Antioxidants in food : practical applications

Dietary fibre is a common and important ingredient of a new generation of healthy food products demanded more each day by customers. Dietary fibre increases the nutritional value of bread but usually at the same time alters rheological properties of dough and, finally, the quality and sensorial properties of bread. The present work investigates the effect of some purified dietary fibres from different origins (orange, pea, cocoa, coffee, wheat and microcrystalline cellulose) on the rheological properties of wheat flour dough and the final quality of breads. The study of the rheological behaviour of the dough was performed by means of a consistograph and an alveograph. Bread quality was determined by means of texture, colour and specific volume measurements after baking under controlled conditions. The influence of fibre on bread sensory evaluation was established. Dietary fibre additions, in general, had pronounced effects on dough properties yielding higher water absorption, mixing tolerance and tenacity, and smaller extensibility in comparison with those obtained without fibre addition (in the control bread). Regarding the effect on bread properties, the fibre always enhanced the shelf life, as textural studies revealed. Sensory evaluations revealed that dietary fibres, with the exception of those from coffee and cocoa, can be added to flour at the level of 2% without deterioration of the bread palatability in comparison with white flour bread. Additions of 5% could imply the use of some additives to correct the rheological properties of dough.

The eight vitamers of vitamin E (alpha-, beta-, gamma-, and delta-tocopherols and -tocotrienols) have different antioxidant and biological activities and have different distributions in foods. Some cereals, especially oat, rye, and barley, are good sources of tocotrienols. A fast procedure for the determination of tocopherols and tocotrienols (tocols) in cereal foods was developed. It involves sample saponification and extraction followed by normal phase high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). The results have been compared with those found by direct extraction without saponification. The method is sensitive and selective enough to be tested on a wide variety of cereal samples. The highest tocol levels were found in soft wheat and barley ( approximately 75 mg/kg of dry weight). beta-Tocotrienol is the main vitamer found in hulled and dehulled wheats (from 33 to 43 mg/kg of dry weight), gamma-tocopherol predominates in maize (45 mg/kg of dry weight) ), and alpha-tocotrienol predominates in oat and barley (56 and 40 mg/kg of dry weight, respectively).

Soy protein isolate (SPI) is a widely used food ingredient and is made by extracting soy flour (SF) under slightly alkaline pH, followed by precipitation, washing, and drying. Soy foods and foods containing soy protein ingredients have great potential in the prevention of cardiovascular diseases and cancers. These health benefits have been attributed to isoflavones in soy protein ingredients. However, the current processing techniques were developed many years ago without this knowledge. The objective of this study was to investigate the mass balance of different isoflavones during manufacturing of SPI and to provide basic information to assist further development efforts leading to preservation of soy isoflavones in soy protein ingredients. The study revealed that only about 26% of the total isoflavones in SF remained in SPI. The percentages of total isoflavones lost during extraction, precipitation, and washing were 19, 14, and 22%, respectively. Washing was the step where most isoflavones were lost. The isoflavone profile of the SPI was different from that of SF. The former contained much more aglucones (genistein and daidzein), while the latter had almost none. The high content of aglucones in SPI was probably due to the hydrolysis of glycosides.

A combination of different levels of distillers dried grains processed for food application (FDDG), garbanzo flour and corn grits were chosen as a source of high-protein and high-fiber extruded snacks. A four-factor central composite rotatable design was adopted to study the effect of FDDG level, moisture content of blends, extrusion temperature, and screw speed on the apparent viscosity, mass flow rate or MFR, torque, and specific mechanical energy or SME during the extrusion process. With increase in the extrusion temperature from 100 to 140°C, apparent viscosity, specific mechanical energy, and torque value decreased. Increase in FDDG level resulted in increase in apparent viscosity, SME and torque. FDDG had no significant effect (p > .5) on mass flow rate. SME also increased with increase in the screw speed which could be due to the higher shear rates at higher screw speeds. Screw speed and moisture content had significant negative effect (p < .05) on the torque. The apparent viscosity of dough inside the extruder and the system parameters were affected by the processing conditions. This study will be useful for control of extrusion process of blends containing these ingredients for the development of high-protein high-fiber extruded snacks.
