<p>Adlay (Coix lacryma-jobi L.) is a potential source of starch but has not been utilized optimally. Native adlay starch has several weaknesses such as functional properties of low swelling volume and solubility, prone to retrogradation, and low stability. Physical modification of ultrasonication and chemical modification by oxidation using ozone can be an alternative to improve the functional properties of adlay starch through the formation of porous starch. The aim of this research was to produce porous adlay starch by ultrasonication and ozonation. The study consisted of several different treatments on hanjeli starch (ozonation starch, ultrasonication of 15 minutes, ultrasonication of 30 minutes, combined ultrasonication of 15 minutes and 30 minutes with ozonation). The results showed the appearance of pores on the surface of the granules of modified adlay starch with the best results being modified combination of ultrasonication 30 minutes and ozonation, which resulted in a decrease in swelling volume from 18.13 ± 3.98 mL/g to 15.71 ± 0.35 mL/g, an increase in solubility from 6.76 ± 0.62% to 9.59 ± 0.44%, and a decrease in water absorption capacity from 1.25 ± 0.02 g/g to 1.13 ± 0.02 g/ g. Modification of adlay starch by ultrasonication, ozonation, and their combination effectively produced porous starch granules, but did not cause the formation of new functional groups in starch.</p>

Bambara nut (Vigna subterrenean) is a cheap source of leguminous protein that can be a good substitute for relatively expensive animal protein to reduce malnutrition. Despite its potentials, it remains underutilized owing in part to long cooking time, presence of antinutritional factors and drudgery in dehulling. In this regard, this study determined effects of fermentation on antinutritional and functional properties of bambara nut flour. Bambara nut was procured from local market in Abeokuta while pure culture of Rhizopus oligosporous was obtained at the Department of Food Science and Engineering, Ladoke Akintola University of Technology. Bambara nut was fermented for 12, 24, 36, 48, 60 and 72h at 32ºC and dried in oven (55ºC/24 h). The antinutritional (tannin, oxalate, phytate, and trypsin inhibitor) and functional properties (water-absorption-capacity, solubility and swelling power) of the composite flour were determined. The data obtained were subjected to descriptive and inferential statistics and significance established at P=.05. Respective range of values for tannin, oxalate, phytate and trypsin inhibitor were 0.08 - 0.32, 0.72 - 1.49, 0.15 - 3.64 and 0.42 - 3.25 mg/g, respectively. Water absorption capacity, solubility and swelling power ranged from 8.67 - 11.04, 52.59 - 53.07, 9.20 - 10.16 and 9.14 9.16%,  respectively. The fermentation process reduced the antinutritional factors and increased the protein content.

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.

Effect of cooking and germination on physiochemical and sensory attributes of African walnut were investigated. Result proved that the protein (14.90%) carbohydrates (15.39%) fat (45.84%) ash (3.5%) and fibre (1.17%) contents of the raw samples were increased by germination but subsequently decreased as germination progresses. Cooking was found to be more effective in reduction of antinutrients than germination thereby leading to enhanced bioavailability of most essential minerals (calcium, magnesium, sodium, phosphorus etc). Results also indicate significant (P<0.05) improvement on the functional properties (water absorption capacity, oil absorption capacity, ) of the raw sample by cooking and germination. Evaluation of sensory attributes showed that cooked walnut was most preferred to germinated and boiled walnut in terms of taste, after taste and general acceptability.

A comparative study was conducted to determine the effects of heat treatment and fermentation on the functional properties of African oil bean ( Pentaclethra macrophylla: Benth ) seeds. The objective was to determine the nutritional benefits inherent therein, and the possible utilization of this plant food source as a complement in food formulation and improvement. The bean seed was broken to obtain the cotyledon, locally processed by fermentation and heat treatment, after which it was milled to obtain flour from the African oil bean. The control group of day 0 was not subjected to fermentation, but heat - treated and all other experimental groups (Day 1 - 7) subjected to fermentation and heating. The following selected physio -chemical properties were analyzed for the African oil bean seeds: water absorption capacity, oil absorption capacity and bulk densities were determined; the emulsion capacity and whipping ability were also determined. The oil absorption capacity range d from 0.66 - 1.26 g/ml; water absorption capacity, 0.76 - 1.32 g/ml; emulsion capacity, 33.33 - 64.67 g/ml, emulsion stability after one hour, 6.00 - 63.33 g/ml, bulk density, 0.40 - 0.49 g/g and whipping ability, 0.00 - 0.93 g/ml. The processing methods adopted (fermentation and heating) to improve on the functional properties of the African oil bean seeds significantly affected (p<0.05) the bulk density, whipping ability, emulsion stability and Stability after one hour of experimental samples fermented and heat treated (Day 1 - 7) compared to the Day 0 sample that was only heated while there was , however , no statistical significance recorded for the oil absorption capacity and water absorption capacity in experimental Day 1 - 7 compared to the control (Day 0) . The treatment, demonstrated improved functional properties of the African Oil bean seeds; likely to enhance the palatability of formulated foods. The treatment did not show significant improvement on the oil absorption capacity and water absorption capacity of t he bean ; however, there was enhanced oil and water functionality.

