Article Abstract
Background: Non-celiac wheat sensitivity (NCWS) is a poorly understood gluten-related disorder (GRD) and its prominent symptoms can be ameliorated by gluten avoidance. This study aimed to determine the effectiveness of a probiotic mixture in hydrolyzing gliadin peptides (toxic components of gluten) and suppressing gliadin-induced inflammatory responses in Caco-2 cells.
Methods: Wheat dough was fermented with a probiotic mix for 0, 2, 4, and 6 h. The effect of the probiotic mix on gliadin degradation was monitored by SDS-PAGE. The expression levels of IL-6, IL-17A, INF-γ, IL-10, and TGF-β were evaluated using ELISA and qRT-PCR methods.
Results: According to our findings, fermenting wheat dough with a mix of , , and for 6 h was effective in gliadin degradation. This process also reduced levels of IL-6 ( = 0.004), IL-17A ( = 0.004), and IFN-γ ( = 0.01) mRNA, as well as decreased IL-6 ( = 0.006) and IFN-γ ( = 0.0009) protein secretion. 4 h fermentation led to a significant decrease in IL-17A ( = 0.001) and IFN-γ ( = 0.003) mRNA, as well as reduced levels of IL-6 ( = 0.002) and IFN-γ ( < 0.0001) protein secretion. This process was also observed to increase the expression levels of IL-10 ( < 0.0001) and TGF-β ( < 0.0001) mRNA.
Conclusions: 4 h fermentation of wheat flour with the proposed probiotic mix might be a good strategy to develop an affordable gluten-free wheat dough for NCWS and probably other GRD patients.

Background: Solar radiation is a primary constraint in silvoarable agroforestry, with yield losses near the trees well documented in temperate climates. However, genetic variability for shade tolerance remains largely unexplored. This 2-year field trial investigated the impact of artificial shading - using nets that reduced photosynthetically active radiation (PAR) by moderate (-30%) and severe (-50%) levels relative to full sun - on the morpho-physiology and yield of common wheat.

This study investigated the effects of ultrasonication on the pasting, morphological, thermal, and rheological properties of wheat flour and dough, highlighting its potential as a green and sustainable processing technology. Wheat flour was treated with ultrasonic energy levels ranging from 40 to 140 kJ for 20 min. Rapid visco analysis (RVA) showed that at 40 kJ, peak viscosity increased from 1045.

Wheat germ is a by-product of wheat flour milling and processing, and is valued for being the nutrient-rich center of wheat grains. In this study, hot air-stabilized wheat germ with five different particle sizes (coarse, medium, fine, ultrafine, and very fine) was prepared and mixed with wheat flour (WF) in a ratio of 8:92. The study focused on the effect of particle size of stabilized wheat germ on the thermomechanical, dynamic rheological, and fermentation properties of wheat flour and the quality of steamed bread.

This paper aims to study the potential of whey, a by-product in the dairy industry, to be used as a sustainable and health-promoting ingredient in baking. In this regard, whey powder (WhF) was produced and incorporated into three composite flours consisting of wheat flour and whey powder in proportions of 5% (WhWF5), 10% (WhWF10), and 15% (WhWF15). These composite flours were then used to produce bread.

There is a growing interest within the food industry sector in applying natural and sustainable methods to improve functional, nutritional, and technological properties of foods. In this regard, sprouting and spontaneous sourdough (SD) fermentation, are emerging as promising technological solutions in the bakery industry. The aim of this work was to evaluate the effect of using unsprouted whole-wheat flour (USWF) and sprouted whole-wheat flours (SWFs), obtained under controlled conditions (20 and 25 °C for 24 h), on the chemical and nutritional properties of spontaneous SD and their impact on whole-wheat bread technological quality.
