SummaryThe viscoelastic properties provide guidelines to help give meaning to the observations on food products, to relate them to the way in which their structures behave, and to predict or modify their properties. This study analyses the incidence of varying the initial fat content of goat milk on the rheological properties of prepared sour cream. Storage (G 0 ) and loss modulus (G″), as well as complex viscosity (g*) and loss factor values (tan d), were determined at different initial fat contents in goat milk (3.75%, 4.00% and 4.25%). The experimental data were adapted to Maxwell model. All the prepared samples of sour cream meet national and international microbiological standards, and the initial fat content of goat milk influenced the viscoelastic behaviour of sour cream. Structures with prevalent elastic (G 0 ) behaviour were found, and the product that was prepared from goat milk with 4.00% fat content showed the highest elastic modules. This sour cream exhibited higher firmness and better adherence when compared to the samples that were obtained from 3.75% and 4.25% fat-content milk. This sample also exhibited the lowest tangent of the phase angle. Sour cream that was prepared from milk with higher fat content (4.00% and 4.25%) exhibited a semi-solid behaviour along the entire temperature range that was studied. On the contrary, rheological properties of sour cream from 3.75% fat-content milk tend to increase at temperatures above 333.15 K. The viscoelastic behaviour of sour cream was successfully explained under Maxwell model, while data from dynamic viscosity (g 0 ) were adapted to Arrhenius model. Microstructure analysis to the sample considered as the best (from milk with 4.00% of initial fat content) showed that the protein network presented a rough, open surface with aggregates and wide spaces.
Valorisation of food processing by-products is a welcome and developing area. The mango processing industry produces 40% to 60% of the fruit as solid waste, in which components of industrial interest, such as pectin, are lost. This study reports on energy-efficient high-intensity ultrasound-assisted extraction (HIUAE) to extract pectin from mango peels. The analysis considered the ripening stage of the fruit (0, 2, and 4), HIUAE frequency (37 kHz and 80 kHz), and extraction time (20 min, 25 min, and 30 min). Extractions of pectin from mango peels with HIUAE have been fairly studied. However, this work differs from those studies in including mango maturity grade as a factor. Pectin extraction yields ranged from 13% to 30%, with no influence ( p > 0.05 ) of time, and the highest yields were obtained at the lowest maturity stage (0) and lowest frequency (37 kHz). This latest condition (37 kHz) also yielded pectin with the highest gel strength, purity, and quality. This work demonstrated that the mango maturity stage influenced pectin extraction yield. Ultrasound-assisted extraction of pectin from mango peels could be an efficient approach toward waste valorisation and extraction of pectin with high yield and good quality attributes for the food industry.
Wheat is one of the most widely used cereals in the world. However, studies consider wheat flour doughs to be of low nutritional quality, as there is now greater public awareness of celiac disease and gluten intolerance. Therefore, consumers are demanding healthier and more varied food products. Consequently, wheat flour is being replaced fully or partially by flours from other sources with higher quality. Hence, the main objective of this work was to report the effect of blending wheat flour with ackee aril flour, until the total replacement of wheat flour, on pasting and dough rheological properties. Five different levels of blending were analyzed: wheat to ackee aril flour mass ratios of 100 : 0, 75 : 25, 50 : 50, 25 : 75, and 0 : 100. Pasting properties (pasting temperature, peak viscosity, ease of cooking, swelling power, final viscosity at 50 °C, and thixotropy) were analyzed; and steady-state shear measurements were used to obtain consistency coefficients ( K ) and flow behavior indexes ( n ) after data was fitted to the Power Law and Herschel-Bulkley models. The gradual addition of the ackee aril flour fraction produced an increase in ash, fat, protein, and fiber content; while water and carbohydrate content showed the opposite behavior in the obtained composite flour. Consequently, the partial or full replacement of wheat flour changed the rheological properties of the produced doughs, as well as the quality of the final product. These changes were mostly related to the protein and carbohydrate content of the ackee aril flour fraction. In general, doughs showed a pseudoplastic behavior with thixotropy whose viscosity decreased as the addition of ackee aril flour was increased. Pasting properties of blends involving 25 %-75 % ackee aril flour demonstrate the feasibility of including these flours in products subjected to high processing temperatures such as canned products or even to produce chips and pasta.
ResumenEl mango Tommy Atkins es una de las variedades más explotadas en la industria y comercialización mundial. Es valorado por su larga vida útil y poca degradación en la manipulación y transporte. El rendimiento de la pulpa es alto, entre 60 y 75% del peso total del fruto, y es utilizada en la industria de refrescos, néctares, compotas y concentrados de pulpas. En este artículo se muestran los resultados del estudio del comportamiento y los parámetros reológicos de la pulpa concentrada de mango (Mangifera indica L.) variedad Tommy Atkins en el rango de temperatura 15-60°C y en el rango de concentración 15-30°Brix. Para esto, fue utilizado un viscosímetro Brookfi eld Modelo DV-II+Pro (R). La pulpa de mango presentó un comportamiento no Newtoniano seudoplástico a todas las temperaturas y concentraciones evaluadas. La relación entre el esfuerzo de corte y la velocidad de cizalla fue modelada por la Ley de Potencia o modelo de Ostwald de Waele. Los modelos de Arrhenius y la ecuación de potencia fueron ajustados adecuadamente a los datos de la viscosidad aparente de la pulpa con respecto a la temperatura y la concentración. Los valores encontrados permitirán mejorar el diseño de equipos de transporte y tratamiento térmico de la pulpa del mango Tommy Atkins.Palabras clave: reología, viscosidad aparente, seudoplástico, índice de consistencia. AbstractTommy Atkins mango is one of the varieties most exploited in the industry and marketing global. It is valued for its shelf life and low degradation in handling and transport. The pulp yield is high, between 60 and 75% of the total weight of the fruit, and it is used in the soft drink industry, nectars, compotes and pulp concentrates. This paper shows the behavior and rheological parameters of concentrated mango pulp to different temperatures and concentrations using a Brookfi eld Modelo DV-II+Pro (R) viscometer. The mango pulp exhibited non-Newtonian pseudoplastic behavior to the temperatures and concentrations studied. The relationship between the shear stress and shear rate was modeled by Power Law or Ostwald de Waele model. Variations in apparent viscosity with respect to temperature and concentration were modeled with the Arrhenius model and power equation, respectively. The results will improve the design of transport equipment and thermal treatment of mango pulp variety Tommy Atkins.Keywords: rheology, apparent viscosity, pseudoplastic, index of consistency. 79Cita: Ortega Quintana EA, Salcedo Galván E, Arrieta Rivero R, Torres Gallo R.
