This study has evaluated the effects of adding 4%, 6% and 8% soy fiber to wheat pasta for the production of dry wheat spaghetti. The properties of the mixture were evaluated for humidity, falling number, ashes, color, retained gluten, and subjected to farinograph (water absorption, development, stability) and extensograph analyses (resistance and extensibility). The spaghetti was evaluated with cooking tests (performance, increased volume, loss of soluble solids to cooking water) and sensory analysis. The addition of soy fiber to wheat flour resulted in mixtures with rheological and physicochemical characteristics suitable for the production of wheat spaghetti, enhancing performance and reducing the loss of soluble solids to the cooking water. The sensory analysis showed that, for all parameters tested, panelists favored mixtures with up to 6% soy fiber addition.

Germination is a convenient technique that could be used to enhance the nutritional profile of legumes. Furthermore, consumers’ increasing demand for diversification of bakery products represents an opportunity to use such germinated flours in wheat-based products. Thus, this study aimed to underline the effects of soybean germinated flour (SGF) and lentil germinated flour (LGF) on the rheological behavior of dough during different processing stages and to optimize the addition level. For this purpose, flour falling number, dough properties during mixing, extension, fermentation, and dynamic rheological characteristics were evaluated. Response surface methodology (RSM) was used for the optimization of SGF and LGF addition levels in wheat flour, optimal and control samples microstructures being also investigated through epifluorescence light microscopy (EFLM). The results revealed that increased SGF and LGF addition levels led to curve configuration ratio, visco-elastic moduli, and maximum gelatinization temperature rises, while the falling number, water absorption, dough extensibility, and baking strength decreased. The interaction between SGF and LGF significantly influenced (p < 0.05) the falling number, dough consistency after 450 s, baking strength, curve configuration ratio, viscous modulus, and maximum gelatinization temperature. The optimal sample was found to contain 5.60% SGF and 3.62% LGF added in wheat flour, with a significantly lower falling number, water absorption, tolerance to kneading, dough consistency, extensibility, and initial gelatinization temperature being observed, while dough tenacity, the maximum height of gaseous production, total CO2 volume production, the volume of the gas retained in the dough at the end of the test, visco-elastic moduli and maximum gelatinization temperatures were higher compared to the control. These results underlined the effects of SGF and LGF on wheat dough rheological properties and could be helpful for novel bakery products development.

In the present research work, the objective was to evaluate the effect of partial substitution of milk by whey in the sensory and physicochemical characteristics of quinoa ice cream. Four formulations with different concentrations of whey (0, 25, 75 and 100%) were made. The sensory analysis of the formulations was carried out with 31 panelists using a five-point hedonic scale that allowed the taste, aroma, color, and sweetness of the ice cream to be evaluated. The physicochemical characteristics of the formulation that obtained the highest score in the sensory analysis were evaluated for 40 days. The characteristics consisted of the determination of acidity, pH, soluble solids content and overrun percentage. A statistical analysis was performed to evaluate the means and statistical significance of sensory and physicochemical characteristics. The F1 formulation obtained the highest score in the perception of taste, aroma and color, compared to the control formulation F0 (p <0.05). The 40-day storage of ice cream with 25% whey and 75% milk (F1), showed an increase in acidity and pH, and a decrease in the percentage of overrun. The content of soluble solids remained constant from day 10. In conclusion, whey can be a substitute for milk in the elaboration of ice cream at a level of 25%, improving the taste and aroma of the product, also of nutritional quality, since it has a higher protein content than milk.

The objective of this study was to develop a prebiotic beverage from yacon and pineapple sweetened with stevia. Nine functional beverage formulations were prepared. The yacon and the pineapple were incorporated in three proportions, P1: 30-70, P2: 50-50 and P3: 70-30, respectively. The selection of the optimal treatment was made by sensory analysis. The physicochemical analyzes of the optimal formulation evaluated were pH, acidity, total soluble solids, instrumental color and % Fructo oligosaccharides (FOS) (1-Kestose and Nystose). For the interpretation of results, a randomized design with a 3 x 3 factorial arrangement was used. Beverages P1 and P2, obtained the highest score on a scale of 9 points (p> 0,05); however, the latter had a higher percentage of FOS (0,19%). The beverage presented the following physicochemical characteristics, pH: 3,58 ± 0,03, Total soluble solids: 5 ± 0,01 ° Brix, Acidity: 0,36 ± 0,01%, Density: 1,02 ± 0,01g / ml, Viscosity: 13,55 ± 0,15 cP, Color Index: -14,03 ± 1,65 and FOS (1-Kestose: 0,06% and Nystose: 0,13%).

