Vegan eggs are designed with the aim to provide a healthier and more sustainable alternative to regular eggs. The major drivers of this industry are the increasing prevalence of egg allergies, awareness towards environmental sustainability, and the shift to vegan diets. This study intends to discuss, for the first time, the vegan egg market, including their formulation, nutritional aspects, and some applications (i.e., mayonnaise and bakery products). Recreating the complete functionality of eggs using plant-based ingredients is very challenging due to the complexity of eggs. Current, but scarce, research in this field is focused on making mixtures of plant-based ingredients to fit specific food formulations. Nutritionally, providing vegan eggs with similar or higher nutritional value to that of eggs can be of relevance to attract health-conscious consumers. Claims such as clean labels, natural, vegan, animal-free, gluten-free, and/or cholesterol-free can further boost the position of vegan eggs in the market in the coming year. At present, this market is still in its infancy stages, and clear regulations of labeling, safety, and risk assessment are deemed mandatory to organize the sector, and protect consumers.

Исследована возможность использования полуобезжиренной льняной муки (ПЛМ) для улучшения качества и повышения пищевой ценности безглютеновых хлебобулочных изделий. В процессе исследования выпекали хлеб из рисовой муки с добавлением 4, 6, 9 и 11% ПЛМ. Контролем служил хлеб без добавления льняной муки. После выпечки определяли физико-химические показатели качества образцов рисового хлеба с ПЛМ. Установлено, что с увеличением содержания ПЛМ влажность в образцах хлеба снизилась на 0,4–5,7%; кислотность мякиша увеличилась на 57–185,7%. Удельный объем и пористость опытных образцов хлеба с добавлением ПЛМ в количествах 4 и 6% увеличились по сравнению с контролем на 9,1–13,6% и 3,21–8,1% соответственно, однако при увеличении дозировки льняной муки свыше 6% эти показатели снизились на 4,5–14,1% и 1,6–6,5% соответственно. Количество клетчатки при добавлении 6% ПЛМ увеличилось до 1,8%; белка – до 2,9%. Энергетическая ценность хлеба из смеси рисовой муки и ПЛМ осталась на уровне энергетической ценности хлеба из рисовой муки. Рекомендовано применение ПЛМ при производстве безглютенового хлеба из рисовой муки. Определена дозировка ПЛМ – 6% в смеси с рисовой мукой. The possibility of using semi-fat-free linen flour (SFF LF) to improve the quality and nutritional value of gluten-free bakery products has been studied. During the study, bread was baked from rice flour with the addition of 4, 6, 9 and 11% SFF LF. The control served the bread without adding linen flour. After baking, the physicochemical parameters of the quality of rice bread samples with SFF LF were determined. It is established that with increase in the content of SFF LF moisture content in samples of bread was down 0,4 to 5,7%; the acidity of the crumb increased by 57–185,7%. The specific volume and porosity of bread samples with the addition of SFF LF in quantities of 4 and 6% increased compared to the control by 9,1–13,6% and 3,21–8,1%, respectively, but with an increase in the dosage of linen flour over 6%, these indicators decreased by 4,5–14,1% and 1,6–6,5%, respectively. The amount of fibre with the addition of 6% of SFF LF increased to 1,8%; protein – to 2,9%. The energy value of bread from a mixture of rice flour and SFF LF remained at the level of energy value of bread from rice flour. The use of SFF LF in the production of gluten-free bread from rice flour is recommended. The dosage of SFF LF – 6% in a mixture with rice flour was determined.

Introduction: Despite the constant efforts of scientists to improve the texture, sensory properties, and nutritional value of gluten-free bread, obtaining high bioavailability of minerals is still a huge challenge. Gluten-free bakery products are characterized by a low bioavailability of minerals. The aim of this study was to design gluten-free bread with high bioavailability of minerals commonly found in deficiencies in people struggling with gluten intolerance. Material and methods: The material consisted of gluten-free breads designed to obtain the highest possible content of minerals in the bread while maintaining a good structure and taste. Results: Higher contents of all the analyzed minerals were obtained in breads with natural and synthetic additives, both in rice and buckwheat bread, compared to basic bread. There was also a higher content of the analyzed minerals in buckwheat bread in comparison to rice bread for each type of additive. Higher bioavailability of iron, copper, calcium, and magnesium was noted in rice bread, while the bioavailability of zinc was higher in buckwheat bread. Conclusion: The additives used increased the bioavailability of the analyzed minerals from the gluten-free breads. The use of various variants of flour (rice, buckwheat) influenced the bioavailability of iron, zinc, copper, calcium, and magnesium. The release of minerals from gluten-free bread depends on the element and added components (seeds or synthetic additives).

