Blends made of wheat flour and bean meal at various levels of moisture and bran content, were subjected to extrusion cooking by varying temperature and screw speed. Extrudates were analysed for expansion index, bulk density, apparent viscosity, water absorption index and water solubility index using a second-order rotatable central composite design. Excepting water absorption index, functional properties were significantly affected ( p<0.05) by levels of moisture, bran or extrusion conditions. Expansion index decreased with increasing levels of moisture in the blends; for bran the effect was the inverse. Response surface solution for apparent viscosity was maximum at 24% levels of moisture, 209r.p.m., 180°C and 10% bran. For water absorption index the response surface solution was a saddle point, with a minimum at 29% levels of moisture, 232r.p.m., 177°C and 25% bran. The higher apparent viscosity and lower absorption index reflected minor damage to starch and proteins, which was attributed to a protective role of the added fibre.

The purpose of this study is to determine the quality of chickpea and black gram flour used in preparation of traditional products. As the study of physical properties of flour, both chickpea as well as black gram flour shows higher in bulk density. Water absorption index show lower level of both chickpea as well as black gram flour and water solubility index shows both chickpea as well as black gram flour in between bulk density and water absorption index. While the functional properties of flour, water absorption capacity lower for chickpea flour but higher oil absorption capacity. Higher the water absorption capacity for black gram flour and lower the oil absorption capacity for black gram. This concluded that bulk density for both chickpea flour and black gram is highest while oil absorption capacity is lower in both chickpea flour and black gram flours.

Modification of Canna starch through heat-moisture treatment (HMT) and gum xanthan (GX) treatment was conducted to improve the disadvantage of natural Canna starch in order to expand its usage in food industry, especially for bakery products. The research was arranged in a factorial randomized complete block design with three factors (temperature, incubation time, and GX concentrations) and three replications for each factor.  The modified Canna  starch by HMT possessed water content of 15 % as well as combination of temperature (80 °C and 100 °C), periods (8 and 16 hours) and concentration of GX (0; 0.5; 1; 1.5 and 2 %). The observed variables were the swelling power, water solubility index, water absorption index, baking expantion, and bulk density of modified Canna starch. The result showed that the modification of Canna starch by temperature, time of HMT and concentration GX produced modified starch with physical properties that significantly differ among treatments and natural starch.  Modified Canna starch by treatments of 80 °C, 8 hours, and 1 % xanthan gum concentration showed had swelling power 16.90 ± 0.48 g/g, water solubility index 10.28 ± 0.25 %, water absorption index 112.58 ± 0.38 %, baking expantion 0.94 ± 0.11 mL/g and bulk density 0.73 ± 0.026 g/mL which alike with wheat flour so that it can be further developed as wheat flour substitute on bakery products. ABSTRAKPenelitian modifikasi pati ganyong melalui perlakuan heat-moisture-treatment (HMT) dan penambahan gum xanthan (GX) dilakukan untuk memperbaiki kelemahan pati ganyong alami sehingga menjadi luas aplikasinya dalam industri pangan terutama produk rerotian.  Penelitian menggunakan rancangan acak kelompok faktorial dengan 3 perlakukan dan 3 ulangan.  Perlakuan yang diberikan adalah waktu (8 dan 16 jam), suhu (80 °C dan 100 °C), kadar air 15 % dan konsentrasi gum xanthan (0, 0,5; 1; 1,5; 2 %).  Data dianalisis dengan sidik ragam (ANOVA) pada α = 0,05, dilanjutkan dengan uji BNJ (α = 0,05). Parameter yang diamati swelling power (SP), indeks kelarutan dalam air (IKA), indeks absobsi air (IAA), derajat pengembangan (DP), dan densitas kamba (DK) pati ganyong termodifikasi. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa modifikasi pati ganyong dengan kombinasi perlakuan suhu dan waktu HMT serta konsentrasi GX menghasilkan pati termodifikasi dengan sifat fisik yang berbeda nyata antar perlakuan maupun pati alaminya.  Modifikasi pati ganyong dengan HMT pada suhu 80 °C, waktu 8 jam, kadar air pati 15 % dan konsentrasi gum xanthan 1 % dapat menghasilkan pati ganyong yang sifat fisiknya mendekati tepung terigu kadar protein sedang dan berbeda dengan pati ganyong alami.

