The present study was conducted aiming at isolation and profiling of the crude dietary fiber (DF) (cellulose, hemicellulose, and pectin) from different parts (seed and peel) of the Burmese grape; a local fruit containing numerous health benefits. The extracted and purified fiber was added to yogurt and the sensory quality of the potential prebiotic yogurt was assessed. Major parts of the Burmese grape are seed, peel, and pulp with a calculated portion of around 19.44%, 36.11%, and 44.45% respectively of the whole fruit. Alcohol Insoluble Solids (AIS) were isolated and found at a level of 51.80% and 72.48% in the seed and peel respectively. The polysaccharides of the AISs were fractionated by extracting sequentially with suitable solvents into cellulose, hemicellulose, and pectin. The extracted pectin, hemicellulose, and cellulose were found to be 38%, 11.56%, and 40% from the peel and 21.24%, 23.36%, and 36.92% from the seed respectively. The extracted crude DF was then purified and the final content of the pectin, hemicellulose, and cellulose in the peel was found as 7.63%, 2.92%, and 32.19% and in seed 3.04%, 1.26%, and 6.34% respectively. Among all the extracted and purified DF, the hemicellulose content was the lowest and the cellulose content was the highest both in peel and seed. The purified DF was added to yogurt at a level of 0%, 1%, 1.3%, and 1.5%, to prepare a control and three potential prebiotic yogurt samples. Despite having potential health benefits of prebiotic yogurt, participated panelists preferred control one during sensory evaluation compared to the dietary fiber added yogurt.

The study examines consumer sensory preferences of 12 different handmade pastry products in the form of minions, made of rice and flaxseed flour, tapioca starch with natural taste ingredients and with addition of prebiotic (inulin), herbs and other ingredients. The sensory evaluation was performed by professionals (experienced tasters). Preferred minion flavour was tested at group of 324 consumers (hotel guests) of different nationality. ANOVA and t-test were performed to reveal differences in attitudes related to socio-demographic characteristics of the consumers. Also, determination of taste preferences according to consumer nationality was examined as an additional consumer care aspect. The evaluation of equality of the samples? average rates, as well as the groups of minions, is done by parametric or nonparametric model of variance analysis. Principal component analysis (PCA) was applied in order to group the investigated minions regarding their sensory properties, while the sum of ranking differences (SRD) was used to determine the minions with the best sensory properties. Consumers and experienced tasters have almost the same opinion about the sensory quality of minions, which indicates that assessment of the consumer can be considered as a representative opinion in the near future. Such functional food - minions could be widely used as a substitute for the most common commercial sweets rich in sugar and fat.

The investigation was conducted in the Molecular Horticulture Laboratory of Agrotechnology Discipline, Khulna University to develop processed products from jackfruit through their sensory evaluation in order to see their suitability and consumer acceptability. Using variation in sugar contents five preparations of raw jackfruit green pickle, four preparations of rind jelly and bulb jelly, and three preparations of jam, squash and sweet pickles were successfully prepared. Results from sensory evaluation using a seven point hedonic scale to rate for color, taste, flavor, texture and overall acceptability by untrained panelists indicated preparation No. 3 of green pickle, preparation No. 3 and 4 of rind jelly, preparation No. 2 of bulb jelly, jam, squash and sweet pickle scored highest among all the preparations. The storage of these products in normal room temperature showed that produced pickles remain unchanged even after 12 months of storage. But the quality of jam, jelly and squash started to deteriorate after 7 months of storage due to the absence of preservatives. Based on results, it can be concluded that commercial production of the products by using different parts of jackfruit can be taken up and promoted as a small scale income generating activity.J.

In this study, the effects of sugarbeet fiber (SBF) and brewers’ spent grain (BSG) on the quality of tarhana, a fermented wheat flour-yoghurt product, were studied. SBF was produced from sugarbeet pulp collected after pressing. BSG was a malt-rice adjunct mash spent grain. SBF and BSG of particle sizes >425 mm were added into the tarhana formulation at levels of 3, 6, 9, and 12%. Total dietary fiber (TDF) contents of SBF and BSG were 72.9% and 65.2%, respectively. Chemical properties, color values, sensory scores and TDF contents of SBF- and BSG-containing tarhana samples were investigated. Addition of SBF decreased protein and crude fat values but BSG increased them significantly (p < 0.01). Addition of SBF and BSG resulted in lower L*a*b* color1 values giving slightly darker products. The TDF contents of organoleptically accepted 9% SBF and 6% BSG added tarhanas showed ~3 and ~2 fold higher TDF than the control groups, respectively. Utilization of SBF and BSG in tarhana production resulted in acceptable soup properties in terms of most of the sensory properties. Slightly lower values in some of the sensory properties (color, odor, and taste) could be compensated by the health benefits of fiber products.

