Changes in the solubility of corn proteins occurring during traditional nixtamalization and extrusion processes used to produce tortillas were studied using size exclusion chromatography, SDS-PAGE and the Dumas method to measure 50% propanol-insoluble protein. Size exclusion chromatography (HPL-SEC) studies furthered the understanding of protein solubility changes during both processes. Extrusion caused more protein aggregation in tortilla intermediate and final products than traditional nixtamalization. Mixing during extrusion and in the intermediate step of masa production in the traditional nixtamalization process was critical in reducing protein solubility. Baking tortillas also considerably reduced the protein solubility for the traditional nixtamalization process. Baking produced aggregation that could not be disrupted with a reducing agent.  相似文献

The chemical composition and the components of corn grain affect the quality of tortillas produced from extruded instant corn flour (EICF). We have studied the effects of various types of corn lipids added at several concentrations to the regular raw corn flour before processing. The structural properties of flour, the effective moisture diffusion coefficient and the weight loss during cooking of fresh masa, as well as the textural characteristics of tortillas were analysed as a function of concentration and type of corn lipid added. The concentration of added lipid ranged from 0·5 to 2% (w/w). Each type and concentration of lipid was observed to have a different effect in the quality of masas and tortillas. Commercially it is desired to have tortillas with good properties and a high yield, that is, optimum weight transformation from corn to tortilla. From our analysis, the lowest dehydration rate (lowest effective moisture diffusion coefficient) and the best physicochemical and textural characteristics of fresh masas and tortillas were obtained from flour supplemented with 0·5% (w/w) of the nonpolar lipid fraction III. The loss in starch crystallinity due to the cooking process of masa into tortilla was similar in all treatments.  相似文献

This study aimed to evaluate the effect of sorghum and sweet potato on the bioavailability of iron, gene expression of proteins involved in iron metabolism and the plasma antioxidant capacity in animals fed with whole sorghum grains processed by dry heat or extrusion, combined or not with sweet potato flour with high content of carotenoids. Five experimental groups were tested (n = 7): dry heat sorghum flour (DS); extruded sorghum flour (ES); whole sorghum flour + sweet potato flour (DS + SP); extruded sorghum flour + sweet potato flour (ES + SP) and positive control (FS). The evaluations included: hemoglobin gain, hemoglobin regeneration efficiency, gene expression of divalente metal transporter 1 (DMT-1), duodenal citochroma B (DcytB), ferroportin, hephaestin, transferrin and ferritin and total plasma antioxidant capacity (TAC). The ES + SP group showed higher (p < 0.05) expression of DcytB, ferroportin and hephaestin when compared to the control group. The DS group showed high (p < 0.05) expression of DMT-1 and the ES showed high mRNA expression of transferrin and ferritin. The changes in the sorghum physicochemical properties from extrusion process reduced the iron and phytate content, and increased the gene expression of proteins involved in iron metabolism, improving iron bioavailability. The combination of sweet potato and sorghum flour (dry or extruded) improved the iron capture and total antioxidant capacity, probably due to the presence of β-carotene and antioxidant compounds.  相似文献

Corn grits and corn fiber mixed at different mass ratios (0/100, 15/85 and 30/70) were extruded at different melt temperature (90, 105 and 120 °C) using extrusion with and without CO2 injection. The L value, reducing sugar content and antioxidant properties decreased after extrusion with or without CO2 injection. The color and antioxidant properties were relatively stable in the extrusion with CO2 injection at higher melt temperature (120 °C) in comparison with the extrusion without CO2 injection. Higher corn fiber content resulted in less loss of total phenolic content. The b, ΔE values and water absorption index increased after extrusion. The increase of the water absorption index was higher after the extrusion process with the CO2 injection especially at the lower melt temperature. The addition of corn fiber decreased L, b, and ΔE values, but significantly increased antioxidant properties under the same extrusion conditions.  相似文献

