Abstract The poor retention of fermentation gases and air is a critical issue for gluten-free (GF) products. To better understand the effect of potato flour on the characteristics of GF bread, the mechanistic relations between potato starch and potato protein in different ratios at 9:1, 8:2, 7:3, 6:4 and 5:5 for GF dough were investigated for viscoelasticity, thermal properties, moisture, microstructures, and bread quality. The results reveal that potato starch had a relatively important role in both dough and bread. The viscous character of dough was highest at a proportion of 6:4, with a more compact microstructure and better bread color, volume, hardness, chewiness, resilience and springiness. With decreasing starch content, the gelatinization and retrogradation enthalpy decreased, and the relaxation time of immobilized water and free water increased significantly. These results are believed to be helpful for processors to develop and optimize GF breads with potato starch and potato protein.

Abstract: The objective of this work was to develop gluten-free cookies and savory fried pies using tannin-rich sorghum (Sorghum bicolor) flour, to evaluate their in vitro starch digestibility, and to verify how knowledge of sorghum benefits may contribute to the sensory acceptability of both products. The contents of rapidly digestible starch, slowly digestible starch, and resistant starch were determined. Sensory acceptance was evaluated in two sessions: one without information on sorghum benefits to human health; and another where this information was presented. The resistant starch and slowly digestible starch contents of the cookies (5.07 and 16.22%, respectively) were about twice those of the savory fried pies (2.54 and 8.89%, respectively), whereas the opposite was observed for the rapidly digestible starch contents (9.89 and 19.65%, respectively). The cookies and savory fried pies were sensorially accepted, with a significant increase in the means of the sensory scores after the information on sorghum benefits was disclosed. Therefore, gluten-free cookies and savory fried pies prepared with tannin sorghum flour have a great commercial potential, shown by the good sensory acceptance and by the slowly digestible starch and resistant starch contents of these products.

Pseudocereals and cereals are plant materials that have similar final uses as flours for bakery products. However, these plants are different botanically, as pseudocereals they are broadleaf plants, whereas as cereals they are grasses. The use of pseudocereals is of great nutritional interest because of their composition. Besides the high starch content, pseudocereals contain dietary fibre, good quality protein, vitamins, minerals, lipids rich in unsaturated fatty acids and other phytochemicals such as saponins, phytosterols, squalene, fagopyritols and polyphenols. This composition describes their potential as supplements or common cereal replacers. Because their content of gluten is low or there is no content of gluten, pseudocereals can be considered as gluten-free products, which can be incorporated in diets for coeliac disease. The incorporation of these seeds in the diets of coeliac patients should help alleviate the deficit in fibre intake. Their applicability in foods includes bread, biscuits, cakes and pasta which are mostly consumed. The three main species referring to pseudocereals are amaranth, quinoa and buckwheat. The aim of this study is to provide their applications in food products.

Gluten-free pasta production with a low glycaemic index and improved nutritional profile is still a challenge for the food industry. In this study, pasta was produced from fenugreek (FF), chickpea (CPF) and tiger nut (TNF) flours. CPF and FF are interesting for a balanced contribution of soluble and insoluble fibre by combining the health benefits of each type of fibre that promotes health. TNF, also rich in insoluble fibre, can provide additional healthy properties. The partial substitution of TNF for FF (0, 2.5, 5, 7.5 and 10% w/w solids) was assessed, and the relation linking chemical composition, structure, cooking and rheological properties and predictive in-vitro starch digestion (eGI, expected glycaemic index) was analysed. The results revealed that FF, rich in galactomannans, not only improves the nutritional profile and lowers the eGI but also helps to naturally enhance the structure of the pasta product and, thus, cooking behaviour (higher swelling index and fewer cooking losses).

A comparative analysis of quinoa, sorghum, millet and rice flours and breads in terms of proximate composition, resistant starch, antioxidant activity and total phenolic content was realized in this study. Quinoa whole flour had the highest content of proteins, fat, ash and total dietary fiber, followed by millet and sorghum flours. Quinoa and rice breads had higher specific volume (192.22 and 181.04 cm3/100 g, respectively) and lower crumb firmness (10.81 and 13.74 N, respectively) compared to sorghum and millet breads. The highest total phenol content was obtained in the case of bread prepared with quinoa flour (398.42 mg ferulic acid equiv/100 g d.w.), while the lowest content was obtained for the rice flour bread (70.34 mg ferulic acid equiv/100 g d.w). The antioxidant activity of gluten-free breads decreased in the following order: sorghum > quinoa > millet > rice. Quinoa bread had the highest resistant starch content of 3.28% d.w., while the rice bread had the highest digestible starch content of 81.48% d.w. The slowly digestible starch varied from 15.5% d.w. for quinoa bread, to 6.51% d.w. for millet bread. These results revealed the huge potential of quinoa, sorghum and millet to be used for developing functional gluten-free bread.

This study characterized and compared 13 gluten-free (GF) flours (rice, brown rice, maize, oat, millet, teff, amaranth, buckwheat, quinoa, chickpea, gram, tiger nut, and plantain) for their nutritional and functional properties. For all GF flours investigated, starch was the major component, except for gram, chickpea, and tiger nut flours with lower starch content (<45%), but higher fiber content (8.8–35.4%). The higher amount of calcium, magnesium, zinc, potassium, phosphorus, similar values for iron and lower content of sodium in gram, makes this flour a good alternative to chickpea or other GF flour to develop healthier food products. Amaranth flour had a high protein digestibility, while tiger nut and millet flours were less digestible. Gram, chickpea, quinoa, buckwheat, and oat flours fulfilled amino acids recommendation for daily adult intake showing no limiting amino acid. Total polyphenolic content and antioxidant capacity showed higher values for buckwheat, followed by quinoa and maize flours. Gram, chickpea, maize, and quinoa flours are good candidates to improve health conditions due to lower saturated fatty acid content. The findings of this study provide useful insights into GF flours and may contribute to the development of novel gluten-free products like bread, cookies, or pasta.
