Addition Of Oats Research Articles

Impact of Oat Supplementation on the Structure, Digestibility, and Sensory Properties of Extruded Instant Rice.

The addition of oat at varying percentages (26%, 32%, 38%, 44% and 50%) was used to evaluate the structural, microstructural, and physicochemical changes in instant-extruded rice (IER). A mixture of broken rice and oat flour was extruded in a twin-screw extruder. It was found that when adding 44% oats, the gelatinization degree of the mixed powder was the lowest (89.086 ± 1.966%). The dietary fiber content increased correspondingly with the increase in oat addition. Analyses of texture properties revealed that the hardness, adhesive, and resilience values increased and then decreased with oat addition. Compared with other common instant rice (IR), the advantages of IER were evaluated in terms of microstructure, digestive performance, and flavor. IER with 44% oat addition obtained in this study had higher hardness, adhesiveness, rehydration time, and sensory score, and the content of resistant starch (RS) reached 6.06%. The electronic nose and electronic tongue analyses could distinguish the flavor of different IR efficiently. This study showed the feasibility of preparing fiber-enriched IER. The results demonstrated the potential for the development and utilization of broken rice, providing a reference for the development of IER.

Mechanistic insights into the enhanced texture of potato noodles by incorporation of small granule starches

Potato noodles are a popular food due to their unique texture and taste, but native potato starch often fails to meet consumer demands for precise textural outcomes. The effect of blending small granule (waxy amaranth, non-waxy oat and quinoa) starch with potato starch on the properties of noodles was investigated to enhance quality of noodles. Morphological results demonstrated that small granule starch filled gaps between potato starch granules, some of which gelatinized incompletely. Meanwhile, XRD and FTIR analysis indicated that more ordered structures and hydrogen bonding among starch granules increased with addition of small granule starch. The addition of oat or quinoa starch increased gel elasticity, decreased viscosity of the pastes, and increased the tensile strength of noodles, while addition of 30 % and 45 % waxy amaranth starch did not increase G′ value of gel or tensile strength of noodles. These results indicated that amylose molecules played an important role during retrogradation, and may intertwine and interact with each other to enhance the network structure of starch gel in potato starch blended with oat or quinoa starch. This study provides a natural way to modify potato starch for desirable textural properties of noodle product.

High β-Glucans Oats for Healthy Wheat Breads: Physicochemical Properties of Dough and Breads

Bread is a highly consumed food whose nutritional value can be improved by adding an oat flour (Avena sativa L.-variety Bonaerense INTA Calen-Argentina) to a high-industrial quality wheat flour (Triticum aestivum L.). This cultivar of oat contains high amounts of β-glucans, which act as a prebiotic fiber. Wheat flour was complemented with different amounts of oat flour (5, 15, and 25%). A contribution of hydrophilic components from oat flour was evident in the oat-wheat mixtures. At the same time, the high content of total dietary fiber led to changes in the rheological properties of the dough. Mixtures with a higher proportion of oats showed an increase in alveographic tenacity (stiffer dough), higher stability, and a lower softening degree in farinographic assays. The dough showed significant increases in hardness and gumminess, without significant changes in cohesiveness, i.e., no disruption to the gluten network was observed. Relaxation tests showed that the blends with a higher oat content yielded 10 times higher stress values compared to wheat dough. Analysis of the oat-wheat breads showed improvements in nutritional parameters, with slight decreases in the volume and crust color. The crumb showed significant increases in firmness and chewing strength as the amount of oats added increased. Nutritional parameters showed that lipids, dietary fiber, and β-glucans were significantly increased by the addition of oats. Sensory analysis achieved high response rates with good-to-very good ratings on the hedonic scale set. Thus, the addition of oats did not generate rejection by the consumer and could be accepted by them. Breads with wheat and oats showed nutritional improvements with respect to wheat bread, since they have higher dietary fiber content, especially in β-glucans, so they could be considered functional breads.

Nutritionally Important Starch Fractions and Sensory Acceptability of Oats Incorporated Pongal – A Traditional Indian Food

Oats are being promoted as health food ingredient for its functional attributes due to high β-glucan content. There is immense scope for utilization of oats, in formulation of high fiber food products that confer health benefits, however its utilization in Indian cuisine is limited. This study aimed to explore the use of oats as a functional ingredient in an Indian traditional food and study its sensory acceptability and starch digestibility profile. The product was formulated by replacing rice with oats at a level of 20% and evaluated for sensory acceptability and starch fractions of nutritional importance through controlled enzymatic digestion involving enzymes such as amyloglucosidase, invertase and pancreatin. In addition, estimation of rapidly available glucose and starch digestibility index was carried out. Sensory analysis revealed that the product was acceptable, with no noticeable differences observed between control pongal (CP) and oats integrated pongal (OP) in terms of color, appearance, texture, aroma, mouthfeel, after taste, and overall acceptability. The addition of oats led to a substantial decrease in total starch and resistant starch content, whereas rapidly digestible starch (RDS), slowly digestible starch (SDS) and rapidly available glucose (RAG) increased significantly. The starch digestibility index of OP was 31, which was significantly greater than the starch digestibility index of CP, which was 16. These findings suggest that incorporation of oats helps in value addition of pongal in terms of enhanced digestibility with increased soluble dietary fiber content that aids in healthy gut microbiome.

