Quinoa (Cheopodium quinoa), kañiwa (Cheopodium pallidicaule), kiwicha (Amaranthus caudatus) and tarwi (Lupinus mutabilis) are ancient crops from the Andean region of South America. Recently, interest in these crops has grown, and worldwide demand for them has increased considerably. The aim of this study was to study the bioactive compounds and nutritional compositions of different varieties/ecotypes of quinoa, kañiwa, kiwicha and tarwi. Proximate, mineral, dietary fibre, fatty acid and amino acid compositions were evaluated. The content of phenolic compounds, tocopherols and phytosterols, and the folic acid and antioxidant capacity, were determined as well. The protein content of the grains was between 13.00% and 20.00%. More important than protein quantity is protein quality, which is demonstrated by the composition of the amino acids. All analysed grains, and especially the kañiwa, had very high lysine content. This amino acid is especially important in vegetarian diets because it is the limiting amino acid in cereal protein. The content of the total phenolic compounds in the studied grains was 27–58 mg gallic acid/100 g of sample. In quinoa, the principal flavonoids found were quercetin and kaempferol, in kañiwa quercetin and isorhamnetin. In kiwicha, no detectable amounts of flavonoids were found. Plant sterols (phytosterols) were another group of biologically active compounds detected. Andean lupin, tarwi, is very rich in oil, which has a beneficial nutritional composition. In conclusion, all studied grains have a very high nutritional value, are interesting sources of bioactive compounds and could be used as ingredients in health-promoting functional foods.

Chicken feet and neck bones flour are the products of live stock which have a high protein and mineral content. However, they have not been utilized functionally, while they have a potential as a food ingredient and functional food source. Therefore, it is necessary to make efforts to utilize the chicken feet and neck bones flour as functional food products and new food ingredients. Both chicken feet and neck bones flour can be mixed with other raw materials which have a potential function as food sources for energy. The addition of protein and minerals from the both chicken feet and neck bones flour are expected to be able to increase the nutritional value of a product, especially for the protein and mineral content. Thus, the product is not only as an energy source but also as a source of protein and minerals. Moreover, functional food development is not only beneficial for consumers but also as an opportunity for the food industry and government

Abstract The article deals with the issues of deep processing of non-traditional plant raw materials – amaranth. The authors found that amaranth seeds of various types are a source of starch and protein, balanced in amino acid composition. A comparative assessment of the main nutrients and mineral composition of amaranth seeds with traditional crops showed that amaranth seeds are unique as raw materials for the production of biologically active additives. It is proved that a fine powder of whole-ground flour is possible to obtain by double mechanical processing of amaranth seeds with mandatory heat treatment before introduction into the recipe. It was experimentally revealed that the developed biologically active additive has a high nutritional value and functional properties, which are formed due to squalene content, essential amino acids and plant phospholipids.

Nutritional Properties

Consumers have given preferences to food products that, in addition to the nutritional properties, also present bioactive characteristics with beneficial health effects. The use of Nonconventional Food Plants (NCFP) has been an asset for the food industry, not only due to its abundance but, also, because it does not compete with other vegetable matrices used for human consumption for its nutritional properties, chemical and bioactive potentiality. The present work aimed to study the granulometry and water absorption index of three seeds of unconventional food plants: niger, millet and birdseed, followed by their nutritional value, content in free sugars, fatty acids, organic acids, tocopherols and phenolic compounds by chromatographic methods and, also, the evaluation of the antioxidant, hepatotoxic and antimicrobial potential in their hydroethanolic extracts. Bakery products were developed with a partial replacement of wheat flour, using the centroid simplex method to understand the effect of applying NCFP flours in the final physical–chemical characteristics. The high granulometry associated with the high water absorption index indicates that the use of NCFP flours would have to be complemented with other flours for baking. The chemical composition of niger seed stood out the most; however, all seeds presented relatively low IC50 and MIC values for the inhibition of lipid peroxidation and antimicrobial activity, respectively. Finally, breads made with a mixture of millet and birdseed flour showed the greatest similarity to the control bread. Considering their composition in bioactive compounds, the use of these seeds is highly advisable in the context of a fortified diet, being sources of compounds of high nutritional value and with beneficial health effects for the final consumer.

Functional ingredients have gained a large-scale development determined by the increased interest shown by consumers worldwide. Functional ingredients are bioactive compounds that can be used in the manufacture of functional food products. These bioactive compounds can be obtained from accessible materials. The use of these materials aims to transform affordable raw materials at low prices into functional ingredients concentrated in proteins, amino acids, minerals and fibres, which can be used to obtain foods with a beneficial role in health. The paper presents a series of experimental researches for obtaining and characterizing functional materials obtained from Jerusalem artichoke and hemp seeds. The samples obtained had low moisture content, between 5.11 – 5.43 % for Jerusalem artichoke and 4.8 – 5.13 % for hemp, ideal for storage and use as powder. Jerusalem artichoke registered high sugar contents (between 21.2 – 27.2 %), while hemp flour had high fat content (between 18.56 – 23.52 %), making both products suitable to be used as functional ingredients in the food industry.

Introduction. The present review covers the issues of extrusion of plant raw materials in food industry. The authors analyzed foreign publications about various extrusion technologies, their rational parameters, and their effect on the properties of final products. Study objects and methods. The research featured extrusion methods of plant raw materials in food production. The review included scientific articles published in English in 2000–2020. Results and discussion. Extrusion is an effective processing method for plant raw materials in food industry. The analysis made it possible to define the effect of extrusion parameters on the components of plant raw materials. Extrusion increases digestibility of such plant components as protein and starch. High temperature, speed, and moisture are the optimal parameters for extrusion. High barrel temperature has a negative effect on vitamin and carotene content, while feed rate and screw speed are not important. Extrusion leads to complete mycotoxins reduction at critical temperatures. While high temperature and screw speed are important for process efficiency, they have a negative effect on the nutritional value of the final product. Conclusion. Optimal parameters of various raw materials and their compounds remain largely understudied, in spite of the fact that they are responsible for the balance between the required extrudate properties and nutritional value. Formation of nutrient complexes and their effect on the process parameters also require further research, especially in regard with protein-carbohydrate and amylaselipid complexes. In general, extrusion of plant raw materials remains a promising but largely neglected research topic in food science.
