Celiac disease (CD) is defined as an autoimmune pathology mediated by specific antibodies and is associated with genetic factors, which causes an inflammatory process of the intestinal mucosa in response to gluten ingestion. A study was conducted to evaluate some gluten-free cookie formulations using rice and green banana flour as raw material, and to evaluate the acceptance and chemical composition of the cookies elaborated. Three different cookie formulations were prepared to contain 100% rice flour, 50% rice flour and 50% green banana flour and 100% green banana flour. The following sensory attributes were evaluated: crispness, flavor, and overall impression, using the 9-point hedonic scale and purchase intention using the 5-point structured scale, to check the acceptance of cookies. The chemical composition of the formulation most accepted by sensory analysis was quantified. Sensory evaluation showed that all cookie formulations were accepted; however, the increase of the green banana flour content has resulted in lower acceptance, which may be due to the slightly bitter flavor that green banana flour gives the product. The most accepted cookie formulation had 15.78% protein, 0.80% ash, 4.31% moisture content, 12.35% lipid, and 66.77% carbohydrate. These nutritional characteristics are following Brazilian legislation. Therefore, all cookie formulations have marketing potential, which is very important, especially for people with gluten sensitivity.

Abstract Berunok has been a commodity with low economic value, so it is necessary to use Berunok which has high nutritional value. This study aims to determine the proximate content of P. australis. Parameters measured were yield value and proximate analysis of berunok flour. This study consisted of two stages, namely sample preparation and manufacture of berunok flour, analysis of the chemical composition of berunok flour. The research design used a completely randomized design (CRD). The results showed that berunok flour had a dry texture, very smooth, and brownish in color. While the chemical composition contained in Berunok flour is water content of 8.19%, ash content of 37.21% (db), protein content of 48.78% (db ), fat content of 3.44% (db), and carbohydrate content by a difference of 10.57% (db). The average yield value of 83.34%.

The purpose of this research was to blend quinoa (Chenopodium quinoa Willd.), buckwheat (Fagopyrum esculentum M?ench) and pumpkin (Cucurbita pepo L.) seed kernels at 40% level with wheat flour and to examine the effect of this blend on nutritional and sensory quality and also energy values of the pan bread. Hydrothermal preparation of these supplements is included. Chemical composition of the investigated materials, wheat bread and supplemented bread, was determined using relevant AOAC methods. Chemical composition of supplemented bread with an increase in protein, oil and crude fiber was superior in comparison with control wheat bread. Sensory properties of supplemented bread such as specific volume, appearance, crust and crumb texture, aroma-odor and color were evaluated and found excellent.

Exploiting the relationship between the nutritional properties of seeds and the genetic background constitutes an essential analysis, which contributes to broadening our knowledge regarding the control of the nutritional quality of seeds or any other edible plant structure. This is an important aspect when aiming at improving the nutritional characteristics of crops, including those of Chenopodium quinoa Willd. (quinoa), which has the potential to contribute to food security worldwide. Previous works have already described changes in the nutritional properties of quinoa seeds due to the influence of the environment, the genotype, or their interaction. However, there is an important limitation in the analyses carried out, including the outcomes that can be translated into agronomical practices and their effect on seed quality. In the present study, several seed nutritional-related parameters were analyzed in 15 quinoa cultivars grown in a particular environmental context. Important agronomical and nutritional differences were found among cultivars, such as variations in mineral or protein contents and seed viability. More importantly, our analyses revealed key correlations between seed quality-related traits in some cultivars, including those that relate yield and antioxidants or yield and the germination rate. These results highlight the importance of considering the genotypic variation in quinoa when selecting improved quinoa varieties with the best nutritional characteristics for new cultivation environments.

 The objective of the present study was to describe the morphological characteristics that allow the differentiation of cultivars and to evaluate the agronomic characteristics that can determine the yield of Chenopodium quinoa cultivated in the southern part of Rio Grande do Sul. Quinoa is a pseudocereal that it is originally from the Andes region; it is consumed throughout the world due to its nutritional characteristics. Its introduction and production in Brazil are recent, so studies that make possible the increase of growing are of great importance. We evaluated the stem, leaf and inflorescence characteristics, number of seeds per branch, number of branches and mass of one thousand seeds, thus obtaining the agronomic characteristics. We calculated the yield of the cultivars using the adjusted formula for estimated yield. It was observed that the characteristics of the leaf could be used to differentiate the cultivars. It is possible to calculate the yield of the crop using the adjusted formula for estimated yield.

<p class="Normal1">The food industry has sought to adapt to the trend of healthy consumption habits and, for this, it has invested in the research and production of products with functional purposes, since functional foods have proven to bring several health benefits. Therefore, it was proposed, with this research, the elaboration of a functional bar, rich in functional and protein ingredients, taking into account the nutritional content and its practicality of consumption. For this, varied proportions of quinoa (10%, 17% and 15%, for F1, F2 and F3, respectively) and peanuts (20%, 15% and 17%, for F1, F2 and F3, respectively), were used, and the functional bars were enriched with fructooligosaccharide (FOS), with a ratio between dry ingredients and binding agents of 70% and 30%, respectively. The design of the binary mixture was used for the various compositions of formulations. Analysis of variance (ANOVA) was applied to evaluate the physical-chemical composition and its average in relation to the Tukey test at 5% confidence. The three formulations were considered to have a high protein content (21.54%, for F1; 18.17%, for F2; 20.00%, for F3), according to legislation, with a high lipid content (22.02%, for F1; 13.42%, for F2; 22.40%, for F3), coming from good sources, and considerable carbohydrate content (49.62%, for F1; 54.44%, for F2; 47.84% , for F3), including fibers. The proposed functional bar proved to be balanced in nutrients and calories, presenting nutritional characteristics compatible with a diet rich in proteins.</p>
