Utilization of whey for the preparation of new food products may be an alternative to minimize environmental problems and reduce the disposal of high nutritional value by-products. This study aimed to prepare chocolate milkshakes with chia by partially replacing milk with whey. Three milkshake formulations were developed: a control formulation (without whey), a formulation containing 36% milk and 24% whey, and a formulation containing 24% milk and 36% whey. Microbiological parameters, proximate composition, energy value, total solids, titratable acidity, pH, and water activity were evaluated after preparation. The data were subjected to Analysis of Variance in a Completely Randomized Design, and means were compared by Tukey’s test at the 5% significance level. Milkshakes were found to have good microbiological quality, with low counts of thermotolerant coliforms (determined at 45 °C) (< 3 MNP/g) and yeasts and filamentous fungi (< 10 CFU/g). That replacement of milk by whey resulted in a reduction in ash, lipid and energy values and an increase in carbohydrate values. One portion of the developed milkshakes was estimated to provide between 72.12 and 84.52 Kcal. There were no significant differences in titratable acidity, total solids, or water activity between formulations. It is inferred that chocolate milkshakes with chia prepared with partial replacement of milk by whey are a feasible and innovative alternative to minimize environmental impacts. Complementary studies are recommended on storage stability and sensory quality. Keywords: Functional foods. Ice-cold foods. Agro-industrial wastes.   Aproveitamento do soro de leite na elaboração de milkshakes de chocolate com chia (Salvia hispanica L.) Resumo O aproveitamento do soro de leite na elaboração de novos produtos pode ser uma alternativa para minimizar problemas ambientais e o desperdício de subprodutos de alto valor nutricional. Assim, objetivou-se elaborar milkshakes de chocolate com chia, substituindo parcialmente o leite por soro de leite. Foram elaboradas três formulações de milkshakes: sem adição de soro – controle, com 36% de leite/24% de soro e 24% de leite/36% de soro. A qualidade microbiológica, composição proximal e análises físico-químicas quanto aos parâmetros valor calórico, extrato seco, acidez total, pH e atividade de água foram avaliados, após o processamento. Os dados obtidos foram analisados através de Análise de Variância, em Delineamento Inteiramente Casualizado, comparando-se as médias pelo teste de Tukey a nível de 5% de significância. Verificou-se boa qualidade microbiológica, com baixas contagens para coliformes a 45 °C (< 3 NMP/g) e fungos filamentosos e leveduriformes (< 10 UFC/g). A inclusão de soro de leite provocou redução nos teores de cinzas, lipídeos e valores calóricos, bem como aumento nos teores de carboidratos. O consumo dos milkshakes indicou que as porções fornecem de 72,12 a 84,52 Kcal. Não houveram diferenças significativas entre os milkshakes para os parâmetros acidez total, extrato seco e atividade de água. Infere-se que a elaboração de milkshakes de chocolate com chia, substituindo parcialmente o leite por soro de leite, pode ser viável e uma alternativa inovadora para minimizar impactos ambientais, sendo recomendadas análises complementares sobre a estabilidade de armazenamento e a qualidade sensorial.

A greenhouse pot experiment was conducted in Western Greece in order to evaluate the effect of different nitrogen rates on the development of the root system and productivity of chia (Salvia hispanica L.) plant. The experiment followed a completely randomized design (CRD), with six treatments, different rates of applied nitrogen (0, 25, 50, 75, 100 and 125 kg ha-1 equivalent to 0, 134, 268, 402, 536 and 670 mg nitrogen pot-1). The results of this study showed that root length density (RLD) and root mass density (RMD) increased with the increased rate of applied nitrogen and the highest values (1.297 cm cm-3 and 1.178 mg cm-3, respectively) were found after the application of 670 mg nitrogen pot-1 at 100 days after sowing (DAS). Plant height (106.06 cm) and leaf area per plant (883.14 cm2) were significantly affected by the highest rate of nitrogen. Additionally, dry matter and seed yield per plant were clearly affected by fertilization, with the highest values (27.57 g and 4.20 g, respectively) obtained in plants treated with 670 mg nitrogen pot-1. In conclusion, increasing the levels of applied nitrogen up to 670 mg N pot-1 improves root development and therefore the yields of chia.

Aim: The aim was to evaluate the chemical, physical, sensory and microbial qualities of fruit bars produced from blends of banana and cashew apple fruits and to investigate the applicability of cashew apple in fruit bar production. Study Design: The experimental design used was the complete randomized design (CRD) and the data obtained were analyzed using one – way analysis of variance (ANOVA). Place and duration of Study: The study took place at the Department of Food Science and Technology, University of Nigeria, Nsukka between January and July, 2016. Methodology: Fruit bar samples were prepared with blends of  ripe banana and cashew apple purees in the ratios of 90:10, 80:20, 70:30, 60:40, 50: 50% (Banana puree : Cashew apple puree). One hundred percent (100%) banana pulp based fruit bar served as the control. Formulated fruit bars contained 7% sugar, 5% date powder, 0.2% sodium metabisulphite and 0.5% citric acid in 1000 g of fruit purees and dried at 80oC for 8 hours. Fruit bar samples were analysed for sensory qualities, proximate composition, micronutrient compositions (vitamin C and potassium), physicochemical properties (pH, brix and titratable acidiy), and microbiological quality using standard methods. Results: There were significant (p<0.05) differences in the proximate composition, potassium, vitamin C and tannin content of samples. The carbohydrate, protein, crude fibre, ash and moisture contents ranged from 68.78 to 74.51%, 3.06 to 3.38%, 1.00 to 2.05%, 2.33 to 2.76% and 18.92 to 22.64% respectively. The fruit bars have high caloric energy values. The vitamin C content increased as the ratio of cashew apple increased. Potassium and tannin contents of the samples ranged from 125.50 to 220.00mg/100g and 52.04 to 84.23 mg/100g respectively. Titratable acidity, pH and brix of samples varied significantly (p < 0.05) and ranged from 0.23 to 0.37%, 4.00 to 4.65% and 7.10 to 11.85% respectively. The microbial results showed that total viable count found present in the fruit bar samples ranged from 4.0 x 102 to 1.3 x 103 while the mould count ranged from 2.0 x 101 to 7.0 x 101. The sensory scores showed that all samples were generally accepted while the sample with 20% of cashew apple was the most preferred. These results showed that underutilized fruits such as cashew apple can be utilized in this regard instead of being wasted.

