Squalene encapsulation by emulsification and freeze-drying process: Effects on bread fortification.

In the present work, squalene (SQ) was encapsulated by a conventional emulsion method using egg white protein nanoparticles (EWPn) as a high molecular weight surfactant, followed by a freeze-drying process to obtain an SQ powder ingredient. EWPn was produced by heat treatment at 85°C, 10 min, and pH 10.5.

Nanocomplexes based on egg white protein nanoparticles and bioactive compounds as antifungal edible coatings to extend bread shelf life.

This work is aimed to obtain nanocomplexes based on egg white protein nanoparticles (EWPn) and bioactive compounds (BC), carvacrol (CAR), thymol (THY) and trans-cinnamaldehyde (CIN), and evaluate their application as antifungal edible coatings on preservative-free breads. The nanocomplex formation was studied through stoichiometry, affinity, colloidal behavior, morphology, and encapsulation efficiency (EE, %). Rounded-shape nanocomplexes with particle sizes < 100 nm were obtained.

Optimization of mold wheat bread fortified with soy flour, pea flour and whey protein concentrate.

The objective of this work was to study the effect of replacing a selected wheat flour for defatted soy flour, pea flour and whey protein concentrate on both dough rheological characteristics and the performance and nutritional quality of bread. A mixture design was used to analyze the combination of the ingredients. The optimization process suggested that a mixture containing 88.

Effects of puddings containing whey protein and polydextrose on subjective feelings of appetite and short-term energy intake in healthy adults.

The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of puddings with whey protein (WP) and polidextrose (PX) on appetite feelings and energy intake. A single-blind randomized, crossover study was carried out in 25 healthy adults. Participants consumed two different puddings, including control or test pudding (12.

Using white sorghum flour for gluten-free breadmaking.

Cornstarch/sorghum flour (X₁) ratio, water added (X₂) and amount of hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (HPMC) used (X₃) were varied for making gluten-free bread so as to optimize batter softness (Y₁), specific volume (Y₂) and crumb grain (Y₃). A second-order model was employed to generate a response surface. It was found that the softness of the batter depends significantly on three factors in a linear way.

Use of sodium stearoyl lactylate and azodicarbonamide in wheat flour breads with added pea flour.

Different amounts of sodium stearoyl lactylate (SSL) (X(1)) and azodicarbonamide (ADA) (X(2)) were analyzed to measure their effect on breadmaking using wheat flour with incorporation of pea flour (Pisum sativum) to the dough. The objective of the present work was to optimize the physical properties of dough (Y(1)Y(2)Y(3)Y(4)), the dough consistency during mixing (Y(5)Y(6)) and the baking performance (Y(7)Y(8)Y(9)). A central composite design and second-order models for Y(i) were employed.

[Effect of the addition of soy flour and whey protein concentrate on bread quality and mineral dialyzability].

The effects of the addition of soy flour and whey protein concentrate (WPC) on dough properties and mold bread quality were studied. Farinograph and alveograph were used to evaluate dough properties. Mold bread quality was evaluated by assessing sensory attributes using a trained panel and analyzing some nutritional characteristics, such as: protein chemical score, available lysine, and potential availability of fortified iron and also of the intrinsic calcium and zinc.

[Effect of increased protein content on nutritional and sensory quality of cookies].

The objective of this work was to study the effect of soy flour and whey protein concentrate (WPC) on cookies quality. An optimal recipe showing improved protein quality and content as well as acceptable sensory quality was defined taking into account the results obtained. Rotary moulded cookie formulation adaptable to lamination and cutting in pilot plant was used.
