挤压加工对苦荞粉理化性质的影响

为了阐明挤压加工技术对苦荞粉理化性质的影响,分别研究了不同挤压温度、物料水分和螺杆转速对挤压苦荞粉的吸水性指数、水溶性指数、膨胀势、糊化及凝胶特性的影响规律。结果表明:与未挤压苦荞粉相比,经挤压改性后的苦荞粉在30℃水浴时有更好的吸水性和水溶性;在100℃水浴时的水溶性增大,吸水性减小;膨胀势、糊化特征值及凝胶特征值均明显升高。随挤压温度升高,挤压苦荞粉的峰值粘度、衰减值增大,谷值粘度、回生值降低,制成的凝胶品质更好;随物料水分升高,吸水性指数、膨胀势、各糊化特征值显著增大,水溶性指数明显降低,低物料水分形成的凝胶品质较好;随螺杆转速升高,水溶性指数增大,吸水性指数和峰值粘度、谷值粘度、衰减值稍降低,膨胀势先增大后减小,转速越高的苦荞粉的凝胶品质越好。综合而言,物料水分变化对挤压苦荞粉的各理化性质影响最大。吸水性指数和水溶性指数与糊化特性、凝胶特性都有显著相关性(P0.05);膨胀势与糊化特性极显著正相关(P0.01),与凝胶特性没有显著相关性。     

Effect of Different Extrusion Treatments and Particle Size Distribution on the Physicochemical Properties of Rice Flour

Rice flour is an interesting alternative for developing gluten free products, but its features do not always meet the process requirements. The objective of this study was to modify the functional properties of rice flour by combining extrusion and size fractionation. Different extrusion conditions (barrel temperature, feed moisture content and feed rate) were applied to vary the severity of the treatment on the flour constituents. Extrusion and mechanical fractionation of the rice flours modified their behavior affecting hydration, thermal and pasting features, besides their susceptibility to enzymatic hydrolysis. Specifically, onset and peak temperature increased and gelatinization enthalpy decreased when increasing barrel temperature of the extrusion. Fine flours with stronger extrusion (high temperature barrel) showed the highest susceptibility to enzymatic hydrolysis. Overall, the combination of both physical treatments maybe an attractive alternative for obtaining clean label rice flours with modified features.     

Pasting,Thermal, Hydration,and Functional Properties of Annealed and Heat-Moisture Treated Starch of Sword Bean (Canavalia gladiata)

The effects of annealing (ANN) and heat-moisture treatments (HMT) on the physicochemical and functional properties of Sword bean starches were investigated. The pasting properties differ significantly among the starches, with peak viscosity ranging from 399.17 RVU to 438.33 RVU; however, all the starches exhibited ‘Type C’ class with restricted swelling. The HMT starches had the highest gelatinization temperature, while change in enthalpy of gelatinization, ΔH_gel of the native starch, was higher (13.82 J/g) than that of the modified starches (1.39–6.74 J/g). The solubility and swelling power of all the starches increased as the temperature increased. The oil and water absorption capacity of the starches ranges between 3.24–3.91 g/g and 2.42–3.35 g/g, respectively. HMT (at 25 and 30% moisture level) changes the X-ray diffraction pattern of the starch from Type ‘B’ to Type ‘C’. The Scanning electron micrograph results revealed the starch granules with smooth ellipsoids and indentation in their centre, hydrothermal modification showed little effect on the morphology and size of the granules. Hydrothermal modification improved the physicochemical and functional properties of the starch without destroying the granule of the starch.

