Effect of drying methods on physico-chemical and antioxidant properties of date fibre concentrates

Effects of different drying methods (freeze-, oven- and sun-drying) on physico-chemical properties of date fibre concentrates (DFC) from three potential Tunisian cultivars were investigated. DFC had high contents of dietary fibre (71.01–93.46% dry matter), with high proportions of insoluble dietary fibre. Freeze dried DFC had the highest values of swelling, water holding and oil holding capacities. This drying method gave also the lightest DFC colour. Kentichi fibre produced by freeze-drying had the highest viscosity and the lowest bulkier particles. The present work assessed polyphenol content and antioxidant activity of DFC using 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) method. The highest polyphenol content was found for freeze dried DFC, contrary to radical scavenging activity which was not affected by drying methods. Results suggest that freeze dried DFC had the highest potential to be used as a functional ingredient in food products.     

Effects of rice bran on sensory and physico-chemical properties of emulsified pork meatballs

Four kinds of bran, which are milled from important rice cultivators in Taiwan, have high contents of dietary fiber, fat and protein. The use of rice bran in Kung-wan, an emulsified pork meatball, was investigated. It was found that protein and fat contents, and white index of meatballs decreased as the amount of bran increased. A texture profile analysis (TPA) also indicated the hardness, gumminess and chewiness of the Kung-wan decreased. The sensory scores of taste, texture and overall acceptability of meatballs with less than 10% added bran showed no significant difference from those for meatballs without bran. However, the added amount of 15% enriched meatballs resulted in inferior sensory scores. The bran’s particle size profoundly affected the sensory and physico-chemical properties of the meat products. Meatballs enriched with smaller bran particles possessed higher TPA indices and sensory scores than those added with larger ones. No significant differences in proximate composition, cooking yield, color and sensory quality were found among emulsified meatballs enriched with four different kinds of bran. Conclusively, the suitable amount of rice bran that should be added to emulsified pork meatballs was less than 10% and a smaller particle size would result in better quality.     

Effect of sodium chloride replacement and apple pulp inclusion on the physico-chemical, textural and sensory properties of low fat chicken nuggets

The effect of 40 percent sodium chloride replacement with salt substitute blend (potassium chloride, citric acid, tartaric acid and sucrose) and incorporation of apple pulp, at the levels of 8 (Treatment I), 10 (Treatment II) and 12 (Treatment III) g/100 g of formulation, on the various quality characteristics of low fat chicken nuggets was investigated. Emulsion and product pH values were significantly higher (P < 0.01) for the control when compared to treatments. Salt replacement and apple pulp addition resulted in significantly lower (P < 0.05) emulsion stability and cooking yield. Among low salt and low fat nuggets, the product with 12 g/100 g apple pulp had the highest moisture percent. Protein and ash contents were significantly lower (P < 0.01) in treatment products, whereas moisture protein ratio was higher. Incorporation of apple pulp significantly increased (P < 0.01) dietary fibre content, redness, yellowness and chroma index of the product. Textural properties of the products significantly decreased (P < 0.01) with substitution of common salt and addition of apple pulp. Sensory evaluation showed significant reduction (P < 0.01) in texture and overall acceptability scores of treatment products; however, scores were in the range of very good.

Physicochemical and functional properties of shell eggs following electron beam irradiation

Low dosages of electron beam irradiation (EBI) were applied to shell eggs to examine potential effects on physicochemical and functional properties. Prior to the assessment of physicochemical and functional properties, the antimicrobial efficacy of 2, 3 and 4 kGy dosages of EBI in shell eggs was established by the reduction of inoculated Listeria monocytogenes, Escherichia coli and Salmonella typhimurium to an undetectable level. Physicochemical changes to shell eggs receiving the same dosages of EBI were quantified by Haugh unit, free sulphhydryl groups, yolk index and lipid oxidation. Functional properties were assessed by foaming capacity, emulsifying capacity and gelling properties. A loss of thick albumen and a corresponding increase in free sulphhydryl groups in the albumen were observed after EBI, resulting in a loss of foam volume and gel hardness. Negligible changes in yolk index and lipid oxidation paralleled a retention of emulsifying capacity and gelling properties. EBI proved to be an effective method for controlling microbial growth in shell eggs without adversely affecting physicochemical and functional properties. © 2002 Society of Chemical Industry     

