PHYSICAL PROPERTIES of VARIOUS STARCH BASED FAT-SUBSTITUTES

Physical properties—rigidity modulus (RM), water solubility, gel strength (GS), water holding capacity (WHC), electrical conductivity (EC), apparent viscosity (AV), and pH of 8 starch-based fat-substitutes were determined. These fat-substitutes provide a wide variation in physical properties. Some form strong gels when heated, others provide good cold water solubility. In some cases, freezing treatment improved gelling ability. All fat-substitutes had good hot water solubility. the EC increased with the increase in fat-substitute concentration. pH at 30% concentration ranged from 4.8 to 6.6. the samples with lower concentrations resulted higher pH. Both pseudoplastic and dilatant behaviors were observed.     

“宜糖”米淀粉性质对粉丝品质的影响

为了探讨"宜糖"米粉丝和绿豆粉丝品质差异的原因,对2种淀粉的理化性质和热力学特性进行了比较。研究表明2,种淀粉在理化性质方面的差异为:"宜糖"米淀粉的持水性是绿豆淀粉的1.6倍,透光率是绿豆淀粉的40%,溶解度显著高于绿豆淀粉。2种淀粉在热力学方面的差异为:"宜糖"米淀粉的凝胶强度是绿豆淀粉的45%,热焓值是绿豆淀粉的60%,冷藏缩水率显著低于绿豆淀粉。"宜糖"米粉丝比绿豆粉丝品质差的原因可能与"宜糖"米淀粉具有较高的持水性和溶解度,较低的透光率、凝胶强度、冷藏缩水率和热焓值有关。     

The acylated protein derivatives of Canavalia ensiformis (jack bean): A study of functional characteristics

Protein concentrate was prepared from jack bean (JNP) and it was modified by acylation using acetic (JAP) and succinic anhydrides (JSP). Proximate analyses revealed that moisture and ash content increased following acetylation and succinylation, while both acetylation and succinylation reduced percentage crude fat and protein. Acetylation and succinylation reduced protein solubility in the acidic pH range below the isoelectric point (4.5) of the protein concentrate but improved the solubility of the unmodified protein concentrate at the isoelectric point and pH range alkaline to the isoelectric point. Both acetylation and succinylation increased the water absorption capacity of unmodified protein concentrates at all levels of ionic strength investigated (0.1-1.0 mol/l). Acetylation improved oil absorption capacity whereas the tendency to absorb oil reduced after succinylation. Maximal emulsifying activity of native and modified proteins were obtained at pH 10. Emulsion stability of acylated proteins was higher than those of native proteins in the range of pH 4-10 but lower when the pH was 2. Foam capacity and stability of both native and modified proteins increased with increase in protein concentration. Foam capacity of modified proteins increased progressively with increase in pH from 2 to 10. Also, acylated protein derivatives had improved foam capacity over the native protein except at pH 2. Gelation capacity of both native and modified proteins was maximal at the region of isoelectric point.

Effect of acetylation and succinylation on solubility profile, water absorption capacity, oil absorption capacity and emulsifying properties of mucuna bean (Mucuna pruriens) protein concentrate

Mucuna protein concentrate was acylated with succinic and acetic anhydride. The effects of acylation on solubility, water absorption capacity, oil absorption capacity and emulsifying properties were investigated. The pH-dependent solubility profile of unmodified mucuna protein concentrate (U-mpc) showed a decrease in solubility with decrease in pH and resolubilisation at pH values acidic to isoelectric pH (pH 4). Apart from pH 2, both acetylated mucuna protein concentrates (A-mpc) and succinylated mucuna protein concentrate (S-mpc) had improved solubility over the unmodified derivative. Acylation increased the water absorption capacity (WAC) at all levels of ionic strength (0.1-1.0 M). WAC of the protein samples increased with increase in ionic strength up to 0.2 M after which a decline occurred with increase in ionic strength from 0.4-1.0 M. When protein solutions were prepared in salts of various ions, increase in WAC followed the Hofmeister series in the order: NaSCN < NaClO4 < NaI < NaBr < NaCl < Na2SO. Acetylation improved the oil absorption capacity while the lipophilic tendency reduced the following succinylation. Emulsifying capacity increased with increase in concentration up to 2, 4 and 5% w/v for U-mpc, A-mpc and S-mpc, respectively, after which an increase in concentration reduced the emulsifying capacity. Both acetylation and succinylation significantly (P < 0.05) improved the emulsifying capacity at pH 4-10. Initial increase in ionic strength up to 0.4 M for U-mpc and 0.4 M for A-mpc and S-mpc increased the emulsion capacity progressively. Further increase in ionic strength reduced emulsion capacity (EC). Contrary to the effect of various salts on WAC, increase in EC generally follows the series Na2SO4 < NaCl < NaBr < NaI < NaClO4 < NaSCN. At all levels of ionic strength studied, S-mpc had a better emulsifying activity (EA) than both A-mpc and U-mpc. EA and emulsifying stability (ES) were pH-dependent. Maximum EA and ES were recorded at pH 10. ES of protein derivatives were higher than those of U-mpc in the range of pH 4-10 but lower at pH 2. Studies revealed that both A-mpc and S-mpc had better ES and EA than the unmodified derivative when protein solutions were prepared in salts of various anions.     

