 60-140 C until a dextrose equivalent of 5 to 18 is achieved, inactivating enzyme to obtain a soluble flour; and adjusting pH of the soluble flour to range from 4-5. The soluble flour obtained has a dextrose equivalent value ranging from 5 to 18, a solubility greater than 50% (at 5% solids), and a viscosity between 0.001 and 1.0 Pa* at temperatures ranging from 20-50 C (at 10% solids).

The present invention provides a wheat plant comprising an Rht-B1 allele which encodes an Rht-B1 (DELLA) polypeptide. Grain from a near-isogenic wheat line comprising the dwarfing Rht-B1c allele was subjected to sodium azide mutagenesis. Plants exhibiting early leaf elongation rates or mature plant height greater than the dwarf parent were selected and the Rht-B1 gene sequenced. This identified 35 mutated alleles of Rht-B1c. Similar methods were also used to identify mutant alleles of the dwarfing sln1d allele in barley, where DELLA is encoded by the sln1 gene.

The present invention relates to methods of producing a food or malt-based beverage suitable for consumption by a subject with Coeliac's disease. In particular, the present invention relates to methods of producing a food or malt-based beverage with very low levels of hordeins. Also provided are barley plants which produce grain that can be used in the methods of the invention.

The present invention relates to a fat-based filling comprising fat, sugar and micronized cereal bran, preferably micronized wheat bran. In particular the invention relates to a sugar reduced fat-based filling comprising fat, sugar and micronized cereal bran, preferably micronized wheat bran. The present invention further relates to a food composition comprising the fat-based filling of the present invention. The present invention further relates to the use of micronized cereal bran, in particular micronized wheat bran, to reduce sugar content of a fat-based filling.

The present invention discloses a nutritional dietary formulation with an appropriate weight of weeds comprising whole weed Amaranthus retroflexus (pigweed), whole weed Taraxacum officinale (dandelion) excluding unwanted parts of the roots, whole weed Urtica dioica (stinging nettles) excluding its nettles, and whole weed Chenopodium album (lamb's quarters), in the ratio of 5:4:2:4 and corn meal in amount of 250 grams. It is prepared from ubiquitously available and otherwise discarded weeds and cornmeal. Thus, it is economical. Further, it is a wholesome meal that supplies calories both quantitatively and qualitatively. The micronutrients are also balanced. The present invention provides dietary nutritional formulations that meet the Recommended Dietary Allowance (RDA) of all types of human groups including the healthy human beings and under nourished human population.

The present invention provides wheat grain of the species Triticum aestivum, the grain comprising i) mutations in each of its SSIIa genes such that the grain is homozygous for a mutation in its SSIIa-A gene, homozygous for a mutation in its SSIIa-B gene and homozygous for a mutation in its SSIIa-D gene, wherein at least two of the mutations in said SSIIa genes are null mutations, mutations in each of its SSIIIa genes such that the grain is homozygous for a mutation in its SSIIIa-A gene, homozygous for a mutation in its SSIIIa-B gene and homozygous for a mutation in its SSIIIa-D gene, wherein at least two of the mutations in said SSIIIa genes are null mutations ii) a total starch content comprising an amylose content and an amylopectin content, iii) a fructan content which is increased relative to wild-type wheat grain on a weight basis, preferably between 3% and 12% of the grain weight, iv) a -glucan content, v) an arabinoxylan content, vi) a cellulose content.
The grain has a weight of between 25 mg and 60 mg, and the amylose content is between 45% and 70% on a weight basis of the total starch content of the grain as determined by iodine binding assay. The amylopectin content on a weight basis is reduced relative to the wild-type wheat grain, and each of the -glucan content, arabinoxylan content and cellulose content are increased relative to the wild-type wheat grain on a weight basis, such that the sum of the fructan content, -glucan content, arabinoxylan content and cellulose content is between 15% and 30% of the grain weight.

A combination for improving intestinal micro-ecology and preventing chronic diseases includes an inulin, a galactooligosaccharide and a dietary fiber composite, wherein the ratio of the inulin, the galactooligosaccharide and the dietary fiber composite in a formula is (1-75):(1-75):(5-95). Preferably, the ratio is (10-50):(10-50):(25-50). A balanced nutritious food includes cereal flour and the ratio of the cereal flour to the combination in a formula is (50-95):(5-50). Preferably, the ratio is (70-95):(30-5). Moreover, provided is an application in preparing foods or medicaments for preventing inflammatory bowel disease, improving gastrointestinal motility and preventing constipation, preventing diabetes, preventing cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, and regulating intestinal flora to enhance immune ability.

The invention relates to food industry and medicine and describes the method of producing transformed plant cells, containing recombinant human alkaline phosphatase, and their use for maintaining the homeostasis of gastrointestinal tract as an agent, regulating gastrointestinal tract microflora and the immune system.
