Effect of allelic variation at glutenin and puroindoline loci on bread-making quality: favorable combinations occur in less toxic varieties of wheat for celiac patients.

Genetically diverse wheat samples, twenty-seven Triticum aestivum L. varieties, grown in two environments (Portugal and Spain) were analyzed for their allelic composition in high-molecular-weight glutenin subunits (HMW-GS), low-molecular-weight glutenin subunits (LMW-GS) and puroindolines, as well as their protein content, hardness, sodium dodecyl sulfate-sedimentation (SDS-S), mixograph mixing time and breakdown resistance (MT and BDR, respectively) parameters,...

Effect of in situ gluten-chitosan interlocked self-assembled supramolecular architecture on rheological properties and functionality of reduced celiac-toxicity wheat flour

A new technology for reducing wheat flour toxicity for celiac disease patients through the in situ formation of gluten-chitosan interlocked self-assembled supramolecular architecture was developed. To have a deeper insight into the microstructure of this new molecular organization and its impact on the dough properties, its small and large deformation rheological properties and the macromolecular...

Triticum aestivum ssp. vulgare and ssp. spelta cultivars: 2. Bread-making optimisation

In this study, we analysed the bread quality parameters of five bread-making flour from single cultivars, namely two spelt wheats (‘Espelta Álava’ and ‘Espelta Navarra’) and three bread wheats (‘Bonpain’, ‘Craklin’ and ‘Sensas’). in European Food Research and Technology volume 245, 1399–1408 Leia o trabalho completo aqui.

Next-generation therapies for celiac disease: The gluten-targeted approaches.

Based on increasing knowledge of the pathogenesis of celiac disease, some gluten-targeted approaches have been devised, such as down-regulation of gliadin expression, proteolysis of immunodominant peptides, transamidation of glutamine residues and sequestering of gliadin proteins. The present work critically discusses these experimental therapies, their usefulness, and the results obtained, in order to infer what the...
