研究干法、半干法及湿法3种磨粉方式对糙米粉损伤淀粉含量、平均粒径、微观结构、水合特性、热焓特性和流变性质等的影响。结果表明,干法磨粉糙米粉损伤淀粉含量、吸水指数、水溶性和膨胀势显著高于湿法和半干法。但干法磨粉糙米粉平均粒径、凝胶最大弹性模量和最大黏性模量显著小于湿法和半干法。干法和半干法糙米粉糊化焓值低于湿法。干法磨粉糙米粉形成了许多不规则的颗粒碎片,而半干法和湿法的糙米粉淀粉颗粒较完整。磨粉方式和条件显著影响糙米粉的性质,应根据糙米制品品质的要求选择合适的磨粉方式和磨粉条件。     

Wet grinding characteristics of soybean for soymilk extraction

Wet grinding of hydrated soybean was carried out with mixer grinder, stone grinder and colloid mill which revealed that particle size had a profound effect on the protein recovery in the extracted milk with a maximum recovery of 89.3%. Greater reduction in particle size was achieved with mixer grinder (180 μm) with 5 min of grinding while reduction was not significant beyond 18 min (233 μm) in stone grinder. Specific energy consumption in colloid mill was only one-fourth of the mixer grinder while stone grinder required twice the energy. Although Kick’s, Rittinger’s and Bond’s laws could not be applied for total grinding duration, all the three classical laws were found suitable after the initial grain break-up period (2 min). Temperature and duration of thermal treatment given during hot extraction influenced protein recovery and viscosity of soymilk. The results suggest that colloid mill is a potential device for industrial scale operation.     

Milling of rice grains: The roles of starch structures in the solubility and swelling properties of rice flour

Rice flours with different particle sizes and degrees of damaged starch granules were produced by hammer milling and cryogenic milling of rice grains, where degradation of starch molecules was evident in the hammer‐milled flours, but not in the cryogenically milled flours. The solubility and swelling properties of the resulting rice flours were determined in cold (30°C) and hot water (90°C). The cold‐ and hot‐water starch solubility was strongly correlated with the degree of damaged starch granules, and weakly with the particle size of rice flour. No evident correlations were observed between starch solubility and the molecular structures, indicating that molecular degradation by milling process was not the only precondition of increased starch solubility. Possible mechanism for the observed correlations is that increasing surface area and/or exposure of loosely packed inner part of starch granules with increasing degree of damaged starch granules allowed more starch molecules to leach out in cold and hot water. Furthermore, the cold‐water swelling of rice flour was strongly correlated with the degree of damaged starch granules, possibly due to the rapid hydration of damaged starch granules, whereas the hot‐water swelling did not show any correlations with flour particle size and granular and molecular starch structures. The results have provided better insights in the relationship between starch structures and solubility and swelling properties of rice flour, which can be used to improve the manufacture and selection criteria of rice flour for better products.     

Study to analyze the influence of sprouting of the wheat grain on the grinding process

Several studies have been carried out on the grinding characteristic of three species of common wheat (Triticum aestivum, ssp. vulgare). The three-day germinated kernels were pulverized in a micro hammer mill equipped with a changeable screen. The moisture of samples was 12% (w.b.). The results showed that the sprouting of wheat had a significant influence on the grinding process. The average particle size of the pulverized material obtained from the sprouted kernels was almost always significantly lower than those from the sound kernels. The highest changes were observed in the increase of the fraction of particles below a size of 200 μm, caused by sprouting. The sprouting caused a decrease in the value of specific grinding energy in all cultivars. Based on the parameters of screen openings and cultivar, the values of specific grinding energy ranged from 35.5 to 141.6 kJ kg⁻¹ and from 41.4 to 164.3 kJ kg⁻¹ for the sprouted and sound kernels, respectively. In addition, the other values of grinding energy indices confirmed that sprouting significantly reduced the grinding energy requirements. The average value of the grinding ability index was 3.9 and 4.8 kJ m⁻² for the sprouted and sound wheat, respectively. Whereas, sprouting caused a decrease in the average value of the grinding index from 71.2 to 58.0 kJ kg⁻¹ mm^0.5.     