Pear pulp and grapes juice were used in different ratios (100:0, 90:10, 80:20, 70:30, 60:40, 50:50) for the preparation of leather. The treatments were prepared with different concentration of pulp and constant level of sucrose and preservatives. The experiment was laid out in a complete randomized design (CRD). The effects of storage and treatments were studied for three months of storage with an interval of 15 days. Various parameters such as moisture, percent acidity, total soluble solids, water activity, ascorbic acid content, reducing sugar, non-reducing sugar and sensory attributes i.e. colour, taste, texture and overall acceptability were studied. Significant differences were observed in all the studied parameters. A decrease was recorded in moisture (16.02 to 13.76%), ascorbic acid content (13.21 to 6.64 mg/100g), non-reducing sugar (67.02 to 64.76%) and water activity (0.50 to 0.45), while an increase was recorded in titratable acidity (0.88 to 1.01%), TSS (76.68 to 79.05 °brix) and reducing sugar (11.43 to 11.85%). Base on organoleptic evaluation T3 was found most acceptable during storage. The combination of 70% pear pulp and 30% grapes juice for leather preparation proved to be the best combination in terms of extending the shelf life and improving the quality of pear and grapes blended leather during storage.

Chicken nuggets were reformulated by substituting the chicken skin with chia flour and partially substituting the NaCl with CaCl2. Four treatments were processed: Control – 1.5 g/100 g NaCl, without the addition of chia flour; CaCl2 – 75% substitution of NaCl by CaCl2; Chia – 50% replacement of chicken skin by chia flour; Chia+CaCl2 – 75% replacement of NaCl by CaCl2 and 50% substitution of chicken skin by chia flour. The protein content increased with the incorporation of chia flour. Treatments CaCl2 and Chia+CaCl2 presented reduced sodium content. Chicken nuggets containing chia flour showed an increase of α-linolenic acid and can be labelled as “high omega-3 content”. Formulations Chia and Chia+CaCl2 presented lower sensory acceptance among the four formulations, but about 50% of consumers still considered them acceptable. Thus, the Chia+CaCl2 formulation could be recommended to consumers seeking healthier meat products, due to its high omega-3 and reduced sodium content.

Chia (Salvia hispanica L.), is a traditional pre-Colombian food crop from Central America. Being considered the richest botanical source of omega-3 fatty acids, it has recently been rediscovered as a functional food and feed. A growing body of literature indicates that dietary chia seeds greatly improve animal products quality without compromising growth, productivity and organoleptic quality. Chia is mainly cultivated as a seed crop but recently interest has been raised on biomass production as a potential forage source opening alleys toward the integration of chia in crop-livestock systems. Literature on chia is flourishing, up to now reviews addressed botany, agronomy phytochemical and medicinal uses, this article reviews the main findings on chia use in animal nutrition and includes an overview on both seed and biomass yield and quality as affected by environment, agronomy, and genetic background. Chia is a short-day flowering crop, seed yields of commercial varieties can be as high as 2999 kg ha–1 in areas of origin while at European latitudes seed production is severely hampered by photoperiod sensitivity (max 518 kg ha–1). The viable growing of chia for seeds worldwide relies on the availability of genotypes flowering at longer days than in the areas of origin, while for whole plant a relatively high forage yield can be expected. In southern Italy commercial short-day flowering varieties yielded up to 2.07 t ha–1 of leaf dry biomass and in Greece chia yielded up to 15 T ha−1 dry biomass. Chia seeds supplement in livestock diet are administered with the main objective to increase the content of omega-3 and improve animal health. The majority of work has been done on poultry and rabbits where rewarding results have been obtained in terms of improvement of products lipids profile. Only one work was published on pig but the first results are encouraging. Published data on ruminants are few but in agreement with findings on other species these works demonstrate chia has no adverse effects health performances, and sizeable improvement of milk fatty acid profile. A qualitative improvement of freshwater cultivated fish fillets was also obtained with a partial replacement of soybean oil with chia. Finally an innovative study tested the effect of total or partial replacement of wheat bran in the diets of two edible insects that can be considered the new frontier of food and feed production chains.

The purpose of this study is to examine the effect of drying time in weight and water content, combination effect of drying time and size of the material, and consumer acceptance to the product in the wet processing of chili blocks production. Method used in the research is completely randomized design (CRD) with two factorials are material size and drying time. Data were analyzed using ANOVA and further analysis using DMRT at 5% significance level. Organoleptic test result was analyzed using the Kruskal-Wallis and Tukey test for further analysis. Application of the equal drying time to two different size of material: rough and finest block chili, showed the result that water content of the rough block chili is lower than the finest block chilli. Application of the different drying time duration to the same size of chili showed the lower water content with increasing duration of drying time. The water content of the material tends to decrease with increasing duration of drying time. The level of consumer’s preferences to the product of wet processing of chili blocks production is equal for scents, but it’s different for color, texture and overall preferences.
