  Hashempour-Baltork, F.; Torbati, M.; Azadmard-Damirchi, S.; Savage, Geoffrey P. (Wiley, 2018-01)

  Puffed corn snacks are tasty and affordable cereal-based food products which have a relatively poor nutritional quality. Sesame seed is a rich source of essential amino and fatty acids, phenolic compounds, tocopherols, and ...

• The effect on starch pasting properties and predictive glycaemic response of muffin batters using Stevianna or inulin as a sucrose replacer 

  Gao, Jingrong; Fezhong, H.; Guo, X.; Zeng, X.-A.; Mason, Susan L.; Brennan, Margaret A.; Brennan, Charles S. (Wiley-VCH Verlag, 2018-09)

  Different levels of sugar replacers (inulin or Stevianna) are used in two muffin batter recipes differing in sugar:flour ratios. The properties of these sugar replacers are linked to differences in batter viscosity, starch ...

• Alfalfa coumestrol content in response to development stage, fungi, aphids, and cultivar 

  Fields, Rachel; Barrell, Graham K.; Gash, Alan; Zhao, Jenny H.; Moot, Derrick J. (American Society of Agronomy, 2018-03-29)

  Coumestrol produced by alfalfa (Medicago sativa L.) can reduce the ovulation rate of ewes. This study isolated agronomic factors that affect coumestrol levels in alfalfa. Fungal diseases explained most differences in ...

• Finger flow development in layered water-repellent soils 

  Wang, Yichen; Li, Y.; Wang, X.; Chau, Henry (Soil Science Society of America and the Geological Society of America, 2018-05-03)

  Finger flow in water-repellent (WR) soils influences the transport of water, solutes in soil significantly, but the mechanics of finger flow occurrence in layered WR soils is not clear. Soil chamber infiltration experiments ...
