“SRW had the highest mold count (log10 3.06 cfu/g) and DUR the lowest (log10 2.85 cfu/g). SPG had the highest yeast count (log10 2.27 cfu/g) and SRW the lowest (log10 2.07 cfu/g). Highest APCs were found in DUR (log10 4.24 cfu/g), whereas the lowest were in SRW (log10 3.83 cfu/g). Of the samples tested, 12.8% were E. coli positive and 1.3% were Salmonella positive”
“From the data, 95% confidence limits of 5,700 cfu/g for mold, 110,000 cfu/g for APC, and 150 MPN/g for coliforms were determined for all wheat flours”
rice, wheat, peanuts→ produced →low counts of TVCs, coliforms, yeast, and mould
“Generally, rice, wheat and peanuts produced low counts whereas other nuts, gram flour and spices produced much higher counts.”
Sourdough wheat bread (SDB)→ reaches mold growth →when the population of yeasts/molds reaches approximately 4 log cfu/g
“Mold growth was apparent when the population of yeasts/molds reached approximately 4 log cfu/g”
Cooking wheat products→ is the best preventative measure against →foodborne illness from wheat
“Cooking wheat products is the best preventative measure against foodborne illness from wheat.”
Raw wheat→ contains →Salmonella and E. coli
prevalence: [object Object]
“Of wheat berries sampled, 0.44% were positive for E. coli and 1.23% were positive for Salmonella.”

“Spelt differs from wheat in that it has a higher protein content (15.6% for spelt, 14.9% for wheat), higher lipid content (2.5% and 2.1%, respectively), lower insoluble fiber content (9.3% and 11.2%, respectively) and lower total fiber content (10.9% and 14.9%, respectively)”
