Can hydro-thermo-mechanical treatment by instant controlled pressure-drop (DIC) be used as short time roasting process? Effect of processing parameters on sensory, physical, functional, and color attributes of Egyptian carob powder.

ABSTRACT: This study deals with the manufacture of a specific cocoa-like powder from Egyptian carob. The crucial unit operation consists of texturing/roasting unseeded carob kibbles, with the aim being to ensure perfect control of the chemical transformations that generate the desired flavor, drying to remove excess moisture, deodorizing to eliminate the undesirable flavor, and texturing to favor the physical/micro-mechanical changes that regulate the microstructure of the end product, in order to obtain an expanded-granule powder that can be used in many food formulations. The effect of saturated steam pressure of 0.30-0.60 MPa (133.5-158.8 °C) and processing time of 40-70 s, on the sensory attributes, physical and functional properties, and color characteristics were evaluated and optimized using response surface methodology (RSM). DIC-texturing/roasting could be used to improve the sensory and color characteristics, increase the expansion ratio and oil holding capacity, and decrease the bulk density of DIC-textured/roasted carob powder. The desired quality of textured/roasted carob powder was obtained at 0.60 MPa (158.8 °C) for 55 s (experimental conditions) with water holding capacity close to those of non-textured/unroasted sample. DIC can be used as a coupled process of texturing and roasting at 0.60 MPa for 68 s as predicted by RSM.

Influence of Instant Controlled Pressure Drop (DIC) on Allergenic Potential of Tree Nuts.

Project description:Pistachio and cashew contain allergenic proteins, which causes them to be removed from the diet of allergic people. Previous studies have demonstrated that food processing (thermal and non-thermal) can produce structural and/or conformational changes in proteins by altering their allergenic capacity. In this study, the influence of instant controlled pressure drop (DIC) on pistachio and cashew allergenic capacity has been studied. Western blot was carried out using IgG anti-11S and anti-2S and IgE antibodies from sera of patients sensitized to pistachio and cashew. DIC processing causes changes in the electrophoretic pattern, reducing the number and intensity of protein bands, as the pressure and temperature treatment increment, which results in a remarkable decrease in detection of potentially allergenic proteins. The harshest conditions of DIC (7 bar, 120 s) markedly reduce the immunodetection of allergenic proteins, not only by using IgG (anti 11S and anti 2S) but also when IgE sera from sensitized patients were used for Western blots. Such immunodetection is more affected in pistachio than in cashew nuts, but is not completely removed. Therefore, cashew proteins are possibly more resistant than pistachio proteins. According these findings, instant controlled pressure drop (DIC) can be considered a suitable technique in order to obtain hypoallergenic tree nut flour to be used in the food industry.

Effect of Instant Controlled Pressure Drop (DIC) Treatment on the Detection of Nut Allergens by Real Time PCR.

Project description:Tree nuts show nutritional properties and human health benefits. However, they contain allergenic proteins, which make them harmful to the sensitised population. The presence of tree nuts on food labelling is mandatory and, consequently, the development of suitable analytical methodologies to detect nuts in processed foods is advisable. Real-Time PCR allowed a specific and accurate amplification of allergen sequences. Some food processing methods could induce structural and/or conformational changes in proteins by altering their allergenic capacity, as well as produce the fragmentation and/or degradation of genomic DNA. In this work, we analysed by means of Real-Time PCR, the influence of pressure and thermal processing through Instant Controlled Pressure Drop (DIC) on the detectability of hazelnut, pistachio and cashew allergens. The detection of targets in hazelnut, pistachio and cashew (Cor a 9, Pis v 1 and Ana o 1, respectively) is affected by the treatment to different extents depending on the tree nut. Results are compared to those previously obtained by our group in the analysis of different treatments on the amplificability of the same targets. Reduction in amplificability is similar to that reported for some autoclave conditions. Our assays might allow for the detection of up to 1000 mg/kg of hazelnut, pistachio and cashew flours after being submitted to DIC treatment in food matrices.

Degree of roasting of carob flour affecting the properties of gluten-free cakes and cookies.

