Enzymatic hydrolysate of African yam bean seed protein isolate was prepared by treatment with alcalase. The further fractionated into peptide sizes < 1, 1–3, 3–5 and 5–10 kDa using membrane ultrafiltration. (APH) its ultrafiltration fractions were assayed for in vitro antioxidant activities. 1 peptides exhibited significantly better (p 0.05) ferric reducing power, diphenyl-1-picryhydradzyl (DPPH) hydroxyl radical scavenging activities when compared to higher molecular weights. high...

This research characterized flour and raw starches isolated from red white sweet potato cultivars. Their composition, determined by proximate analysis, is typical of These cultivars have high amylose content (32−34%) exhibit a Ca-type X-ray diffraction pattern. Similar gelatinization characteristics were detected for both with onset temperature 67 °C enthalpy 10.5−11.0 J/g. Starches had well-correlated (r 2 = 0.982) solubilization swelling temperatures, starting at 80 °C. Pasting properties...

The aim of this work was to compare the antioxidant and angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitory properties Moringa oleifera seed protein isolate (ISO) its enzymatic hydrolysates. ISO subjected (alcalase, pepsin trypsin) hydrolysis obtain alcalase isolate, trypsin hydrolysates (AIH, PIH, TIH). Amino acid composition similar for samples except that TIH had lower Sulphur-containing amino acids while PIH in tryptophan. All were tested through free radical scavenging abilities such as 2,2...

The nutritional quality of food transcends the availability nutrients in to being utilizable by consumer. In this study, a complementary diet for infants was formulated with protein maize, soybean concentrate, and cassava starch. extruded effect extrusion on some antinutritional factors vitro starch digestibilities meals were assessed. amino acid profile samples determined while other indices calculated. essential index meal ranged from 87.3 tryptophan 133.7 tyrosine-phenylalanine. Protein...

2 Abstract: Mature seeds of breadnut, cashewnut and fluted pumpkin were processed in the laboratory into raw dried, boiled, fermented, germinated roasted seeds. Differently dried at 50 C, gro und sieved through 500µm sieves. The seed flours evaluated for trypsin inhibitor o activity, tannin, phosphorus compounds vitro multienzyme protein digestibility (IVPD). results show that processing significantly (P = 0.05) affected antinutritional factors flours. Breadnut contain 2.8-5.3g/kg phytic...

Abstract This work evaluated the functional properties of sesame protein fractions in order to determine their potential food applications. Sesame seed were prepared according solubility: water-soluble (albumin), salt-soluble (globulin), alkaline-soluble (glutelin) and ethanol-soluble (prolamin). Globulin was most abundant fraction, consisting 91% protein, followed by glutelin, albumin prolamin decreasing order. Non-reducing sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis...

Evaluation of the physicochemical properties, antioxidant activities as well viscosity honey from three main geographical areas (south, central and north) Ondo State, Nigeria, was carried out in order to access how variations affect qualities. Honey collected six local government areas; two each area (Okitipupa Irele, Akure South West, and, Owo Akoko West Local Government Areas southern, northern respectively). The proximate minerals composition; specific gravity, viscosity, colour, pH,...

Cod muscle has a balanced protein profile that contains potentially bioactive amino acid sequences. However, there is limited information on release of these peptides from the parent proteins and their ability to modulate mammalian blood pressure.The aim this study was generate cod antihypertensive with potent in vitro inhibitory effects against angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) renin. The most active were then tested for systolic pressure (SBP)-reducing spontaneously hypertensive rats...

Purpose This study was aimed to develop and evaluate nutritional efficacy bio-efficacy of food products from plantain, soycake, rice-bran oat-bran flour. Design/methodology/approach The flour samples were blended as follows: plantain 70% soycake 30% (PS); 65%, rice bran 5% (PSR); oat (PSO); 60%, 30%, (PSRO). Antioxidant properties the foods controls (100% Cerolina ) determined. Findings Protein (16.2–19.4 g/100g) biological values (98.5–99.3%) significantly ( p = 0.03) higher than 100% (5...

Abstract Moringa oleifera seed globulin was hydrolyzed with trypsin and fractionated to produce <1, 1–3, 3–5 kDa peptide sizes. These were evaluated for antioxidant properties: DPPH , hydroxyl radical scavenging assays, FRAP metal chelation tests; in vitro antihypertensive ACE renin inhibition. Membrane fractionation led improved antioxidative properties of 29.13% (<1 kDa), 180% 30.58% (1–3 kDa) iron chelation, respectively. There however 48.77% reduction activity. also improvement...

Abstract The demand for functional foods and drinks with health benefit is on the increase. synergistic effect from mixing two or more of such cannot be overemphasized. This study was carried out to formulate investigate effects blends pineapple, orange juices, carrot, Hibiscus sabdariffa extracts (HSE) antioxidant properties juice formulations in order obtain a combination optimal properties. Experimental design using mixture model response surface methodology which generated twenty...

Abstract This study was designed to evaluate the nutritional property of plantain‐based dough meal, antioxidant activity and dyslipidemia‐ameliorating potential in high‐fat‐induced rats. The flour blends, that is, plantain 70%, soy cake 30% (PSC); 65%, 30%, rice bran 5% (PSR); oat‐bran (PSO); 60%, 5%, (PSRO); controls (100% Cerolina) were evaluated for proximate, amino acids, antioxidants, phenolic profile, antihyperlipidemia. Protein, fiber, energy composition varied from 2.2 4.97 g/100 g,...

Research is gradually drifting towards the adoption of food as therapy for management diseases that result from metabolic derangement, in extension genetic can well be managed by a functional and nutritional diet will maintain health an individual through life. Diabetes Mellitus not exception. This study was aimed at formulating diets blends plantain, soycake, rice bran flours. They were processed into dough referred to optimized flour meals. The 100% Plantain (PLTF) cerolina (CERF) serve...

Sesame seed was defatted and subsequently fractionated into albumin, globulin, glutelin prolamin. The flour also subjected to alkaline solubilization acid precipitation obtain protein isolate. sesame isolate hydrolyzed using a combination of pepsin pancreatin produce the hydrolyzate. flour, fractions, hydrolyzate were evaluated for their amino profiles as well in vitro antioxidant enzyme inhibitory activities. results showed that fraction had higher amounts essential (38.1%) when compared...