Starches were isolated from cocoyam (Xanthosoma sagittifollium), white yam (Dioscorea rotundata) and bitter yam (Dioscorea dumentorum). Starch modification was carried out using acetic anhydride and phthalic anhydride. The native and modified starches were characterized using Fourier Transformed Infra-red Spectroscopy (FTIR) for identification of the functional groups. Functional properties such as water absorption capacities, oil absorption capacity, swelling power, solubility, gelation temperature, least gelation capacity, amylose content and pH were determined using standard procedures. Acetylation increased the water absorption capacity, oil absorption capacity, swelling power, amylose content, and solubility of the starches while phthalation decreased water absorption capacity, oil absorption capacity, swelling power, and solubility of the starches. Native cocoyam starch has the highest gelation temperature (85 °C) while Acetylated bitter yam has the lowest gelation temperature (74 °C). The pH of the native and modified starches was within the range of 4.14 − 6.55. Phthalation and acetylation increased the bulk density of the starches. Native cocoyam, white yam, and bitter yam starches had the lowest gelation concentration (6%). Modification of native starches will improve the usage of starch in food and non-food applications.

In this paper, we report the use of oxidized glutathione (GSSG) in promoting the association of bean seed proteins to starch granules purified from potato tubers. The resulting interaction was stable and only a small fraction of the bound proteins was released by washing with 5% glucose. Higher concentrations of glucose or other sugars (fructose, mannose and mannitol) failed to further increase protein release. Dithiothreitol (DTT) at concentrations up to 50 mM did not liberate the proteins associated to starch; however, applied after GSSG but before adding the proteins, it was very effective in preventing binding of proteins to starch. Lastly, starch modified by the bound proteins increased its water absorption capacity.

Objective: This study aims to determine the influence of the contents of compounds and particle size on the functional properties of leaves powders of M. oleifera. Methodology: The leaves were collected from three farms in the localities of Mbouda and Maroua and processed in powders. The proximate composition, some functional properties such as particle size, true Water Absorption Capacity (WACt), apparent Water Absorption Capacity (WACa), Water Solubility Index (WSI), Oil Holding Capacity (OHC), and Bulk density were determined. Results: The mean contents of young and mature leaves powders are 24.96 ± 0.29 and 23.13 ± 0.50 g/100 DM in total proteins; 34.26 ± 0.52 and 29.11 ± 1.44 g/100g DM in available carbohydrate, 8.34 ± 0.64 and 8.34 ± 0.68 g/100g DM in total lipids, 8.75 ± 0.74 and 9.08 ± 0.48 g/100g DM in total ash, 21.13 ± 1.34 and 27.14 ± 1.04 g/100g DM in total fibers, respectively. The particle size of powders is majority large. The fiber's contents significantly affect the increase of rehydration properties and the OHC, while the large particle size, the density. Values of WACt and WACa are 27.02 ± 0.20 and 32.88 ± 1.24 % in young leaves and 28.98 ± 0.15 and 35.88 ± 1.02 % in mature leaves, respectively. The WSI and OHC are 3.02 ± 0.06 and 257 ± 1% in young leaves and 3.5 ± 0.04 and 261 ± 2 % in mature leaves, respectively. The Bulk density is 0.42 ± 0.01 g/ml in young leaves and 0.39 ± 0.01 in mature leaves. Conclusion: Functional properties of M. oleifera leave powders do not always depend on the contents of compounds and particle size distribution.
