Advanced plant breeding and food manufacturing for healthier bread

该项目旨在通过在小麦到面包供应链的几个环节上有针对性地操纵植物源性植物营养素，生产出含有大量生物可利用铁的面包。该项目预计将为开发更健康的面包和满足消费者对增值食品的需求创造新的知识。预期的结果是新的植物育种和食品制造技术，提高小麦谷物和面包制作产品的营养成分，从而产生更高价值的农产品和面包。该项目将使澳大利亚47亿美元的面包市场中的面包零售商和作物种植者受益，并减少面包生产对环境的影响。

This project aims to generate bread containing high amounts of biologically available iron through targeted manipulation of plant-derived phytonutrients at several points along the wheat-to-bread supply chain. The project expects to generate new knowledge for developing healthier bread and address consumer demands for value-added food products. Anticipated outcomes are novel plant breeding and food manufacturing techniques that enhance the nutritional composition of wheat grain and bread making products, resulting in higher-value agricultural commodities and breads. The project should benefit bread retailers and crop growers involved in Australia’s $4.7 billion bread market and reduce the environmental impacts of bread production.
