Highland barley (HB) has become popular due to its nutritional benefits, and pearling as a necessary process that could broaden its applications. The influence of pearling on the composition, microstructure, water migration and cooking characteristics of HB was investigated. With different degrees of pearling (DOPs), the levels of nutritious components except for starch and β-glucan, decreased, and the β-glucan content gradually increased and reached a plateau when the DOP was over 15%. Pearling can significantly shorten the cooking time by removing different tissues, and removal of the pericarp layer had significant influence by reducing the cooking time by 17 min (i.e., HB with DOP 5%). From the result of Peleg model fitting and low-field nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy, the saturated water absorption of HB did not differ for a DOP 5% and above, and cooking mainly increased the amount of moderately bound water and added small amount of bound water.

Article Synopsis
  • Browntop millet is gaining popularity for its nutritional benefits, but there is limited knowledge about its grain composition and flour functionality.
  • The bran fraction of the millet contains the highest protein (13.7%) and fat (27%) contents, while processing methods like pearling reduce anti-nutrients and enhance beneficial components.
  • The study suggests that milled browntop millet flour can be effectively used in food formulations and as a substitute for wheat flour in various products.

Effect of sorghum flour properties on gluten-free sponge cake.

J Food Sci Technol

April 2022

Departamento de Ingeniería Agrícola y Forestal, Área de Tecnología de los Alimentos, ETS Ingenierías Agrarias, Universidad de Valladolid, Palencia, España.

Unlabelled: As the demand for gluten-free products increases, the use of sorghum flour becomes a good alternative. Sponge cakes are consumed worldwide and suitable for formulations that could replace wheat flour. One of the most influential parameters on sponge cake quality is the flour particle size.

Solvent-Controlled Topological Evolution from Nanospheres to Superhelices.

Small

November 2020

State Key Lab of Metal Matrix Composites, School of Materials Science and Engineering, Shanghai Jiao Tong University, 800 Dongchuan Road, Shanghai, 200240, China.

Supramolecular assemblies with diverse morphologies are crucial in determining their biochemical or physical properties. However, the topological evolution and self-assembly intermediates as well as the mechanism remain elusive. Herein, a dynamic morphological evolution from solid nanospheres to superhelical nanofibers is revealed via self-assembly of a minimal l-tryptophan-based derivative (LPWM) with various mixed solvent combinations, including the formation of solid nanospheres, the fusion of nanospheres into pearling necklace, the disintegration of necklace into short nanofibers, the distortion of nanofibers into nanotwists, and the entanglement of nanotwists into superhelices.
