PEEL with (in part) (Miss) R. BENNETTFlours of 70% extraction milled from five wheat varieties grown in the United States and two varieties grown in Britain have been examined for their lipid content and composition. Varietal, seasonal and environmental differences were demonstrated, and possible correlations with baking performance have emerged. The results are discussed in the light of theories concerning the action of fat in dough and breadmaking, and evidence supporting the existence of a ' non-oxidative ' mechanism of fat improvement is provided.Thin-layer chromatography has shown no qualitative differences in the lipid composition of the seven varieties. 1.2-and r,g-diglycerides have been separated and identified among the less polar lipids, and lysolecithin among the polar lipids. Two-dimensional thin-layer chromatography of flour lipid revealed 23 components. Proof of the presence of phosphatidyl choline and phosphatidyl ethanolamine in flour lipids is furnished. Spots corresponding to glycerophosphoryl inositol and glycerophosphoryl glycerol were observed in chromatograms of mild alkaline hydrolysates of flour lipid.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
