Valor nutritivo de los panificados
No full textAunque desde la Antigüedad se conocen las ventajas de una dieta rica en vegetales, y por tanto en fibra, recién a finales del siglo XX h surgido una verdadera preocupación por el bajo nivel de fibra, en particular de fibra insoluble. Al mismo tiempo, la harina refinada, aunque no provee grandes cantidades de fibra, tiene un contenido apreciable de fibra soluble. Esta última puede colaborara en la reducción de los niveles de glucosa y colesterol en sangre, mientras que la insoluble ayuda a prevenir desórdenes del tracto digestivo...Fil: Bustos Shmidt, Mariela Cecilia.

Effect of four types of dietary fiber on the technological quality of pasta
Full text linkThe development of dietary fiber-enriched foods permits to obtain products with functional properties but can cause several problems in technological quality. The aim of this study was to study the quality of pasta obtained by replacing bread wheat flour with resistant starch II (RSII), resistant starch IV (RSIV), oat bran (OB) and inulin (IN) with the purpose of improving their nutritional quality. RSII, RSIV, OB and IN were substituted for a portion of bread wheat flour at levels 2.5%, 5.0%, 7.5% and 10.0%. Cooking properties, amylose and inulin losses, color and texture were measured. Finally, nutritional quality of enriched pasta was evaluated by protein losses during cooking and total dietary fiber. Microstructure of pasta was analyzed by scanning electron microscopy. Addition of RSII into pasta formulation improved the quality of the final product. RSIV-enriched pasta presented an improvement in textural characteristics and OB affected cooking properties positively up to 5% of substitution. Inulin was lost during cooking; besides, its addition negatively affected the technological quality of pasta. The results obtained in this study prove that it is possible to elaborate pasta with acceptable cooking quality and with improved nutritional characteristics by adding 10% of RSII and RSIV and 5% of OB.Fil: Bustos Shmidt, Mariela Cecilia.

Study of the physicochemical and functional characterization of quinoa and kañiwa starches
Full text linkThe objective of this work was to study the physico-chemical and functional properties of starch isolated from different quinoa varieties and kañiwa ecotypes regarding their possible uses in cereals-derived food. Four ecotypes of kañiwa and three varieties of quinoa were analyzed. Starch isolation from quinoa and kañiwa flour was carried out by combining two extraction procedures. Quinoa and kañiwa isolated starches had similar chemical composition but protein, lipid, and fiber content was lower for quinoa than kañiwa starches. The amylose content varied from 9.30 to 8.35% for quinoa and from 17.44 to 10.70% for kañiwa starches. Significant differences in pasting properties were observed among quinoa varieties and kañiwa ecotypes, quinoa starches had higher peak and final viscosity and lower setback than kañiwa. Amylose content correlated negatively with peak viscosity and positively with setback. Kañiwa starches yielded higher firmness starch pastes than quinoa starches. No differences in starch granule morphology between quinoa and kañiwa were observed, both species showed polygonal granules. However, granules from quinoa were larger ( 2.53 mm) than kañiwa granules ( 1.45 mm). Differences in granule size, amylose content, pasting and thermal properties among quinoa and kañiwa provide new starch types with a wide range of possibilities for food applications.Fil: Steffolani, Maria Eugenia.

Starch Digestion in Infants: An Update of Available In Vitro Methods—A Mini Review
No full textComplementary feeding starts at around six months of age because neither breast milk nor formula assure the proper nutrition of infants. Therefore, along with breast milk, solid foods are gradually introduced, particularly cereal-based foods, which will provide starch as a new source of energy and nutrients. As a result, the need of an adequate in vitro digestion method to study the influence of different aspects of weaning period is unquestionable. This critical review summarizes the in vitro digestion methods available for the analysis of starch hydrolysis under infant conditions considering different features, namely, starch digestion, infant digestive conditions and in vitro models suitable for the study of starch digestion (static, semi-dynamic and dynamic). Key factors such as enzyme concentrations, transit time, oral, gastric and intestinal conditions and differences with current adult models, have been addressed. The need for standardized infant digestion models adapted to the complementary feeding period was discussed. Existing literature data demonstrate that more effort has to be done to improve the research on this issue, in order to obtain comparable results that would address a better understanding of the digestibility of different food nutrients under infant conditions facilitating the development of appropriate formulations that may assure proper infant nutrition.Fil: Rodriguez, Marianela.

Chia (Salvia hispanica L) gel can be used as egg or oil replacer in cake formulations
Full text linkThis study determined the overall acceptability, sensory characteristics, functional properties, and nutrient content of cakes made using chia (Salvia hispanica L) gel as a replacement for oil or eggs. Chia gel was used to replace 25%, 50%, and 75% of oil or eggs in a control cake formulation. Seventy-five untrained panelists participated in rating cakes on a seven-point hedonic scale. Analysis of variance conducted on the sensory characteristics and overall acceptability indicated a statistically significant effect when replacing oil or eggs for color, taste, texture, and overall acceptability (P<0.05). Post hoc analysis (using Fisher's least significant difference method) indicated that the 25% chia gel cakes were not significantly different from the control for color, taste, texture, and overall acceptability. The 50% oil substituted (with chia gel) cake, compared to control, had 36 fewer kilocalories and 4 g less fat per 100-g portion. Cake weight was not affected by chia gel in the formulation, although cake volume was lower as the percentage of substitution increased. Symmetry was generally not affected. This study demonstrates that chia gel can replace as much as 25% of oil or eggs in cakes while yielding a more nutritious product with acceptable sensory characteristics. © 2010 American Dietetic Association.Fil: Borneo Benista, Rafael.

