ABSTRAK Tujuan penelitian ini yaitu untuk mengetahui karakteristik dan aktivitas antioksidan serat pangan dari tepung kulit kakao yang diekstraksi menggunakan gelombang ultrasonik dengan perbedaan pelarut. Penelitian ini terdiri dari 3 tahap yaitu mikronisasi, ekstraksi dan karakterisasi. Hasil karakterisasi secara fisik tepung kulit kakao tanpa perlakuan (KKTP), yang diekstraksi dengan aquades (KKA) dan etanol (KKE) dengan Fourier Transform Infra Red (FTIR) tidak mengalami perubahan mendasar pada komponen utama setelah proses penggilingan dan ekstraksi secara sonikasi. Hasil difraksi sinar-X menunjukkan derajat kristalinitas KKTP (55,58%) lebih besar daripada KKA (54,24%) dan KKE (53,48%). Hasil karakterisasi secara kimia menunjukkan kandungan air KKTP lebih tinggi dari KKA dan KKE, kandungan protein, karbohidrat dan lignin KKA lebih tinggi dari KKTP dan KKE. Sedangkan kandungan abu, lemak, serat pangan tak larut, serat pangan terlarut, total serat pangan, hemiselulosa dan selulosa KKE lebih tinggi dari KKTP dan KKA. Hasil pengujian aktivitas antioksidan menunjukkan ekstrak fenolik terikat KKTP (88,38%), KKA (90,61%) dan KKE (92,78%) lebih tinggi dibandingkan ekstrak fenolik bebas KKTP (86,85%), KKA (88,19%) dan KKE (90,04%). Adapun kapasitas penangkal nitrit menunjukkan bahwa ekstrak fenolik terikat KKTP (40,28%), KKA (55,90%) dan KKE (67,92%) lebih besar dibandingkan ekstrak fenolik bebas KKTP (34,84%), KKA (53,22%) dan KKE (64,63%). ABSTRACT The purpose of this study was to determine the characteristics and antioxidant activity of dietary fiber from cocoa husk flour extracted using ultrasonic waves with different solvents.

Abstract A joint AOAC/AACC (American Association of Cereal Chemists) collaborative study of methods for the determination of soluble, insoluble, and total dietary fiber (SDF, IDF, and TDF) was conducted with 11 participating laboratories. The assay Is based on a modification of the AOAC TDF method 985.29 and the SDF/IDF method collaboratively studied recently by AOAC. The principles of the method are the same as those for the AOAC dietary fiber methods 985.29 and 991.42, Including the use of the same 3 enzymes (heat-stable α-amylase, protease, and amyloglucosldase) and similar enzyme Incubation conditions. In the modification, minor changes have been made to reduce analysis time and to Improve assay precision: (1) MES-TRIS buffer replaces phosphate buffer; (2) one pH adjustment step Is eliminated; and (3) total volumes of reaction mixture and filtration are reduced. Eleven collaborators were sent 20 analytical samples (4 cereal and grain products, 3 fruits, and 3 vegetables) for duplicate blind analysis. The SDF, IDF, and TDF content of the foods tested ranged from 0.53 to 7.17, 0.59 to 60.53, and 1.12 to 67.56 g/100 g, respectively. The respective average RSDR values for SDF, IDF, and TDF determinations by direct measurements were 13.1, 5.2, and 4.5%. The TDF values calculated by summing SDF and IDF were in excellent agreement with the TDF values measured independently. The modification did not alter the method performance with regard to mean dietary fiber values, yet It generated lower assay variability compared with the unmodified methods. The method for SDF, IDF, and TDF (by summing SDF and IDF) has been adopted first action by AOAC International.

Purple sweet potato is one type of tuber that is rich in carbohydrates in the form of starch and fiber. It also contains purple anthocyanin pigments. In this research, purple sweet potato was processed into flour and starch. Starch processing solid waste can be utilized by processing it into fiber flour. Purple sweet potato flour and fiber were then used as the basis for making biscuits at a ratio of 75: 25 and compared to biscuits made from 100% purple sweet potato flour and wheat flour. The resulting biscuits were then analyzed for their chemical characteristics. The results showed that the ratio of flour gave a very significantly different effect on the value of water content, total dietary fiber content, insoluble dietary fiber content and % nutritional adequacy rate of food fiber, and had no significant effect on the value of ash content, protein content, fat content, content carbohydrates, total flavonoids, insoluble dietary fiber content, calorie intake and fulfillment of daily energy adequacy.

