Fish 'sawdust' is powdered muscle produced by sawing blocks of frozen fish. It is an underuti lized material with very poor functional properties, and is difficult to use in reconstituted prod ucts without the addition of ingredients to enhance these properties. In order to enhance the gel-forming capacity of sawdust from hake muscle (Merluccius australis), different ingredients were added: (1) a formula (designated ACC formula) composed of starch, i-carrageenan and dried egg white (at a proportion of 5, 5 and 3% respectively of the dough), (2) surimi from the same species as sawdust, and (3) sodium ascorbate (100-1500 ppm). The results suggest that fish sawdust with either ACC formula or a high proportion of surimi could be used to produce gels (folding test score 5) highly suitable for restructuring fish products, with good water holding ability (more than 93%) but poor gel strength (13 N·mm). If the proportion of surimi exceeded 75% (with respect to total muscle) and the formula contained sodium ascorbate (750 ppm), gel strength was much greater (more than 40 N·mm).

The aim of the present work was to investigate the physicochemical, biochemical and functional characteristics of both the myofibrils (MF) and actomyosin (AM) of squid mantle (Illex argentinus) and weakfish (Cynoscion guatucupa) muscles, and evaluate the influence of the addition of myofibrilar proteins from the squid mantle on the physicochemical and functional properties of those of the weakfish. After extraction, purification and characterization of the MF and AM of both species, emulsions of each protein fraction from each muscle were formulated. Mixtures of the MF or AM of both species were also analyzed. The emulsifying properties were monitoring using the Emulsifying Activity Index (EAI) and Emulsion Stability (ES). In addition, gel pastes were formulated from the squid mantle, weakfish muscle and the mixture of both species, and the following functional properties of the gels assessed: water holding capacity, colour, textural profile analysis (TPA) (hardness, elasticity, cohesiveness, gumminess) and gel strength. The EAI values of emulsions formulated with the MF of the mantle were significantly (p<0.05) higher than those formulated from those of weakfish. The incorporation of squid MF in the mixture increased the EAI values. Conversely, the highest ES values were obtained with weakfish MF, and the incorporation of MF weakfish in the mixture increased the ES values. Similar EAI and ES behaviours were observed for the AM of the corresponding species. Irrespective of the thermal treatment, the gel strength of the gelled paste of squid muscle was significantly (p<0.05) lower than that of weakfish muscle and of those obtained with the different mixtures. The behaviours of the expressible moisture (EM) from the gelled pastes were similar to those of gel strength. Irrespective of the thermal treatment, the pastes formulated with a high weakfish: mantle ratio showed less water loss. The gelled pastes of squid mantle showed the highest values for whiteness (WI) and the incorporation of squid muscle protein improved the WI of the mixtures.

The economic value of many proteins as food ingredients lies in their functional properties. Those having abilities such as foaming, emulsifying and water-holding are often supplied as dried powders [for example, egg white (albumin) and milk whey proteins]. The drying process, however, can have a great effect on such functional properties through denaturation of the protein. This paper will address some of the issues affecting functionality for spray-dried whey proteins, previ ously concentrated by ultrafiltration. The limiting factor is the outlet air temperature, which should be low enough to prevent denaturation, as the powder experiences a combination of the highest temperature and the lowest moisture content at that stage in the drying process.

The effects of 0-5% levels of beef plasma, egg white and potato extract as protease inhibitors of jack mackerel surimi (Trachurus murphyi) and their effects on functional properties were studied. Gel quality was evaluated measuring gel strength, deformation, rupture force, water holding capacity, color and sensory evaluation. Maximum proteolytic activity was found at 65 °C after 60 min where the gel quality was markedly deteriorated. At a level of 1% beef plasma, egg white or potato extract, pro tease inhibition of 91.9%, 82.7% and 74.4 %, respectively, was found. Beef plasma at 1% was the most effective protease inhibitor and was the most acceptable for the judges, but produced a gel with a yellow hue. SDS-electrophoresis verified the action of inhibitors in preventing degradation of high molecular weight proteins which form the gel network.

Gelling properties stability of the Maillard-type and dry-heating egg white proteins (MEW and DEW) were investigated. MEW were prepared by storing sugar-preserved egg white proteins and glucose at 60 °C and 79% relative humidity for 2 days, and DEW were prepared by storing at 80°C in dry state (7.5% moisture content) for 7 days. The results showed that both MEW and DEW have excellent gelling properties. After storage at room temperature for 180 days, gel hardness, spring and cohesiveness of MEW increased by 1.92%, 1.89% and 4.24% respectively, water holding capacity of MEW gel decreased by 1.42%, while storage time had a considerable effect on those of DEW gels. A tight and more uniform network with constant stability in the course of storage was observed in the gel of MEW (500×), while gaps in EWP gel network were larger and the gel texture became looser with storage time. The results demonstrated that gelling properties stability of MEW is better than DEW.

Banana pseudo-stem (BPS), which is rich in fibre and polyphenols, is a potential functional ingredient for the food industry. In this study, BPS was added at concentrations of 1.5, 3.0, and 4.5 g/kg to a minced pork batter to evaluate its performance as a filler and to pork burger patties to evaluate its performance as a natural antioxidant. The effects of BPS were compared with those of carrageenan and ascorbate, which are a conventional binder and antioxidant, respectively. The performance of BPS was similar to that of carrageenan in terms of the cooking yield and texture of the cooked batter. BPS reduced the brightness of fresh patties and appeared to reduce oxidative discolouration during the frozen storage of raw patties. Moreover, BPS reduced the levels of thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS) during the refrigerated and frozen storage of cooked patties. A greater decrease in TBARS formation was observed with 4.5 g BPS/kg compared with 0.5 g sodium ascorbate/kg during refrigerated storage. In contrast to ascorbate, BPS promoted the presence of lipid-derived volatile compounds induced by thermal breakdown in the headspace of cooked patties. Nonetheless, this effect was reduced as the amount of BPS in the patties increased. In cooked minced meat products, BPS could increase cooking yields and lipid oxidative stability during storage and might result in a more intense flavour.

<p>Functional properties such as protein solubility, swelling capacity, water holding capacity, gelling ability, bulk density and foaming capacity of flours of some commonly used cereals and legume (wheat, refined wheat, maize and chickpea) and their blends were studied. Blends of flours were prepared by mixing equal proportions of selected floors. Statistically significant difference  in studied functional properties except bulk density was observed among cereal flours and their blends. Chickpea flour was found to possess comparatively high water holding capacity, protein solubility index and swelling capacity. The functional properties of maize and wheat flours were found to be improved when blended with chickpea. Chickpea flour and its blends with cereal flours were found to possess good functional score and suggested as favorable candidates for use in the preparation of viscous foods and bakery products. The data provide guidelines regarding the improvement in functional properties of economically favorable cereal flours.<strong></strong></p>

AbstractCamelina and flixweed (sophia) seed protein isolates were prepared using both the conventional extraction and ultrasonic-assisted extraction methods at 40 kHz for 20 min, and their functional properties investigated. SDS-PAGE showed that both ultrasound-assisted and conventional extractions resulted in a similar protein profile of the extract. The application of ultrasound significantly improved protein extraction/content and functional properties (water holding capacity, oil absorption capacity, emulsifying foaming properties, and protein solubility) of camelina protein isolate and sophia protein isolate. The water-holding and oil absorption capacities of sophia protein isolate were markedly higher than those of camelina protein isolate. These results suggest that camelina protein isolate and sophia protein isolate may serve as natural functional ingredients in the food industry. Graphical Abstract
