Individual first place citations his masters degree andin 1924, bandstedt and Blish made ex tensive surveys of the baking properties or Nebraska wheat. The studies showed that the wheat wasn't at fault but instead the inadequate baking test meth ods used by the industry. SANDSTEDT'S recent work has been in the field of starch. He has used motion pictures taken through a microscope to show the gelatinization of starch. The army, as well the the in dustry, wanted to know what makes bread stale. The baking industry currently estimated that we throw away about three per cent of all bread baked because of staleness. His studies and those of other cereal chemists lead Sandstedt to believe that staling is caused by changes in wheat starch. Starch composed about 75 per cent of the flour that goes into bread. HE HAS teamed with other researchers to add contributions to the milling and baking in dustry. He devised methods which the industry needed in order to improve bread-making. Sandstedt and his associates studied the maltose value of bread and developed a method of determining the value which is still being used today. He also gave the industry a guide for testing the amount of gas created by rising bread as well as other analytical methods widely used by cereal chemists. ANOTHER MAJOR step to ward improving bread came as the result of Sandstedt and his associates' work in isolating the mam constitutents oi flour. Sandstedt attended Ag Col lege and earned both his bache lor's and master's degrees there He has been active in many groups concerned with the mill' ing and baking industry and served as president of the American Association of Cereal Chemists in 1947-48. Sandstedt has published nearly 100 articles in connection with his research work during the past 29 years. yn.. ,.