Intestinal Digestion

This method determines total dietary fiber (TDF) in foods and food ingredients, as defined by Codex Alimentarius. The method measures soluble and insoluble dietary fiber, including resistant starch, as well as nondigestible oligosaccharides. In this method, enzymatic digestion is used to simulate human intestinal digestion. Insoluble dietary fiber (IDF) and soluble dietary fiber that precipitates in 78% ethanol (SDFP) are separated by filtration and quantified gravimetrically. Additionally, highly soluble oligosaccharides (SDFS) are quantified by chromatographic separation. TDF is reported as the sum of the gravimetric and high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) results. The digestion and chromatographic conditions of this method have been modified from those of AACC Approved Methods 32-45.01 and 32-50.01 in an attempt to better simulate human digestion and to allow for more exact quantitation.

Abstract A method that uses urea and enzymes for determination of total dietary fiber (TDF) in foods has been developed and compared with the AOAC enzymatic-gravimetric method (43.A14-43.A20). In the evaluation, results for crude protein and ash contamination were higher by the AOAC method, particularly for samples that form gels during ethanol precipitation. The new urea enzymatic dialysis (UED) method quantitatively recovered, with less variation, more of the purified and semipurified dietary fiber products. TDF recoveries for carboxymethylcellulose and locust bean gum were 98% (SD 3.3) and 95% (SD 6.1) by the AOAC method and 99% (SD 1.0) and 100% (SD 0.6) by the UED method, respectively. The UED method was the more effective in removing starch. For kale samples, starch recovery was 3.5 and 0.2% from TDF residues obtained using the AOAC and UED methods, respectively. Differences were not significant among replicate values for determination of TDF in foods by the UED method (P >0.01). Preliminary studies suggest that the new method can separately determine soluble and insoluble dietary fiber. The data indicate that the UED method is more precise and accurate than the AOAC method.

The aim of this work was to perform an unprecedented in-depth study on the bioactive phytochemicals of Abelmoschus esculentus L. Moench Tunisian landrace (Marsaouia). For this purpose, its nutritional, aroma volatile, and phenolic profiles were characterized, and sundry biological activities were assessed in vitro. The approximate composition revealed that total dietary fiber as the most abundant macronutrient, mainly insoluble dietary fiber, followed by total carbohydrates and proteins. In addition, okra pods were rich in K, Ca, Mg, organic acids, tocopherols, and chlorophylls. Gas Chromatography-Electron Impact Mass Spectrometry (GC-EIMS) analysis showed that oxygenated monoterpenes, sesquiterpene hydrocarbons, and phenylpropanoids were the predominant essential volatile components in A. esculentus pods. A total of eight flavonols were detected by High-Performance Liquid Chromatography coupled to a DAD detector and mass spectrometry by electrospray ionization (HPLC-DAD-MS/ESI); with quercetin-3-O-glucoside being the majority phenolic component, followed by quercetin-O-pentosyl-hexoside and quercetin-dihexoside. This pioneering study, evidences that Tunisian okra display promising antioxidant and cytotoxic actions, in addition to relevant inhibitory effects against α-amylase and α-glucosidase enzymes, and interesting analgesic activity.

In this work we evaluated the variability in fiber content and physical and chemical parameters of byproducts from orange juice extraction. Five different treatments and two drying methods were evaluated. The results indicate that drying by lyophilization was better than that drying in an oven. The pH ranged from approximately 3.47 to 3.96. The variation in moisture values was 9.22% ± 0.02 to 18.48 ± 0.52%. The total dietary fiber content in the resulting flours ranged from 42.44% to 62.74%. The soluble and insoluble dietary fiber contents differed among the samples, ranging from 5.04% to 19.95% for the first fiber type, and 23.96% to 57.70% for the second. In conclusion, three treatments, associated with freeze-drying, showed promising results in the development of fiber-rich product. However, some modifications are needed, as well as further analysis, to guarantee the benefits of these products for human health. This study contributes to the possible application of industrial byproducts.

Resistant starch (RS) is a part of insoluble dietary fiber, and it could be recognized as a functional food ingredient in some types of confectionery products that lack dietary fiber. Unlike dark and milk chocolate, white chocolate does not contain fat-free cocoa solids rich in dietary fiber. In the present study, 5%, 10%, and 15% of white chocolate were substituted with RS in order to improve the nutritional value of enriched white chocolate. The influence of RS on rheological, textural, and thermal properties of the chocolate fat phase was firstly investigated, and then further influence on physical properties, dietary fiber content, and sensory characteristics of enriched white chocolates were investigated. The obtained results showed that enriched chocolates had increased content of total dietary fiber and reduced total fats and protein content in accordance with the added amount of RS. At the same time, RS increased viscosity and reduced the hardness and volume mean diameter in enriched chocolates in accordance with the added amount. RS improved the nutritional composition of white chocolate by increasing the content of dietary fiber. At the same time, RS did not impair the color and sensory characteristics of enriched white chocolates.
