Bakery Products and Cereals: Are They Worth Their Salt?
As the topic of salt reduction is a matter of large debate in the European cereal processing and baking industry, a symposium
devoted to this sector is needed to inform the academic and industrial R&D professionals and to structure the debate. Therefore, Cereals&Europe is planning a two-day symposium on this topic, November 30 and December 1, Papendrecht, the Netherlands. For further information
please e-mail info@cerealsandeurope.net.

Cereal Chemistry Editor's Pick
An automated single kernel near-infrared (NIR) sorting system was used to separate single wheat (Triticum
aestivum L.) kernels with amylose-free (waxy) starch from reduced-amylose (partial waxy) or wild-type wheat kernels. The results demonstrate that automated single kernel NIR technology can be used to select waxy kernels from segregating breeding lines or to purify advanced breeding lines for the low-amylose kernel trait. Read more in this month’s
Editor’s Pick.
Two New Presentations Added to Cereal Science Knowledge Database
Recent additions to the
Cereal Science
Knowledge Database include two presentations from Jan Delcour —“Amylolytic
enzymes and bread firming” and “Wheat constituents and how they impact
bread quality.” Presentations have also been grouped according to scientific initiative, allowing you to easily access information on what you looking for. This library of multi-media netcasts on a variety of grain science topics is available for AACC
International members only through an online
subscription.
