Effect of Different Thermal and Non-Thermal Processing Methods on Chemical Composition, Quality Indicators and Apparent Nutrient Digestibility of Full-Fat Soybean

Abstract

The aim of this research was to study the effect of thermal and non-thermal processing methods on chemical composition, quality indicators and apparent digestibility of soybean nutrients. For this, four processing methods (unprocessed, extruded, thermal, and gamma radiation) were applied on two soybean varieties (Katol & Caspian). Rations were formulated based on kinds of soybean (processed and unprocessed). The experiment was continued using 600 male Ross broiler chickens during 3 feeding phases (starter, grower, and finisher). Traits were measured and analyzed with the Lsmeans procedure by SAS software. The results showed the interaction effects of soybean varieties and processing methods were significant on the crude fiber, calcium, and phosphorus (p<0.05). The effect of soybean variety was significant on the crude protein, crude fiber, and phosphorus (p<0.05). Also, the effect of processing methods was significant on the dry matter, crude fiber, and phosphorus (p<0.05). The effect of soybean variety, processing methods, and their interaction were significant on urease activity, KOH protein solubility, and Protein dispersibility index (p<0.05). The results of the current study showed that the best soybean variety and the processing method is the Caspian and thermal, respectively.

Investigation into the physiochemical properties of soy protein isolate and concentrate powders from different manufacturers

“…Higher PDI values, especially those approaching 100%, indicate greater protein–water interactions and may be due to a milder treatment during the extraction and purification, and therefore, a low extent of protein denaturation and aggregation (Palić et al ., 2011; Lehmali & Jafari, 2019). In the context of meat analogue processing, a higher PDI indicates better dispersibility and a more uniform distribution of soy protein in the formulation, which allows consistent texture and structure in the final product.…”

Study on the influence of different magnetic and electric field-assisted storage methods on non-thermal effects of food

“…PEF pulsed electrical fields are a non-thermal food storage method that uses short electrical pulses to inactivate microbes and have the least harmful effect on food quality characteristics (Lehmali & Jafari, 2019). The aim of PEF technology is to provide consumers with high-quality food.…”
