Ginger (Zingiber officinale) and Licorice (Glycyrrhiza glabra L.) are one of the most popular spices having a wide range bioactive compounds that have varied biological pharmacological properties. The study was aimed to extract polyphenols from Himalayan medicinal herbs ginger licorice in different solvents using ultra-sonication technique. extraction efficiency (EE) determined, extracts were characterized for physical properties (particle size, colour values), total phenolics, flavonoids,...
Starch isolated from lotus stem was treated by gamma-irradiation at different doses of 5, 10 and 20 kGy. Physicochemical, morphological pasting properties irradiated starches were investigated these differed significantly. Carboxyl content, water absorption capacity, amylose leaching, transmittance increased, whereas swelling power, apparent syneresis, decreased after the modification in a dose dependent manner. Observation under scanning electron microscope (SEM) showed that some starch...
Summary A Box‐Behnken design was used to study the effects of feed moisture content (18–20%), barrel temperature (115–135 °C) and screw speed (225–275 rpm) on responses; antioxidant activity, total phenolics, dietary fibre, colour (L‐value), hardness, expansion ratio, water absorption index overall acceptability for development gluten‐free extrudate based germinated Chenopodium album flour. Second‐order polynomial fitted model showed that most significantly ( P ≤ 0.05) affected activity...
The aim of this study was to evaluate the impact germination on physicochemical, antioxidant, pasting and micro structural properties C. album (V1) (V2) flours. Germination induced lower peak final viscosities in both Findings from scanning electron microscopy (SEM) showed differences flour upon germination. FTIR analysis illustrated peaks allied various functional groups viz. OH, CH CO flour. resulted significant (P < 0.05) increase antioxidant activity total phenolic content 16.07%...
The aim of current study was to isolate and evaluate the starch from Chenopodium album (LP) (LS) varieties for its physicochemical, particle size analysis, textural properties. isolated C. showed yield values 37.59 47.30%, while amylose content mentioned found be 16.75 19.11%, respectively. higher water oil binding capacities (178 225%, respectively), as corresponding were 169.5 222%. Laser diffraction analysis unimodal distribution profile with mean diameters 10.52 10.64 μm starches,...
