Aims: Malnutrition among all ages is still a persistent problem in India, especially in areas where the poor largely depend on rice and wheat staples with limited access to diverse diets using underutilized foods.  This study was conducted to nutritionally enhance traditional food products like roti and lapsi utilizing suitable composite flours based on amaranth, soybean and wheat without affecting their sensory quality. Study Design: Different combinations of amaranth, soybean and wheat flours were made to suit the quality characteristics of roti and lapsi. Place and Duration of Study: Department of Foods and Nutrition, G. B. Pant University of Agriculture & Technology, Pantnagar (India), between January and June 2016. Methodology: The sensory evaluation of food products and estimation of nutritional composition of composite flours was done using standard procedures. Results: The composite flours having 25% amaranth, 15% soybean and 60% wheat flour and 25% amaranth, 10% soybean and 65% wheat flour were found to be most acceptable sensorially and were significantly superior to their control counterparts for protein, ash, fibre, carbohydrate calcium and iron content (p=.05). Conclusion: Roti made from amaranth and soybean incorporated composite flours with better protein quality and low available carbohydrates and physiological energy almost same as control would be better diet alternative to diabetic and overweight patients whereas lapsi may be effectively used as supplementary food. Many other traditional food products like laddoo, halwa, puri, parantha, burfi etc. may also be made from such composite flours.

Wheat flour is often used to prepare confectionery and baked goods, however, it can be contaminated by aporulating microorganisms contaminated during harvest or improper storage. The aim of this study was to isolate Bacillus cereus strains from different wheat flour brands and to evaluate their thermoresistance in different confectionery products. It was done in order to investigate the risks posed by food prepared with flour contaminated with B. cereus to consumers’ health. The investigation of B.cereus was realized in five brands of different wheat flours were collected and named A to E. The isolated strains were subjected to boiling tests in vitro to evaluate their thermoresistance. In addition, confectionery products were prepared with flour contaminated with B. cereus strains. These products were subjected to different cooking and B. cereus strain ATCC®30301™ was used as control. Flour brands were contaminated with B. cereus; and counts ranged from 0.25 to 1.57 log CFU/g. The strains presented higher thermoresistance in the confectionery products than in the test conducted in vitro. Based on our results, it was concluded that B. cereus strains are thermoresistant. Moreover, if the flour is contaminated with this bacterium, food products subjected to thermal treatments may remain contaminated. In addition, it is suggested that there is some mechanism (not observed in our study) that could directly influence the thermoresistance of strains found in food.

Kañawa (Chenopodium pallidicaule Aellen) is an Andean crop harvested in Bolivia and Perú. Because of the characteristics and properties of kañawa seed, its flour can be used to replace partially wheat flour in pasta to increase its nutritional value. The objective of this study was to investigate the production of fiber- and protein-enriched pasta made with wheat and kañawa blends. The effect of the substitution level of wheat by kañawa flour on pasta quality was evaluated taking into account the influence of kañawa composition on starch behavior and gluten network formation. Proximal composition, thermal behavior, and pasting properties of kañawa and wheat flours were determined. Pasta was made from wheat flour (control) replacing 10, 20, and 30% of wheat by kañawa flour from L1 and L2 ecotypes. Water absorption and cooking loss were increased showing the deleterious effect of kañawa flour on pasta quality, but the L1 ecotype showed better performance in cooking properties. Kañawa pasta firmness and chewiness decreased with the kañawa content increase; however, the L1 ecotype did not modify the firmness when 10 and 20% were included in pasta. Both kañawa flours improved the nutritional quality of pasta, increasing the dietary fiber content and protein quality.

The ability of trifoliate hardened-yam flours to partially substitute wheat flour in food formulations was assessed. Three varieties of hardened-yam flour were incorporated in wheat flour in proportions of 0, 10, 20, 30, 40, and 50% (w/w). Samples were evaluated for protein content, Zeleny sedimentation index, Hagberg falling number, functional properties (WAC, WSI, and OAC), and some rheological properties including dough rupture pressure (P), extensibility (L), stability (P/L), and deformation energy (W). Results showed that trifoliate hardened-yam flours do not have acceptable baking properties as pictured by the low Zeleny sedimentation index and the low Hagberg falling number. Protein quality (Zeleny index, 31) of wheat flour helped to compensate gluten deficit of yam flours, but the amylasic activity determined by the Hagberg falling number could not be adjusted, which resulted in a loss of extensibility (L) of the paste at 10% substitution. Multivariate analysis of experimental data regrouped wheat flour and all wheat/hardened-yam treated with kanwa composite flours in one homogeneous cluster. Although wheat/hardened-yam treated with kanwa composite flours had physicochemical and functional properties similar to wheat, the inadequate diastasic activity makes them inappropriate for bread making, marking the strongest influence of that parameter.

