Functional product enriched with the microencapsulated extract of cupuassu (Theobroma grandiflorum Schum.) seed by-product

Abstract

This work deals with the application of microencapsulated extract of cupuassu seed by-product to functionally enrich a food multimixture. The methodological bases applied were those of the Official Methods of Analysis of AOAC. Multimixture enrichment with the extract led to 54 and 19% increases in total dietary fiber and total fat contents, to slight decreases in carbohydrate and protein contents, while the total energy value was reduced by 6.4% due to the increase in unsaturated fatty acids content. The enriched multimixture showed a significant antioxidant activity and high levels of Ca 2+ , Fe 2+ , Zn 2+ and ω-9 and ω-6 unsaturated fatty acids. Nutritional and functional qualities of this multimixture, as well as its excellent stability against progressive temperature increases frequently occurring in food preparations, suggest its use as a basic ingredient for food supplementation. The results also indicate excellent technological properties of the multimixture to formulate new food products.

Microencapsulation by Spray Drying and Antioxidant Activity of Phenolic Compounds from Tucuma Coproduct (Astrocaryum vulgare Mart.) Almonds

“…Plant extracts are complex mixtures of organic substances with different boiling points and different thermal stability due to chemical and physicochemical differences among these substances. Thermogravimetry has no specificity, so it can only be inferred that the first event of loss of mass is due to the degradation or boiling of simple molecules of low molecular weight, the second and third events occur due to the “exit” of more complex substances, such as phenolic compounds, and the degradation of high molecular weight proteins, among other substances that may be present in the extract [ 3 , 22 , 26 , 68 ]. Altogether, the crude extract lost 95.60% of its initial mass, leaving at the end of the analysis the value of 4.39% of mass that corresponds to the inorganic portion that made up the crude extract.…”

Unsaturated fatty-acid based HPLC fingerprints in combination with quantitative analysis of multi-components by single-marker for the classification of Rana chensinensis ovum

“…ARA (3.6155 (mg g À1 )) and LA (10.7237 (mg g À1 )) in RCO also play an important role in regulating human life activities. 50 o-9 OA can increase high-density lipoprotein content and lower blood pressure, and the OA (22.9277 (mg g À1 )) is slightly higher than that in some freshwater fish fillets (silver carp, Nile tilapia) in RCO. 5 UFAs as important active substances in RCO are worth quantifying.…”

Functional food ingredients for control of gestational diabetes mellitus: a review

“…Meanwhile, innovation in functional foods presents great opportunities to provide high-quality and affordable dietary supplements to GDM pregnancies to improve their health outcomes. For example, microencapsulation of phytochemicals can be used to protect FFIs against degradation and enhance their solubility, bioavailability (Costa et al, 2020); while development of high-fiber cookies with low glycemic index using pomace is considered as a an environment-friendly way to revalorize by-product of the juice industry (Tagliani et al, 2019;Lin et al, 2017). Notably, regarding to the GDM management with functional foods, there are many questions still to be answered.…”