In recent years, the demand for snacks with optimal functional and nutritional properties has a dramatic increased; hence researching in this regard is considered as an essential task. Almond, is one of the nuts kernel and an important source of nutrients, especially fats, fiber, antioxidants, vitamins and minerals such as iron and calcium. Using this seeds nut in expanded products not only improves the nutritional properties but also it causes to produce a product with optimal functional features. As the screw rate and humidity level have a great effect on the properties of extruded products. In this study, defatted almond flour –corn flour blends (20 - 80) were extruded in a co-rotating twin-screw extruder. Response surface methodology using a central composite design was used to evaluate the effects of independent variables, namely screw rate (120–220 rpm) and humidity level (12–16%) on functional properties (water absorption index, water solubility index and oil absorption index). Based on the process optimization maximum water absorption is 6.54085, water solubility is 25.6472 and oil absorption is 3.09778 that was belong to the production of screw rate 209.17 rpm and the 14% humidity.

Flours with different physicochemical and functional properties were obtained from malted corn. Response surface methodology (RSM) was used to study the effects of malting time (1,3, 5 days), malting temperature (20, 25, 30º C) and gibberelic acid concentration (0.0; 0.5; 1.0 %) on these properties. The chemical composition and paste viscosity of flours were significantly affected by malting time and temperature, while water solubility index (WSI) and water absorption index (WAI) varied only with malting time. Gibberelic acid did not significantly influenced any of the studied properties. Germination at 20-25ºC for 3 days was recomended to obtain corn flour with high WAI, low viscosity and medium WSI, without excessive loss of proteins.

Consumer preferences in east Asian part of the world pave the way for consumption of lotus stem starch (LSS) in preparations such as breakfast meals, fast foods, and traditional confectioneries. The present study envisaged the investigation and optimization of additives, that is, acacia gum, sodium chloride (NaCl), and sucrose, on water absorption (WA), water absorption index (WAI), and water solubility index (WSI) of LSS employing response surface methodology (RSM). Acacia gum resulted in increased water uptake and swelling of starch; however, NaCl reduced the swelling power of starch by making water unavailable to starch and also due to starch-ion electrostatic interaction. Sucrose restricted the water absorption by binding free water and decreased amylose leaching by building bridges with starch chains and thus forming rigid structure.

Dehydrated carrot pomace was added in different proportions (10-30%) to rice flour. The formulation was extruded at different moisture content (17-21%), screw speed (270-310 rpm) and die temperature (110-130°C). The experimental combinations were decided based on central composite rotatable design for four variables at five levels of each variable. The lateral expansion, bulk density, water absorption index, water solubility index, hardness and sensory characteristics were measured as responses. Significant regression models were established with the coefficient of determination, R² greater than 0.70. The results indicated that pomace proportion, screw speed and temperature significantly influenced (P<0.10) lateral expansion; moisture content and screw speed for bulk density; pomace proportion and temperature for water absorption index and water solubility index, pomace proportion, screw speed and temperature for hardness and screw speed for sensory score. The compromised optimum condition obtained by numerical integration for development of extrudates were: carrot pomace of 11.75% in rice flour, moisture content 19.92%, screw speed 249.1 rpm and die temperature 114.3°C. Sensory evaluation revealed that carrot pomace could be incorporated into ready-to-eat expanded products upto the level of 11.75%.