Incorporation of composite flour into wheat flour for bakery goods production is expected to produce an effect in the functional properties of the blended samples. Functional properties of composite flour have been studied in most of the developing countries which used and imported a large amount of wheat flour to fulfil the increasing number of consumers as the higher demand in the development of bakery and pastry products. In this review paper, the characteristics of composite flours were reviewed to determine the suitability of the raw materials to be used in the production of food products. The functional properties such as water and oil absorption capability, foam ability, emulsion capability, least gelation concentration, and particle size distribution might indicate the capability of the composite flour before proceeding to the development of food products were reviewed. The functionality of composite flour was found to be beneficial to enhance the variety of food products with acceptable appearance, organoleptic, nutrition, and low cost to fulfil consumer demands.

Classification of cassava and wheat using only amylose content is not sufficient enough to predict starch viscosity for end product recommendation, hence this study aimed at characterizing and categorizing the pasting profile of composite flours from cassava-citrus and wheat-watermelon using Rapid Visco Analyzer (RVA) (used in confectionary products), dried cassava, citrus rind, wheat grain and watermelon rind were processed into flour by grinding. Cassava-citrus and wheat-watermelon flours were blended in the ratio of 100:0, 25:75, 50:50 and 75:25 and labeled as AB1, AB2, AB3, AB4 and BC1, BC2, BC3, BC4 respectively. The data obtained from the pasting properties of composite cassava-citrus and wheat-watermelon flours are as follows: range of peak viscosity (249.6-446.0) and (97.1-116.3) RVU, trough value (158.5-251.5) and (59.5- 70.3) RVU, breakdown viscosity (91.1-184.1) and (37.6-46.0) RVU, final viscosity (222.3-509.3) and (184.4-214.2) RVU, setback viscosity (63.3-247.8) and (124.9-143.8) RVU, peak time (4.27-5.27) and (5.53- 5.67) min and pasting temperatures (72.45-73.40) and (90.40-91.25) oC. The pasting properties of wheat watermelon composite flours increased with increasing substitution of watermelon fibre while those of cassava citrus composite flours decreased with increasing substitution of citrus fibre until 50% replacement. Composite Cassava-citrus flour AB3 and wheat-watermelon flour BC1 respectively had the highest value for all the pasting properties evaluated. Hence, cassava-citrus flour AB3 with 50% citrus substitution and wheat-watermelon flour BC1 without any substitution could find applications in confectionery and pastry industries. Thus, the results also indicated that by incorporating citrus and watermelon fibre, it is possible to enhance the pasting properties of our local cassava and wheat flour. This will also serve as a way of converting wastes from citrus (citrus vesicles) and Watermelon rinds (Citrullus larnatus) into useful materials, thereby reducing environmental pollutions caused by these wastes.

This article begins with a parody, a fictitious set of regulations for the production of “traditional” Italian polenta. Through analysis of primary and secondary historical sources we then discuss the various meanings of which polenta has been the bearer through time and space in order to emphasize the mutability of the modes of preparation, ingredients, and the social value of traditional food products. Finally, we situate polenta within its broader cultural, political, and economic contexts, underlining the uses and abuses of rendering foods as traditional—a process always incomplete, often contested, never organic. In stirring up the past and present of polenta and placing it within both the projects of Italian identity creation and the broader scholarly literature on culinary tradition and taste, we emphasize that for so-called traditional foods to be saved, they must be continually reinvented.

Vital gluten is often used in baking to supplement weak wheat flours and improve their baking quality. Even with the same recipe, variable final bread volumes are common, because the functionality differs between vital gluten samples also from the same manufacturer. To understand why, the protein composition of ten vital gluten samples was investigated as well as their performance in a microbaking test depending on the water content in the dough. The gluten content and composition as well the content of free thiols and disulfide bonds of the samples were similar and not related to the specific bread volumes obtained using two dough systems, one based on a baking mixture and one based on a weak wheat flour. Variations of water addition showed that an optimal specific volume of 1.74–2.38 mL/g (baking mixture) and 4.25–5.49 mL/g (weak wheat flour) was reached for each vital gluten sample depending on its specific water absorption capacity.

This work aimed at developing fortified pastas incorporating chestnut flour (25–55%) and powdered pollen (5–20%), either separately or in combination, as well as the characterization of the products obtained. To this, a physical characterization was carried out (analyzing texture and color), complemented with chemical analyses to determine the nutritional composition. Results showed that adding chestnut flour over 40% to wheat-flour pasta shortened optimum cooking time and lowered cooking yield, and the addition to pasta prepared with wheat flour and eggs maintained approximately constant the cooking yield. Additionally, the incorporation of pollen powder (up to 20%) in pasta prepared with wheat flour and water or fresh egg shortened the cooking time and cooking yield, in both fresh and dried pasta. The most suitable percentages of the new ingredients were 50% for chestnut and 10% for pollen. Comparing with the control pasta recipe (wheat flour and egg), the addition of chestnut flour (50%) or pollen powder (10%) increased stickiness, adhesiveness and the darkening of the final product (fresh or dried) but maintained the firmness of the pasta. The cooking of fresh or dried pasta enriched with both ingredients turned the pasta clearer and slightly stickier. On the other hand, the addition of chestnut flour and pollen powder in pasta formulation delivered a nutritionally balanced product with high fiber, vitamins and minerals. Overall, chestnut flour and powdered pollen represent promising ingredients for the development of functional fresh and dried pasta formulations.
