<p>The objective of this study was to develop a nutrient-dense gluten-free bread (GFB) using either amaranth or Montina™ flour in a standardized gluten-free lean breadrecipe for the purpose of comparing the nutritional, sensory, and objective qualities of the developed breads to a commercially-marketed GFB. Participants (n=222)included individuals who typically eat a gluten-free diet and those who eat a non-restricted diet. The non-restricted diet group was used to assess product acceptability in the general population and to determine product marketability among those without gluten restrictions. Nutritionally, both developed breads provided at least 26% more iron than the commercial GFB and <span style="text-decoration: underline;">&gt;</span><span style="text-decoration: underline;"> </span>40% more fiber while the amaranth bread provided twice as much folate. Significant differences (p &lt; 0.05) in sensory attributes (appearance, texture, flavor, tenderness, and overall acceptability) of both amaranth- and Montina™-based breads were not reported between the groups. Based on sensory scores using a 9-point Hedonic scale, the commercial GFB was preferred over either developed bread and the Montina™-based bread was preferred over the amaranth-based bread. Significant differences in bread hardness were not detected among the tested GFB, yet commercial GFB slices exhibited the largest and most consistent cell size throughout. Results suggest that amaranth and Montina™ flours assist in improving the nutritional quality of GFB, yet additional testing is needed to assist in formulation modifications of this standardized lean bread recipe in order to produce a product similar in sensory qualities to commercially-marketed GFB.</p>

This study aims to investigate the potential of white and bronze whole-grain sorghum flour to develop gluten-free bread (GFB) with acceptable sensory properties. Two 22 factorial designs, with two central point repetitions each, were used to study the effects of white (WS) or bronze sorghum (BS) flours and water (W) levels on the physical properties, acceptability scores, and proximate composition of GFB. The WS or BS levels ranged from 50 to 100% when blended with potato starch, and the W levels ranged from 100 to 140% (flour weight basis). Independent of the amount applied, GFB formulations containing BS were well accepted (acceptability scores for appearance, color, odor, texture, flavor and overall liking ≥ 6.29 on a 10 cm hybrid hedonic scale). No significant differences were observed between the acceptability scores of single and composite formulations for all of the evaluated sensory attributes. Moreover, the W levels had no effect on the acceptability of GFB made with BS. Composite formulations prepared with 50 and 75% WS were also well accepted (acceptability scores for appearance, color, odor, texture, flavor, and overall liking ≥ 7.43 on a 10 cm hybrid hedonic scale). However, increased W levels are required in single formulations to increase the scores for texture and overall acceptability. GFB made with 50% and 75% WS/BS can be classified as a source of fiber since the fiber content is higher than 3 g per 100 g, while GFB made with 100% WS/BS can be classified as high in fiber, as the content of this component is higher than 6 g per 100 g. This research highlights the great potential of whole-grain sorghum flours for producing nutrient-dense and acceptable GFB, which is important for consumers who choose or must adhere to a GF diet.

Processed food is associated with unhealthy qualities such as higher content of harmful fats, sugars and salt. The aim of our study was to compare the nutritional qualities of supermarket’s own brands and regular brands of bread sold in Sweden. Additionally, we compared the nutritional qualities of gluten-free and gluten-containing bread. We collected information from the labels of 332 bread products available in the largest grocery store chains. The Australian Health Star Rating (HSR) system was used to quantify the nutritional quality of each bread product. We compared all supermarket’s own brand products to regular brand products, and gluten-free to gluten-containing bread. The mean HSR for the supermarket’s own brands was lower than the regular brands (3.6 vs. 3.7; p = 0.046). For the regular brand products, the fibre, sugar and total fat content were greater (p < 0.001, p = 0.002 and p = 0.021, respectively), while less protein (p = 0.009) compared to regular bread products. Gluten-free bread had a lower HSR than gluten-containing bread (mean 3.5 vs. 3.8, respectively; p < 0.001). The regular brand products were slightly healthier than the supermarket’s own brands, primarily as a result of a higher fibre content. Gluten-free bread products were slightly unhealthier due to a lower protein content.

Triticale is a more recent development in the field of cereals, that is a man made cereals created by crossing wheat and rye, compared to oats and barley, which have long histories, triticale is between 40 and 50 years old. Triticale is hybrid of wheat (Triticum) and rye (Scale) first bread in laboratories during the late 19th century in Scotland and Germany. When crossing wheat and rye, wheat is used the female parent and rye is the male parent. The resulting hybrid is sterile and must be treated with colchicines to induce polyoidy and thus the ability to reproduce itself. High quality grain, conditioning products with desirable properties and nutritional value, determines the use of triticale for consumption. Therefore, more and more attention is paid in triticale breeding for its quality, to obtain highly yielding, but also technologically advantageous varieties. The aim of this research was to evaluate nutritional quality and sensory properties of triticale based product that are – Medicated Health Powder which are made from germinated grain triticale, wheat, pearl millet, Beet root ashwagandha, safed musli and steavia powder and Non– Medicated Health Powder which are made from germinated grain triticale, wheat, pearl millet, and steavia powder. The result of the nutritional analysis indicated that the nutritional composition of Medicated health powder are moisture -8.5, ash -2.20, protein- 6.59 and iron-1.82 gm. Non-Medicated health powder are moisture -8.7, ash -1.89, protein- 6.36 and iron-1.71 gm. Regarding sensory properties, these products were evaluated on sensory parameters using nine point hedonic rating scale. Sensory score for Medicated Health Powder for appearance 9.0, texture 8.4 color 8.2, flavor 8.0 and overall acceptability is 9.0. and Non-Medicated Health Powder for appearance 9.0, texture 8.8 color 8.4, flavor 8.8 and overall acceptability is 9.0. A sensory quality of products (Medicated health powder and Non- medicated health powder) was monitored during storage and was found stable for 3 months. Medicated and Non- medicated health powder health powder is recommended for diabetic patients and in cronic heart disease.