Cowpea Flour

<p>The average consumption of dietary fiber in Indonesian is still below the recommended daily intake. Low dietary fiber intake has an impact on the development of degenerative diseases and metabolic syndrome. One of the risk factors for the occurrence of the disease is oxidative stress. The most effective strategy to overcome oxidative stress is through dietary antioxidants intake. Cowpea is proven to be rich in bioactive compounds such as flavonoids, dietary fiber as well as antioxidants, and these compounds have been successfully increased by germination. This study aims to develop cowpea sprouts flour as a functional cereal high in dietary fiber and antioxidants. The cereal was prepared by the best formula based on two steps of sensory analysis. The first one, the sensory analysis conducted to select the formula based on the best sensory quality of the cereal made by the various proportions of cowpea flour (%b/b) (80, 85, 90, 95, 100). The selected formula was further used to prepare the cereal with different flavoring agents (5% b/b) (ginger, cinnamon, and ginger-cinnamon) to find the best formula based on the preference level. The cereals were further analyzed to determine the sensory quality compared to the commercial cereal, the dietary fiber content which includes the total, soluble, and insoluble dietary fibers, as well as the antioxidant potential with the total phenolic content (TPC) evaluation. Formula with 80%(b/b) cowpea flour and 5% (b/b) ginger as flavoring agents produce cereal with the highest preference level and stated as the best formula. The cowpea sprouts cereal exhibited a significantly higher quality of aroma, texture, and overall than the commercial ones. The cereal also showed the highest levels of total, soluble and insoluble dietary fiber as well as the TPC. These results have significant implications on the development of functional cereal using locally legumes sprouts flour.</p>

The objective of this work was to investigate the survival of autochthonous, potentially probiotic bacteria Lactobacillus plantarum 564, and the influence of long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acid omega-3 (omega-3 PUFA) fish oil fortification on the sensory quality of yoghurt. Three variants of yoghurt were produced using starter cultures of Lactobacillus delbrueckii ssp. bulgaricus and Streptococcus thermophilus (Chr. Hansen, Denmark), and the potentially probiotic Lactobacillus plantarum 564 (Culture Collection of the Department for Industrial Microbiology, Faculty of Agriculture, University of Belgrade) as follows: (1) without omega-3 PUFA; (2) with 100 mg/l omega-3 PUFA; and (3) with 200mg/l omega-3 PUFA. The survival of potential probiotic Lb. plantarum 564, the changes of starter bacteria counts, changes of pH values, as well as sensory evaluation, were examined during 3 weeks of yoghurt storage. Cells of Lb. plantarum 564 were maintained at >108 cfug?1. Starter bacteria counts were >107 cfug?1 for streptococci and >106 cfug?1 for lactobacilli. The changes of pH were within normal pH of fermented milks. Sensory evaluation showed that all variants of yoghurt produced with Lb. plantarum 564 and 2 concentrations of omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids had a high sensory quality (above 90% of maximal quality), and which did not change significantly throughout the examined storage period. Although the sensory quality of the control sample was evaluated as better, the experimental samples fortified with fish oil were also characterized with very acceptable sensory properties. Results of high viability of potential probiotic Lb. plantarum 564, as well as very acceptable yoghurt sensory properties, indicate that this strain can be successfully used in the production of yoghurt fortified with PUFA omega-3 fish oil as a new functional dairy product.

