Due to increasing consumer demand for healthy foods, attempts are being made to improve their nutritional value. Thus, there is a necessity to develop food bars enriched with dietary fiber and palatable nutritional components. The aim of this study was to evaluate the shelf life of food bars, prepared with different proportions of marolo pulp flour (20, 30, 40, and 50% replacement of oatmeal) for six-month storage, through nutritional and physical analysis, as well as sensory acceptance. The total dietary fiber content showed an average of 7.1 g·100 g−1. There was a significant increase in antioxidant activity, vitamin C, and total carotenoids content according to increasing concentration of marolo pulp flour in the food bars. In sensory evaluation, the food bar with addition of 50% marolo pulp flour showed higher averages for all evaluated attributes and was the favorite by the evaluators.

The flour from the pulp of marolo (Annona crassiflora Mart.) is an important source of fiber, however, its use as a food ingredient requires investigation as to its functionality. Thus, this work aimed to evaluate the physical, chemical, nutritional and technological functional properties of the flour obtained from the pulp of marolo, thus verifying its potential application in food products. The analyzes performed on the flour were proximal composition, mineral composition, vitamin C content, total carotenoids, beta-carotene, antioxidant activity and technological functional properties. The flour presented considerable amounts of fibers, especially the insoluble fraction, being 25.47 g.100g-1, 8.57 g.100g-1 for soluble dietary fiber and 34.04 g.100g-1 for total dietary fiber. . The levels of vitamin C and total carotenoids, observed in the flour of the pulp of marolo, were 173.77 mg.100g-1, 0.56 mg.100g-1 and 0.08 mg.100g-1, respectively. The minerals that showed the highest concentration in the pulp flour were phosphorus (1768.53 mg.kg-1) and calcium (1512.73 mg.kg-1). The antioxidant activity was more effective when performed in aqueous extraction. The flour has shown to have important technological functional properties, such as solubility in water and the ability to form emulsion. Therefore, marolo pulp flour has the potential to be commercialized and used in food products in order to improve and enrich its nutritional and technological qualities.

AbstractDried fruits are an excellent alternative to unhealthy snacks. Twelve commercially available dried fruits were selected: dates, raisins, prunes, Goji berry, chokeberry, rose hip, sea buckthorn, berberis, physalis, haritaki, noni and juniper. The nutritional value in terms of moisture, ash, protein, fat, carbohydrate, dietary fiber, energy value, mineral composition, antioxidant activity and tannins was compared. It is a novelty in the literature in relation to the particular analytes (e.g., minerals, tannins) and/or fruits (e.g., berberis, noni, haritaki). Especially rich in protein were Goji berry (13.3%), sea buckthorn (9.3%), noni (8.9%) and physalis (8.0%); in fat − sea buckthorn (11.2%); in dietary fiber (4.4–53.0%) − most of analyzed products. High antioxidant capacity was noticed for haritaki, berberis, rose hip, Goji berry, and physalis. An important source of minerals was 100 g of: noni (345 mg of Ca; 251 mg of Mg), rose hip (844 mg of Ca; 207 mg of Mg), juniper (564 mg of Ca), sea buckthorn (58 mg of Fe), berberis (24 mg of Fe) and haritaki (14 mg of Fe). The nutritionally attractive dried fruits have the potential for wider application in food formulations.

The potential of wheat bran (WB) addition as a prebiotic source were demonstrated using yogurt with probiotics (Lactobacillus acidophilus and Bifidobacterium lactis). Yogurts (with 4% WB) were significantly (P < 0.05) different in total bacterial counts (9.1 log CFU/mL), and total titratable acidity % (TTA, 1.4%) compared to controls during 28 days cold storage (4°C). Additionally, WB-total dietary fiber contents and their bound phenolic profiles were investigated as well as the antioxidant activity of WB-water extractable polysaccharides (WEP) was studied. HPLC analysis of alkaline hydrolyzed DF fractions showed that insoluble DF had higher phenolic acids (84.2%) content than soluble DF (15.8%). Also, crude-WEP showed stronger antioxidant activity compared to purified-WEP with an ORAC of 71.88 and 52.48 µmol TE/g, respectively. Here we demonstrate WB has potentials as a source of prebiotics, which may have the potentials for functional foods and nutraceutical applications.

One form of common wheat with yellow coloured grain, two forms of emmer wheat, and two forms of barley with hulless grain were used for the preparation of bread with enhanced nutritional quality. The following mill products were prepared from the cereal grains: wholemeal flour, break flour, barley grits, and break bran. The contents of thiamin, niacin, pyridoxine, total polyphenols, and total dietary fiber were studied in these raw materials and bread samples. Further, in the bread samples, the antioxidant activity was assessed and sensory evaluation was performed. As a result, the utilisation of the non-traditional forms of cereals improved nutrient contents of bread while maintaining very good sensory characterising and processing quality.

Abstract Grape pomace is a rich source of dietary fibers and phenolic compounds; it has been added to bakery products to enhance their dietary fiber content and antioxidant activity. Nevertheless, the Insoluble Dietary Fiber (IDF) content of grape pomace is significantly higher than the Soluble Dietary Fiber (SDF) content, the IDF/SDF ratio of bakery products was much higher than the recommended value of 3:1 from the dietetic associations. In this research, grape pomace was treated with cellulase preparation to partially convert IDF to SDF. The appropriate conditions of the cellulolytic treatment were as follows: initial moisture content of grape pomace of 7.5 g water/g dry basis, cellulase concentration of 6 U/g dry basis and treatment time of 1 h. Under these conditions, the SDF content increased by 20% and the IDF/SDF ratio decreased by 23.2%. Then, the enzyme-treated grape pomace (ETGP) and untreated grape pomace (UGPM) were separately mixed with wheat flour for cookie formulation; the grape pomace ratio was 20% of the composite flour weight. The use of ETGP or UTGP significantly improved the content of total, insoluble and soluble dietary fiber, total phenolics, anthocyanin of cookies as well as their antioxidant activity measured by DPPH and FRAP assays. Cookies supplemented with ETGP or UTGP had increased hardness and reduced brightness. The enzymatic treatment of grape pomace did not affect the total dietary fiber and antioxidant activity of cookies; however, their IDF/SDF ratio decreased to 12% and the value of 3.7 was close to the recommended ratio from the dietetic associations. Furthermore, the preference scores of ETGP added cookies and UTGP added cookies were higher than that of the control cookies without grape pomace addition.