干法、半干法和湿法磨粉工艺制备的糙米米线品质研究

采用干法、半干法和湿法3种方式将糙米磨粉制备糙米米线,干法粉碎强度10～40 Hz,半干法调节含水量为20%～35%及湿法料液比为1∶1、1∶2、1∶3、1∶4,研究了3种磨粉方式对糙米米线蒸煮品质和质构性质的影响,并分析了糙米磨粉颗粒细度及损伤淀粉含量与糙米米线蒸煮品质的相关性。结果表明,磨粉方式及磨粉工艺条件显著影响糙米米线的蒸煮、质构和感官品质,糙米磨粉颗粒细度与糙米米线最佳蒸煮时间显著正相关,与糙米米线断条率显著负相关。糙米磨粉损伤淀粉含量与糙米米线最佳蒸煮时间、硬度显著负相关,损伤淀粉含量与糙米米线断条率显著正相关。干法粉碎强度10、半干法水分调节含量20%、30%和35%、湿法粉碎料液比1∶3～1∶4时,糙米米线的品质较好。     

Effects of particle size distributions of rice flour on the quality of gluten-free rice cupcakes

The particle size distributions (PSD) of rice flour and milling processes are important in making gluten-free products. The dry rice flour was prepared by grinding dried rice grains after soaking. Effects of PSD on the quality of rice cupcakes were investigated using the newly-developed rice flour. The flour properties passed through 80, 120, 160, and 200 (<180, <125, <95, and <75 μm) meshsieves, and batters and cupcakes prepared from their flours were analyzed. The PSD patterns showed two peaks containing cells and free starch fractions, in which the starch fraction peak intensity increased as a particle size decreased. While damaged starch, water binding capacity, solubility and lightness increased, crude protein and yellowness decreased as a particle size decreased. The final and setback viscosities increased as a particle size decreased. The specific volume of cupcakes was the highest in the cupcakes made with rice flour passed through under 95 μm. Hardness and springiness decreased as a particle size decreased. The air cell sizes decreased as a particle size decreased with homogeneity. Air cell homogeneity, volume, hardness, and softness of cakes determined by the different test, and appearance, texture, and overall quality determined by the preference test were all significantly different (p < 0.05).     

鱼骨泥残留肌原纤维蛋白在加工过程中结构及性质的变化

依次利用胶体磨细粉碎(简称细粉碎)和湿法超微粉碎(简称超微粉碎)逐级粉碎方式制备鱼骨泥,提取不同工艺阶段骨泥中的肌原纤维蛋白,以肌原纤维蛋白溶解度、粒度、浊度、活性巯基含量、表面疏水性和相对二级结构含量等为指标,研究鱼骨泥加工过程中肌原纤维蛋白结构性质的变化。结果显示:不同阶段加工工艺对鱼骨泥中肌原纤维蛋白结构性质影响显著,其中超微粉碎对骨泥中肌原纤维蛋白结构性质影响较大,细粉碎对蛋白结构性质影响相对较小。逐级粉碎可以显著提高鱼骨泥中肌原纤维蛋白的溶解度;在胶体磨剪切力作用下,肌原纤维蛋白粒径显著减小,而经超微粉碎后,由于蛋白质结构的破坏和聚集作用,肌原纤维蛋白粒径会显著增加,由299.4 nm增至464.5 nm,同时浊度也随之升高;细粉碎后活性巯基含量和表面疏水性均显著下降,但随着超微粉碎次数增加,活性巯基含量和表面疏水性均呈现先升高后下降的趋势;细粉碎使肌原纤维蛋白α-螺旋结构比例由64.21%增加到79.99%、β结构比例下降,而超微粉碎可破坏α-螺旋结构,使其部分转变成β结构。     

Effects of processing conditions and the use of modified starch and monoglyceride on some properties of extruded rice vermicelli

Pasting profile and gel appearance of rice flour, rice flour mixed with the modified starch, MYK-500T and monoglyceride, Monomul 90-35P were examined. The optimum conditions for the extrusion of rice vermicelli obtained were: screw speed 30 rpm; feeder speed, 50 rpm; temperature of three zones, 90 °C:100 °C:100 °C. The rice noodle had white color, good retention of shape but stuck together after cooking. The use of modified starch, and monoglyceride could reduce the stickiness of the product. The noodle extruded from rice flour added with MYK-500T (4 g/100 g blend), and Monomul 90-35P (1 g/100 g blend) was firm and not sticky, showing cooking time at 2 min, cooking weight 315 g/100 g dry noodle, cooking loss 11.1 g/100 g dry noodle and degree of gelatinization 88.9%. The hardness of the product was 1230 g and tensile strength 9.5 g. Sensory evaluation showed that the acceptance of the extruded rice vermicelli was not significantly different from other 3 commercial products prepared by conventional method.     

