Agar and κ-carrageenan emulsion gels were used to produce Frankfurters with reduced animal fat content by partially (50%) or completely (100%) replacing the pork back fat. The results showed that 50% of substitution did not affect mechanical physicochemical properties obtained sausages compared control (pure fat). Slight changes in textural TBARS values observed for 100% substituted sausages, while a reduction from 25.37 17.07 g/g sample total was attained. Thus, decreasing caloric 280 209...
Controlling protein digestion is a promising strategy to modulate hormonal responses involved in satiety and appetite regulation. In this context, polysaccharide-casein gel-like structures have been developed subjected in-vitro gastrointestinal digestions evaluate their potential for delaying casein hydrolysis. The effect of the polysaccharide type (agar vs. κ-carrageenan), polysaccharide:casein ratio physical state (hydrogels aerogels) on protection ability was investigated. microstructure...
This work explores the production of hybrid protein-polysaccharide extracts from green seaweed Ulva spp. with potential for food-related applications by means a pH-shifting method combined pre-treatment step. The optimum solubilisation (pH = 12) and precipitation 3) conditions were first determined to maximize protein extraction; however, extraction yield (21%) was still quite low. application short (5 min) ultrasound prior step seen effectively disrupt cell walls facilitate release, hence...
The physicochemical and functional properties of pectin (JFP) extracted from edible portions (including pericarp seed) raw jackfruit (an underutilized tropical fruit) at four different maturity stages (referred to as I, II, III, IV) were characterized in terms extraction yields, chemical composition, molecular weight, antioxidant evaluate its potential use foods.The JFP yield increased 9.7% 21.5% with fruit maturity, accompanied by an increase the galacturonic acid content (50.1%, 57.1%,...
Abstract This article explores oat's polyphenols extraction in ethanol/water and methanol/water at a nonthermal pilot scale. Alcohol % (vol/vol) cycles were controlled by response surface methodology. Eight evaluated (HPLC), together with antioxidant capacity (ORAC) total polyphenol content (TPC). Model adjusted well the majority of cases. Highest TPC ORAC obtained ethanolic mixtures. Vanillic acid vanillin highest yields 14.6% 50% both alcohols. Hydrocinnamic acids better extracted high...
The present work aimed at studying the in vitro digestion fate of κ-carrageenan (KC) or agar (AG) emulsion gels (EG), and KC oil-filled aerogels (OAG) terms their structural changes, lipolysis kinetics curcumin bioaccessibility. On one hand, both EG showed large (70-200 µm) heterogeneous particles after gastric conditions, indicating release bulk oil gelled material. Nonetheless, this material stomach phase was lower case EG-AG OAG-KC compared to EG-KC. After small intestinal presented a...