The potential use of quality protein transgenic maize (genetically modified maize with the cDNA of amarantin) for preparation of flour and tortillas through an extrusion lime cooking process was investigated. Tortillas from extruded transgenic maize flour had similar physicochemical and sensory properties than those from the commercial brand MASECA™; however, the former had the highest (P < 0.05) protein content (12.91 vs 8.93%, db), essential amino acids content, calculated protein efficiency ratio (C-PER; 2.27 vs 0.90) and protein digestibility corrected amino acid score (PDCAAS; 55.54 vs 30.18%) and therefore they were nutritionally better. The use of transgenic maize for flour and tortilla preparation through an extrusion lime cooking process may have a positive impact on the nutritional status of people from countries where maize is the basic staple food. It also represents an alternative process to nixtamalization that requires little energy and water, it does not generate wastewater, and all components of the maize kernel are retained.  相似文献

Glycemic responses to most of the conventional breads are high, including breads made of wholemeal flour. Baking technology is known to affect these responses. The aim of the present study was to investigate effects of xylanase enzyme treatment and sourdough fermentation in wholemeal wheat bread baking on postprandial glucose and insulin responses and on in vitro protein digestibility. The wheat breads were made of 100% flour from peeled kernels by a straight dough or sourdough fermentation method, and with or without using xylanase during mixing of dough. Standard white wheat bread was used as a reference. All test bread portions contained 50 g available carbohydrate and were served in random order to eleven insulin resistant subjects. Blood samples for measuring glucose and insulin concentrations were drawn over 4 h. The sourdough wholemeal wheat bread resulted in the lowest postprandial glucose and insulin responses among the four tested breads (treatment × time; p = 0.000 and p = 0.022, respectively). There were differences in solubility and depolymerisation of protein and arabinoxylan among the breads but these did not fully explain the in vivo findings. In conclusion, the health effects of wholemeal wheat bread can be further improved by using sourdough process in breadmaking.  相似文献

Addition of xylanases (EC 3.2.1.8) that varied in their substrate selectivities and/or wheat xylanase inhibitor sensitivities in dough batter gluten–starch separation of wheat flour showed the importance of these enzyme characteristics for their functionality in this process. A xylanase from Aspergillus aculeatus (XAA) with selectivity for hydrolysis of water extractable arabinoxylan (WE-AX), which is not inhibited by wheat flour xylanase inhibitors decreased batter viscosity and improved gluten agglomeration behaviour. In contrast, a xylanase from Bacillus subtilis (XBSi) with selectivity for hydrolysis of water unextractable arabinoxylan (WU-AX), which is in vitro inhibited by wheat flour xylanase inhibitors had a negative effect on gluten agglomeration at low enzyme dosages. As expected, solubilisation of WU-AX increased batter viscosities. At higher dosages however, this enzyme also improved gluten agglomeration because of degradation of both WE-AX and enzymically solubilised AX. A mutated B. subtilis xylanase (XBSni) with selectivity for hydrolysis of WU-AX comparable to XBSi but which is not inhibited by wheat flour xylanase inhibitors, increased the level of large gluten aggregates as well as the total gluten protein recovery, even at lower dosages. Because of its inhibitor insensitivity, the solubilisation and degradation of AX proceeded further. An XBSni dosage approximately 4 times lower than XBSi performed as well as its inhibited counterpart. The degradation of both WE-AX and WU-AX by XBSni improved the gluten agglomeration behaviour to a larger extent than the XAA treatment which primarily resulted in hydrolysis of WE-AX. The results confirm the detrimental impact not only of WE-AX, but also of WU-AX, on gluten agglomeration in a dough batter gluten–starch separation process. At the same time, they provide firm evidence that xylanases are not only inhibited by xylanase inhibitors in vitro, but are also partly inhibited in the industrial process in which they are used.  相似文献

The effect of extrusion on characteristics of destarched corn fiber was investigated. Extrusion was conducted at a screw speed of 300 rpm, feed rate of 100 g/min, feed moisture content of 30%, melt temperature of 140 °C and die diameter of 3 mm. After extrusion, characteristics of raw and extruded destarched corn fiber were compared. Raw and extruded destarched corn fibers were enzymatically saccharified and fermented using Saccharomyces cerevisiae (ATCC 24858). Extrusion pretreatment resulted in low crystallinity index, significant decrease in degree of polymerization and microstructure disruption of destarched corn fiber for enzymatic saccharification. This provides a significant increase in xylose yield for fermentation. Significant increase in protein digestibility and free amino nitrogen were additional benefits of extrusion for yeast nutrient in fermentation. Therefore, extruded destarched corn fiber significantly increased (p < 0.05) ethanol yield (29.08 g/L) and higher conversion (88.79%) by improving the physiochemical and functional properties for saccharification and fermentation.  相似文献

