“…Remarkably, the swelling volume decreases with all the products stored in the three bags after 6 months of storage. The broken cowpea swells more than the other products, which confirms the statement "Cereal flours swell less than flours from legumes" [24,34,35]. Indeed, this volume is comparable to that obtained from commercial flour reported by Soro et al [6].…”

Cereals and legumes constitute the staple foods in both urban and rural areas, and the main cereals and legume products in the Sahel region are millet, sorghum, maize, and cowpea. The small-scale processors of those products are facing storage and good packaging challenges. Triple hermetic bag technology is effective for the conservation of many stored grains against insect spoilage in Africa and around the world. This study aimed to examine the performance of the high-density polyethylene Purdue Improved Cowpea Storage (PICS) bags (HDPE, 80 microns thick) for the preservation of processed cereals (broken corn, millet pellet, and sorghum dagué) and legume (broken cowpea) products against insects of storage. In addition, the impact of this technology on the physical and functional parameters of the processed products (moisture content, pH, water-holding capacity, oil-holding capacity, and bulk density) after 6 months of storage was carried out. Rhizopertha dominica was revealed to be the damaging storage pest in the product of millet pellet and broken corn with the average number of live insects of 121.33 and 0.66, respectively, in experimentally designed bags. Significant differences (P < 0.01) and (P < 0.01) are found among the results of functional and physical properties tested on these processed products, using PICS bags versus other storage types of bags. The use of triple hermetic bag technology for storage of processed cereals and legume products has shown protection against damaging insects and preserved their physical and functional properties qualities.

“…[1] Applications of starch depend upon various factors such as its botanical origin, source, amylose/amylopectin ratio, diffraction pattern, and granule size. [2,3] The uses of starches are restricted due to higher retro-gradation tendencies, lesser solubility in cold water, lack of stability under shear, temperature, pH, DOI: 10.1002/star.202100096 and refrigerated conditions. Various modification techniques are utilized to obtain starches with desirable properties and wider applications.…”

Effect of High Pressure Treatment on Structural, Functional, and In‐Vitro Digestibility of Starches from Tubers, Cereals, and Beans

Starch from different sources (wheat, rice, corn, waxy corn, potato, sweet potato, and kidney bean) are subjected to high pressure treatment (HPT) at 300 and 600 MPa and are evaluated for changes in digestibility, structural, thermal, and pasting properties. HPT alters the surface of starch granules and significantly disrupts morphology of granules. Increase in average granule size and decrease in relative crystallinity is observed in high pressure treated starches. However, a significant decrease average granule size is observed at 600 MPa. High pressure treated starches show progressive reduction in both swelling power and solubility with increase in pressure. HPT results in reduction in gelatinization temperatures and enthalpy of gelatinization (𝚫H gel ) while starches except potato starch treated at 600 MPa do not show any endothermic peak indicating complete destruction of crystalline structure. Peak and final viscosity of native starches is higher than those of their counterpart high pressure treated starches except waxy corn starch. Increase in gel firmness and destruction of internal structure of starches especially that of tuber starches treated at high pressures is observed. HPT lowered rapidly digestible starch fraction and increased slowly digestible starch and resistant starch fraction.

“…The seed of the former is always fermented to produce food condiments for flavouring due to its outstanding protein and amino acid composition [5] [6] [7]. Apart from the nutritional values, fermented African locust bean seeds provide dietary fiber, energy, minerals and vitamins [8] [9]. It also improves sensory properties of foods which include the organoleptic characteristics [10] [11].…”

The ubiquitous consumption of junk foods has drastically contributed to the exponential rise in the incidence of obesity. Hence, the present study explores the therapeutic effect of selected indigenous wild bean Sphenostylis stenocarpa (Otili) and condiment fermented Parkia biglobosa (Iru) on obese rats. The rats were fed with a high fat diet for four weeks and the gut microbiota was monitored every other day throughout the period of the experiment. Then, the fecal metabolome was analysed by Gas Chromatography Mass Spectroscopy (GC-MS). Although there was a decrease in the mean weight of rats treated with fermented iru compared with those given Otili, it was not statistically significantly (p ≤ 0.05). The organisms identified from the fecal samples of the fermented Iru groups are Proteus vulgaris, Bacillus cereus and Esherichia coli while those identified from the Otili group include Escherichia coli, and Citrobacter Freundii. However, further study revealed that Otili and Iru had a similar faecal metabolome. Medium chain fatty acids, such as Decanoic acid, Octanoic acid, ethyl tetradecanoate, Hexadecanoic acid, Methyl tetradecanoate, 9-Hexadecanoic acid, Hexadecnoic acid, cis-10-Hepadecanoic acid, are the most common compounds found in this study. This suggests the fact that the associated gut microbiota from breakdown of respective food samples must have actively mediated in their roles of ameliorating the effect of obesity.