The problem of non-compliance with microbiological safety indicators of finished bakery products and flour of different types is formulated. It is noted that the reason for the development of bread disease, which is caused by pathogenic and opportunistic microorganisms, is poor quality flour. The solution of the problem is offered by use of symbiosis of lactic acid bacteria as a part of leaven which possess antagonistic properties in relation to many activators.                According to the results of microbiological research, pathogens of bread disease in wheat, spelled, oat and rye types of flour have been identified.The pathogenic micro­organisms present in the flour lead to accelerated spoilage of bread, reducing its nutritional value and safety in terms of microbiological parameters.                It is proposed to test the effectiveness of the use of biotechnological principles, which are based on the antagonistic properties of lactic acid bacteria. To determine the biosafety of the obtained yeast, microbiological studies were performed by seeding yeast samples on elective nutrient media Saburo, Blikfeldt, GMF agar, bifido- and lactoagar.                An improved leaven formulation for baking needs with an increased titer of lactic acid bacteria, which have powerful antagonistic powers, has been developed. Experiments have shown the effectiveness of the use of symbiosis of pure cultures of lactic acid bacteria in the composition of leavens to suppress diseases of bread, namely pathogens  – Aspergillus niger, Mycormucedoand Bacillus subtilis.             The use of unleavened leavens with a high content of pure cultures of lactic acid bacteria in the practice of baking unleavened bread based on gluten-free types of flour contributes to the expansion of the range of functional bakery products.

At the present celiac disease has no known cure, and its only treatment is a strict lifelong adherence to a gluten-free diet. Cheese bread is a traditional Brazilian product and a safe option for celiacs. However, like other gluten-free breads, it has inherent low levels of fibers and minerals. The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of incorporation of whole amaranth flour on the physical properties and nutritional value of cheese bread. Amaranth flour was incorporated at 10, 15, and 20% proportions in different formulations. The increasing amaranth levels darkened the product, reduced specific volume, and increased compression force. Ten percent amaranth-content cheese breads exhibited slight differences in physical properties compared with the controls. These results demonstrated the possibility of incorporating 10% of whole amaranth flour in the formulation of cheese bread resulting in a product with higher dietary fiber and iron contents and the same level of acceptance as that of the conventional formulation. The aim of this approach is to increase the availability of gluten-free bakery products with added nutritional value contributing to increase the variety of the diet of celiac patients.

Cookies, which form the largest category of bakery snacks, are considered a good vehicle to introduce nutrients into the diet. In this study, to increase the nutritional value of traditional commercial cookies, wheat flour was substituted with defatted flours made from flax, sesame, chia, and poppy, which are byproducts of the oil extraction industry. The differences in the technological properties, nutritional composition, and consumer acceptance of the reformulated cookies were evaluated. The results show that the wheat cookies used as the control showed a more elastic behavior than the cookies elaborated with defatted seed flours, which showed a greater tendency to crumble. The use of defatted seed flours yielded cookies with a higher content of protein and fiber, and a lower content in carbohydrates than the wheat cookies. Consumer evaluations for the sesame and flax cookies were similar to those for the traditional wheat cookies, with positive assessments on all of the parameters evaluated. On the other hand, the cookies elaborated using chia and poppy flours received the least positive evaluations from consumers. Thus, the use of some defatted seed flours, mainly flax and sesame, is proposed as an interesting alternative to produce health-promoting cookies in order to cover the current demand for gluten-free products.

Abstract Urgent societal problems, including climate change, require innovation and can benefit from interdisciplinary solutions. A small body of research has demonstrated the potential of positive emotions (e.g., gratitude, awe) to promote creativity and prosocial behavior, which may help address these problems. This study integrates, for the first time, psychology research on a positive and prosocial emotion (i.e., gratitude) with engineering-design creativity research. In a pre-registered study design, engineering students and working engineers (pilot N = 49; full study N = 329) completed gratitude, positive-emotion control, or neutral-control inductions. Design creativity was assessed through rater scores of responses to an Alternate Uses Task (AUT) and a Wind-Turbine-Blade Repurposing Task (WRT). No significant differences among AUT scores emerged across conditions in either sample. While only the pilot-study manipulation of gratitude was successful, WRT results warrant further studies on the effect of gratitude on engineering-design creativity. The reported work may also inform other strategies to incorporate prosocial emotion to help engineers arrive at more original and effective concepts to tackle environmental sustainability, and in the future, other problems facing society.
