Article Abstract
This work was focused on the optimization and characterization of maize-based spaghetti fortified with chickpea flour. To the aim, the study has been organized in two subsequent trials. In the first one, the chickpea flour amount added to the spaghetti was continuously increased until the overall sensory quality of pasta reached its sensory threshold. Spaghetti samples loaded with 15% chickpea flour showed poor elasticity and increased firmness, so this concentration represented the highest chickpea flour concentration to be used. The second experimental step was aimed to improve the overall sensory quality of the enriched spaghetti by means of hydrocolloids as pectin, guar flour and agar. Final pasta was characterized for the nutritional composition, the glycemic response and the main quality attributes. The best results were obtained by the addition of guar flour.

Global demand for chickpeas has increased due to their high plant protein content, gluten-free nature, and overall nutritional benefits. However, chickpeas are susceptible to colonisation by spp. - fungi, which are capable of producing harmful mycotoxins.

Plant-based sausages (PBS) were formulated using heat-induced gelation to assess the influence of gluten in terms of structure, texture profile, rheology, digestibility, and shelf-life of PBS. The PBS formulation contained varying amounts of black chickpea flour, mung bean protein isolate, wheat gluten (WG), and fixed amounts of psyllium husk, water, and oil. WG significantly influenced the color.

The pet food industry currently formulates using crude protein (CP) and gross amino acid (AA) concentrations of individual ingredients as opposed to formulating on an AA standardized ileal digestibility (SID) basis, like in swine and poultry diets. In order to formulate on a SID basis, AA digestibility of individual ingredients must be additive when combined in a complete diet, but this assumption has not been evaluated in pet food. The objective of the present study was to determine if there is AA additivity in four extruded experimental diets using the AA SID estimates from the individual ingredients that were either taken from literature or determined using the cecectomized rooster.

Phenolic compounds are secondary metabolites widely distributed among plants, with bioactive properties, especially antioxidant activity. The search for sustainable extraction methods has driven the use of natural deep eutectic solvents (NaDESs), formed by combinations of natural compounds, such as organic acids, sugars, alcohols, and amino acids. This study optimized NaDES (sorbitol, citric acid, and glycine) efficiency and compared it to that of 70% methanol solution in extracting total soluble phenolic compounds (TSPCs) from six flours matrices-corn, buckwheat, biofortified orange sweet potato, red lentil, Sudan grass, and chickpea-before and after thermoplastic extrusion cooking.

Background: Dry beans and chickpeas are nutritionally valuable legumes widely consumed worldwide. This study examines the impact of oven roasting (110 °C for 70 min) on the phytochemical, antioxidant, fatty acid and saponin profiles of 12 pulses, including 11 common beans and 1 chickpea.
Results: Roasting significantly affected the phytochemical composition and antinutritional factors with distinct variations among samples.
