Abstract

Wheat, Triticum aestivum is one of the grains consumed worldwide as a staple food used in a variety of processed commodities. The rheological properties of the raw commodity will define the end product’s characteristics, whether it is of high quality or not. Moreover, the processes of, e.g., grinding, crushing, etc., of grain will also determine the flour’s content, which will further go on for other processes and be delivered to the consumer in the end product. To that end, the properties and effects of different wheat flour contents were analyzed for different types of flour 550, 1050 and whole grain flour available in Germany. These samples were analyzed to select the best-suited commodity for industrial purposes. Falling number, gluten percentage, starch content, viscosity and farinograph were determined for flour during baking test and bread volume for its products. Three types of flour with different content percentages were tested for comparison to find the best-suited type for the baking purpose among them. Among the types 550, 1050 and whole grain flour, the parameters are fitter for bread baking process is 550 type as the results show falling number = 450.25; 334; 296.87; starch (%) = 75.45; 69.72; 64.75; gluten (%) = 38.65; 31.84 and 21.44, and bread volume is 400, 340 and 300 ml respectively. This study suggested that flour with more starch content and a falling number will produce a reasonable volume and more appealing bread regarding sensory attributes.

Abstract

The COVID-19 pandemic has sparked a paradigm change in pandemic preparedness measures, motivating an investigation of non-pharmaceutical therapies. This research dives into the lessons learned from COVID-19 to strengthen our strategy to prevent future pandemics. The study aimed to extract valuable insights from the COVID-19 experience, extrapolating lessons learned to develop strong strategies that include diet, lifestyle, risk factors and non-pharmaceutical treatments. Nutrition and lifestyle influences on illness susceptibility were studied using a comprehensive examination of scholarly literature, reports and epidemiological studies. Role of essential risk variables was investigated in magnifying pandemic outcomes and the efficiency of non-pharmaceutical treatments in reducing infectious agent transmission. The analysis demonstrates the long-term utility of COVID-19 findings. This review emphasizes the importance of nutrition and lifestyle variables in determining susceptibility to infectious illnesses. Furthermore, a detailed examination of risk variables shows critical predictors of pandemic severity. Most significantly, the findings highlight the effectiveness of non-pharmaceutical measures, emphasizing their vital role in pandemic containment. This study has far-reaching ramifications that advocate for a paradigm change towards comprehensive pandemic preparation using the lessons learned during COVID-19. Research findings highlight the need for a multifaceted strategy, including diet, lifestyle changes, targeted risk reduction and non-pharmaceutical therapies. This study provides a road map for improving global resilience to potential future pandemics, calling for preventative strategies beyond pharmacological remedies.