不同湿法粉碎装置的粉碎能耗及豆浆特性的研究

实验分析了石磨、胶体磨、剪切粉碎机对生大豆和煮过的大豆的粉碎特性。在分批粉碎时,粉碎时间的长短与粒径的大小成逆相关,与粉碎能耗的多少成正相关。石磨的能量利用率最低,粉碎生大豆的能耗为剪切粉碎机的1.83倍。和生大豆相比,煮过的大豆所需的粉碎时间要长些,因此所需能耗要高些。三种典型的能耗学说（基克的体积学说、邦德的裂纹扩展学说、雷廷格的表面积学说）都可以被应用,但雷廷格学说较其它两个学说更适合,其次为邦德学说。煮过的大豆浆液粘度比生大豆的要大,两者都显示出非牛顿假塑性。     

糙米干法和湿法微粉碎对面团及面包品质的影响

将糙米分别进行干法和湿法微粉碎,与谷朊粉以4:1比例混合,制备糙米面团和面包,研究干法和湿法微粉碎对糙米面团和面包品质的影响。结果表明,经干法和湿法微粉碎后糙米粉颗粒细度显著降低,湿法粉碎糙米粉破损淀粉含量较少。干法粉碎糙米粉面团结构致密,弹性和黏性升高,糙米面包比容降低,硬度和耐咀性增强,弹性降低。随着粉碎时间的延长,湿法粉碎糙米粉-谷朊粉面团的黏性和弹性先升高后降低,面团网络结构更加紧密,其面包的比容与黏性和弹性变化规律一致,面包耐咀性和硬度增加,弹性降低。干法粉碎15 min(微粉A),湿法粉碎40 min(微粉X)时,糙米面包的比容最大,硬度和弹性适中,面包的品质较好。     

The effect of cryogenic grinding and hammer milling on the flavour quality of ground pepper (Piper nigrum L.)

In this study, we compared the effects of cryogenic grinding and hammer milling on the flavour attributes of black, white, and green pepper. The flavour attributes were analysed using headspace solid-phase micro-extraction (HS-SPME) and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC/MS), sensory evaluation and electronic nose (e-nose) analysis. Cryogenic grinding resulted in minimal damage to the colour, flavour, and sensory attributes of the spices. Cryogenic grinding was also better than hammer milling at preserving the main potent aroma constituents, but the concentrations of the main aroma constituents were dramatically reduced after storing the samples at 4 °C for 6 months. Pattern matching performed by the e-nose further supported our sensory and instrumental findings. Overall, cryogenic grinding was superior to hammer milling for preserving the sensory properties and flavour attributes of pepper without significantly affecting its quality. However, we found that the flavour quality of ground pepper was reduced during storage.     

Laboratory Wet‐Milling of Grain Sorghum With Abbreviated Steeping to Give Two Products

