<em>This work deals with the effect of banana (sweet plaintain or ‘kepok’ variety) hump flour substituted to wheat flour in the making of noodle, on physical, chemical, and sensory characteristics of noodle.  A completely randomized was employed, with three replicates. Sensory analysis was conducted according to randomized group design. Four proportions of banana hump to wheat flour (10:90, 20:80, 30:70, and 40:60, weight basis) was studied. Results showed that the best physical and chemical characteristics was shown by noodle made from 10:90 proportion of banana hump to wheat flour, with 4.59% water absorption, 0.57% cooking loss, 10.37% water content, 34.21% starch content. However, result of sensory analysis suggested that the most liked noodle was that made from flour proportion of 20:80 with ‘like’ for colour, ‘like very much’ for aroma, ‘like’ for texture, ‘like’ for taste, and ‘like’ for overall preference</em>

The tortilla is a foodstuff that has a short shelf-life, causing great losses to the industry. The objective of this work was to evaluate, for the first time, the physicochemical properties and resistant starch (RS) content of flours. These were obtained from nixtamalized corn tortillas made with traditional and industrial (commercial) methods, stored at 4 °C for 7, 15, and 30 days. The flours were characterized by measuring particle size distribution, color, water absorption index (WAI), water solubility index (WSI), viscosity, calcium, and RS content. Additionally, chemical proximate analysis, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and thermal analysis were conducted. Storage at 4 °C increased the friability of tortillas and shifted the particle size distribution toward a greater content of coarse particles in corn tortilla flours. The commercial corn tortilla flours showed higher WAI and WSI values than the traditional corn tortilla flours. On the other hand, the traditional corn tortilla flours exhibited higher RS content values than commercial corn tortilla flours as well as peak viscosity. X-ray diffractograms revealed the presence of amylose-lipid complexes (RS5) in experimental samples. The thermograms evidenced three endotherms corresponding to corn starch gelatinization and melting of type I and type II amylose–lipid complexes.

White jackbean is type of bean that grows in tropical and subtropical areas. White jackbean has large protein and complex carbohydrate content. The autoclaving - cooling process can be used to change starch into resistant starch in the white jackbe an flour through gelatinization and retrogradation processes. White jackbean flour treated with autoclaving – cooling process can be used as a raw material for the formulation of food bars. Currently food bars have been in great demand along with the needs to consume healthy and nutritious ready-to-eat food. This study aims to determine the appropriate formulation of white jack bean flour treated with autoclaving – cooling process to produce food bars with the best physical, chemical and organoleptic properties.The results showed that the best formulation is the formulation of white jackbean flour : wheat flour = 60 : 40 with 48.81% carbohydrate content, 14.87% protein content, 16.57% fat content, 17.07% moisture content, 2.68% ash content, 2269.3 gf breaking strength, 6.43 N texture, 79.59 color (L), 15.71 color (a), 17.21 color (b), 4.02 color organoleptic, 3.88 flavor organoleptic, 3.83 aroma organoleptic, 3.83 texture organoleptic. and 11,38% resistant starch content.

Abstract Sweet cassava can be sold frozen, i.e., frozen food, to facilitate preparation and consumption. This study aimed to evaluate physical-chemical characteristics, cooking time, microbiological quality and sensory attributes regarding the varieties BRS Aipim Brasil and Eucalipto in frozen storage. The roots were washed in water, sanitized, cut into cylinders, peeled, sanitized, drained, packed in nylon/ low density polyethylene packages and stored at -18 °C, being evaluated every 30 days, approximately. The Eucalipto variety showed the lowest moisture (61.98%) and the highest pulp yield (71.41%) and starch content (33.45%). However, the BRS Aipim Brasil variety had lower color intensity (11.48) and greater color angle (97.45°) than Eucalipto. The two cassava genotypes showed no difference in terms of acidity, luminosity, soluble solids, total sugar content and pH. The Eucalipto variety showed the shortest cooking time (25 minutes) and moisture (62.92%) concerning the five storage times that were evaluated. This variety also had the highest starch content during storage, except at 31 days. The Eucalipto variety was more accepted for the color, aroma and overall impression attributes. Regarding flavor and texture, the two varieties were considered similar and were classified between the hedonic terms “like slightly” and “like moderately”. The sensory acceptance of the roots was not altered during storage and the grades attributed were above 6.0, which represents the minimum acceptance limit, for all evaluated attributes. Cassava frozen at -18 °C can be marketed for 120 days without microbiological risk, and without significant changes in its physical-chemical and sensory characteristics.

Background: The purpose of the study was to prepare acetylated wheat starches which have amylase hydrolysis resistant capacity to use as functional food supporting for diabetes treatment. Method: Acetate wheat starches were prepared by acetylation reaction of native wheat starch with different mole ratios of acetic anhydride. These starches were determined for the physicochemical properties by 1H-NMR, SEM, X-ray, DSC, solubility and swelling capacity, the resistant capacity by amylase hydrolysis in-vitro. Results: Acetate wheat starches were prepared successfully with the increase in acetyl content and degree of substitution corresponding with the increase of anhydride acetic, which resulted in the change of physicochemical properties of the wheat starches, including constitution, solubility, swelling capacity and contributed to the increase in resistant starch content in the acetate wheat starches. The AC150-9 containing 2.42% acetyl with degree of substitution 0,094 and resistant starch 32,11% is acceptable by FDA guideline about food safety. Conclusion: Acetate wheat starches contain low rate of digestive starch, while containing a higher proportion of resistant starch than natural wheat starch, possessing a high resistance to amylase activities. Thus, it is hope that this kind of starch to control the rapid increase of postprandual blood glucose response for diabetes treatments effectively. Key words: Acetate wheat starch, substitution, DS, RS, amylase