Project description:Carob flour is a product rich in fibre obtained from by-products of the locust bean gum extraction processing. The flour is commercialised with different degrees of roasting in order to improve its organoleptic characteristics. In this study, carob flour with three different roasting degrees was used to replace rice flour (15%) in gluten-free cakes and cookies. The influence of this replacement was studied on the psychochemical characteristics and acceptability of the final products. The incorporation of carob flour increased the viscosity of cake batters and increased the solid elastic-like behaviour of the cookie doughs, indicating a stronger interaction among the formula ingredients. The inclusion of carob flour, with a low time of roasting, did not lead to any significant differences in the specific volume and hardness of the cakes, but reduced cake staling and the thickness and width of the cookies. Darker colours were obtained when carob flour was incorporated into the product. The acceptability of cakes was only reduced with the addition of highly roasted carob flour, while in the case of cookies there was a decline in the acceptability of all carob flour cookies, which was mostly perceived with the highest roasting degree, something mainly attributed to the bitter taste of the products.

Instant fabrication and selection of folded structures using drop impact.

Project description:A drop impacting a target cutout in a thin polymer film is wrapped by the film in a dynamic sequence involving both capillary forces and inertia. Different 3D structures can be produced from a given target by slightly varying the impact parameters. A simplified model for a nonlinear dynamic Elastica coupled with a drop successfully explains this shape selection and yields detailed quantitative agreement with experiments. This first venture into the largely unexplored dynamics of elastocapillary assemblies opens up the perspective of mass production of 3D packages with individual shape selection.

Effect of Replacing Cocoa Powder by Carob Powder in the Muffins on Sensory and Physicochemical Properties.

Project description:The increasing demand for cocoa and search for ingredients rich in bioactive compounds encouraged us to investigate the possibility of replacing it by carob powder in the muffins containing soy beans, sesame oil and flaxseeds. There was 5% addition of carob or cocoa powder to the individual doughs. The muffins with the addition of carob were characterized by improved antiradical activity (by 36% - 2,2'-azino-bis (3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid) (ABTS) method, by 83% - 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) method), higher content of genistein (18%) and total phytosterols (17%) in the dry mass. The color differences in the carob muffins crusts were not perceptible by consumers (?E?=?0.70 for crust, ?E?=?5.6 for crumb) and their taste was found to be less bitter and sweeter than the taste of cocoa muffins. Moreover, the addition of carob powder as well as cocoa powder resulted in good sensory quality. The high content of phytosterols, genistein and improved antiradical properties proved carob to be a source of bioactive compounds. The results show that carob powder may be used as valuable alternative muffin ingredient to cocoa.

Optimization of microwave roasting of peanuts and evaluation of its physicochemical and sensory attributes.

Project description:In this study, the microwave (MW) roasting (MWR) of peanuts (Arachis hypogaea L.) is attempted, optimized and compared with conventional drum roasting. A two factor/three level face centered composite design based MWR experiments was conducted at different roasting time (60, 180 and 300 s) and MW power levels (180, 540 and 900 W). The roasting quality was analyzed by physicochemical and sensory attributes of roasted peanuts and extracted oil viz., moisture loss, hardness, browning index (BI), induction period (IP) based on Rancimat, peroxide value (PV) and overall acceptability (OA), respectively. A roasting time and MW power dependent improvement in the desired quality of roasted peanuts and extracted oil was observed attributable to the formation of antioxidant Maillard reaction compounds. A second order polynomial model adequately described the roasting experimental data (p < 0.0001, R2 > 0.90) with an insignificant lack of fit (p > 0.05). Using response surface methodology, the MWR was optimized at roasting time of 201 s and MW power level of 900 W which yielded favorable values of quality attributes (moisture loss, 3.06%; hardness, 4528.34 g; BI, 58.89; IP, 8.12 h; PV, 8.80 milliequivalents O2/kg; OA, 6.40). Furthermore, the quality assessment of ground peanuts for selected time-power combinations (low, optimum and high roasts) was attempted using scanning electron microscopy, electronic nose and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy which revealed better quality of optimized MWR peanuts.

Effect of Roasting Time and Cryogenic Milling on the Physicochemical Characteristics of Dried Ginseng Powder.

