Overlooking the importance of subconscious in creating consumers’ behavior, the understanding of the "language" in which color speaks to us can not be neglected in carrying out marketing activities. Speaking the language of the subconscious can be one of the most powerful marketing tools ever created by the human being. We intend in this study to identify the most important elements which characterize the use of color in marketing.

In this respect, were analysed 19 samples of flour obtained from Romanian wheat, determining the protein content, wet gluten content and gluten index. At the same time were carried out baking tests corresponding to the 19 loaves of bread and were determined the parameters volume and the height / diameter ratio (H /D). The results showed that the best predictor for the bread quality parameters: volume and H / D ratio, is the gluten fraction of the gluten index parameter which remains on the sieve (highly significant positive correlation r = 0.79***, respectively r = 0.73***). Gluten index parameter correlates insignificantly with bread volume (r = 0.18) and significantly with the height / diameter ratio (0.51*). In conclusion, the parameter Gluten index itself, is not relevant for the baking qualities of flour; these quality parameters could be better predicted by remaining fraction of gluten on the sieve.

The products resulting from the two antagonistic metabolic processes (anabolism and catabolism) are continuously introduced or eliminated in blood, because blood maintains the connection between different organs and tissues and between different cells and digestive organs. As a consequence, we may consider that the entire composition of blood deviations from normal (deviations that surpass sanguine homeostasis), are significantly correlated with body pathology. Moreover, blood is one of the most accessible tissues in the human body, and it can be collected and analyzed without harming the patient.

Our results show that Romanian wheat crops have been characterized by high values for the variation coefficients, associated with the quality parameters which describe the seed enzymatic activity (gluten deformation and falling number). The most constant quality parameters of Romanian wheat are Hectolitric Weight (Test Weight), Moisture and Protein Content. The most different crops from a qualitative point of view are those obtained in 2002 and 2005, which were years characterized by completely different climatic conditions. The medium (multiannual) mean coefficient for establishing the relationship between the protein content and the wet gluten was 0.750 for Romanian wheat, value corresponding to a medium correlation coefficient of 0.866.

Some theoretical aspects of this method are presented, in order to describe the influence of two factors upon one character of a statistical population with normal distribution. The previous defined concepts were applied for solving a problem, aiming to establish the effect of the saturated fats concentrations and of the of manganese ions concentration in the food ration on cholesterol levels.