Central composite rotatable design for k = 3 was used to study the combined effect of feed moisture (12-44%), cowpea concentration (0-20%) and groundnut concentration (0-10%) on the physical and functional properties of extruded sorghum-legume blends in a single screw extruder using response surface methodology. Product expansion ratio, bulk density, total colour change, water absorption capacities at 27°C and 90°C and swelling capacities were determined on the products using standard analytical methods. Expansion ratio, bulk density and total colour of extrudates from the sorghum-legume blends decreased with increasing feed moisture. Increasing the concentration of legumes in the product increased the water absorption capacities at 27°C and 70°C and increased swelling capacities due to the gel forming ability of the macromolecules (proteins and starch) in the products and availability of hydrophilic groups to bind water molecules, thus enhancing the functional properties of the blends. Models developed for the indices gave R2-values ranging from 61.6% (for water absorption capacity at 27°C) to 89.9% (for bulk density) with insignificant lack of fits indicating the adequacy of the model in explaining the data. The optimal conditions noted for producing the puffed extruded snack products with better physical properties and functional characteristics from sorghum-groundnut-cowpea blends were at 16-18% feed moisture, 14-16% cowpea and 6-8% groundnut additions.

Extrusion of corn semolina milled with cocoa shells using a single screw extruder “BRABENDER 20 DN” was carried out. Full factorial experimental 22 was used to investigate the effects of the quantity of cocoa shells and moisture of the material on the water absorption index (WAI) and water solubility index (WSI). Working screw speed and feed screw speed were fixed at 200 and 40 rpm, respectively. Compression ratio of the screw was fixed at 4:1. Temperatures of the first, second and third zone were 150, 155 and 160 °C. Water absorption index values range were between 6.71 and 7.6 g/g and the water solubility index between 25.38 and 35.33 %. The increase in moisture content and quantity of cocoa shells leads to an increase in water absorption index and a decrease in water solubility index. Practical applications: Cocoa shells in an amount of up to 10% can be used in the production of extrudates by mixing with corn semolina. Water absorption index values range between 6.71 and 7.6 g/g and the water solubility index between 25.38 and 35.33 %. The resulting regression models can be used to optimize the process. In general, results show that cocoa shells can be mixed with corn semolina for the production of extrudates, which allows us to recommend extrusion processing of cocoa shells as an alternative technology in utilization processing of raw cocoa materials.

Malnutrition is still a major problem in Indonesia, particularly stunting and acute malnutrition due to protein deficiency. In contrast, Indonesia is rich in protein sources such as fish but they are poorly utilized. Biologically processed fish protein hydrolysate (FPH) has proven to be highly nutritious and digestible. Our preliminary study in developing the High Protein Complementary Food (HPCF) formula for infant enriched with FPH, showed that of 17 formulas, 3 formulas was the best. This study was aimed to analyzing sensory analysis using the hedonic test, physical analysis and absorption protein. The result shows that the hedonic test of FPH-enriched HPCF infant food revealed that the product was acceptable in term of colour, aroma and texture. In comparison to the commercial product, FPH-enriched instant HPCF infant product had higher bulk density. The highest Water Absorption Index (WAI) was F1-C, the highest Water Solubility Index (WSI) was F1-P, and the lowest rehydration was F2-P. Compared to commercial products, the instant FPH-enriched HPCF baby porridge has a bulk density that is greater than that of commercial products. The highest Water Absorption Index (WAI) was F1-C, the highest Water Solubility Index (WSI) was F1-P and the lowest time for Rehydration was at F2-P. HPCF enriched with FPH showed the best protein absorption significantly in the P2 treatment group

All kinds of flour products which are made of wheat flour have already become the staple food on people's dining table. With the improvement of living standard, the quality requirements for the flour products have gradually improved. In addition to the production technique, the quality of wheat flour as the raw material is also very important for the quality of flour products. This paper briefly introduced wheat flour and two main components that affected its quality: starch and protein. Then, the related quality of starch and protein and the quality of corresponding flour products were tested for five kinds of wheat flour. The experimental results showed that the quality indexes of five kinds of wheat flour were obviously different and representative. The regression analysis on the quality data of wheat flour and flour products showed that the water absorption of flour decreased with the increase of total starch content, dry gluten content and gluten index, the water solubility of flour decreased with the increase of total starch content and gluten index and increased with the increase of ratio of amylose to amylopectin, and the radial expansion rate of the flour products decreased with the increase of wet gluten content. To sum up, the quality of wheat flour will affect the water absorption, water solubility and radial expansion rate of flour products in the production process.
