Legumes are characterized as showing interesting hypoglicemic properties. Their presence in the diet is very useful in controlling the level of blood glucose in diabetic people. Taking in mind this property different formulations of prune marmalades were developed using 5, -7.5, 10 and 15% of full fat sweet lupin flour (FFLF). These samples were submitted to chemical, physical, sensory and clinical analysis. The protein content increased from 0.6 to 5.2% in direct proportion to lupin flour concentration. Energy content remained relatively constant in all formulations. The incorporation of FFLF did not affect the natural dark red prune color and pH, acidity and soluble solids values remained under the limits of Chilean food regulation laws. The samples were analyzed by a Rank preference test. Reported data showed a significative preference for the prune marmalade with 10% HEL (p < 0.05). A facial Hedonic test was used to compare the degree of acceptability between this formula and a control marmalade with fructose as edulcorant. Statistical analysis using the student test did not show significant difference (p < 0.05) between them. The hypoglycemic effect of the lupin flour was tested in seven adult non insulin dependent diabetic patients using the glucose tolerance test. Postprandial blood glucose concentration data was lower in individuals after a test meal of lupin marmalade compared to fructose marmalade. This result would allow diabetic people to eat foods such as marmalades which are known to contain a large amount of carbohydrates.

This study aimed to promote the valorization of lupin seeds by extracting both non-polar and polar fractions to produce a protein-rich flour suitable for food applications. Green extraction methods such as Supercritical Fluid Extraction (SFE) and SFE followed by gas-expanded liquid extraction with ethanol/CO mixtures were employed. SFE yielded lupin oil with extraction yields ranging from 2.

This study was examined to optimize extrusion conditions (barrel temperature, feed moisture, and blending ratios of rice, lupin, and pumpkin flour) during processing high-quality extruded products using a twin-screw extruder. A three-factor with three-level response surface methodology with a Box-Behnken design, was applied to evaluate the effects of selected processing conditions: blending ratios of lupin (10-20 %), barrel temperature (115-155 °C) and feed moisture content (14-20 %) on the functional, nutritional and sensory characteristics of the produced snack food. The independent variables significantly affected the nutritional, functional, and physical properties of the extruded snack food.

Selenium (Se) is essential for human and animal health and nutritional status. As humans cannot produce Se, it must be obtained from the diet. Adequate Se supplementation improves innate immunity, increases antioxidant capacity and helps prevent various disorders.

Article Synopsis
  • This study investigates the effects of substituting wheat flour with soybean and gluten flour in the production of Pixian Douban (PXDB), a popular Chinese condiment, focusing on flavor improvement.
  • Results show that the flour substitutions significantly increased amino acid nitrogen content and enhanced flavor quality, particularly in the F2 group compared to the traditional method.
  • Metagenomic analysis indicates higher levels of specific bacteria and fungi in the F2 group, along with a greater abundance of enzymes related to key amino acids and flavor compounds, supporting the idea of optimizing PXDB production for better flavor.

Article Synopsis
  • Malnutrition and food insecurity are significant issues in developing countries like Ethiopia, mainly due to economic challenges and limited access to diverse foods rich in protein and micronutrients.* -
  • The research developed an instant porridge flour using extruded mixtures of maize, orange-fleshed sweet potato, sweet lupine, and moringa leaf powder in varying ratios to enhance nutritional value.* -
  • Results showed that adding these ingredients significantly improved the nutritional profile of the porridge, increasing protein, vitamins, and minerals, while reducing carbohydrate content and moisture levels.*
