Thermal Properties of Restructured Beef Products at Different Isothermal Temperatures

Thermal properties and components of restructured beef products formulated with five binders (0.5–5.0%) were determined after heating to 35, 45, 55, or 65°C. Binders were: isolated soy protein, sodium caseinate, waxy modified corn starch, carrageenan, and oat flour. Water losses were greater when no binders were used until 65°C was attained. Density was influenced by both temperature and binder; specific heat was influenced by temperature; and thermal conductivity and thermal diffusivity were influenced by binder. All thermal properties correlated with water and/or protein contents of restructured beef products.     

Effect of Compositional Variation of Gluten Proteins and Rheological Characteristics of Wheat Flour on the Textural Quality of White Salted Noodles

Protein quality parameters of wheat flour, as well as protein content, showed significant relationship with hardness, cohesiveness, springiness, adhesiveness, chewiness, and gumminess of the cooked noodles. A significant positive correlation (0.54) was observed between glutenins and hardness of noodles. Chewiness of the noodles increased with the protein content, sodium dodecyl sulfate sedimentation volume, dough development time, dough stability, and glutenins. Hardness, springiness, cohesiveness, gumminess, and chewiness of the noodles were negatively affected by gliadin to glutenin ratio. Multiple regression analysis depicted significant relationships of the various noodle quality parameters with wheat flour characteristics. The results revealed that the relative composition of the gliadins and glutenins had a considerable effect on the textural profile of noodles indicating their defining contribution on the noodle quality. The resulting information could be useful in predicting the noodle-quality potential of the varieties.     

INSTRUMENTAL AND SENSORY TEXTURAL PROPERTIES OF FURA

ABSTRACT

A uniaxial compression test and sensory textural analysis was conducted of fura samples made from millet flour. Significant differences (p<0.05) existed among the samples for hardness (the force to compress the sample between molar teeth), cohesiveness (extent to which sample falls apart during chewing) and gumminess (denseness and cohesion persisting during mastication). Correlations between sensory and instrumental tests revealed that a significant relationship exists between modulus of deformability and cohesiveness (r=?0.93, p<0.05); gradient and springiness (r=?0.90, p<0.05); deformation at failure and chewiness (r=0.98, p<0.05); energy per unit mass and gumminess (r=?0.95, p<0.05). A fura quality scale was established based on the peak force; soft and poor quality fura have a peak force of <19 kN; acceptable fura has a peak force of 19–24 kN; a firm and good quality fura, 24–25 kN; very hard and very poor quality fura have a peak force of >25 kN.     

Instrumental Textural Characteristics of Restructured Carrot Cubes

Studies were carried out on the instrumental textural evaluation of restructured carrot cubes. The experiment was conducted by incorporating different levels of alginate, glucono delta lactone (GDL), and calcium salt to the carrot pulp. Investigations showed that as pulp level increased from 0 to 90%, there was a corresponding decrease in failure stress, failure strain, and deformability modulus. Instrumental textural profile analysis (TPA) parameters viz. hardness, springiness, gumminess, cohesiveness, chewiness, and resilience also showed a similar trend. Effect of formulation variables, i.e., alginate, GDL, and calcium salt on hardness (response variable) were evaluated by the application of response surface methodology. All the three ingredients showed a significant (P < 0.05) influence on hardness of carrot gel. Heat treatment of restructured carrot samples resulted in an increased hardness, cohesiveness, gumminess, and chewiness while springiness, cohesiveness, and resilience decreased. The data indicated that the shrinkage during thermal treatment may be responsible for the change in textural attributes. The authors concluded that a thermally stable restructured product with appreciable textural integrity can be obtained from carrot pulp.

Texture and Microstructure of Cassava (Manihot esculenta Crantz) Flour Extrudate

Cassava flour (Manihot esculenta Crantz) was texturized by single-screw extrusion processing. Relationships between texture and micro-structure as a function of extrusion variables were examined. The effect of feed moisture or screw speed was significant (P < 0.01) on all textural parameters except springiness and energy first bite. Hardness, gumminess (P < 0.05) fracturability and cohesiveness (P < 0.01) decreased with increasing temperature. Hardness, fracturability and firmness were lowest at screw speed 520 rpm with feed rate 300g/min, 120–125°C and 11% feed moisture. Scanning electron micrographs showed structural change from a coarse cell mass at high feed moisture to a porous, thin-walled structure with decreased feed moisture.     