Effect of precooking time and drying temperature on the physico-chemical characteristics and in-vitro carbohydrate digestibility of taro flour

Achu is a thick porridge obtained by cooking and pounding taro (Colocasia esculenta) corms and cormels in a mortar. This study was undertaken with the objective of producing precooked taro flour that can be used in the preparation of achu. Taro slices were precooked to times of 0, 20, 45 and 90 min and dried in an air convection oven at varying temperatures of 50, 60, 70 or 80 °C before milling into flour which was then analysed for its water absorption capacity (WAC), water solubility index, emulsion activity and stability, bulk density, foam capacity and least gelation concentration (LGC). Achu made from the flours were equally analysed for their relative penetrometric index, bulk density and colour. The results showed that precooking induced significant (P<0.05) decrease in foam capacity, penetrometric index, and increase in LGC, emulsion stability and WAC. The drying temperature also induces significant reduction in emulsion capacity and stability, penetrometric index, and increase in LGC, WAC. Long precooking time (>45 min) and drying temperature (>60 °C) induced significant reduction of the in-vitro carbohydrate digestibility of taro achu.

Effect of ultraviolet‐B irradiation on antioxidative properties of aqueous extracts from shiitake (Lentinus edodes) mushrooms

Antioxidant properties of aqueous extracts from Lentinus edodes treated with UV‐B irradiation were examined in vitro systems including DPPH, ABTS and oxygen radical absorbance capacity (ORAC) assays and in riboflavin‐photosensitised oil‐in‐water (O/W) emulsions. Changes in total phenolics, total flavonoids and vitamin C were also analysed. Lentinus edodes receiving 25 kJ m^?2 UV‐B treatment showed high radical scavenging ability based on DPPH and ABTS assays compared with samples with 0, 50 and 75 kJ m^?2, while those with 50 kJ m^?2 had higher antioxidant capacities than other samples from ORAC assays. Samples with 25 kJ m^?2 UV treatment had significantly 7.1% higher total phenolic content, 12.0% higher total flavonoid content and 8.0% higher vitamin C content than UV‐B‐untreated sample (P < 0.05), respectively. In O/W emulsions under riboflavin photosensitisation, 25 and 50 kJ m^?2 UV treatment significantly increased the oxidative stability compared with other samples based on headspace oxygen content and lipid hydroperoxide analyses (P < 0.05). Aqueous extracts of UV‐B‐treated mushrooms possessed enhanced antioxidant properties compared with untreated mushrooms.     

Fat effect on physico-chemical, microbial and textural changes through the manufactured of dry-cured foal sausage Lipolysis, proteolysis and sensory properties

The effect of fat content on chemical traits related to dry-curing process (pH, moisture and water activity), color and textural properties and changes of free fatty acids and amino acids compositions during the processing of foal dry-cured sausages were studied. For this purpose, three batches (20 units per batch) of dry fermented sausages with different pork back fat content (5%, 10% and 20%) were manufactured; low fat (LF), medium fat (MF) and high fat (HF), respectively. Samples at 0days (mix before stuffing), and after 7, 14, 28, 42 and 49days of ripening were taken. The fat level affected color and textural parameters at the end of the process, showing dry-cured foal sausage with the higher level of fat, the highest values of luminosity and the least hardness. No significant differences (P>0.05) among batches were detected on total viable counts, lactic acid bacteria and Microccaceae during the process. Regarding lipolysis and lipid oxidation it can be deduced that the increase in the fat level encouraged the production of free fatty acids and 2-thiobarbituric acid reactive substances. At the end of the ripening individual free fatty acids followed this order: oleic, palmitic, linoleic and stearic acid, representing 82-95% of the total free fatty acids. Final level of TBARS index was in the worst case of 1.23mg MDA/kg of sausage. On the contrary, the batch with lesser fat content showed the highest levels of free amino acids at the beginning and at the end of the process, showing final values of 1.6%.     

