The objective of this study was to investigate the effect of soy protein isolate on functional properties and consumer acceptance of gluten-free rice spaghetti (GFRS) made from rice flour. Dry-milled high-amylose (Chai Nat 1) rice flour was premixed with dry-milled waxy (RD 6) rice flour at a ratio of 90:10 (w/w) with the soy protein isolate (SPI) concentration varying between 0, 2.5, 5.0, 7.5, 10.0 %, db. The GFRS formulation was processed using a co-rotating twin-screw extruder up to 95 °C with a screw speed of 220 rpm, 32 % moisture content, and then dried at 40 C. The GFRS samples were analyzed by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and texture parameters. Increasing SPI decreased the starch retrogradation of GFRS, whereas the enthalpy change of the amylose-lipid complex increased and crystallinity decreased. SEM revealed that the surface of GFRS containing SPI was much more porous than that of GFRS without SPI. The cooked GFRS containing 5.0 % SPI showed the best eating quality with increased firmness and tensile strength, and decrease stickiness. The GFRS samples were evaluated on the bases of cooking qualities and sensory evaluation. The results showed that the GFRS containing 5.0 % SPI decrease the cooking time from 17.6 to 13.7 min and cooking loss from 25.4 to 17.0 %. Overall acceptability of cooked GFRS containing 5.0 % SPI was the highest among all GFRS samples.
Effects of M. oleifera leaves and pods extracts on physicochemical properties, free radical scavenging properties, antimicrobial activities and sensory attributes of pork meatballs were evaluated during cold storage at 4°C for 15 days. The preparation of pork meatballs was divided into eight treatments as control, 0.02% butylated hydroxytoluene (BHT), 0.2% leaves and pods aqueous extract, 0.4% leaves and pods aqueous extract, 0.8% leaves and pods aqueous extract. Aqueous leaves extract showed highest level of total phenolic (67.18 mg GAE/g extract) and flavonoid contents (5.60 mg CE/g extract) compared to those observed in aqueous pods extract as 55.17 mg GAE/g extract and 3.54 mg CE/g extract, respectively. The leaves extract had strongest antioxidant activity against DPPH radicals with IC50 49.85 μg/ml while the pods extract exhibited IC50 99.31 μg/ml. According to pork meatballs analysis, meatballs samples with addition of aqueous leaves extract exerted higher antioxidant activities in a concentration-dependent manner that were performed by higher DPPH scavenging activity and lower TBARs values in comparison with aqueous pods extract. Conversely, M.oleifera pods extract showed highest antibacterial activity against all testedfoodborne bacterial strains including Staphylococcus aureus (TISTR 1466),Bacillus cereus (TISTR 678), Escherichia coli (TISTR 780), Salmonellatyphimurium (ATCC 13311) with lowest MIC (1.56 mg/ml) and MBC (3.13 mg/ml)in agreement with the decrease of total microbial counts as compared to controland BHT samples. The meatballs with pods extract possessed higher sensoryattributes scores than those added with the leaves extract. In conclusion, 0.8%pods extracts effectively retarded lipid oxidation as well as decreased microbialgrowth in pork meatballs during cold storage. However, it was point out thatinferior sensory scores were affected by increasing additional the extract in themeatballs. Therefore, the use of Moringa extracts should be carefully applied inthe meatballs for avoidance of lowering consumer acceptance.
Vitamin D insufficiency is widespread in the northern and partly equatorial hemisphere countries. Fortification of vitamin D in commonly consumed vegetable oils can prevent rickets in children, osteoporosis and bone fractures in adults. Avoiding the loss of vitamin D3 fortification in oils during cooking is beneficial for consumer’s health. The aim of this work was to investigate the stability of cholecalciferol (vitamin D3) fortification in canola oil during baking at 80 to 230°C for 10 to 40 min. The natural antioxidants (β-carotene and α-tocopherol) and the synthetic ones (butylated hydroxytoluene (BHT) and tert-butylhydroquinone (TBHQ)) were used to prevent the degradation of vitamin D3. The kinetic degradation of vitamin D3, oxidative status of canola oil and the bioaccessibility in in vitro digestion were assessed. Vitamin D3 was relatively stable at 80 and 130°C for 10 to 40 min. High temperatures of 180 and 230°C caused the highest loss of vitamin D3 being up to 90%. Reaction rate of vitamin D3 degradation ranged from 2.01 to 6.80 × 10–2 sec–1. BHT and TBHQ had the highest antioxidant activity (> 50 %) to decrease the degradation of vitamin D3 at 230°C. The oxidative status (peroxide value, malondialdehyde content) of canola oil was improved after incorporating antioxidant agents. The vitamin D3 bioaccessibility was increased 1.5 fold after in vitro digestion. The consumption of 5 g brownie containing vitamin D3 100 μg/L and antioxidant agents 180 mg/L in 1 mL of canola oil would cover the daily intake.
Rice (Oryza sativa L.) is considered as a gluten-free food. However, using rice flour to prepare cookies has its limitations, such as poor texture and low sensory quality acceptance by consumers. This paper investigates the effects of substituting resistant starch (RS) content with banana flour on the quality of gluten-free rice cookies. Rice cookies were prepared by replacing wheat flour with unripe banana flour at 0% (control), 50%, 60%, 70%, 80% and 100%. The pasting properties of starch, physical properties of the cookies, texture profile, RS content and sensory evaluation were determined. The results indicated that as the degree of banana flour substitution increased, the peak, final and setback viscosities of blended flour also increased. Rice cookies containing unripe banana flour had lower diameters and spread ratio, but higher hardness than the control. RS content of gluten-free rice cookies ranged from 1.90% to 8.50% with the increase in banana flour content, while wheat cookies contained 2.85% of RS. For the sensory evaluation study, the gluten-free rice cookie with 70% unripe banana flour received the highest overall score and was comparable to wheat cookies. Partially replacing rice flour with unripe banana flour has the potential to produce gluten-free rice cookies with high RS content.
