Consumers and the food industry are demanding healthier products. Expanded snacks with a high nutritional value were developed from different rice, pea carob flour blends. The proximate composition, starch (total resistant), amylose amylopectin, dietary fiber (soluble insoluble) contents, in vitro protein digestibility of rice-legume formulations, evaluated before after extrusion process. Compared corresponding non-extruded blends (control), treatment did not change total content, however,...
The present study describes the effects of germination on nonnutritional factors and antioxidant activity in nonconventional legumes Vigna unguiculata (cowpea), Canavalia ensiformis (jack bean), Lablab purpureus (dolichos), Stizolobium niveum (mucuna). Protease inhibitors lectins were detected raw significantly decreased during germination. Regarding total individual inositol phosphates (IP5-IP3), important reductions IP6 high increases rest also this process. In addition, phenols,...
Lupine flour has been reported as a causative agent of allergic reactions. However, the allergenicity lupine after thermal processing is not well-known. For this purpose, allergenic characteristics seeds boiling (up to 60 min), autoclaving (121 degrees C, 1.18 atm, up 20 min and 138 2.56 30 microwave heating (30 extrusion cooking were studied. The IgE-binding capacity was analyzed by IgE-immunoblotting CAP inhibition using serum pool from 23 patients with lupine-specific IgE. Skin testing...
<i>Background:</i> Peanut allergy is recognized as one of the most severe food allergies. Some studies have investigated effects enzymatic treatments on in vitro immunological reactivity members Leguminosae family, such soybean, chickpea and lentil. Nevertheless, there are only a few carried out with sera from patients well-documented allergy. <i>Methods:</i> Roasted peanut protein extract was hydrolyzed by sequential individual action 2 food-grade enzymes, an...
In the last years, legume proteins are gaining importance as food ingredients because of their nutraceutical properties. However, legumes also considered relevant in development allergies through ingestion. Peanuts and soybeans important allergens Western countries, while lentil chickpea allergy more Mediterranean area. Information about effects thermal-processing procedures at various temperatures conditions is scarce; therefore, effect these on allergenic properties not defined so far. The...
Health-related quality of life (HRQoL) is a multidimensional health measurement and key to optimal aging. The aim this study was examine the association nutritional status with HRQoL in elderly.
Abstract The pyrimidine glycosides, vicine and convicine, are compounds of the genus V icia , whereas their aglycone derivatives, divicine isouramil, responsible for favism occurrence, L ‐3,4‐dihydroxyphenylalanine ( ‐ DOPA ) is a nonprotein amino acid precursor dopamine in healthy neurons. present work evaluated effect thermal treatment, which consisted roasting boiling, on content vicine, convicine mature cotyledons 10 varieties M exican faba L. determined concentration glycosides by...
The effect of extrusion processing on inositol phosphates.
Among food allergens, peanut is one of the most critical. This study evaluates allergenic features after combination heat, pressure, and enzymatic digestion under sonication, by immunodetection using serum IgE sensitized patients mass-spectroscopy. In studied population, there was a predominance with sensitization to Ara h 9 (nsLTP) followed seed storage proteins (Sprot, 1, 2, 3, 6). The Sprot showed higher reactivity. enzyme E5 efficient for inducing protein fragmentation reactivity...
Five different genotypes (Tesoro, Marko, Clip, Vyp-70 and Nanta) of sunflower seeds were studied the phenolic compositions their kernel hull characterised by HPLC MS techniques. The main compounds present in both are chlorogenic acid, caffeic acid two caffeoylquinic derivatives. Both derivatives partial alkaline hydrolysis LC/MS. four ranged from 94.6% (genotype Clip) to 99.3% Marko) total whole seed. Therefore dehulling seed scarcely improves its nutritional value. © 2000 Society Chemical Industry
