Forty-five different noodle formulations were produced.

Impact of xylanase-treated wheat milling by-products on the physical and chemical properties of cakes.

Background: Wheat milling by-products (germ and bran) are rich in dietary fiber, protein, vitamins, minerals and antioxidants. In this study, wheat milling by-products (bran obtained by debranning (BOD), coarse bran, fine bran and wheat germ) were used in the production of cake at different ratios (0-30%) after treatment with xylanase. Xylanase was used to improve the technological properties of the by-products and thus improve end-product quality.

Effect of ultrasonicated lupin flour and resistant starch (type 4) on the physical and chemical properties of pasta.

In this study, two different lupin flour obtained from debittered seeds by ultrasound application and traditional method (at 0-20% ratios), and resistant starch type 4 (RS4) (at 0-10% ratios) were used in pasta preparation to improve its nutritional quality. Experiments conducted at (2 × 4 × 3) × 2 factorial design. Use of ultrasonicated lupin flour in pasta revealed similar chemical, thermal and sensory properties to lupin flour debittered by traditional method.

Changes in chemical and anti-nutritional properties of pasta enriched with raw and germinated quinoa ( Willd.) flours.

In this study, quinoa seeds were processed to flour in ungerminated (raw) and germinated forms. Raw quinoa flour (RQF) and germinated quinoa flour (GQF) were replaced (0, 10, 20 and 30%) with wheat semolina in pasta formulation to improve nutritional and functional properties of pasta. Some chemical (ash, crude fat, crude protein, total phenolic content (TPC), antioxidant activity (AA) and mineral matter), anti-nutritional (phytic acid), physical and sensory properties of pasta samples were determined.

Utilization of quinoa flour ( Willd.) in gluten-free pasta formulation: Effects on nutritional and sensory properties.

In this study, raw and germinated quinoa seed flour was utilized in gluten-free pasta formulation. Rice:corn semolina (50:50) blend was used in gluten-free pasta as a control group. Quinoa flours were replaced with rice:corn semolina blend at different (0-30%) ratios in gluten-free pasta formulation.

Influence of wheat milling by-products on some physical and chemical properties of filled and unfilled fresh pasta.

The effects of wheat bran (WB) and wheat germ (WG) (5, 10, 15 and 20%) on physical, chemical and sensory properties of filled (with cheese) and unfilled fresh pasta were investigated. Pasta formulations with increased WB and WG ratio resulted in higher water uptake, volume increase, cooking loss, and lower firmness values. Filling material usage and the addition of WB or WG significantly ( < 0.

Effects of different dephytinisation methods on chemical properties of commercial and traditional breads prepared from composite flour.

The influence of different dephytinisation methods such as malt flour addition, phytase enzyme application and citric acid addition on some properties of commercial bread and traditional flat bread containing 25% of cereal-legume (rye, barley, oat, chickpea, soy and lupin) flours was investigated. Ash, protein, crude fat, antioxidant activity, total phenolic content and mineral matters of both breads increased with the usage of cereal-legume flour blend. Cereal-legume flour blend also resulted in increments on phytic acid content of commercial bread (330 mg/100 g) and traditional flat bread (422 mg/100 g) compared to its controls (98 and 152 mg/100 g, respectively).

Effect of different debittering processes on mineral and phytic acid content of lupin (Lupinus albus L.) seeds.

Lupin is a valuable ancient legume which contains high amount of protein, dietary fiber, oil, minerals and different functional components. Bitter lupin seeds cannot be consumed directly since its high toxic alkaloid content. Cooking and soaking are effective processes for removing these toxic substances and antinutrients as phytic acid, trypsin inhibitors and oligosaccharides.

Influence of wheat germ and β-glucan on some chemical and sensory properties of Turkish noodle.

Wheat flour used in Turkish noodle (erişte) production was replaced with wheat germ (0, 10, 20 and 30 %) and β-glucan (0 and 4 %). Noodle samples were analyzed for their moisture, ash, protein, fat, mineral contents, color values and sensory properties. Cooking properties as volume increase (VI), weight increase (WI) and cooking loss (CL) were also determined.

Influence of resistant starches on chemical and functional properties of tarhana.

Two different commercial resistant starches (RSa and RSb) were used in tarhana formulation on the basis of its replacement with wheat flour at 15, 30 and 45 % levels. Color values, some chemical, functional and sensory properties of tarhana were determined. Tarhana containing 30-45 % RSa gave lower darkness and yellowness compared to other samples.