The properties of oat flour can be manipulated by processing to suit various consumption and product development needs. In this work, three different processes typically used on oat flour, namely the extrusion, drum drying and enzyme-treatment spray drying process were evaluated with respect to how each process changes the quality of the oat flour. Results showed that the extrusion process produced oat flour with the best flow ability while the enzyme-treated spray drying process led to the lowest flowability. The color of enzyme-treated spray-drying oat flour was the brightest while the oat flours turned darker after extrusion and drum drying. In addition, drum dried oat flour had the highest capability to hold water. In terms of particle size distribution, the extruded and drum dried oat flour showed smaller particle size and the particle had less complete and irregular surfaces. On the other hand, the enzyme-treated spray-drying samples showed the best particle uniformity and sphericity. The viscosity of all the treated oat flour decreased with increasing shear rate, indicating the shear thinning behavior, and a weak gel-like behavior with very high viscosity was obtained via drum drying. The results reported here can be useful and provide a baseline to fully understand how the oat flour properties changes with different processing methods to offer a wider opportunity in using oat flour for food product fortification and design.  相似文献

This study was conducted to evaluate sorghum flour as protein extender in phenol-formaldehyde-based plywood adhesive for sprayline coaters or foam extrusion. Defatted sorghum flour, containing 0.2% (db) residual oil and 12.0% (db) crude protein, was analyzed for solubility and foaming properties. Sorghum flour proteins were least soluble (≤12%) under acidic pH, most soluble (72%) at pH 10, and produced substantial and highly stable foam at pH 10. Sorghum flour was substituted (on protein content basis) for wheat flour in the standard glue mix. Mixing properties and bond strength of the sorghum-based glue were compared with those of the industry standard glue. The sorghum flour-based adhesive had mixing properties and appearance that were superior to those of the standard wheat flour-based plywood glue, but its viscosity and bond strength were markedly less. Doubling the amount of protein contributed by sorghum flour in the glue mix markedly improved both viscosity (1104 cP) and adhesion strength (1.37 MPa) of the sorghum-based plywood glue to acceptable levels. The modified sorghum flour-based plywood glue also produced foam that remained stable up to 3 h. These results demonstrated that sorghum flour is a viable extender in plywood glues for sprayline coater or foam extrusion.  相似文献

Whole grain oat flour was extruded under different moisture contents (15%, 18%, 21%), barrel temperatures (100 °C, 130 °C), and screw speeds (160 rpm, 300 rpm, 450 rpm), and selected physicochemical properties, in vitro starch digestibility, and β-glucan extractability of the extrudates were analyzed. An increase in screw speed resulted in an increase in radial expansion index, water absorption index, and water solubility index. Screw speed significantly affected slowly and rapidly digestible starch. Moderate screw speed (300 rpm) led to higher slowly digestible starch with an accompanying decrease in rapidly digestible starch. Low moisture conditions (15%) resulted in the highest resistant starch and water-extractable β-glucan. Under the conditions used in this study, extrusion did not result in changes in water-extractable β-glucan molecular weight. Thus, extrusion might be beneficial in improving functionality and consumer acceptability by affecting physicochemical properties, in vitro starch digestibility, and β-glucan extractability of oat extrudates.  相似文献

The pasta protein network limits starch hydrolysis rate in vivo leading to low post-prandial glycemia. To better understand the mechanisms involved, various pasta products were processed to obtain protein network structures differing from that in reference pasta extruded at 40 °C and dried 17 h at 55 °C. After cooking, pasta strands were submitted to in vitro alpha -amylolysis. Compared to reference pasta, higher extrusion temperature (70 °C), high-temperature drying treatment (2 h at 90 °C) or autoclaving (115 °C for 15 or 40 min) had no marked effect on the rate of dextrin release from pasta particles. Protein enrichment at a 20%-level and flour fractionation-reconstruction with removal of insoluble fibre before pasta extrusion significantly (p<0·05) delayed (≥1 h) the rate of dextrin release (−14% at 8 h). Confocal laser scanning microscopy allowed the three-dimensional structure of the protein network from protein-enriched pasta to be observed, and suggested that increased starch encapsulation may explain the reduced accessibility of starch to alpha -amylases. A stronger cohesiveness between starch and protein, due to insoluble fibre removal, was probably responsible for the decrease of starch accessibility to alpha -amylase in fractionated-reconstructed flour pasta. Modified geometrical characteristics (e.gtortuosity) of the protein network were not correlated with starch degradation rates.  相似文献

