Amylose content related to the glycemic index, the higher the content of amylose the lower the glycemic index thus good for diets. Starch modification through fermentation using lactic acid bacteria can be used to increase amylose. In this experiment, modification of Square banana (Musa balbisiana) flour was conducted using Lactobacillus fermentum at certain concentration and fermentation time. This study used a Completely Randomized Factorial Designs (CRFD) with variation of fermentation time (24 hours, 48 hours, 72 hours) and concentration of bacteria starter (0.125%; 0.250%; 0.375% v/v) as the factor. Data were statistically analyzed using Two-Way ANOVA. The results showed that the variation of fermentation time and concentration of starter change physical, chemical, and sensory characteristic of the flour. Water absorption, protein content, and amylose content were increased. However whiteness index, swelling power, solubility, and moisture content were decreased. Pasting properties was change significantly after this modification process. Meanwhile, antioxidant activity and sensory characteristics did not significantly change. In conclusion, the characteristics of the modified flour offer opportunities for the development of square banana flour-based food products with high amylose which good for the diet.

Background: Thailand has one of the most important rice genetic resources with white, light brown, brown, red, and purple rice bran colors. The latter believed to have potential for health benefits due to their phenolic content. Recently researchers have indicated that starch digestive enzymes, including salivary and pancreatic α-amylases and α-glucosidases, can be inhibited by phenolic compounds. Although pasting properties of rice flour are key determinants of quality significantly impacting the final product texture, there is no in-depth study on their correlation with phenolic compound and starch digestibility.  Methods:  Rice flour from twelve varieties, three from each of five bran colors (white, brown, red, and purple), were evaluated for pasting properties (RVA-3D), total phenolic compounds, amylose content, resistant starch and estimated glycemic index.  Simple correlation coefficients were calculated for the relationships between pasting properties (final viscosity, breakdown, setback and pasting temperature) and total phenolic compounds, resistant starch and estimated glycemic index.Results: Within each rice variety, red and purple pigmented flours had higher total phenolic compounds (TPC) and more resistant starch than that of white flours. The TPC and resistant starch content of the flours ranged between 7.83- 47.3 mg/L and 2.44–10.50% respectively, and producing 60-80 of estimated glycemic index. Viscosity behavior showed that pigmented with low amylose rice had lower viscosity temperature than that of pigmented with high amylose rice flour, but higher in peak viscosity. Correlation coefficients of pasting temperature, final viscosity, break down and setback with TCP was observed to be inversely related to glycemic index. However, it was positively correlated to the resistant starch and amylose content. Conclusions:  Pigmented rice flour is a better source of TPC and resistant starch which in turn provides low glycemic index. This could help reduce the onset of type 2 diabetes and other related chronic diseases. In addition, this study provides impact of pasting behavior – TPC- resistant starch of rice flour relationships, which have important implication for utilization in food industry.Keywords: total phenolic compounds, amylose content, resistant starch, glycemic index

This work was conducted to evaluate the effect of drying methods on the nutritional values and physicochemical properties of unpeeled banana flour. Proximate, amylose content, phenolic compound, resistant starch, total dietary fibre, functional properties, pasting properties, and thermal properties of dried banana flour samples were evaluated. Three different drying methods of whole banana with the intact peel were studied including 1) hot-air unpeeled flour (HAU) (dried at 60oC for 2 h in hot-air chamber), 2) microwave-vacuum unpeeled flour (MVU) (36,000 W under vacuum -600 mmHg for 15 min in a pilot microwave-vacuum dryer), and 3) infrared unpeeled flour (IRU) (600 W for 15 min in infrared channel dryer). The HAU and MVU showed the highest yield. Drying methods did not affect the compositions of the flour but significantly affected the total dietary fibre, resistant starch, amylose content and phenolic compound of the flour. Among samples, HAU contained the highest nutritional values with outstanding functional properties, and pasting properties. The unpeeled banana flour can be utilized in various food products such as noodle, bakeries, snack or used as functional ingredients for nutritional purposes.

Rice consumed as white cooked polished grain has been considered a high glycemic index (GI) food, particularly compared with other starchy foods. However, the GI levels of rice based food can vary among different rice types and food processing technologies. Rice GI variation can be affected by several factors, such as rice variety, the genetic background of rice as well as due to crop edaphoclimatic conditions. The main difference in rice starch composition that influences GI is the amylose content. Besides the chemical composition of rice, the gelatinization characteristics and food processing can also contribute to starch retrogradation, thus increasing the level of resistant starch with a great influence on GI. To understand the glycemic response of rice types differing in amylose and viscosity profiles, four rice samples were analyzed and compared with standard and resistant HI-MAIZE corn starches. An in vitro enzymatic starch hydrolysis procedure was applied to estimate GI. The results indicate substantial differences in the starch hydrolysis of the two corn starches. Starch hydrolysis tended to be more rapid and efficient for ‘Waxy’ and ‘Ceres’ (intermediate-amylose) rice types than for ‘Maçarico’ (high-amylose rice). In addition, the data show that the Maçarico variety has the lowest estimated GI and the highest retrogradation rate compared with ‘Waxy’, ‘Ceres’ and ‘Basmati’ type. The results obtained reinforce the importance of knowing amylose content and viscosity profiles for the prediction of rice glycemic responses.

