Textural properties of extruded snack products formulated with deboned poultry meat and brewer’s spent grain

The incorporation of protein- and fibre-rich ingredients into starch-based extruded snacks is of interest for obtaining healthy products. However, development of this type of product has been limited, since protein and dietary fibre have negative effect on textural properties of extruded snacks. In the present study, response surface methodology was used in order to evaluate the effect of different ratios of mechanically deboned poultry meat (MDPM) and brewer’s spent grain (BSG), as well as screw speeds, on hardness, firmness and crispiness of the extrudates produced. Regression analysis showed that BSG and screw speed had significant effects on all textural parameters, while MDPM had a significant effect only on the crispiness of snack products.

Rye: Current state and future trends in research and applications

After wheat, rye is the second most important raw material for bread and bakery products, and it is one of the most excellent sources of dietary fibres and bioactive compounds. Besides, rye is utilised in more and more other food products as well, such as breakfast cereals, porridges, pasta, snack products, etc. Interestingly, its production is decreasing worldwide, probably because of the expansion of other cereals (e.g. triticale), but also the effect of climate change can also play a role therein. However, there is no doubt that scientific research aimed at studying the possible health benefits and the potential of rye in the development of novel food products has intensified over the past decade. The aim of our paper is to make a comprehensive review of the latest results on the compositional and technological properties of rye that fundamentally influence its utilisation for food purposes. Furthermore, this review aims to identify the current development directions and trends of rye products.

Investigation of the α-Dicarbonyl Compounds in Some Snack Foods by HPLC Using Precolumn Derivatization with 4-Nitro-1,2-Phenylenediamine

Snack foods are widely consumed in today's modern diet. Food processing techniques and food composition may increase advanced glycation products (AGEs) in snack foods. The present study aimed to determine the most potent precursors of AGEs in snack foods. For this purpose, commonly consumed some snacks foods were obtained from markets in Istanbul, Turkey. The amount of α dicarbonyl compounds (α-DCs,) glyoxal (GO), and methylglyoxal (MGO) were determined by high-performance liquid chromatography. The measured amount of GO and MGO ranged between 4-684 µg / 100 g and 28-1573 µg / 100 g in snack foods, respectively. In our study, high levels of MGO were detected in wafer hazelnut chips with cheese and peanuts. Due to their high-fat content, the formation of GO and MGO may occur through lipid peroxidation. In addition, the fragmented state of hazelnuts and peanuts in samples may increase lipid peroxidation. Free sugar content in Turkish delight and cake with fruit might contribute to the α-DCs formation by caramelization reaction due to high temperature. In conclusion, snack products that are frequently consumed have many unfavorable features for health. It is important to limit snack food consumption in terms of reducing AGEs exposure.