Physicochemical and functional properties of whole legume flour

The physicochemical, functional and pasting properties of whole flours from pinto bean, lima bean, red kidney bean, black bean, navy bean, small red bean, black eye bean, mung bean, lentil and chickpea were investigated. Significant differences in physicochemical characteristics and functional properties were observed (P < 0.05). Bulk densities, water absorption indices, water solubility indices, oil absorption capacities, emulsion activities, and emulsion stabilities ranged from 0.543 g/mL to 0.816 g/mL, 4.09 g/g to 6.13 g/g, 19.44 g/100 g to 29.14 g/100 g, 0.93 g/g to 1.38 g/g, 61.14%–92.20%, and 84.15%–96.90%, respectively. Phaseolus legume flour exhibited higher water absorption capacity, oil absorption capacity, emulsion activity, and emulsion stability compared with other kinds of legume flour. Pasting properties were significantly different (P < 0.05). Pasting temperatures and the peak, final, and setback viscosities of the flours ranged from 73.2 °C to 83.0 °C, 96.2 RVU to 216.8 RVU, 118.5 RVU to 243.8 RVU, and 28.3 RVU to 103.2 RVU, respectively.

Comparative Study on Functional,Rheological, Thermal,and Morphological Properties of Native and Modified Cereal Flours

Effect of extrusion on the functional, rheological, thermal, and morphological properties of the modified cereal flours from different cereals was assessed. Rice flour, wheat flour, and flour, in combination (rice: wheat, 50:50) were passed through twin screw extruder to obtain modified cereal flours at variable conditions (barrel temperature: 175 and 190°C, feed moisture: 14 and 16% and screw speed: 500 rpm). Functional properties (water absorption index, water solubility index, swelling index, and viscosity) improved in modified cereal flours as compared to the unmodified flours. Modified flours showed lower paste viscosity as compared to unmodified flours, which was a desirable property for modified flours to be utilized as a functionality ingredient in food products. Processed flours recorded higher onset (T_o), peak (T_p), and endset (T_e) temperature and showed higher enthalpy change (?H) than the raw cereal flours. Degree of gelatinization was higher in flours processed at higher barrel temperature and feed moisture. The morphological pattern of modified flours was determined by scanning electron microscopy. The starch surface of cereal flours (modified and unmodified) differed from each other with respect to their morphological pattern.     

Development of a bulgur‐like product using extrusion cooking

In this study we (1) developed a new bulgur‐like foodstuff using a durum wheat cultivar and an extrusion technique, (2) investigated the physicochemical properties of the extrudates produced and (3) sensorially evaluated the end‐product after cooking. Durum wheat was processed in a laboratory‐scale co‐rotating twin‐screw extruder with different levels of moisture content of the feed (367, 417 and 455 g kg^?1), screw speed (150 and 200 rpm) and feed rate (2.4 and 2.9 kg h^?1) to develop the bulgur‐like product. The effects of extrusion conditions on system variables (die pressure and specific mechanical energy (SME)), physical properties (die swell and bulk density), pasting properties (peak, trough and final viscosities) and cooking and sensory properties of the bulgur‐like products were determined. The results indicated that increased feed moisture content resulted in significant decreases in the die pressure and SME values of the extruded durum wheat products. As the moisture content and screw speed increased, the changes in die swell values were not significant. The lowest die swell and highest bulk density values were obtained at the highest feed moisture content. The extrusion variables also affected the pasting properties of the extrudates. Significant increases in each of the pasting properties occurred when the moisture content of the feed was increased. Some of the sensory properties (bulkiness, firmness, stickiness and taste–aroma) improved significantly as the feed moisture content increased, indicating better quality. Increased feed moisture content significantly improved cooking quality as determined by a decrease in colorimetric test results. Extrusion seems to be promising for the production of dry, relatively inexpensive bulgur‐like products with acceptable sensory properties. © 2003 Society of Chemical Industry     

Physicochemical characteristics of starches and flours from cassava varieties having different cooked root textures

