Oilcakes from the oilseed industry are rich in dietary fibre and protein by-products. We assessed the impact of wheat flour replacement with raspberry and strawberry oilcakes on the proximate composition of bread, colour, texture and water behaviour. The substitution influenced the ash, fat and protein content causing an increase in the content of each of the analysed macronutrients. The crumb colour components (CIE L*a*b*) were shifted toward red while the saturation of yellow decreased. Texture analysis showed that the hardness and chewiness of crumb with oilcakes increased as well as springiness decreased. It was found that flour substitution with oilcakes limited significantly water transport and also influenced the molecular dynamics of water in the bread crumb. 1 H NMR measurement results of relaxation times demonstrated that the free water in relation to the bound water in the examined systems depended on the amount of the flour replaced by the oilcake, as well as on the botanical origin of the oilcakes.
Significant amounts of minerals, vitamins, carotenoids and other bioactive substances, as well as documented healthpromoting activity, make pumpkin flour (PF) an interesting food additive. In this article, the influence of PF addition (2% and 4%) on quality, acoustic and textural properties, colour, potential renal acid load (PRAL) and consumer acceptance of extruded corn snacks was evaluated. The results showed that PF addition can be used for production of sensorily attractive extrudates with lowered acidity. However, changes in the general characteristics of extrudates were observed. The expansion ratio and water solubility index decreased, while the bulk density and water absorption index increased. Changes of colour were observed as well. PF addition resulted in significantly decreased hardness and breaking force index. Moreover, the acoustic properties (total loudness, crackliness, crispness and crunchiness) of the extrudates produced with PF were different from the control. The total loudness, crackliness, crispness as well as crunchiness in extrudates enriched with PF significantly decreased (p \ 0.005) with increasing percentage of PF in the product. Nevertheless, the results of the consumer study indicated that the addition of PF improved the taste and appearance of extrudates, thus increasing the overall acceptability of the final product.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
