SUMMARY Various additives were examined as possible aids in making bread from sorghum and barley flours. Good rise was achieved with doughs containing 45% solids. Several gums, especially 4000 centipoise methylcellulose, increased gas retention in sorghum bread and improved texture of both sorghum and barley breads. Several starches improved texture and loaf volume of sorghum bread. Glyceryl monostearate (GMS) improved the texture of sorghum bread but caused it to crumble badly. GMS improved softness in barley bread. Shortenings also softened sorghum and barley breads. The effect of several processing variables on sorghum bread was studied along with 2 methods of imparting a sour fermented flavor to sorghum bread.

SUMMARY An oil with a characteristic strawberry aroma was obtained from the condensate from the jam‐making process. Programmed‐temperature capillary gasliquid chromatography (PTCGLC) showed the oil to be a very complex material of more than 150 components. A fast‐scan mass spectrometer was used to analyze the material as it was eluted from the PTCGLC equipment, and some of the more volatile compounds identified are reported.