Effects of oat fibre and carrageenan on the texture of frankfurters formulated with low and high fat

 The effects of fat level (5, 12 and 30%), carrageenan and oat fibre on the texture of frankfurters were evaluated using mechanical properties and sensory (taste panel) methods. Textural profile analysis (TPA) indicated that fat reduction decreased hardness, adhesiveness, gumminess and chewiness. In contrast, springiness increased when the fat content was reduced from 30% to 5%. No relationships between fat content and either Warner-Bratzler or Kramer shear parameters were found. Carrageenan and oat fibre differed in their effects on TPA values but the latter was more effective at improving texture. Taste panellists did not detect any differences in hardness, springiness or gumminess when fat was reduced from 30% to 5%, although increases in cohesiveness, chewiness, moisture release and lumpiness were observed. Overall acceptability of the texture decreased as the fat level was reduced. Carrageenan and oat fibre improved the acceptability of the 12% fat frankfurters, but neither ingredient offset the detrimental effects on acceptability of the texture when fat was reduced to 5%. The results demonstrate that carrageenan and oat fibre can partially offset some of the textural changes (juiciness, cohesiveness, lumpiness) which occur in low-fat frankfurters when added water replaces fat and the protein level remains constant.

Physicochemical and organoleptic characteristics of seasoned beef patties with added glutinous rice flour

This study was conducted to determine if glutinous rice flour (GRF) could be a functional food additive to potentially replace corn starch (CS), soy protein isolate (SPI) and/or sodium tripolyphosphate (STPP) to improve the physicochemical and organoleptic characteristics of seasoned beef patties. GRF had a lower cook loss among the treatment groups due to an increase in fat and moisture retentions (p<0.05). GRF lowered texture profile values for hardness, gumminess, springiness, and chewiness (p<0.05) of the patties, which are generally beneficial for this product. The beef patties with GRF were juicier and more tender than the control and other treatments (p<0.05). Hedonic scores for juiciness, tenderness and overall acceptability were the highest for the beef patties with 1 and 3% GRFs, suggesting that GRF may be an effective functional ingredient to improve the textural quality of seasoned beef patties.

Texture of Yeast Breads Containing Soy Protein Isolates: Sensory and Objective Evaluation

Three soy protein isolates were substituted on an equal protein basis for soy flour in a yeast bread formula. The consumer texture profile technique was used for sensory evaluation of the breads. A compression cage attached to an Instron was used for objective evaluation of textural characteristics. Panelists noted differences in smoothness, uniformity of cell distribution, chewiness, greasiness and crumbliness among the soy-containing breads. Deviations from the perceived ideal bread were shown for most textural characteristics. Soy isolates influenced volume, specific volume, hardness, springiness, gumminess and chewiness of the breads.     

Studies on cake quality made of wheat–chickpea flour blends

Legume flours, due to their amino acid composition and fibre content are ideal ingredients for improving the nutritional value of bread and bakery products. In this study, the influence of the total or partial replacement of wheat flour by chickpea flour on the quality characteristics of two kinds of cake was analyzed. The effects of the chickpea variety and the kind of flour used (white or whole) were also considered. Volume, symmetry, chroma, and crust and crumb L^* diminished when increasing the amount of chickpea flour. The replacement of wheat flour by chickpea flour also induced an increase in the initial firmness but cohesiveness and resilience diminished, increasing the tendency to hardening. Among the studied varieties, Pedrosillano and Sinaloa produced cakes with the highest volume. Those varieties also gave layer cakes with the lowest firmness, gumminess and chewiness. White flours produced sponge cakes with higher volume and symmetry than whole flours. No significant differences, however, were observed in layer cakes between white and whole flours. In both layer and sponge cakes, white flour produced cakes with lower firmness, gumminess and chewiness than whole flours.

Effects of ohmic thawing on histological and textural properties of beef cuts

The changes in the histology and the texture of beef cuts during ohmic thawing were compared with those during conventional thawing method. The beef cut samples were thawed from −18 to 10 °C by applying different voltage gradients (10, 20 and 30 V/cm) during ohmic treatment whereas conventional thawing was applied at constant temperature (25 °C, 95% RH) in the controlled incubator. There were significant differences between the effects of thawing methods in terms of hardness, chewiness, gumminess of beef cut samples (p < 0.05). The sample treated ohmically at 30 V/cm voltage gradient was significantly different from the other thawed samples in terms of springiness, cohesiveness and resilience (p < 0.05). The change in the textural properties was explained by investigating the histological changes of beef cuts for both thawing method. Ohmic thawing provided the thawed meat sample having lower textural and histological changes rather than conventionally thawed ones.