The effects of extrusion conditions on cooking degree, flour dispersion viscosity and mineral potential availability of extruded bean flour were studied. Phaseolus vulgaris beans of the agronomic cultivar “Flor de mayo” were ground and dehulled to obtain grits and then extruded at different temperatures (140, 160 and 180 °C) and moisture contents (17, 20 and 23%), according to a bifactorial experimental design. Degree of cooking was estimated by water solubility (WS) and specific mechanical energy (SME). The effect of variables on WS and SME were analysed by surface response methodology. Flour dispersion viscosity and mineral availability (estimated by in vitro dialyzability), were also evaluated on selected samples. Results showed that, within the ranges of the variables used for this study, only the effect of temperature was significant on the degree of cooking. No direct correlation was observed between water solubility and SME, although a maximum value of WS corresponded to a range of SME values of 400–500 J/g was observed. Dispersion viscosity decreases as WS increases, so if high calorie density is desired, for instance in order to produce a cream soup formula, bean grits should be extruded at high temperature and as low moisture as possible, in our case 180 °C and 17% moisture. On the other hand, the effects of extrusion variables on iron and zinc dialyzability were not much affected.  相似文献

Malnutrition is one of the major causes of morbidity and mortality among young children in most of the developing countries. To minimize the adversities of malnutrition, low-cost infant supplementary foods have been developed and are being supplied to the needy through state-sponsored nutrition intervention programmers. The present study had two objectives: to determine the best combination of nixtamalized extruded quality protein maize (NEMF) and extruded chickpea (ECF) flours for producing a weaning food, and to evaluate the nutritional properties of the optimized NEMF/ECF mixture and the weaning food. The NEMF and ECF were produced applying combinations of extrusion temperature/screw speed of 79.4°C/73.5 rpm, and 150.5°C/190.5 rpm, respectively. Response surface methodology was applied to determine the optimum combination NEMF/ECF; the experimental design generated 11 assays. Mixtures from each assay were evaluated for true protein (TP) and available lysine (AL). Each one of 11 mixtures were used for preparing 11 weaning foods which were sensory evaluated for acceptability (A). The best combination of NEMF/ECF for producing a weaning food was NEMF = 21.2%/ ECF = 78.8 %. This mixture had a global desirability (D) of 0.93; it contained 20.07% proteins (DM), 5.70% lipids (DM), and 71.14% carbohydrates (DM); its essential amino acids (EAA) profile satisfactorily covered the EAA requirements for children 2–5 years old, except for Trp. The weaning food prepared with the optimized mixture had high protein quality and digestibility and could be used to support the growth of infants.  相似文献

Hydrophilic biopolymer systems reach a state of maximum plasticization at a concentration of water designated as Wg′. The thermomechanical behaviour of various extruded cereals were investigated at concentrations above and below Wg′ to determine the significance of Wg′ on the viscoelastic properties in the rubbery region above Tg. Cereal melts were produced via extrusion cooking using a twin-screw extruder at in-barrel moisture contents ranging from 25 to 42% (wb). Dynamic mechanical thermal analysis (DMTA) was used to determine the viscoelastic properties for melts obtained from degermed corn meal, oat flour, pregelatinized corn starch and pregelatinized waxy maize. All of the extruded melts displayed reductions in the storage modulus of about two orders of magnitude from the glassy to rubbery regimes. At temperatures greater than 320K, another transition is apparent for extruded oat flour. These losses may be attributed to a reduction in physical crosslinks and/or entanglements. With respect to the other melts investigated, differences in the oat flour melts at temperatures above Tgmay be due to the increased presence of protein and lipid. Given the apparent partly crystalline nature of these melts at moisture contents <Wg′, the most appropriate representation of the viscoelastic properties may be isotimic plots of the viscoelastic functions. These contour plots provide a more comprehensive guide to material behaviour than the ‘traditional’ state diagrams found throughout the literature. An important point is that prediction of viscoelastic properties above Tgfor polymers where the internal structure changes with temperature or moisture content, cannot be predicted using the same methods of reduced variables as for amorphous polymers. Thus rather than using these methods, experimental data, such as given here, may prove to be necessary to design or understand processes involving cereal melts based on their viscoelastic properties.  相似文献

