Article Abstract

The effects of dry milling (DM), semi-dry milling (SDM), wet milling (WM), nixtamalization wet milling (NWM) and ultrasonic-assisted nixtamalization wet milling (UNWM) on the structure, physicochemical properties and digestibility of starch in corn flour were investigated. NWM and UNWM samples had the lowest damaged starch content and average particle size, as well as the highest thermal stability, short-range ordered structure and relative crystallinity, which exhibited excellent pasting, rheology and gel texture properties. NWM and UNWM samples showed a lower rapidly digestible starch (RDS) and a higher slowly digestible starch (SDS) and resistant starch (RS), conferring higher dietary fiber activity on corn starch. In addition, UNWM had higher milling efficiency than NWM, which facilitated industrial processing. Therefore, ultrasonic-assisted nixtamalization could enhance the quality of corn flour by improving structure, physicochemical properties and anti-digestibility of corn starch, and also achieved efficient production of corn flour.

Background: This study aimed to develop gluten-free bread from chickpea flour by incorporation of varying levels (0 (B-C), 2.5 (B-1), 5 (B-2), and 10 g kg (B-3)) of madımak leaf powder (MLP), and to investigate its effect on physicochemical and bioactive properties, glycemic index, texture, and sensory attributes.

Results: Moisture ranged from 229 (B-3) to 244 g kg (control), while ash content increased with MLP, reaching 47 g kg in B-3 compared to 15.

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.

Introducing underutilized legumes as plant-based protein sources to daily meals is an approach to address the increasing demand for alternative proteins. However, legumes often exhibit off-flavors and aromas, causing negative consumer perceptions. Lupins are an underutilized legume that is becoming popular as a plant protein source due to their high protein, fiber, and low starch contents.