Starches and flours from 12 cassava varieties having differences in cooked root texture - mealy, firm and mealy & firm - were investigated, with a particular focus on aspects of physicochemical characteristics. It was found that chemical composition (protein, lipid, fiber, ash), pasting properties, firmness of gel, thermal properties, morphology and granular size distribution and crystalline pattern of starches from the 12 varieties were not significantly different. On the contrary, cassava flours which consisted of both starch and non-starch components exhibited wider variations in these properties, especially pasting properties and firmness of gel, than the starches. All flour samples had lower paste viscosities than their corresponding starches. Pasting temperatures of flours were in a range of 70-74 ^°C, which was higher than those of starches (67-70 ^°C). Fluctuation in the values of pasting parameters of flours among the varieties was associated with the variations in the chemical composition and α-amylase activity, i.e. paste viscosity and setback were positively correlated to starch content and negatively correlated to α-amylase activity, while protein, lipid and fiber did not show correlation with pasting parameters. Cassava starches from all varieties, except the F-18 variety, had higher firmness of gels than their corresponding flours. Firmness values (except the F-18 variety) of starches were in a range of 149-207 g, whereas those of flours were 75-163 g. Firmness of flour gels was negatively correlated to lipid and fiber content, while strong positive correlation was found with the amylase activity.     

Physicochemical,nutritional and functional properties of marama bean flour

Marama bean is a protein-rich, underutilised, drought-tolerant legume in sub-Saharan Africa. Its utilisation may be increased through value addition into protein-rich flours. Defatted flour from unheated and dry-heated (150 °C/20 min) whole marama beans (UMF and HMF) were analysed for physicochemical and protein-based functional properties. Heating significantly increased in vitro protein digestibility of marama bean flour. Of functional importance are the high levels of tyrosine present in marama bean flours. Heating significantly reduced protein solubility and emulsifying capacity of marama bean flours whilst water absorption capacity was improved. Foaming capacity was not affected by heating. UMF could be useful in food systems requiring high emulsifying capacity, but would not be suitable for applications requiring high water absorption and foaming capacity. Due to its high protein contents, marama bean flour could be used to increase the protein quality of cereal-based foods to help alleviate protein-energy nutrition in the region.     

Effect of ripening on some physicochemical properties of cooking banana (Musa ABB Cardaba) pulp and flour

Cardaba banana (Musa ABB) pulp and flours were evaluated for changes in some physicochemical properties during ripening. Compositional changes in the pulp showed that ripening significantly (P < 0.05) increased the crude protein (2.48–9.88%), fat (1.33–4.67%), crude fibre (0.80–0.93%), ash (1.66–2.32%) and Vitamin C (12.60–24.28%), while carbohydrate and tannin reduced. Mineral composition varied, following this trend: K > Mg > P > Na > Zn. pH and ‘whiteness’ reduced, while yield, softness index and pulp/peel ratio increased significantly (P < 0.05). Pasting and functional properties of the flours were lowered, however, ripening enhanced better pasting properties. Flours from stages 1–7 could be used as binders, emulsifiers and thickeners, while flours from stages 5–7 may be useful as aerating agents and in preparation of baby formulas and flours from stages 1–2 may be used in bakery products. This investigation proposes the utilisation of the Cardaba banana flour as an industrial raw material and a good substitute to potato, corn or tapioca starches.     

Effects of protein removal on the physicochemical properties of waxy maize flours

The effects of protein removal on the physicochemical properties of waxy maize flours were investigated. Protein removal caused significant reduction in the P and S contents of starches. Starch granules had a smoother surface and low protein content (<6 g/kg) compared with the flours. Both flours and starches had a typical A‐type X‐ray diffraction pattern, with a crystallinity range of 29.8–32.2% and 27.7–30.6%, respectively. Flours had higher swelling power and solubility, and lower light transmittance than starches. The gelatinization enthalpy and onset temperature of starches were higher compared with those of their counterpart flours. The retrogradation of flours was significantly greater compared with that of starches. Protein removal increased the peak viscosity, trough viscosity, final viscosity, and breakdown, whereas it decreased the setback and pasting temperature. Genotypic differences in those maize were related to the physicochemical characteristics of the flours and starches.     

