This document discusses different cereal crops including rice, corn, wheat, and oats. It provides details on the classification, structure, production, and cooking methods of each cereal. It also discusses some safety issues with cereals like aflatoxin contamination from improper drying and storage, wheat allergies involving immune responses to wheat proteins, and gluten intolerance which is an immune reaction to gluten that damages the small intestine.

RICE, CORN OTHER
CEREALS Rice •Classified in the genus Oryza and species sativa
•3 subspecies of rice cultivated: indica, japonica
and javanica
•Classified as waxy/glutinous/malagkit or non-
waxy or ordinary rice. STRUCTURE OF RICE •Drying- to avoid mold growth that may set in.
•Rice Milling- first passes through a shaker to
remove dirt and other foreign matters. Then goes to dehulling machine where the hulls are removed. Rice varieties Rice Cookery •Steaming- washed rice is half filled inside the tetrahedron made by weaving strips of coconut fronds, which is then steamed to cook.
•Fried rice- not really fried but sautéed. Garlic
and salt is the standard seasoning. Suman Puto CORN •Also known as Maize
•Ranks with wheat and rice as one of the world’s
chief grain crop
•More starch is produced from maize than any
other crop. Corn production •50% - USA, 25% - China, 10% - Brazil & Mexico, 22% - ASEAN •Consuming provinces are Cebu, Bohol and Siquijor •60% goes to food and the balance of 40% goes to animal feed. Structure of Corn Corn Varieties Market forms Corn cookery •Boiling, Steaming- either be boiled or steamed. This kind of cooking are the waxy variety and the yellow sweet corn variety. •Tamales- corn meal dough is prepared with sweet savory ingredients, wrapped in trimmed corn husks or banana leaves, then steamed. •Binatog, Maja Blanca and Kornicks WHEATS, OATS AND OTHER CEREALS Wheat •Produced by repeated hybridization of Triticum spp with Aegilops spp until eventually the bread wheat was developed.
•second oldest cultivated cereal
Structure of Wheat Grain •Bulgur- the coarsely ground product derived from the whole wheat kernel after removal of the bran, steaming and drying.
•Cracked Wheat- similar to bulgur except that it is
not steamed, before cracking into coarse, medium of fine particles •Wheat Germ- used as a dietary supplement because of it high nutritional value, but the oil content makes it susceptible to rancidity.
•Oats- are widely known for their high β-glucan
content. Cereal Safety •Aflatoxin- toxic metabolites of Aspergillus paraciticus and Aspergillus flavus.
-When not properly dried and stored are
susceptible to mold contamination and subsequent aflatoxin development. •Wheat Allergy- refers specifically to adverse reactions involving immunoglobulin E (IgE) antibodies to one or more protein fractions of wheat, including albumin, globulin, gliadin and glutenin.
-allergic reactions maybe caused by ingestion wheat
containing food or inhalation of flour containing wheat. •Gluten Intolerance or Gluten Entoropathy or Celiac Disease- hereditary disorder of the immune system in which eating gluten leads to damage of the mucosa of the small intestine.