乙醇-热处理制备冷水溶胀小麦淀粉及其结构和功能特性的研究

将天然小麦淀粉分散到不同浓度的乙醇溶液（0、10%、20%、30%、40%、50%）中,在80 ℃下加热处理30 min制备冷水溶胀小麦淀粉,研究了不同乙醇浓度下小麦淀粉的晶体结构、功能特性（持水性、持油性、糊化特性、凝胶强度）及微观形态的变化。结果表明,0~40%处理组X-射线衍射图谱中天然小麦淀粉的A-型晶体结构完全消失,50%处理组呈现有部分天然小麦淀粉的衍射峰;与傅里叶变换红外光谱的结论一致。与此同时,当乙醇浓度从10%增加到40%时,处理组样品持水性、持油性、凝胶强度显著提高（P<0.05）,乙醇浓度进一步增加至50%时,持水性和持油性显著下降（P<0.05）。此外,扫描电镜表明0~40%处理组颗粒表面裂缝数随着乙醇浓度的升高增多,而50%处理组仅表面出现褶皱无裂缝。综合考虑,选取40%乙醇浓度处理小麦淀粉制备冷水溶胀淀粉的效果最好。     

Characterization of Extruded and Toasted Milk Protein Concentrates

Important functional properties of milk protein concentrate with 80% protein (MPC80), modified with low‐ and high‐shear extrusion, or low‐temperature toasting were compared. The effect of high‐ and low‐shear profile screws in a corotating twin‐screw extruder, and 4 different ramped temperature profiles with die temperatures of 65, 75, 90, and 120 °C were compared. Extrudates were pelletized, dried, and ground to a fine powder. Toasting was done at 75 and 110 °C for 4 h for milk protein modification. Extruded and toasted MPC80 had reduced protein solubility and surface hydrophobicity. Extrusion decreased water‐holding capacity (WHC). Toasted MPC80 had increased WHC when treated at 75 °C, but WHC decreased when heated at 110 °C. The treatments had no strong influence on gel strength. Reduced and nonreduced sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis revealed peptide structural changes that occurred due to processing, especially for whey proteins. Results are discussed in terms of potential for application of extruded or toasted MPC80 in high‐protein nutrition bar applications.     

SPRAY DRIED PROTEIN POWDER FROM THREADFIN BREAM: PREPARATION, PROPERTIES AND COMPARISON WITH FPC TYPE-B

Mechanically deboned threadfin bream (Nemipterus japonicus) meat was repeatedly washed in cold water and homogenized in equal amounts of water. The myofibrillar proteins in the homogenate were converted into a gel by the addition of acetic acid to lower the pH. The diluted gel was spray dried to get a colorless, odorless powder containing 93% protein, 1% lipid, 2.6% ash and 5% moisture. The functional properties of the powder including solubility, moisture absorption, and water holding and emulsifying capacities were superior as compared with those of FPC type-B obtained after cooking and hot air-drying of the fish meat. The spray dried powder had a protein efficiency ratio of 3.52 ± 0.27 and was digestible up to 80% by trypsin and pepsin. Unlike the FPC-type B, the spray dried powder did not undergo significant browning suggesting its superior storage stability.     

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.

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.

