FEATURED SCIENCE

Functional Food Research

​Opportunities to increase whole grain intake within the Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children (WIC)​

Joanne Slavin and colleagues​ highlight several of the key recommendations from the National Academy of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine (NASEM) report in 2017, such as adopting a whole grain-rich definition for breakfast cereals and providing only whole grain-rich cereals in WIC food packages.​

Assessment and management of the risk of unintended contamination of wheat by soy allergens in silos

Commingling of grains during storage increases the risk of unintended allergens in cereal products. Reproducing the cross-contamination between batches of wheat and soybeans, Katell Crépon and Florent Duyme​ evaluate the allergen risk with the storage of wheat and soya in the same silo facility.

Predicting single kernel and bulk milled rice alkali spreading value and gelatinization temperature class using NIR spectroscopy

Paul Armstrong and colleagues demonstrate the potential of single kernel NIR spectroscopy as a high throughput means for predicting gelatinization temperature (GT) from alkali spreading value (ASV) scores for rice classification. Calibrations for ASV as a predictor of GT class will be highly beneficial while not requiring additional resources.
