The incorporation of sugar beet fiber (0–5%) to tortilla chips and the effects on the chemical and sensory properties were studied. Addition of sugar beet fiber (SBF) led to an increasing of water absorption capacity, ash content and darkness while lowering the protein content and oil absorption. Sensory evaluation showed that the overall acceptability of tortilla chips reduces if adding more than 2% SBF.

The field experiment on Stevia rebaudiana (SR), (Family: Asteraceae) was carried out in acid soil zone of Shimoga (Karnataka) in the year 2009 and 2010 to investigate the influence of biofertilizers on protein, moisture and ash content in the dried Stevia leaf and their correlation with swelling property, water absorption capacity and mineral element contents. Results revealed that second harvested sample (August) in first year (2009) was better for all aspects than other harvested samples and the results showed significant increase in protein content (16.22%), swelling index (SI) (5.10% w/w), water absorption capacity (WAC) (4.91 ml/g) with the treatment T8 where three bio fertilizers were applied togetherly with simultaneous moisture content varied from 6.61 to 7.18%. The significant higher correlations were observed (significant at 1%) between protein content with SI (r = 0.99), WAC (r = 0.99) and SI with WAC (r = 0.98) in 2009 harvested samples. The ash content was higher in third harvested sample (13.54%) in the year 2009 with simultaneous increased amount of Fe (6.19 mg/kg), Mn (1.24 mg/kg), Cu (0.72 mg/kg) and Zn (1.22 mg/kg) contents due to the residual effect of bio fertilizers. Nitrogen (0.74 mg/kg), P (0.40 mg/kg) and K (0.68 mg/kg) contents were higher during second harvested samples and thereafter decreased. Total phenolic content was also recorded highest (64.52 mg/g) with three bio fertilizers applied togetherly during year 2009 compared to the year 2010 (50.12 mg/g). The results suggest that the application of bio-fertilizers either single or more numbers in a balanced way may be beneficial in improving protein, phenol and mineral contents of stevia plant

Effect of storage and concentration of potassium carbonate (K2CO3) on the viscosity and related physico – chemical properties of genger (Bombax costatum) powder was determined. Genger powder was stored for a period of four (4) months (May-August) at 30oc ± 5oc under varying concentrations of K2CO3: 0%, 5%, 10% and 15% in two containers (plastic, giving samples A – D and metal tins, giving samples A1 – D1). Thereafter, the moisture and crude fat contents, water absorption capacity, least gelation concentration, effect of K2CO3 concentration on gel strength and viscosity of the stored powders were determined, using standard methods of analysis, with fresh powder (analyzed before storage) as control. Moisture content decreased significantly (p < 0.05) from 8.37% to 3.04% and 2.00% in samples D and D1 respectively, while crude fat content increased significantly (p < 0.05) from 2.50% to 7.50% and 10.05% in the same samples. Water absorption capacity also increased significantly (p < 0.05) from 6.4g/g to 6.40g/g in the fresh sample to 7.30g/g and 8.30g/g in samples D and D1 respectively. Gelation capacity increased considerably, with 15% K2CO3 giving very strong gels at 1.50% concentration. The overall viscosity increased significantly (p < 0.05) with increase in concentration of (K2CO3) from 64.00FN to 110.00FN after storage. Generally, samples stored in metal tin gave better results than those in the plastic container.

The market of composite flour is growing as consumer nowadays choosing a healthy diet as personal preference. The suitability of the composite flour for use as intermediate or finish food ingredients highly depends on its physicochemical properties and its nutritional value. In this study, four types of local fruit crops (particularly their seeds) namely rambutan, cempedak, durian and nangka were dried and ground into powder form. The physicochemical properties such as bulk density, pH, water absorption capacity (WAC), oil absorption capacity (OAC), foam stability (FS), foam capacity (FC) as well as gelatinization properties of these composite flour were studied. Mineral content and heavy metal analytes were also determined. Results for bulk density from the least to the higher amount was 0.54±0.00 g/mL, 0.57±0.00 g/mL, 0.58±0.01 g/mL, 0.66±0.00 g/mL , 0.70±0.00 g/mL and 0.72±0.00 g/mL for rambutan flour, cempedak flour, tapioca flour, nangka flour, wheat flour and durian flour, respectively. Both cempedak flour and nangka flour showed the lowest pH value (5.72±0.01, 5.73±0.00), followed by rambutan flour and durian flour (6.67±0.00, 6.90±0.00) which similar to that tapioca flour and wheat flour (6.65±0.1, 6.08±0.0), respectively. Rambutan flour, cempedak flour and wheat flours showed the highest value in% of foam stability meanwhile these composite flours showed the lowest value in% of foam capacity. Results for water absorption capacity (WAC) and oil absorption capacity (OAC) in a range of 6% to 42% and 8% to 12% respectively, however, durian flour obtained the highest value for WAC while the value for OAC was the lowest. All of the composite flour possesses gelling properties at 13% concentration except for cempedak flour which completely gels at 20% of concentration. Rambutan flour showed the highest mineral analyte particularly in Zinc (107.19±0.17) and Copper (14.22±0.27) followed by nangka flour [Zinc (64.20±0.32) and Copper (10.40±0.12)] and durian flour [Zinc (52.38±0.42) and Copper (7.97±0.05)]. Level of heavy metal toxicity was under risk for all types of composite flour.

The present study aimed to investigate the influences of experimental variables, i.e. hydrothermal treatments (whithout and treated) and convective drying temperatures (70, 80 and 90°C) on the quality characteristics of okara powders. The quality parameters of the okara powder studied in this experiment consisted of color attributes, particle density, water absorption capacity, oil absorption capacity, pH, viscosity, and non-enzymatic browning. The results showed that the quality of okara powders varied depending on the experimental variables. Hydrothermal treatment and drying of okara at lower temperatures could increase the brightness (L value) from 62.37 to 70.23, and increased the b value of okara powder color from 43.65 to 49.16. However, the particle density (1.04-1.35 g/cm3) and pH value (6.48-6.78) of okara powders were not significantly affected by hydrothermal treatment. The okara powder solution with hydrothermal treatment (2.10-4.50 cP) showed a lower average viscosity value compared to okara powder without hydrothermal treatment ((2.60-4.80 cP). The study also concluded that okara powder absorbed significantly more water rather than absorbing oil, as indicated by the value of water absorption capacity (4.7-5.7 mL/g), which greater than oil absorption capacity (1.1-1.4 mL/g). Non-enzymatic browning occurrence on okara powder samples (OD = 0.52-0.66) was more affected by the drying temperature than hydrothermal treatment. Keywords: convective drying, hydrothermal treatment, okara powder quality