Comparative studies on the functional properties of various protein concentrate preparations of peanut protein

The effect of different preparations on the functional properties of peanut protein concentrates was studied. Peanut protein concentrates were isolated from defatted peanut flour by isoelectric precipitation, alcohol precipitation, isoelectric precipitation combined with alcohol precipitation, alkali solution with isoelectric precipitation and their functional properties (protein solubility, water holding/oil binding capacity, emulsifying capacity and stability, foaming capacity and rheology) were evaluated. The results showed that the protein solubility, foaming capacity and stability of protein prepared by alkali solution with isoelectric precipitation were the best of all the peanut protein products. But the protein prepared by alcohol precipitation had better water holding/oil binding capacity, which was significantly different from other protein products. The emulsifying stability of protein concentrate prepared by different methods was significantly lower than that of defatted protein flour. The protein prepared by isoelectric precipitation and isoelectric precipitation combined with alcohol precipitation had better gel properties which indicated that they were a potential food ingredient.     

Effect of ionic strength and/or pH on Extractability and physico-functional characterization of broad bean (Vicia faba L.) Protein concentrate

Protein extractability studies showed that the protein of broad bean (Vicia faba L.) was extractable at both acidic and basic pH. The percentage of pH-12 extractable protein that was precipitated at pH 4 (isoelectric point) from protein concentrate, dehulled full-fat seed flour and whole seed flour are 62.0%, 61.2% and 71.6%, respectively. Low ionic strength (μ0.4) increased the solubility of the protein in the bean concentrate at acidic pH, while at alkaline pH, increase in ionic strength (0.1–2.0) had an inverse relationship on the concentrate protein solubility. The capacity to form protein-stabilized foam was least (34%) at pH 4 and highest (97%) at pH 12. These were increased to 62% (pH 4) and 139% (pH 12) in medium with ionic strengths of 0.2 and 0.4, respectively. The foam formed was more stable at pH 4 than at the other pHs. Low ionic strength of 0.1 improved water absorption capacity but reduced it at ionic strength of 0.6.     

Effect of CMC Molecular Weight on Acid‐Induced Gelation of Heated WPI‐CMC Soluble Complex

Acid‐induced gelation properties of heated whey protein isolate (WPI) and carboxymethylcellulose (CMC) soluble complex were investigated as a function of CMC molecular weight (270, 680, and 750 kDa) and concentrations (0% to 0.125%). Heated WPI‐CMC soluble complex with 6% protein was made by heating biopolymers together at pH 7.0 and 85 °C for 30 min and diluted to 5% protein before acid‐induced gelation. Acid‐induced gel formed from heated WPI‐CMC complexes exhibited increased hardness and decreased water holding capacity with increasing CMC concentrations but gel strength decreased at higher CMC content. The highest gel strength was observed with CMC 750 k at 0.05%. Gels with low CMC concentration showed homogenous microstructure which was independent of CMC molecular weight, while increasing CMC concentration led to microphase separation with higher CMC molecular weight showing more extensive phase separation. When heated WPI‐CMC complexes were prepared at 9% protein the acid gels showed improved gel hardness and water holding capacity, which was supported by the more interconnected protein network with less porosity when compared to complexes heated at 6% protein. It is concluded that protein concentration and biopolymer ratio during complex formation are the major factors affecting gel properties while the effect of CMC molecular weight was less significant.     

Incorporation of canola proteins extracted by electroactivated solutions in gluten‐free biscuit formulation of rice–buckwheat flour blend: assessment of quality characteristics and textural properties of the product

Canola proteins extracted by electroactivated solutions were incorporated to gluten‐free biscuits made from blend of rice and buckwheat flours. Physical and textural properties were significantly influenced by these proteins. Isolates and concentrates did not behave in a similar way. A significant increase in diameter was noted for all of the supplemented samples. An increase in thickness was observed for the samples added with protein concentrate, whereas the spread ratio decreased for all the samples compared to control. The hardness of biscuits decreased with the addition of the proteins as compared to the control. The changes in biscuit hardness or fracture strength were in line with the changes in dough hardness. Biscuits containing protein concentrate had lighter, more aerated texture as shown by scanning electron microscopy with lesser amounts of gelatinised starch, indicating improved gas‐holding capacity and more stabilised structure. Protein‐supplemented biscuits have lower moisture and water activity.
