Role of short germination and milling on physical properties, amino acid and metabolomic profiles of high amylose rice fractions.

Short germination is a process that can improve bioactive compounds in rice. This work aimed investigate the physical properties, phenolic compounds (PC), antioxidant activity and amino acids composition of husk + bran, brown and milled rice with high amylose content after short germination (16 h). α-amylase activity (Falling Number, FN) and enthalpy (ΔH) were unchanged (p < 0.

Impact of whole millet extruded flour on the physicochemical properties and antihyperglycemic activity of gluten free pasta.

Gluten-free pasta was developed from raw whole millet (RMF) and precooked (PCMF) flours by thermoplastic extrusion. The shape pasta were prepared with RMF (100%) and RMF:PCMF in a ratio of 50:50. The formulations were characterized for texture, cooking loss, antioxidant capacity, antihyperglycemic activity, sensory and color analyses.

Effect of extrusion and turmeric addition on phenolic compounds and kafirin properties in tannin and tannin-free sorghum.

Sorghum is a potential substitute for corn/wheat in cereal-based extruded products. Despite agronomic advantages and its rich diversity of phenolic compounds, sorghum kafirins group together and form complex with tannins, leading to a low digestibility. Phenolic content/profile by UPLC-ESI-QTOF-MS and kafirins polymerization by SE-HPLC were evaluated in wholemeal sorghum extrudates; tannin-rich (#SC319) and tannin-free (#BRS330) genotypes with/without turmeric powder.