There is a growing interest in food matrixes for the use of flour from unpeeled green banana in order to reduce waste in the production chain. Considering this, the present paper aims to studying the application of unpeeled green banana flour in the cold process performed to obtain bake stable fruit filling. The unpeeled green banana pulp (Musa Cavendishii) was dried using a single rotating drum, thus obtaining the flour. The dried flour was then analyzed for its chemical composition, amylose and resistant starch content, water absorption capacity and pasting properties. The drying reduced the amount of resistant starch and produced pregelatinized starch. The obtained flour showed physical and nutritional characteristics which enabled the development of the filling formula by using a central composite design combining levels -1 and +1, two axial points (± α), two central points, and chemical composition, water activity, Brix, and texture as response variables. The amount defined by central-composite design of unpeeled green banana flour, modified starches and other ingredients resulted in an elastic, viscous, bake stable fruit filling.

Aim: the aim of this study was to determine sensory profile, through the use of just-about-right (JAR) scales and penalty analysis, of Bobolo and Chikwangue from the cassava roots fermented with previously cassava-fermented chips powder (PCFCP). Furthermore, retting time, cyanide content and pasting properties of retted roots were evaluated. Methods: for that, two samples of Bobolo and Chikwangue obtained from two cassava retting methods were studied: a control made from the retting without PCFCP and a product made from retting with PCFCP. Results: retting time was carried out in 48 hours less with PCFCP and 60% of cyanide reduction more than control. No major modifications occurs in pasting properties of paste fermented with PCFCP. The sensory analysis indicated high levels of acceptability for products made from retting with PCFCP. The penalty analysis showed that attributes “too sour” and “too much fermented odor” affected the acceptability of the Bobolo from retting without PCFCP significantly. Conclusion: fermentation of cassava through the use of PCFCP is suitable to improvement of sensory characteristics of fermented cassava by-products.

Abstract. Evaluation of the postharvest properties of nine proso millet cultivars was carried out to determine their physical and engineering properties, which are very useful for designing appropriate systems for process operations such as sorting, drying, heating, cooling, and milling. Nine cultivars of proso millet comprising waxy and non-waxy types, namely Cope, Earlybird, Huntsman, Minco, Plateau, Sunrise, Rise, Dawn, and Panhandle, were obtained from the Panhandle Research and Extension Center, University of Nebraska, Scottsbluff. Results showed significant (p < 0.05) differences in their physical properties, such as sphericity, volume, bulk density, porosity, and angle of repose, which ranged from 0.86 to 0.91, from 3.94 to 5.14 mm3, from 765.49 to 809.67 kg m-3, from 42.49% to 44.20%, and from 22.98° to 25.74°, respectively. The cultivars were also evaluated for their pasting and gelatinization properties, and high correlation was found between amylose content and onset temperature (r = -0.94), peak gelatinization temperature (r = -0.92), peak viscosity (r = 0.84), final viscosity (r = 0.91), and setback viscosity (r = 0.90). The understanding of these basic physical and functional properties of proso millet cultivars will form the foundation for processing them into value-added products. Keywords: Chemical properties, Pasting properties, Proso millet.

This study aimed to characterize physico-chemically Kefir grains and standardize the process parameters of the beverages, in order to obtain an optimum product. Kefir grains consisted basically of water (85.61 ± 0.41%) and had an acidic pH (4.45) and low acidity (0.44 ± 0.09% lactic acid). To determine the process parameters, it was used a 23 factorial design with three replications at the central point, being evaluated the amount of grain (2-6%), amount of sugar (10-14%) and fermentation time (18-24 hours) at 25oC. The amount of sugar or grains had no influence on the pH and titratable acidity. A longer fermentation time (24 hours) resulted in products with pH and acidity within the recommended values, while fewer grains (2%) did not result in too firm beverages. The formulation with the best physicochemical and sensory characteristics had 2% grain, 10% sugar and 24 hours of fermentation, being described as creamy, slightly acidic and with intermediate sweetness.

The objective of the study was to investigate the potential application of beta-glucans obtained from yeast sediment resulting from the manufacture of local Viorica wine (2018 harvest). To determine the amount of beta-glucans in the yeast sediment, two were used: the calculation method and the laboratory method, obtaining similar quantities, 29.92 ± 0.47 and 28.17 ± 0.32 respectively. The beta -glucans obtained were incorporated in various concentrations (0.1%; 0.2%; 0.3%; 0.4% and 0.5%) in the yogurt obtained from skimmed milk. The effect of beta-glucan addition on the physicochemical properties of freshly prepared yogurts was investigated. The addition of beta-glucans positively influenced the formation of the gel relay resulting in a decrease in the fermentation time of yogurt. The final pH point of 4.5 was reached one hour earlier (in 4 hours) compared to the control sample (in 5 hours). The results showed that there are no significant changes in physicochemical properties (titratable acidity, pH, viscosity and syneresis). The results obtained report that beta-glucans can be used as a thickening agent for low-fat yogurts by shortening the fermentation period and not essentially changing the sensory characteristics. Experimental results showed that the glycemic index of yogurt samples with the addition of beta-glucans have similar values in the range of 28-30. Respectively, the yogurts under study are attributed to food category with low glycemic index.
