The baked balls (traditional Indian snack litti) were formulated along with the standardization and optimization of different ingredients and recipe. The optimization was done by using response surface methodology. Box behnken model was selected for the optimization in which wheat flour (40-80%), roasted bengal gram flour (10-50%), and pumpkin peel powder (2.5-15%) were selected as an independent factor for the standardization of baked balls recipe against the dependent factors including sensory attributes (colour and texture), moisture content and water activity. The proximate analysis of optimized baked balls resulted in energy, carbohydrate, protein, fat, dietary fibre, calcium, iron, and zinc value as 310 kcal, 55.6 g/100 g, 13.78 g/100 g, 2.73 g/100 g, 40.18 mg/100 g, 4.57 mg/100 g and 2.97 mg/100 g respectively. Additionally, carotenoid content of control and optimized baked balls was found to be 284 µg/100 g and 838.93 µg/100 g whereas the ascorbic acid content was observed as 1.84 mg/100 g and 5.82 mg/100 g respectively. It showed a significant increase in nutritional parameters when compared with control (wheat flour) baked balls. This study also evidenced that pumpkin peel powder can be used as a food supplement for various nutritional components.

Background: Rice and pasta are recommended as healthier than potatoes on the basis of their glycemic index when eaten alone.
Objectives: The study objective was to evaluate postprandial glycemia (PPG), appetite, and food intake (FI) at meals with potatoes or rice when consumed with either meatballs or their vegetarian substitute.
Methods: In a randomized, single-blinded, crossover design, 26 (13 males and 13 females) healthy adults (age: 18-45 y; body mass index [kg/m]: 18.

The research objective was to investigate the morpho-rheological, chemical, and structural changes of dough and Neapolitan pizza TSG as the leavening time varies and to evaluate their effects on the digestibility of starch and on the formation of acrylamide during baking. Pizza dough leavening was monitored for 48 h at 22 °C/80% RH, and the analyses were conducted at selected leavening times (0, 4, 8, 16, 24, and 48 h). It was observed that in 30 h the volume tripled and the viscoelastic dough relaxed in the first 4 h, as evidenced by the lower value of the relaxation percentage "" and the higher rate of decay "", associated with a high value of the compression work, indicating the presence of a very strong gluten mesh.

Two high-energy-dense and two low-energy-dense Italian dishes were employed to study the effects of chemical and physical characteristics of foods on satiety. The specific satiety was firstly investigated. Then the satiating efficiency was evaluated when each dish was divided into two calorie levels (preloads) before an ad lib meal.