Effect of amidation on the foaming and physico-chemical properties of bovine serum albumin

Amidation of bovine serum albumin (BSA) was achieved by a water-soluble carbo-diimide, ethyl-3-(3-dimethylaminopropyl) carbodiimide (EDC)-mediated reaction using ammonium chloride as the nucleophile. Partial and substantial amidation of 0.5% (w/v) BSA in 5.5 m ammonium chloride solution with 1 times 10-²mmol EDC over 120 min and 1 times 10^-1mmol EDC over 10 min respectively was achieved on a large scale using diafiltration for rapid termination of the reaction and purification. Residual ammonium chloride otherwise enhanced foaming properties. The amidated proteins were characterized by isoelectric focusing, electrophoresis and hydrophobicity and disulphide- and sulphydryl-group measurements. Compared with native BSA, partially amidated BSA (PA-BSA) produced enhanced foam expansion and foam stability values. This was attributed to minimal denaturation and to the presence of both acidic and basic components (pI range 5.25–7.50) within the single protein. In contrast, substantially amidated BSA (SA-BSA) (pI range 7–9.1) had similar foaming properties to those of the ultrafiltered BSA control which were slightly lower than those of native BSA. However SA-BSA interacted synergistically with native BSA producing enhanced foaming properties particularly at the 1:1 ratio through electrostatic interactions, conformational changes and increased hydrophobicity.     

Effect of production process on the amino acid content of frozen and canned Pleurotus ostreatus mushrooms

The aim of the work was to determine the effects of the freezing and canning processes, followed by a 12-month storage, on the amino acid content of Pleurotus ostreatus mushrooms. The pre-treatment involved blanching, or soaking and blanching, in mushrooms in water or in solutions containing sodium metabisulphite, citric acid, l-ascorbic acid and/or low-methylated pectin. Freezing and canning resulted in significant decreases in the levels of alanine, glutamine, cysteine and tyrosine (6–39%), and, in the case of canned mushrooms arginine, glycine, serine, histidine, methionine and threonine (1–31%). Frozen products obtained from blanched mushrooms had significantly higher levels of 12 out of the 17 amino acids examined (4–28%) whereas, in canned mushrooms, only 5 amino acids showed higher levels (3–20%), than those obtained from soaked and blanched mushrooms. With the exception of samples blanched in water, frozen mushrooms had higher levels than canned mushrooms of all the investigated amino acids. Limiting amino acids were not found in mushrooms.

Effect of electron beam irradiation on the functional properties and antioxidant activity of wheat germ protein hydrolysates

In this paper, the effects of electron beam irradiation (EBI) on wheat germ protein hydrolysates (WGPHs) were investigated. The functional properties of WGPHs were enhanced by EBI, with the emulsifying capacity reaching its maximum value at 10 kGy. Moreover, foaming capacity reached its maximum value at 25 kGy. Additionally, EBI can enhance the antioxidant activity of WGPHs, and a dose-dependent effect was observed. Hydrolysates irradiated at 50 kGy had the greatest antioxidant activity; the DPPH and ABTS⁺ radical scavenging activities increased by 45.77% and 52.52%, respectively, compared to the non-irradiated sample. Additionally, surface hydrophobicity reached its minimum value at 10 kGy. After 10 kGy of irradiation, the fraction of hydrolysates with a molecular weight <1 kDa increased from 88.34% to 90.23%. Irradiation caused the surface morphology to become uneven, and it produced smaller peptides.     