Project description:This study aimed to evaluate the effect of reduced particle size of ginseng by roasting and cryogenic milling on increasing its water solubility and physiological activity. The samples were roasted for different times (9-21 min) and generated in different sizes (10-50, and >50 ?m). All roasted samples revealed significantly smaller particle sizes than did non-roasted samples, based on Sauter mean diameter (D [3,2], p < 0.05). Furthermore, the particle sizes of roasted samples decreased until roasting up to 15 min. In terms of the water solubility index (WSI), antioxidant activity, total polyphenol content (TPC), and total polysaccharides according to particle size, 10-20 ?m-sized samples showed the highest values when compared with >50 ?m-sized samples. Based on roasting time, WSI values of all samples roasted for up to 15 min were higher than those of the control (not roasted) (p < 0.05). Antioxidant activity and TPC also increased with increasing roasting time. Total polysaccharide content was the highest upon roasting for 15 min, except for the 10-20 ?m sample. Ginsenoside content of roasted samples >20 ?m size was higher than that of the control (not roasted) except after 15 min of roasting. Therefore, roasting and cryogenic milling are effective in producing ginseng root powder.

Trihexyphenidyl hydro-chloride: a powder diffraction study.

Project description:IN THE CATION OF THE TITLE COMPOUND [SYSTEMATIC NAME: 1-(3-cyclo-hexyl-3-hy-droxy-3-phenyl-prop-yl)piperidinium chloride], C(20)H(32)NO(+)·Cl(-), the cyclo-hexyl and piperidine rings are in chair conformations. In the crystal structure, cations and anions are linked into chains along the c-axis direction via O-H?Cl and N-H?Cl hydrogen bonds. Weak inter-molecular C-H?Cl inter-actions link further these chains into layers parallel to the bc plane. The salt, obtained from a racemic solution, was found to crystallize in the chiral P2(1)2(1)2 space group, indicating that, in the absence of any evident chirality-inducing process, the polycrystalline powders consist of an equivalent mixture of R and S enanti-omers, forming a racemic conglomerate.

Colossal thermo-hydro-electrochemical voltage generation for self-sustainable operation of electronics.

Project description:Thermoelectrics are suited to converting dissipated heat into electricity for operating electronics, but the small voltage (~0.1 mV K-1) from the Seebeck effect has been one of the major hurdles in practical implementation. Here an approach with thermo-hydro-electrochemical effects can generate a large thermal-to-electrical energy conversion factor (TtoE factor), -87 mV K-1 with low-cost carbon steel electrodes and a solid-state polyelectrolyte made of polyaniline and polystyrene sulfonate (PANI:PSS). We discovered that the thermo-diffusion of water in PANI:PSS under a temperature gradient induced less (or more) water on the hotter (or colder) side, raising (or lowering) the corrosion overpotential in the hotter (or colder) side and thereby generating output power between the electrodes. Our findings are expected to facilitate subsequent research for further increasing the TtoE factor and utilizing dissipated thermal energy.

Linking the Dynamic Changes in the In Vitro Antioxidant Activity of Carob Kibbles upon Roasting to the Chemical and Structural Changes Revealed by FTIR Spectroscopy.

Project description:Recent studies have highlighted the potential of utilizing carob kibbles as a bioactive-rich food ingredient associated with substantial health benefits. Roasting is a key process in enhancing the sensory characteristics of carob kibbles, also affecting the bioactive polyphenols and leading to the formation of Maillard reaction products (MRPs), including the polymeric melanoidins that are associated with a high antioxidant potential but remain unexplored in carob. In this work, we employed for the first time attenuated total reflectance-Fourier Transform Infrared (ATR-FTIR) spectroscopy to probe the dynamic chemical and structural changes upon the roasting of carob kibbles, along with the investigation of the in vitro antioxidant activity through the 2,2-Diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radical scavenging activity and the determination of the total polyphenolic, proanthocyanidin, gallic acid and cinnamic acid contents. Roasting significantly enhanced the in vitro antioxidant activity of the polyphenolic carob extracts, with different rates at distinct roasting temperatures. The ATR-FTIR analysis enabled the identification of the changes in the structural features of polyphenolic compounds that were related to the improved antioxidant activity upon roasting. Furthermore, the detection of characteristic signatures for the polymeric melanoidins in the infrared (IR) fingerprint region provided the first evidence for the formation and structural properties of these complex, diverse compounds in roasted carob kibbles.