Short‐time and no‐time steeping were used in the wet‐milling of grain sorghum to give two products, starch in over 78% recovery (starch basis) plus the remaining grain solids. In the wet‐milling process 1.5 parts of fresh water were used per part of grain to compensate for drying and transfer losses. Starting with 100 g (dry solids) of commercial No.2 grain sorghum, steep time (1—3 h), steep temperature (25—60 °C), and coarse‐grinding speed (7, 500—12, 500 rpm with tip speed of 90.4—150.7 km/h) were varied in a model study; starch recovery, starch lightness (L*), and damaged starch were the responses. Grain sorghum was steeped with twice its weight of process water containing 0.2% sulfur dioxide and the steeped kernels were added to an equal volume of process water and the mixture was ground for 6 min in a Waring blender with blunt blades (d = 3.2 cm). The course‐ground material was sieved (opening 1190 μm) to collect the bran/germ, and the throughs were allowed to stand. The sedimented phase was finely ground by one pass through a plate mill, and the fine fiber removed by sieving (opening 73 μm). The slurry was adjusted to a specific gravity of 1.04, and the starch was separated from the protein fraction on a starch table. The protein fraction was combined with the steep‐liquor concentrate (54% solids) plus the bran/fiber and the fine‐fiber fractions to give the co‐product, which contained 70% moisture (wet basis, wb) and 27% protein (dry basis, db). In the surface response study, recovery of starch ranged from 57 to 89%, starch protein content from 0.4 to 0.5%, and lightness (L*) from 90 to 93. Damaged starch content was constant at around 0.4%. Commercial grain sorghum gave the highest starch recovery (90%) after steeping 2 h at 55 °C and coarse‐grinding at 10, 500 rpm; whereas a food‐grade, a white and a red sorghum gave 85, 84, and 80% recoveries, respectively. The four starches had lightness (L*) values of 93—94 and damaged starch contents of 0.4—0.6%. When the commercial grain sorghum was wet‐ground without steeping in 2 parts of water containing 0.2% sulfur dioxide, a 78% recovery of starch was obtained with L* 93.7 and starch damage 0.5%.     

Grinding characteristics,physical, and flow specific properties of roasted maize and soybean flour

Grinding characteristics (one and two stage grinding) of roasted maize (RM) and soybean (RS) were conducted in attrition mill to find the effect of feed rate and peripheral speed on average particle size (A_PS), specific energy consumption (S_EC), size reduction ratio (SRR), and grinding constants. Carr Index (CI), Housner ratio (HR), density, water, and oil absorption capacity of flour were also studied as a function of particle size. The higher SRR, A_PS, and grinding recovery were recorded in the first stage grinding as compared with second one. S_EC was decreasing significantly (p < .05) from 0.0039 ± 0.0011 to 0.0013 ± 0.0019 kwh/kg as, feed rate increased from 9 to 15 kg/hr. The grinding constants were significantly increased in the second stage grinding. The flowability of flour such as CI and HR was poor at lower particle size. S_EC and A_PS analysis revealed that a two‐stage segregated grinding would be suitable for RM and RS grinding.

Practical applications

Roasted maize and soybean flour are highly nutritive food and prepared by roasting, grinding and sieving. Flour particle sizes and flow specific properties play an important role in addressing malnutrition and ready‐to‐eat food formulations. The digestibility and release of bioactive components also depend upon particle size and granular morphology of the food. Though, the present study is also acquainted with energy consumption during processing operation and product quality and which are key parameters for scaling‐up and designing the grinding equipment. The information generated regarding the energy consumption and health benefits may be useful for food processors and consumers as well.     

Paste viscosity of rice starches of different amylose content and carboxymethylcellulose formed by dry heating and the physical properties of their films

Starch modified by combination with sodium carboxymethylcellulose (CMC) has been reported to have improved film properties. In this study, rice starches with different amylose content were heat-treated in a dry state after being impregnated with low or medium-viscosity CMC. Noticeable change was found in pasting properties of the starches after dry heat treatment with CMC. It indicated that crosslinkage occurred between the starch and CMC. The waxy starch showed significant change in viscosity throughout pasting after dry heating with CMC, suggesting that the ester bonds were mostly formed between the hydroxyl groups in amylopectin branches of rice starch and carboxylate acid groups of CMC. Particle size also increased after heat treatment with CMC. The modified starch-based films showed improvement in the tensile strength. Both water vapor and oxygen permeability reduced for the modified starch-based films. Dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA) study showed that the values of G′ of modified starch-based film were higher than those of native starch-based film over the temperature range −40 to 60 °C. The heating process with CMC could be used as a modification method for starch and provide desirable properties of starch-based films.     