Two separate consumer-marketing studies were conducted between 30 Oct. and 2 Dec. 2002 to determine consumer awareness and potential demand for edamame [Glycine max (L.) Merrill]. The first study consisted of a sensory evaluation that included 113 participants who tasted and rated three edamame cultivars based on firmness and overall appeal and then ranked the beans in order of preference at The Pennsylvania State University, University Park Campus. To estimate demand, the participants answered questions regarding their likelihood to purchase edamame after the sensory evaluation. The second study, a telephone survey, was administered by a marketing firm to determine consumer awareness of edamame as well as their produce purchasing habits. Responses were collected from 401 consumers within the Metro-Philadelphia area. Consumer reaction to the sensory evaluation was positive, and after reading about the health benefits, a majority of consumers (92%) indicated they would likely purchase edamame and serve it in a meal whereas 89% gave this response after only sampling the edamame beans. When responses were compared among cultivars, overall liking for `Green Legend' (6.29; 1 = extremely dislike; 9 = like extremely) was significantly lower than for `Kenko' (6.84); however, neither cultivar was significantly different from `Early Hakucho' (6.62). Participants also rated `Kenko' as having a firmness that was `just about right'. Verbal comments from participants leaving the evaluation site included interest in purchasing edamame and inquiries as to where it could be purchased in the vicinity of the university. Telephone survey participants also expressed a willingness to purchase edamame and serve it in a meal after hearing about the potential health benefits (66%). Based on consumer responses to selected telephone survey questions, three distinct marketing segments were created. Potential purchasers (58% of participants), consisted of consumers who were more likely to consider the importance of the nutritional content of vegetables they purchased (73%), included the greatest percent of consumers who had purchased soy or soy-based products (70%), and were very likely (51%) and somewhat likely (46%) to eat edamame after learning about the health benefits. The second largest segment of participants characterized as unlikely edamame eaters (22% of participants) consisted of individuals who were very likely (20%) and somewhat likely (43%) to purchase vegetables they had never eaten before if evidence suggested that it might decrease the risk of cancer and/or other diseases. However, within this group, none of the participants were either very likely or somewhat likely to eat edamame after being told about the health benefits. The last group, characterized as requires convincing (20% of participants), consisted of individuals who were the least likely to base produce-purchasing decisions on the nutritional content of vegetables. After learning about health benefits specific to edamame, 8% of these participants were very likely and 48% were somewhat likely to eat edamame. Hence, separate marketing strategies may need to be developed to target these distinct segments based on interest in eating edamame, importance of nutritional information, and current vegetable purchasing habits.

Intensive Farming

Consumer concern regarding possible adverse health effects of foods produced using intensive farming methods has led to considerable interest in the health benefits of organically-produced crops and animal products. There appears to be widespread perception amongst consumers that such methods result in foods of higher nutritional quality. The present review concludes that evidence that can support or refute such perception is not available in the scientific literature. A limited number of studies have compared the nutrient compositions of organically- and conventionally-produced crops, with a very small number of studies that have compared animal products (meat, milk and dairy products) produced under the two agricultural systems. Very few compositional differences have been reported, although there are reasonably consistent findings for higher nitrate and lower vitamin C contents of conventionally-produced vegetables, particularly leafy vegetables. Data concerning possible impacts on animal and human health of diets comprising organic or conventional produce are extremely sparse. Data from controlled studies in animal models, particularly within single species, are limited or poorly designed, and findings from these studies provide conflicting conclusions. There are no reports in the literature of controlled intervention studies in human subjects. Comparison of health outcomes in populations that habitually consume organically- or conventionally-produced foods are flawed by the large number of confounding factors that might contribute to any differences reported. If consumer perceptions regarding potential health benefits of organic foods are to be supported, more research of better quality is needed than that which is currently available.

The horse gram is a cheapest source of protein, calcium and iron. Further the germination of horse gram seeds can reduce the anti-nutritional factors. The germination was carried out by washing, soaking (12 h), germinating (24 h), oven drying and grinding into flour in hammer mill. The effect of germination on chemical characteristics of horse gram was found to significantly decrease (p&lt;0.05) in protein, carbohydrate, fat and significantly increase (p &lt; 0.05) in moisture and ash content. Further value added product (cookies) was prepared by incorporation of 5, 10, 15 and 20% germinated horse gram flour (GHF). The sensory evaluation of cookies was carried out by a panel of ten trained judges using 9-point Hedonic scale. The sensory quality of cookies significantly decreased (p&lt;0.05) for higher level of GHF and significantly increased (p &lt; 0.05) for low level of GHF. The cookies prepared by incorporation of GHF up to 10% were acceptable without affecting organoleptic quality.
