CHARACTERISTIC OF PHYSICOCHEMICAL AND SENSORY CASSAVA STICK WITH THE SUBSTITUTION OF FERMENTED CASSAVA BAGASSE FLOUR

<div class="WordSection1"><p class="Abstrak"><span lang="EN-GB">Part of the cassava that can be used as a food product is usually starch and and the waste is cassava bagasse. Fermented cassava bagasse flour is a modified semi-solid fermentation product using yeast <em>Saccharomyces</em> <em>cerevisiae </em>which has almost the same quality as modified cassava flour (mocaf), but fermented cassava bagasse flour has advantages compared to mocaf flour, namely high protein content and cheaper production costs. Fermented cassava bagasse flour has various functions which can be used as raw material for the manufacture of various processed products, one of which is cassava stick. The research objective was to see the formulation of fermented cassava bagasse flour to the sensory characteristics of the resulting cassava stick. The study was conducted using a completely randomized design (CRD) including 5 treatment methods, namely cassava starch substituted by fermented cassava bagasse flour 5% (B1), 10% (B2), 15% (B3), 20% (B4) and 25% (B5), each treatment was repeated 3 times. Based on the sensory results, it was obtained that 15% (B3) fermented cassava bagasse flour substitution treatment was the best choice of cassava stick product by panelists. The results of the analysis of cassava stick products were hardness test 3,77 µ (kg / cm²) ; swelling ratio 18,33% ; moisture content 2,20% ; ash content 0,14% ; protein content 10,00% ; fat content 21,00% ; fiber content 0,17%; carbohydrate content 66,49% and total dietary fiber 21,24%.</span></p></div>

The research was aimed to obtain an optimal formula of composite flour that was made of fermented cassava bagasse flour (FCBF), tapioca, and xanthan gum (XG) to produce composite flour with best characteristics quality as gluten-free flour. Optimization of the composite flour characteristics was done using the response surface methodology with the central composite design model. Optimization results using numerical methods shown that the optimal characteristics of composite flour were obtained in formulas 1) FCBF: 82.46%, tapioca: 17.54%, XG: 0.10%, 2) FCBF: 83.85%, tapioca: 16.15%, XG: 0.10%, and 3) FCBF: 84.13%, tapioca: 15.87%, XG: 0.10%. The optimal formulas were analyzed for pasting characteristics, including peak temperature, maximum viscosity, trough viscosity, final viscosity, retrogradation viscosity, and setback viscosity. The results of pasting characteristic test on optimal formulation showed that FCBF formulation: 82.64%, tapioca: 17.50%, XG: 0.10% had the best pasting properties with peak viscosity of 215 BU, trough viscosity of 166 BU, final viscosity of 217 BU, retrogradation viscosity of 208 BU, and setback viscosity of 49 BU. As conclusion, formula of FCBF: 82.64%, tapioca: 17.50%, XG: 0.10% was chosen as the best formula to produce gluten-free flour from local raw materials.

Technological and scientific prospecting of sugar cane bagasse flour (saccharum officinarum l.)

Sugar cane bagasse flour (Saccharum officinarum L.) is a promising product and has great market potential with application in human food. With the help of technological and scientific prospecting, it is possible to guide and cover the view on research about the use of this material in the area of food science. With that, the objective was to investigate the existence of the development of sugarcane bagasse flour in technological and scientific databases. The patent bases analyzed were the National Institute of Industrial Property (NIIP), the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO), the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) and the Espacenet Patent Search database. The scientific platforms analyzed were Scientific Electronic Library Online (SciELO), Web of Science, Pubmed and Portal Periódicos Capes (Brazil). Brazil has made progress in intellectual production on patent bases, however, no technological and / or scientific record has been identified regarding the use of flour for human consumption in the analyzed period. From this, it is necessary, then, to carry out research on the food potential of this flour, mainly in Brazil, since the country is considered the largest producer of sugarcane, having a vast material to be explored, developing functionality in the development of new products and increasing intellectual property in the area.

Perubahan Karakteristik Fisikokimia Tepung Onggok Selama Proses Fermentasi Semi Padat Menggunakan Saccharomyces cerevisiae

Cassava bagasse is a by-product of tapioca industry whose use as food is relatively limited.The improvement of the cassava bagasse flour characteristics as a food ingredient can bedone through a semi-solid fermentation process. The aim of this study was to examine thechanges in physicochemical characteristics of cassava bagasse flour during the semi-solidfermentation process using Saccharomyces cerevisiae. The semi-solid fermentation processwas carried out for 0 days (control), 1 day, 2 days, 3 days, 4 days, and 5 days. Observationsof physicochemical characteristics include pasting characteristics, microstructure, waterabsorption index, and water solubility index. The results showed that the fermentationprocess had no effect on the gelatinization temperature but affected the viscosity of thecassava bagasse flour; during fermentation, liberation and erosion of the starch granule willbe more intense occur, as well as an increase in water absorption index and water solubilityindex.

The influence of bio-fibers from different pulping processes on the pulp-polylactic acid composites (PPCs) properties from sugarcane bagasse

Pulp-polylactic acid composites (PPCs) with monoethanolamine, alkaline sulfite-anthraquinone, unbleached and bleached soda bagasse pulps and polylactic acid (PLA) were successfully fabricated using twin-screw extrusion. The results were compared with bagasse flour-PLA composites (WPCs) as reference. The results indicated that the mechanical strengths of produced composites with pulp fibers were increased compared to the neat PLA and bagasse flour-PLA composites. Monoethanolamine and alkaline sulfite-anthraquinone fibers due to their surface chemical structure had a superior compatibility with PLA compared with other used bio-fibers which has been confirmed by SEM micrographs too. FTIR was used to investigate the effect of different chemical treatments on the bio-fibers. The results of XRD analysis showed that the crystallinity of PPCs was substantially improved by incorporation with pulp fibers compared to WPCs composites. The water absorption of the PPCs is different due to using the diverse bio-fibers. According to DMA analysis, the tan delta was substantially decreased when PLA was reinforced by different bio-fibers. The biodegradation of green composites were characterized and the results showed that the biodegradability of the PLA was increased due to addition of bagasse pulp biofibers.

Production of Nutritious Flour from Residue Custard Apple (Annona squamosa L.) for the Development of New Products

Currently, the fruit processing industry generates a high volume of waste in fruits that have not reached a quality standard for consumption or by-products generated throughout the production process. To reduce this waste, mitigating measures, such as reuse in food formulations, have been proposed. In this work the custard apple bagasse flour (Annona squamosa L.) (CAB) was produced and incorporated into cookie formulations in different proportions (5 to 50%) evaluating its acceptability. The CAB flour was characterized by physicochemical analysis, proximate composition, mineral analysis, determination of the phenolic content, and antioxidant capacity. The results of the physicochemical and proximate characterizations show that the processed flour presents values and specifications suitable for food formulations. The mineral composition of the CAB flour responds to more than 20% of the daily intake of nutrients, highlighting the Cu, Fe, Mn, Zn, Ca, and Mg. The composition of phenolic compounds for CAB flour and cookies formulations presented values ranging from 200 to 658 mg GAE/100 g, similar to flour and formulations prepared of residues tropical fruit, while DPPH• inhibition showed a variation of 9.68–10.75%. Cookies made from the CAB flour showed high acceptability making the flour promising in the nutritional incorporation in food formulations.
