Northern Utilization Research

Institute of Baking under a re

Division, suggests two posible ap
pioaches to the problem of stop

vent some of the starch from
crystallizing The other is to use
a heat-stable enzyme or other
agent capable of breaking up the
network of starch crystals as it

Experiments show that the
starch in bread crystallizes as the
bread ages, causng undesirable
firmness of the loaf. As it crystal
lizes, starch loses some of its
ability to hold moisture. Also, as
bread loses moisture, its texture
becomes harsher So far no meth
od has been developed to stop
the formation of starch crystals in
bread.

were baked using varying

Frank Richards
Misses First
Angus Meeting
For the first time in more than
11 years, Frank Richards missed
an official board meeting ol the
American Angus Association, ac
cording to Elliott Brown, prcsi
dent of the national organization.
Richard, executive secretary, is
recovering from a heart attack m
the Missouri Methodist Hospital,
St Joseph, Mo.
His physician, Dr. L H Fuson,
who is an Angus breeder near St.
Joseph, said that Richards is an
excellent patient and should be
out of the hospital in two or
three weeks] Then he’ll have to
“take it easy” for a couple of
months although during this
time he will me able to lesume
various office responsibilities
In the meantime, President
Brown states, “Busienss contin
ues as usaul, bt Angus folks will
miss seeing Mr Richards at some
ol their functions for a few more
weeks ”
Brown pointed out that Angus
business has shown important
gains during the first half of the
1958 fiscal„year. Registrations of
purebred calves numbered 108,-
735 This is a gam of seven per
over the same six month period
in 19 7 Greatest increases were
noted in transfers of registeied
cattle to new owners and new
memberships. Transfers totaled
95,912, a 16 per cent gain, and
junior members reached 298, a
13 per cent upturn compared
with the first half of 1957
The market for registered bulls
and commercial females continu
es strong, unusually so m the
West and South.