Whole wheat is well known by consumers as a health-providing ingredient. Nevertheless, in extruded products it leads to textures that are less favorable to consumer preference compared to its refined flour. An understanding of the effect of extrusion on whole wheat properties is therefore necessary to improve its texture. Whole wheat flour was extruded under varying conditions of water content (18 or 22%), screw speed (400 or 800 rpm) and barrel temperature (140 or 180 °C) and its physicochemical properties were measured. Changing the extrusion conditions significantly modified the volumetric expansion index (between 9.1 and 20.6) and longitudinal expansion (between 0.93 and 2.98) of the samples. Interestingly, changing the extrusion conditions did not significantly modify the sectional expansion. Increasing barrel temperature, water content or screw speed decreased the shear viscosity of the melt. This can be explained by plasticizing effects and modification of starch properties. The change in shear viscosity at the die can mostly explain the effect of process conditions on volumetric expansion of the extruded whole wheat. The stress at rupture of the extruded samples was varied between 0.49 and 1.86 MPa depending on process conditions. It was the lowest at high water content and low screw speed.  相似文献

Extruded wheat flours, due to their increased water absorption capacity, constitute an opportunity to increase bread output in bakery production. However extrusion may modify dough and bread characteristics. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of the substitution of 5% of the wheat flour by extruded wheat flour (produced with different time-temperature extrusion treatments) on dough mixing, handling and fermentation behaviour and bread volume, shape, texture and colour. The RVA curves indicate that extrusion intensity increases with increasing temperature or water content. Water absorption capacity rises with increasing treatment intensity, but dough stability tends to decrease. Adding extruded flours decreases dough extensibility but increases tenacity and gas production. Differences in dough structure were observed on photomicrography, though there were no clear differences in bread quality. These results indicate that it is possible to obtain adequate dough and bread characteristics using dough with 5% extruded wheat flour.  相似文献

The effect of feed moisture content (10, 14 and 18%) and die temperature (110 and 160 °C) on functional properties, specific mechanical energy (SME), morphology, thermal properties, X-ray diffraction pattern (XRD), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and amylose-lipid complex formation of extruded sorghum flour was investigated. Results showed that the extrusion cooking significantly changed the functional properties of extruded sorghum flour. Increasing feed moisture increased the peak gelatinization temperature (Tp), the degree of gelatinization (%) and starch crystallinity (%) while it decreased the gelatinization temperature ranges (Tc - T0), starch gelatinization enthalpy (ΔHG) and amylose-lipid complex (%) formation. With increasing die temperature, the degree of gelatinization and amylose-lipid complex formation increased and the starch Tp, Tc-T0, ΔHG and crystallinity decreased. The FTIR spectra also showed that the extrusion cooking did not create new functional groups or eliminate them in sorghum protein, whereas the sorghum extrudate protein had random coil conformation.  相似文献

In this study effects of extrusion cooking on enzyme resistant starch (RS) formation in high amylose corn starches (Hylon V and VII) and the functional properties of RS preparations were investigated. Native starches were extruded at 50, 60, 70% feed moisture contents, at constant screw speed (100 rpm) and barrel temperature (140 °C). Among these samples, the highest RS contents were observed at 60% feed moisture. Therefore, feed moisture in the second and third extrusion cycles was set at 60%. There were significant increases in RS contents of both Hylon V and Hylon VII after the second extrusion cycle (p < 0.05). After the third extrusion, the RS levels reached to 40.0 and 45.1% for Hylon V and Hylon VII, respectively. Substantial loss of birefringence in these samples indicated that the increases in RS were mainly due to RS3 formation. The RS samples produced by extrusion did not have high emulsion capacity, but the ones produced from Hylon VII had high emulsion stability. Although, decreases in L* and increases in b* values of extruded samples were significant as compared to respective native starches, the changes were not substantial. Therefore, their incorporation is not expected to cause major changes in the colour of end-products.  相似文献