Effect of gamma and electron beam irradiation on the survival of pathogens inoculated into salted, seasoned, and fermented oyster

The objective of this study was to identify the efficacy of gamma and electron beam irradiation of the food-borne pathogens including 3-strain cocktail of Listeria monocytogenes (ATCC 19114, 19115, and 19111), Staphylococcus aureus (ATCC 6538, 25923, and 29213), and Vibrio parahaemolyticus (ATCC 17802, 33844, and 27969) in salted, seasoned, and fermented oyster (oyster Jeotkal, 8% salt), commercially available in the market. Irradiation (0, 0.5, 1, 2, and 5 kGy) significantly reduced the initial microbial level not only immediately after irradiation but also during storage at 10 °C for 4 weeks (P ≤ 0.05). No viable cell was detected at 5 kGy of irradiation at a detection limit of 10¹ CFU/g. Gamma irradiation was more effective than electron beam irradiation, and yielded D₁₀ values of 0.60, 0.71, and 0.29 kGy for L. monocytogenes, S. aureus, and V. parahaemolyticus, and those of electron beam irradiation were 0.69, 0.94, and 0.29 kGy, respectively. V. parahaemolyticus was most sensitive to irradiation and storage among all pathogens tested. Sensory quality was not affected by irradiation treatment. Results suggest that a low dose irradiation can improve the microbial quality and reduce the risk by the food-borne pathogens of oyster Jeotkal, which has limited alternative sterilization methods due to the temperature sensitivity of food products.     

Effect of gamma irradiation on the color properties of synthetic fabrics dyed by arylazo-pyrazolone disperse dyes

Two derivatives of 3-amino-4-arylazo-1-phenylpyrazol-5-one have been used for dyeing un-irradiated and irradiated polyester and nylon fabrics using different absorbed doses of Co-60 gamma irradiation to study the effect of radiation treatment on the color strength of dyed fabrics. The data color report is used for the evaluation of un-irradiated and irradiated dyed polyester and nylon using GretagMacbeth spectrophotometer (CE 7000a) in CIE Lab system. The color strength K/S of the dyed polyester and nylon fabrics was increased by increasing the absorbed dose to 80 kGy. It is found that gamma irradiation has a potential to improve the fastness properties such as light, rubbing, perspiration, and washing.     

Crystal structure of a major seed storage protein, 11S proglobulin, from Amaranthus hypochondriacus: insight into its physico-chemical properties

Amaranth is a crop known for its high quality proteins. 11S Globulin is one of the most abundant and important storage proteins of the amaranth grain. Here, we report the crystal structure of amaranth 11S proglobulin at a final resolution of 2.28 Å. It belonged to the space group P6₃ with cell dimensions a = b = 96.6, c = 75.0 Å. It contains one asymmetric unit consisting of 372 residues and 100 water molecules. Disordered regions in the model approximately correspond to the variable regions of the 11S globulins. The structure has an extended α-helix and β-barrel domains at both N-terminal and C-terminal regions, which are characteristic of the 11S and 7S globulins. The three dimensional structure suggests that its high thermal stability is due to the cumulative effects of many factors and its good emulsifying property depended on the balance between its surface hydrophobicity and hydrophilicity.     

Ensuring the best storage temperature of Egyptian pastrami based on microbiological,physico-chemical and sensory evaluation

Egyptian pastrami is among the most important and widely consumed meat products in Egypt and due to the great defects in its storage as a ready-to-eat products by retailers, distributers or even consumers, the aim of the current research is to assess the effect of storage temperatures on physico-chemical, microbiological, and sensory properties of Egyptian pastrami using autoclaved non-meat ingredients to ensure the best storage temperature of such important food. Four storage temperatures were applied including room temperature during summer (25 °C), room temperature during winter (15 °C), in fridge at 4 °C and in freezer at −18 °C for a period of 60 days using whole unsliced produced pastrami arms. The findings showed that there was no significant effect (P > 0.05) of storage temperatures on the physico-chemical and sensory properties of tested Egyptian pastrami as the four types were highly accepted based on the physico-chemical and sensory evaluation. Meanwhile, there was noticeable effect of storage temperatures on the microbiological properties of the four manufactured types of pastrami, as the samples stored at −18 °C or at 4 °C for 60 days had the lowest microbial loads and was the best from microbiological aspect.