Since pumpkin is a widely consumed vegetable in the human diet, this study aimed to evaluate the relation between physicochemical characteristics and sensory profiles of pumpkin varieties. Samples were coded as follows:  PS is the scented pumpkin (PS01, PS02, PS03), MP is the moranga pumpkin (MP01), HP is the hybrid pumpkin (HP02, HP03, HP12), and CP is the commercial hybrid Tetsukabuto pumpkin. Pumpkin varieties were evaluated as to total titratable acidity, pH, soluble solids, carotenoid content, cooking time, color, hardness, descriptive sensory analysis, preference, and purchase intention (affective sensory analysis). Consumers’ profiles were evaluated by an online questionnaire. The highest values of total soluble solids and scores for sweet taste in the sensory evaluation were shown by PS02 and CP. The former exhibited the highest carotenoid content (172.88 mg 100g-1) while the hybridization process resulted in pumpkins (HP02, HP03 and HP12) with the lowest total carotenoid content (50.94-51.90 mg 100g-1). All pumpkin varieties were mostly yellow (positive b* value). The consumers’ profile shows their preference for small fruits (mass between 1.0 and 1.5 kg) that are peeled and whose pulp is orange. Association between the descriptive test and the preference one showed that orange pumpkins were prefered by the sensory panel. The sensory profile and physicochemical characteristics are important tools to the production of hybrids and breeding of genetic pumpkin varieties. This is a field of research that has grown lately and may result in higher productivity and quality of this vegetable.

The flour (100% Tc) of the triticale variety GK Szemes bred at the Cereal Research Non-Profit Ltd. was tested for food purposes, namely, for puff-pastry making properties. The control dough was made of BL 55 plain wheat flour (100% BL). Flour mixtures (flour mixtures I and II) were prepared by mixing wheat flour and triticale flour to different ratios. The flours, their mixtures, and the puff-pastry made of them, respectively, were analyzed according to the terms of the Hungarian Food Codex for the following rheological traits: gluten content, falling number, farinograph water absorption, and extensibility. The data reflected that the triticale flour and wheat flour mixtures had advantageous baking industrial properties. The dough of flour mixtures was easier to handle manually than the control. The dough on flour mixture II basis was ranked higher than that of flour mixture I in terms of sensory properties. Therefore flour mixture II had been chosen to bake Chelsea bun-type puff-pastry with savoury (pizza cream) flavouring. Triticale has favourable agronomic traits and beneficial nutrition value and therefore it is expected to become a valuable food component.

The aim of this research was to evaluate the effect of pineapple peel (PP) addition on pineapple jam physicochemical and sensory characteristics. Five pineapple jam formulations were prepared: standard F1 (0% PP) and the others added 2.5% (F2), 5% (F3), 7.5% (F4) and 10% (F5) of PP. The results of sensory analysis indicated the feasibility of adding PP in pineapple jam, especially up to a level of 5%. The addition of PP increased soluble solids, titratable acidity, sugars, moisture, dietary fiber, phenolic compounds and antioxidant capacity. Also, it increased the values for a* and decreased for L* and b*. The use of up to 5% PP in jam should be encouraged as it can improve physicochemical characteristics and maintain sensory acceptability of the product. It also reduces negative effects of organic waste disposal on the environment.

Sweet cherry (Prunus avium L.) is a fruit appreciated by consumers for its well-known physical and sensory characteristics and its health benefits. Being an extremely perishable fruit, it is important to know the unique attributes of the cultivars to develop cultivation or postharvest strategies that can enhance their quality. This study aimed to understand the influence of physicochemical characteristics of two sweet cherry cultivars, Burlat and Van, on the food quality perception. Several parameters (weight, dimensions, soluble solids content (SSC), pH, titratable acidity (TA), colour, and texture) were measured and correlated with sensory data. Results showed that cv. Van presented heavier and firmer fruits with high sugar content. In turn, cv. Burlat showed higher pH, lower TA, and presented redder and brightest fruits. The principal component analysis revealed an evident separation between cultivars. Van cherries stood out for their sensory parameters and were classified as more acidic, bitter, and astringent, and presented a firmer texture. Contrarily, Burlat cherries were distinguished as being more flavourful, succulent, sweeter, and more uniform in terms of visual and colour parameters. The results of the sensory analysis suggested that perceived quality does not always depend on and/or recognize the quality parameters inherent to the physicochemical characteristics of each cultivar.
