Abstract:Lentils are sustainable sources of bioencapsulated macronutrients, meaning physical barriers hinder the permeation of digestive enzymes into cotyledon cells, slowing down macronutrient digestion. While lentils are typically consumed as cooked seeds, insights into the effect of cooking time on microstructural and related digestive properties are lacking. Therefore, the effect of cooking time (15, 30, or 60 min) on in vitro amylolysis and proteolysis kinetics of lentil seeds (CL) and an important microstructural… Show more
“…While this implies that exact digestion extents quantified based on DNS analysis should be interpreted cautiously and different starch metabolites can be better quantified using e.g., chromatographic methods, 61 the DNS method does give valuable insight into amylolysis trends and can allow the comparison of overall digestion trends. 32 To conclude, the incorporation of saliva and the applied digestion model (healthy versus older adult) did significantly affect gastric and subsequent small intestinal kinetics of amylolysis, though similar final (small intestinal) levels were obtained. For both considered food products, gastric digestion at higher pH levels (older adult conditions) lead to a higher degree of amylolysis by the end of gastric digestion.…”

“…PEF treatments have also been shown to aid the inactivation of pectinmethylesterase in tomato juice with significant viscosity enhancement and retaining/improving health‐related compounds and antioxidant capacity in tomato juices (Jayathunge et al., 2019; Odriozola‐Serrano et al., 2016). Cooking times of lentil seeds have been shown to have distinct effects on their microstructure and digestibility (Duijsens et al., 2023), and cycloartenyl ferulate was identified as the predominant compound in brown rice with potential against oxidative stress‐induced cytotoxicity (Wu et al., 2023). PEF peeling (2 kJ/kg), replacing conventional lye or steam peeling, is another example for resource conservation via appropriate technologies.…”
Humans need food processing assuring food safety, quality, and functionality to sustain their life. The ongoing debates regarding food processing require rational and scientific data about food processing and processed foods. This study deals with the importance, origins, and history of processing, defining processes and discussing existing food classification systems and provides recommendations for future food process development. Descriptions and comparisons of technologies for food preservation, their resource efficiency, and beneficial aspects in relation to traditional processing are summarized. Possibilities for pretreatments or combination application and related potentials are provided. A consumer‐oriented paradigm change is presented using the potential of resilient technologies for food product improvements rather than the traditional adaptation of raw materials to existing processes. Means for food science and technology research toward dietary changes by transparent, gentle, and resource‐efficient processes for consumers food preference, acceptance, and needs are provided.
This study explores the impact of co-ingesting cereals and legumes on starch and protein during simulated infant in vitro digestion. Various legumes (chickpeas, lentils, peas) were added to cereals (durum wheat, brown rice, white maize), and their effects on starch and protein hydrolysis were analyzed. Substituting 50% of cereal with legumes increased proteins, minerals, and dietary ber. Infant food with legumes exhibited smoother pasting properties. Legumes in cereal purées led to varying starch hydrolysis trends, with the lowest values in durum wheat with chickpea and all cereal blends with peas. Resistant starch levels exceeding 50% were found in infant food samples. Digested protein hydrolysis increased with legumes in durum wheat, except for peas. Brown rice mixtures decreased signi cantly compared to the control with chickpeas (61%) and peas (42%), while lentil blends increased by 46%. Legumes generally did not signi cantly affect starch bioavailability, even with α-amylase inhibitors. Lentil-cereal purées could enhance infant food nutritional value.