Effect of different treatments on the microstructure and functional and pasting properties of pigeon pea (Cajanus cajan L.), dolichos bean (Dolichos lablab L.) and jack bean (Canavalia ensiformis) flours from the north‐east Argentina

The effect of germination (G; 5 days), soaking‐cooking (SC; 6 h–20 min, 6 h–40 min, 6 h–60 min) and microwave (M; 50%, 70%, 100%) treatments on pigeon pea (PP), dolichos bean (DB) and jack bean (JB) seeds was studied. Microstructure of seeds and functional (protein solubility, water‐holding capacity, oil‐holding capacity, emulsion stability) and pasting properties of flours were determined. Germination and microwave treatments modified the protein matrix of cotyledon cells preserving the shape of the starch granule, whereas the SC treatment (6 h–60 min) affected both. The soaking‐cooking is the most influential treatment on the functional properties of PP, DB and JB flours, as increased water absorption capacity (73–96%), decreased protein solubility (>80%) and the tendency to retrogradation of amylose (69–85%) also improved emulsion stability.     

Gelation,thermal and pasting properties of pigeon pea (Cajanus cajan L.), dolichos bean (Dolichos lablab L.) and jack bean (Canavalia ensiformis) flours

This study evaluated the rheological, thermal and pasting properties of pigeon pea (PP), dolichos bean (DB) and jack bean (JB) legume flours and gels. Starch and protein contents were also measured and its molecular weight distribution was determined by electrophoresis. PP and DB showed the highest viscosities while JB had the highest pasting temperature. The minimum flour concentrations for gel formation were estimated at 6–8% for DB and PP and 10% for JB. Above these concentrations all flour suspensions heated to 95 °C led to gels with a solid-like behavior. Differential scanning calorimetry showed two endothermic peaks in all flours at 80–89 °C and 96–100 °C. Avrami model was successfully fitted to the hardening kinetics of PP and DB gels stored at 4 °C. The half-life times were 22 and 6 h for PP and DB respectively. PP and DB flours were able to form self-supporting gels and could be applied in the formulation of gel-like foods.     

Physical,functional and pasting properties of different maize (Zea mays) cultivars as modified by an increase in γ‐irradiation doses

Physical, functional and pasting properties of six maize (Zea mays) cultivars as modified by an increase in γ‐irradiation doses were investigated. From the L*, a* and b* measured, deltachroma, colour intensity and hue angle were calculated. Functional and physicochemical properties of maize flours were determined using standard methods and Rapid Visco Analyser, respectively. Often, the effect of γ‐irradiation on L*, a* and b* values within each cultivar was almost never significant but pronounced between the yellow and white cultivars. Generally, deltachroma, colour intensity and hue angle decreased with increased γ‐irradiation dose. Mean seed bulk density and 100 kernel weight varied from 0.73–0.77 g cm^?3 and 23.13–35.42 g, respectively. Loose and packed bulk densities, and water (WAC) and oil absorption capacities of the maize flours were not significantly affected by γ‐irradiation. WAC of nonirradiated and γ‐irradiated maize flours ranged from 1.54–1.62 and 1.09–1.70 g g^?1, respectively. Peak, trough, breakdown, final and setback viscosities decreased significantly (P < 0.05) with increased γ‐irradiation dose.     

Effect of extrusion conditions on the physical properties of desi chickpea-barley extrudates and quality attributes of their resulting flours

In this study, response surface methodology (RSM) was used to evaluate the effect of extrusion conditions on physical properties of chickpea:barley extrudates (60:40), and the resulting protein quality of their flours. Barrel temperature (150–170°C) and moisture content (16–20%) were chosen as independent variables to generate a central composite design. Hardness, expansion index, bulk density, and protein quality were analyzed as responses parameters. Expansion was found to be higher at lower temperatures and higher moisture for the 60:40 chickpea:barley blend; bulk density became reduced with increased moisture; and hardness was found to increase at higher temperatures and lower moistures. The protein quality of their resulting flours was found to be greater at moisture contents higher than 16%. The composition, protein quality, and functional attributes were also examined for raw and precooked flours of chickpea, barley, and their blend at the center point of the RSM design (18% moisture, 160°C). Extrusion also leads to improved water hydration capacities and reduced viscosities for precooked individual and blended flours relative to the raw. Moreover, extrusion also led to improved protein quality in the chickpea and chickpea-barley blend, but not the individual barley flour.