Gluten free products remain the cornerstone for celiac patients. Insufficiency, poverty and little offered about gluten free products (quality and quantity) represented a high obstacle for Egyptian celiac patients. Therefore, the purpose of this research is to modify a single screw extruder to produce gluten–free pasta (GFP) (tagliatelle type). The GFP was made from corn flour under screw rotation speed (N) of 10, 25 and 50 rpm at 40, 65, 90 and 115 ºC of barrel temperature (BT). Extruder performance was evaluated as specific mechanical energy (SME) and expansion ratio (Er). The cooking quality of GFP as optimum cooking time (OCT), cooked yield (CY), swelling (Sw), cooking losses (CL) and sensory characteristics (appearance, colour, taste, mouth feel and overall acceptability) were evaluated. The better results of the GFP sensory evaluation were obtained at BT= 80 ºC, N =25 rpm and Er ≈ 1.38 with OCT ≈ 3.3 min, CY= 196%, Sw = 210% and CL= 16.3%. All parameters were given a direct proportion with processing variables N and BT, except CL. Furthermore, it can be predicted cooking properties values for GFP by SME value using the following equation; SME » 1.8675 (Er) + 0.8037 » 0.0608 (OCT)1.5984  » 8×10-17 (CY)6.7878 » 2×10-9 (Sw)3.494  » -0.0306 (CL) + 0.7877.

Freshly harvested capsicum has limited shelf life (5-6 days) under ambient storage conditions. The functional quality of capsicum has been assessed in two sizes (300g±10%) and (900g±10%) of 30µ flex freshTM expanded polyethylene biopolymer pouches at 3 and 10oC and 90-95% RH under modified atmospheric storage. In both small and big size pouches, composition of oxygen and carbon dioxide varied from 18.8-19.9% and 18.8-19.4% and from 2.2-0.7% and 2.0-1.4%, respectively during 28 days of storage at 3oC. Positive and significant correlation was observed between overall acceptability and CO2 composition however, negative correlation was observed with O2 composition. Minimum increase (6.02% and 4.35%) in PLW, minimum decrease in firmness (4.71N-3.50N and 4.71N-2.70N), minimum decrease in chlorophyll (70.3% and 75.5%) and minimum losses (47.6% and 40.3%) of ascorbic acid were obtained after 28 days of storage in small and big size capsicum, respectively at 3oC. The decrease in total phenol and antioxidant activity was 82.4% and 78.6% and 60.1% and 59.4%, respectively after 28 days of the storage at 3oC of small and big size capsicum, respectively. Judges observed most acceptable consistency and OAA score for both sizes of capsicum in pouches up to 21 days of storage at 3oC.


Indian rice dumpling is a traditionaland nutritious south Indian snack with ashorter shelf life.In the study, retort processing has been explored to increase theshelf life of the rice dumpling.Retort processingprovides microbiologically,safer products. Butthe use of high temperature for longer processing period results in loss of nutritional and sensory qualities of the rice dumpling. The main objective of the present study is to optimize the process parameters of retort processingto maintain the sterility and retain the nutritional quality of rice dumpling. The experiments weredesigned using central composite design and the optimum value for the retort processing was obtained by response surface methodology. The optimum values of retort processing temperature and time were 115°C and 25 minutes respectively. Rice dumpling produced at the optimum conditions has a shelf life of four weeks when stored at ambient temperature. The sensory analysis was done using hedonic scale, the heat penetration study was calculated by Ball’s formula. The F0 value was found to be 3 minutes. Therefore the shelf life of the Indian traditional rice dumplingcould be increased from one day to four weeks by using retort processing technique.

Background: Honey is largely used on a small scale as well as at an industrial level in beverages, baked products, confectionaries, candies, marmalades, jams and spreads. The nutritional value of honey is very high and it is highly acceptable by the consumers due to its characteristic flavour, sweetness and texture. Hence, a study was conducted to improve the quality of value added goat meat spread enriched with honey. Methods: Honey at different levels viz. 0, 1.0%, 3.0% and 5.0% was incorporated in the value added goat meat spread for which instrumental colour, physico-chemical properties and sensory quality analysis was carried out. Result: Redness (a*) score increased significantly (p less than 0.01) high in goat meat spread after incorporation of honey but in the lightness and yellowness score there was a non significant (p greater than 0.05) increase noticed. There was no significant effect on hue and chroma due to incorporation of honey in goat meat spread. Cooking yield and spreadability were highly significant (p less than 0.01) and they increased with the increasing levels of honey as compared to control whereas, pH was decreased non significantly (p greater than 0.05). Moisture content of meat spread decreased significantly (P less than 0.05), whereas protein content increased signiûcantly (P less than 0.05) with the increasing levels of honey. Sensory qualities in respect to appearance, flavor, spreadability, texture, after taste, adhesive ability and overall acceptability score were found to be significantly (p less than 0.01) increasing in 3% incorporated honey as compared to control, 1% and 5%. On the basis of all the above observations it was concluded that 3% incorporation of honey improved the quality of goat meat spread.

Cooking becomes the meat more digestible, eating, and palatable. However, heat treatment can cause undesirable nutritional changes in meat, such as loss of minerals and vitamins, oxidation of lipids and changes in some segments of the protein fraction. The use of sous vide processing technology, which refers to cooking vacuum-sealed food in heat-stable plastic pouches under precisely monitored conditions, represents an interesting cooking alternative in terms of retains its natural sensory qualities of meat along with the nutritional value. In this paper, the research on the effect of sous vide cooking of meat on its nutritional quality is reviewed.
