Article Abstract

Selected functional properties of four types of gluten-free muffins made of unfermented and fermented (by ) buckwheat flour in comparison with control muffins made using commercial gluten-free corn flour were evaluated in this study. The proximate chemical composition, antioxidant capacity analysed by ABTS, photochemiluminescence and cyclic voltammetry assays, and inhibitory activity against protein glycation in vitro in BSA/Glu systems were investigated. The content of the total phenolic compounds, available lysine, furosine, free and total FIC, browning index and antioxidant capacity of buckwheat-enhanced gluten-free muffins were higher compared to the control samples. Gluten-free muffins made of the fermented buckwheat flour showed a significantly higher antioxidant capacity, an increased activity against AGEs formation and an increased available lysine content, as well as a higher FAST index and browning index as compared to the muffins obtained with unfermented buckwheat flour. The study showed that buckwheat flour fermented by could be used as an ingredient for improving the functional properties of gluten-free muffins.

The growing consumer interest in functional and health-oriented foods prompted the incorporation of tartary buckwheat sprout flour (TBSF) into food production. The addition of TBSF enhanced the nutritional value of noodles. Research has shown that as the proportion of TBSF increased, both the water absorption rate and thermal stability of the dough improved, while formation time decreased and dough aging was inhibited.

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.

This study investigated the individual and combined effects of α-amylase (6 and 10 ppm), xylanase (70 and 120 ppm), and cellulase (35 and 60 ppm) on the physicochemical and nutritional properties of Chinese steamed buns (CSBs) supplemented with 15% buckwheat flour. The addition of individual enzymes did not significantly affect the volume or texture of the buckwheat-enriched CSBs, although it increased the crumb moisture content and porosity. In contrast, enzyme combinations can improve specific volume and reduce hardness.

Due to consumer needs and the prevalence of gluten-related disorders such as celiac disease, the gluten-free food market is expanding rapidly and is expected to surpass USD 2.4 billion by 2036. The objective of this study was to substitute wheat flour with oat, black rice, brown rice, buckwheat, and rice flours in the production of gluten-free scones, to assess consumer acceptability, and to identify factors contributing to consumer acceptability using check-all-that-apply questions.

Atmospheric cold plasma (ACP) is a novel non-thermal technology which increases shelf-life of food. The aim of this research to evaluate the effects of ACP treatment on antioxidant activity (AOA), total phenol content (TPC), total flavonoid content (TFC) and rutin and quercetin levels of Common buckwheat (Fagopyrum esculentum Moench) flour (BF) and grain (BG). Whole buckwheat grains and flour were subjected to a dielectric barrier discharge plasma reactor for 5 and 10 min at 50 and 60 kV.