Combination of resistant starches types II and IV with minimal amounts of oat bran yields good quality, low glycaemic index pasta
Full text linkThe objective of this work was to study the effects of the combination of resistant starch type II (RSII), resistant starch type IV (RSIV) and oat bran (OB) on technological and nutritional properties of pasta, applying response surface analysis. Cooking properties were improved by combining RSII and RSIV in pasta formulation, while OB addition negatively affected all technological attributes, and a negative synergistic effect was observed between this fibre and resistant starches in cooking losses. Considering nutritional properties, substitution of bread wheat flour with resistant starch type II and IV increased starch resistant to digestion and OB addition increased pasta starch hydrolysis. A positive synergistic effect was observed on glycaemic index by combining both types of resistant starches. Finally, we optimised the formulation considering three aspects separately: technological properties, nutritional attributes and these two features together. The combination of RSII 12.6, RSIV 3.1 and OB 0.6 g per 100 g of wheat flour will allow to obtain a pasta with low glycaemic index (GI = 69) and good technological characteristics.Fil: Bustos, María Cecilia.

Incorporation of dietary fiber on the cookie dough. Effects on thermal properties and water availability
Full text linkIn the present work it was analyzed the water mobility by characterizing the thermo-gravimetric analysis of the cookie dough with the incorporation of dietary fibers. The fibers analyzed were: inulin (IN), oat fiber (OF), high amylose maize starch (RSII) and phosphate distarch-phosphate (RSIV). Four tests were performed: thermo-gravimetric analysis (TGA), pasting profile analysis using water and a solution of 50% sucrose as a solvent, and the study of the ultrastructure of the flour and fiber by SEM and particle size distribution. Changes in the thermo-gravimetric profile were explained by the pasting profile of composites and the ultrastructure of the wheat flour and fibers. OF and IN incorporation changed substantially dough water loss profile and rate. The addition of fibers produced a decrease in the starch pasting profile and inulin showed the highest reduction since less water was available for the hydration of wheat flour starch granules.Fil: Blanco Canalis, María Soledad.

Structure and quality of pasta enriched with functional ingredients
No full textDry pasta is a traditional cereal-based food product that is becoming increasingly popular worldwide because of its convenience, palatability, and nutritional quality. The low cost and the long shelf life of pasta, as well as the fact that it is consumed by people of all ages and from all walks of life, make this a suitable product to be enriched with functional ingredients of various types and origins. In this article we review current knowledge on the fate of those functional components that have been more widely studied, how they may interact during processing and what impact they may have on quality attributes. In particular, the specific interactions between key components (starch and proteins) during lamination, extrusion and drying are reviewed. As far as we know, few review articles consider the addition of different types of functional ingredients of various physicochemical properties to pasta formulation or how such addition affects pasta quality.

Co-ingestion of Cereals and Legumes during Infant Complementary Feeding: Starch and Protein in vitro Digestion
No full textThis study explores the impact of co-ingesting cereals and legumes on starch and protein during simulated infant in vitro digestion. Various legumes (chickpeas, lentils, peas) were added to cereals (durum wheat, brown rice, white maize), and their effects on starch and protein hydrolysis were analyzed. Substituting 50% of cereal with legumes increased proteins, minerals, and dietary fiber. Infant food with legumes exhibited smoother pasting properties. Legumes in cereal purées led to varying starch hydrolysis trends, with the lowest values in durum wheat with chickpea and all cereal blends with peas. Resistant starch levels exceeding 50% were found in infant food samples. Digested protein hydrolysis increased with legumes in durum wheat, except for peas. Brown rice mixtures decreased significantly compared to the control with chickpeas (61%) and peas (42%), while lentil blends increased by 46%. Legumes generally did not significantly affect starch bioavailability, even with α-amylase inhibitors. Lentil-cereal purées could enhance infant food nutritional value.Fil: Rodriguez, Marianela Desiree. Consejo Nacional de Investigaciones Científicas y Técnicas.

Antimicrobial, mechanical and barrier properties of triticale protein films incorporated with oregano essential oil
Full text linkAntimicrobial triticale protein films were prepared by incorporating oregano essential oil (OEO). The effect of different concentrations of OEO on antimicrobial activity and on mechanical and barrier properties of films plasticized with glycerol was evaluated and compared with control films (without antimicrobial agent). The addition of OEO did not affect the water vapor permeability of films, increased water solubility and the percent elongation of the films, and reduced tensile strength and Young's modulus. Films with OEO showed higher antimicrobial activity against the Gram positive bacterium Staphylococcus aureus, and lower for Gram negative (Escherichia coli and Pseudomonas aeruginosa). The obtained results proved the permanence of OEO in the polymer matrix after processing, making them able to be used as active additives in film formulation. © 2013 Elsevier Ltd.
