Formation of oxidising species and their role in the viscosity loss of cereal beta-glucan extracts

The aim of this study was to determine the role of the formation of radicals and hydrogen peroxide in the viscosity loss of beta-glucan extracts from oat and barley. Radicals derived from endogenous H₂O₂ were formed spontaneously in all extracts. The decomposition of H₂O₂ by catalase had little or no effect on the viscosity, and the radical formation detected and measured by electron spin resonance (ESR) spectroscopy did not predict the shelf life of crude beta-glucan extracts. The addition of FeSO₄ accelerated the radical formation and viscosity loss, revealing the sensitivity of the extract viscosity towards catalysts for oxidation. Using 50% cadoxen in the extracts slowed down the viscosity loss in all extracts but still led to a 10–70% decrease of the initial viscosities during 4 weeks of storage. The results suggest that the viscosity loss may be a result from multiple mechanisms including chemical reactions during storage as well as aggregation and conformational changes.     

羧甲基淀粉糊性质的研究

本文对羧甲基淀粉糊性质进行了详细的研究，包括糊的冷热粘度稳定性、凝沉性、冻融稳定性、透明度、ｐＨ值和介质（蔗糖，氯化钠）对糊粘度性质的影响。结果表明，淀粉经过羧甲基化后，糊的热粘度稳定性大为降低，冷粘度稳定性增加；在ｐＨ３．５～８．５范围内，有较好的耐酸碱稳定性；１０％蔗糖对糊粘度性质影响不明显，添加氯化钠会使糊化温度升高，峰值粘度降低，凝沉性增大；羧甲基淀粉具有易糊化，糊凝沉性低，冻融稳定性好和透明度高的优良性质。

Optimization of enzymatic process parameters for increased juice yield from carrot (Daucus carota L.) using response surface methodology

The effects of enzyme concentration (50–650 mg/kg grated carrot), pectolytic and cellulolytic enzyme ratio (3:7–7:3), incubation time (30–150 min) and temperature (25–65 °C) on juice recovery and viscosity from grated carrot were studied. A central composite rotatable design (CCRD) was used in designing the treatment combinations of four variables at five levels. The process involved in treating the blanched grated carrot with mixture of crude pectolytic enzyme from Aspergillus foetidus and crude cellulolytic enzyme from Trichoderma ressi, keeping the samples at the desired time, followed by extraction of juice. Enzyme-treated grated carrot sample showed increased juice recovery as compared to control. A second-order response surface model adequately fitted the data. All the variables affected juice recovery and viscosity significantly. Enzyme concentration, pectolytic and cellulolytic enzyme ratio, incubation time and temperature had total and combined effect at linear, square and interactive level on both responses. The optimum condition was enzyme concentration, 210.7 mg/kg of grated carrot; pectolytic and cellulolytic enzyme ratio, 3.84:6.16; incubation time, 130 min and incubation temperature 47 °C. Under the optimal conditions, juice extracted from enzyme-treated grated carrot was 74.3% having juice viscosity 1.07 cP, corresponding to the increase in yield by 13.95% and decrease in viscosity by 0.45 cP.     

Influence of calcium fortification on sensory, physical and rheological characteristics of fruit yogurt

There has been great demand of calcium fortified dairy products as they can serve as an ideal vehicle for carrying extra calcium to fulfill the nutritional needs but there is need to generate information on the effect of fortification of calcium on the physical properties of these products. In the present study, the calcium enriched mango yogurt was prepared after fortification of pasteurized yogurt mix with 50 mg Ca/100 ml of calcium lactate, this level selected from a preliminary study of sensory evaluation. Fortification of yogurt with calcium lactate at this level significantly (P<0.005) increased the water holding capacity (WHC) by 2.99% on 1st day of storage. WHC of calcium fortified fruit yogurt was higher than control fruit yogurt on 7th and 14th day of storage. Measurements performed on slowly stirred samples (flow curves and final apparent viscosity) showed that calcium-enriched fruit yogurt had stronger structures. Calcium fortified fruit yogurt showed less shear thinning behavior as compared to control. Also, apparent viscosity measurements at constant shear rate showed a significantly (P<0.05) less decrease in initial apparent viscosity in calcium fortified fruit yogurt. However, no statistically significant (P>0.05) difference was observed in tan δ values of control and calcium fortified fruit yogurt indicating similar nature of bonds involved in the gel structure formation of both the yogurt samples. The more firm structure of the calcium fortified fruit yogurt is thus attributed to the higher extent of colloidal calcium phosphate cross-linking between casein micelles due to increased calcium content by fortification. Also flavor, color, and body and texture scores of control and calcium fortified fruit yogurt did not show any significant difference (P>0.05).
