Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Bread is made from just a few ingredients, and its baking is a seemingly simple but very complicated process. Bread and other grain products are extremely important in the human diet. Moreover, to increase its nutritional value, bread is supplemented with minerals or vitamins or the addition of natural ingredients, such as non-bread cereals, cereal products, legume seeds, milk, high-protein products and many other foods that are characterized by a high nutritional value. Additionally, the application of sourdough for production of high-quality bread is very important, and gluten-free bread remains a big challenge for producers.

In the above context, research on grain products is extremely important. This Special Issue will be dedicated to new perspectives on the chemical and functional properties of bread and other cereal foods. Subjects that will be discussed in this Special Issue will focus not only on modern methods and technologies, but also functional and nutritional value. Topics include: innovations of cereal products and processing, fermentation, nutritional value, quality and more.

The ingredients and the preparation methods influence biscuit quality and safety. In Iraq, biscuit imports are increasing every year, but no information is available in the scientific literature on their quality and safety features. This work analyzed three types of biscuits (cookies, crackers, and digestives) sampled in the Basrah markets (Iraq) but produced in Spain, Iran, Turkey, and United Arab Emirates. Nine different brands were considered for each country of origin (n = 36), with three replicates per sample. Moisture, ash, fat, proteins, fiber, water activity, peroxide value, 5-hydroxymethyl-2-furfural (HMF), acrylamide, heavy metals, and microbial load were analyzed. All the nutritional parameters were significantly influenced by the variables “Biscuit type” and “Country”. Cookies showed significantly higher fat content and lower protein content than crackers and digestives, as well as higher peroxide value (which was below the limit set by the FAO/WHO within the World Wood Program). Spanish samples had more fat and fewer proteins than biscuits made in other countries. Very high variability was observed in HMF (from not detected to 62.08 mg/kg) and AA content (reaching 1421.8 μg/kg). Cadmium was always absent, and lead was considerably below the allowed limit. Yeasts and molds were above the limits in five samples. Full article