Pasting,thermal, gel texture,resistant starch and colour properties of unripe banana flour from 10 desert banana varieties cultivated in South Africa

Unripe banana flour is a potential commercial ingredient in various food products for increased resistant starch and reduced gluten contents. In the present study, the pasting (rapid visco-analysis), gel texture (penetration test), thermal (differential scanning calorimetry), colour (tri-stimulus colour indices) and the resistant starch properties of unripe banana flour produced from different dessert banana varieties (n?=?10) cultivated in South Africa, were analysed and juxtaposed to wheat and maize flour. The functional properties varied significantly (p?≤?0.05) between banana varieties, and from wheat and maize flours, to various extents. Selected functional property ranges of unripe banana, wheat and maize flours, respectively included; flour colour index (63.16–76.42, 77.34 and 80.96), paste viscosity (405.5–556.6, 124.7 and 115.6 RVU), gelatinization temperature (64.67–71.21, 71.11 and 69.95?°C), gel firmness (7.24–11.44?×?10^??2 N, 3.49?×?10^??2 N and 6.56?×?10^??2 N) and resistant starch content (19.9–47.4, 2.8 and 2.2% w/w). Multivariate analysis (principle component analysis) showed that the unripe banana flours from different varieties were distinguished from each other based on the pasting temperature. The unripe banana flours were distinguished from both wheat and maize flour based on breakdown and peak paste viscosities. The breakdown viscosity was the most positively related measure to the resistant starch content with a linear regression R-squared value of 0.898, indicating a significant role played by granule structure in resistance to enzymatic hydrolysis. The present research demonstrates that selection of appropriate dessert banana variety is important when replacing staple flours (wheat and maize) with unripe dessert banana flour as a functional ingredient.     

Physicochemical Properties of Sweet Potato Flour and Starch as Affected by Blanching and Processing

The effects of blanching on physicochemical properties of flours and starches prepared from two varieties of sweet potatoes (Mun‐Kai and Negro) were studied and compared. The pasting temperature and peak viscosity of starches, respectively, were 74 and 80 °C and 381 and 433 RVU. The pasting temperature (74.0‐94.8 °C) of flours was greater than that of starch, depending on the variety and blanching process. However, the peak viscosity (ca. 103‐120 RVU) of flours was lower than that of the corresponding starches. Partial gelatinization of starch granules was observed as a result of a 1‐min blanching. Composition of starch and flour was found to affect swelling power and solubility. The starch content of starches, flours from unblanched sweet potato and flours from 1‐min blanched sweet potatoes were 97; 66.3 and 74.9; as well as 36.6 and 40.4%, respectively. Amylose content of flours and starches varied from 17.2‐20.8%.     

Characterization of Extruded Blends of Corn and Beans (Phaseolus Vulgaris) Cultivars: Peruano and Black-Querétaro under Different Extrusion Conditions

The effect of extrusion conditions in blends of corn and beans (Phaseolus vulgaris) of cultivars Peruano and black-Querétaro were investigated in this study, as an alternative to obtain snack foods. The type of cultivar and beans percentage, and also the extrusion conditions (moisture and temperature) influenced the physicochemical (color and breaking strength) and the functional (water absorption index, water solubility index, and oil absorption capacity) properties of the extrudates. The microstructures showed the presence of cavities and starch granules gelatinized (melted) and plasticized; while, the x-ray powder diffraction patterns revealed the presence of monohydrate glucose due to starch dextrinization. The results demonstrate that extrudates with good properties can be obtained from blends of corn and beans, under selected extrusion conditions, depending on the bean cultivar.
