Meatballs are popular in Asia and traditionally made from beef or chicken with tapioca (≈8% ) as filler. Tapioca has a high glycaemic index (GI); therefore, rice bran was evaluated as a substitute to create a healthier meatball of acceptable quality. Substitution of tapioca with rice bran (100:0; 75:25, 50:50; 25:75; 0:100% tapioca: % rice bran) decreased the starch content (7.8 to 3.3%) and GI (56.08 to 43.85) whilst increasing the protein (10.9 to 12.8%) and fibre (8.1 to 10.3%) contents. Although consistency (995 to 776 N/mm) was affected, firmness (90.6 to 90.5 N) and shear force (300 to 312 N) were only slightly affected by the ratio of tapioca to rice bran. Sensory analysis revealed that the goat meatball with the substitution of tapioca with up to 25% rice bran was deemed acceptable by 40 Indonesian consumers.

Constipation is a prevalent global health issue that greatly affects human well-being. However, many existing treatments are associated with side effects, necessitating the development of alternative approaches. In this study, a balanced fatty acid red pine seed direct-drinking oil (SFA:MUFA:PUFA = 1.

The in situ fortification of vitamin B12 (VB12) in foods through fermentation is an effective strategy to address the deficiency of this micronutrient, and precise monitoring of VB12 production is crucial for developing VB12-fortified functional foods. Liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) is advantageous for analyzing trace substances in food due to its high sensitivity. In the present study, an LC-MS/MS method capable of rapidly and accurately quantifying three active forms of VB12, namely adenosylcobalamin (AdoCbl), methylcobalamin (MeCbl), hydroxocobalamin (OHCbl), in 8 min were developed.

We carried out limited enzymatic hydrolysis with trypsin on rice bran protein (RBP) pretreated by high hydrostatic pressure (HHP) in this study. The effects of the degree of hydrolysis (DH) on the structural and emulsifying properties were investigated. The results indicated that the molecular structure of RBP changed after limited enzymatic hydrolysis.

The amount of saturated fat in cookies can be reduced by replacing margarine with oleogel, resulting in healthier products. In this study, the rheological and textural profile of cookies formulated with oleogel as the main margarine substitute was evaluated. Hemp seed vegetable oil was oleogelized with four types of waxes: beeswax (BW), carnauba wax (CW), candelilla wax (DW), rice bran wax (RW), and three oleogeling agents, sitosterol (S), pea protein (PP), and xanthan gum (XG), respectively.

High-pressure processing (HPP) enhances food safety and shelf life by inactivating microorganisms and preserving food quality, yet its effectiveness in low-humidity environments has not been evaluated. This study investigated the effects of HPP at 500 MPa for 15 min across varying hydration levels (15, 30, 60, 77 %) on rice bran (RB), aiming to identify microbial effectiveness, besides techno-functional and physicochemical properties. HPP effectively reduced mesophilic bacteria, molds and yeast of RB at > 15 % hydration level, achieving reductions of up to 4 logarithmic cycles in the latter, nearing the detection limit of the method.