制粉工艺对大米粉淀粉成分的影响

采用不同制粉工艺制备大米粉并测定其中损伤淀粉和直链淀粉的含量,试验表明:与干磨制粉相比,湿磨制粉可以明显降低损伤淀粉的产生,且得到的大米粉中直链淀粉含量高,但磨浆却会导致部分可溶性直链淀粉流失。     

In vitro measurement of resistant starch of cooked milled rice and physico-chemical characteristics affecting its formation

Resistant starch (RS) content was determined in 10 indica and japonica milled rices with different levels of amylose. The effect of microbial growth during starch digestion on the measurement of RS, and the correlation between physico-chemical characteristics and RS contents of milled rice were analysed. Results indicated a significant decrease (P < 0.01) in assay values of RS after antibiotics addition, and the markedly decreased sample pH due to fermentation might be the main reason for errors in RS determination. Correlation analyses showed that RS contents of milled rice were closely related to amylose content (r = 0.75, P < 0.05) and protein content (r = 0.78, P < 0.01). No significant correlation existed between RS content and some relatively simple physical properties, such as width, shape and elongation ratio of rice grain, which were reported to be good indictors of rate of rice starch digestion, while a significant positive correlation was found between elongation ratio and digestible starch in cooked milled rice (r = 0.67, P < 0.05).

Technical note: Determination of corn hardness in diverse corn germplasm using near-infrared reflectance baseline shift as a measure of grinding resistance

Vitreousness and Stenvert kernel hardness characteristics in corn germplasm have been related to in situ and in vivo starch digestibility in lactating dairy cows. Because of the tedious nature of determining vitreousness by manual dissection or conducting Stenvert hardness measurements, it is challenging to screen corn germplasm for animal performance potential. The resistance of corn to grinding is typically measured in a Stenvert mill and quantified by grinding time and column height. The baseline shift (BLS) of near-infrared reflectance spectroscopy, which is a normal artifact of grinding-induced particle size differentiation, was calculated and evaluated as an alternative measure of grinding resistance. Stenvert grind time, column height, BLS, and ruminal DM degradability (RDMD) of 31 diverse corn germplasm harvested in triplicate at 2 maturities were made. After grinding, total and 6 partial (100 nm) BLS were calculated [Σ x_i + x_j…, where x_i = log₁₀(1/R) at the ith nanometer and R = reflectance] and compared with vitreousness, Stenvert grinding time, column height, or RDMD of corns using correlation and regression procedures. Total and all partial BLS were correlated with vitreousness, Stenvert measures, and RDMD. Relationships between BLS and vitreousness, Stenvert measures, or RDMD were stronger for partial BLS at shorter near-infrared wavelengths (1,080-1,180 nm) than at longer wavelengths (i.e., 2,280-2,380 nm) or total near-infrared BLS (1,000-2,498 nm). The partial BLS from 1,080 to 1,180 nm and vitreousness were better related to RDMD of corn germplasm than Stenvert grind time or column height.     

Hydrothermal treatments of rice starch for improvement of rice noodle quality

Two types of hydrothermal treated rice starches were prepared by annealing and heat-moisture treatment (HMT). Annealing of starch slurry was conducted at 55 °C for 24 h and HMT was applied in starch with 20 g/100 g moisture at 110 °C for 1.5 h, based on the optimization of the treatment conditions. The apparent changes on gelatinization, swelling, RVA paste viscosities and gel hardness of starch were observed. The study on 50% substitution of rice flour with untreated (UR), annealed (AR) or heat-moisture treated (HR) rice starches proved that the cooking and texture quality of rice noodle was substantially affected by the treatments. The composite noodles of flour and hydrothermal treated rice starches exhibited quality parameters which were closer to those of commercial noodles. The results revealed the possibility of utilizing these starches with low quality rice flour so as to produce noodles of acceptable quality. The study also inferred that characterization of RVA paste viscosities and gel texture of flour could become a practical method for predicting the quality of the derived noodle.     

Production of silver carp bone powder using superfine grinding technology: Suitable production parameters and its properties

Superfine grinding technology is a new type of food processing that is employed to produce powders with outstanding properties such as high solubility, dispersion, adsorption, chemical reactivity and fluidity. The objective of this work was to study the superfine grinding technology on the silver carp bone and to optimize the operational parameters. The optimum processing conditions of superfine grinding were: feeding pressure of 0.85 MPa, grinding pressure of 1.0 MPa, feeding rate of 0.0325 g/s, feeding particle size of 150-300 μm and one pass through the grinder. Silver carp bone powder with average particle size (D₅₀) of 7.65 μm was produced at these conditions. It was found that the smaller particle size of the powder, the higher its fluidity, solubility, solubility of protein, electric conductivity and water holding capacity of the powder were. So the quality of the products produced by the superfine grinding technology was said to be improved.