Redistribution of nutritionally important starch fractions beneficial to diabetic population by using oats as a functional ingredient in a wheat-based food product – Jereesh

Oats being important sources of β-glucan were incorporated at 10, 20 and 30% level in a wheat-based traditional Arabian breakfast cereal called Jereesh and evaluated for sensory acceptability. Sensory analysis reflected that the products with 10 and 20% oats incorporation were acceptable in terms of color, appearance, taste, aroma, mouthfeel, after taste and overall quality as indicated by the sensory scores which revealed no substantial differences between control jereesh (CJ) and oats incorporated jereesh (OJ). However, jereesh with 30% oats incorporation was very sticky (viscous) and scored low in sensory evaluation. Thus, nutritionally important starch fractions were measured in jereesh with 20% oats incorporation using a controlled in vitro multi-enzymatic method. Results indicated that, addition of oats at 20% level resulted in a substantial decrease (p<0.05) in total starch (TS), rapidly available glucose (RAG), and resistant starch content (RS), as well as a significant increase (p<0.05) in slowly digestible starch (SDS) compared to the control jereesh. The starch digestibility index remained unchanged. The findings of the study suggest that incorporation of oats helps in value addition of jereesh in terms of slow digestibility with increased soluble dietary fiber content that might lower glycemic index.

Also, biological assays were preformed to measure level of GPT, GOT, urea, creatinine, total cholesterol, triglycerides, HDL, LDL, and glucose. Furthermore, histopathological examination of both liver and kidneys was analyzed. The obtained results were clarified that the antioxidant activity for oats and cinnamon were 52.91% and 87.91%. Moreover, addition of oats and cinnamon to the cookies improve sensory evaluation as made it more acceptable, decreasing microbial load principally treatments 4 (prepared by 75% oats+5% cinnamon). Biochemical assays were improved in rats with cirrhosis of carbon tetrachloride and their histopathological examination of liver and kidneys. It was clear that the additions ground whole grain oats and cinnamon to wheat flour based cookies improve its nutritional, chemical, and biological functions properties.

QUALITY ASSESSMENT OF YOGURT ENRICHED WITH OAT AND CHICKPEA POWDERS AS SOURCE OF DIETARY FIBERS

The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of addition of oat and chickpea powders on the rheological, physicochemical and sensory characteristics of yogurt. Yogurt was fortified with oat and chickpea powders at ratios of 1, 2 and 3% of each. Yogurt was stored at 5 ±2˚C and analyzed when fresh and after 5, 10 and 15 days of storage. Results showed that:Control yogurt had the lowest total solids (TS), fat, protein,ash and fibers contents compared with fortified yogurt treatments. The TS, fat ,protein, ash and fibers contents of yogurt containing oat and chickpea powders at different concentrations increased gradually by increasing the percentage added, Addition of oat and chickpea powders at different concentrations increased the pH in yogurt. Whereas, titratable acidity decreased with increased fortification ratio. Fortification of yogurt with oat and chickpea powders at different concentrations significantly decreased whey syneresis and increased viscosity compared with control yogurt and this increasing was proportional to the fortification ratio. Addition of oat and chickpea powders at different concentrations significantly increased phenolic contents and antioxidant activity of yogurt treatments and these increments were proportional to the fortification ratio. Yogurt treatments fortified with oat and chickpea powders at different concentrations had the lowest counts of total bacteria, yeast and moulds,Streptococcus salivarius subsp.thermophilus andLactobacillus delbruekii subsp. bulgaricuscounts. Total bacteria, yeast and moulds,Streptococcus salivarius subsp. thermophilus and Lactobacillus delbruekii subsp. bulgaricuscounts decreased with increasing the fortification ratio.Control yogurt had the lowest sensory evaluations values. Addition of oat and chickpea powders improved the organoleptic properties of fortified yogurt; the highest mean value was related to sample containing 3% oat powder.

The peptides in oat and malt extracts that are preferentially absorbed by Lactobacillus plantarum and stimulates its proliferation in milk

SummaryLactobacillus plantarum proliferates inefficiently in milk, mainly because of its lack of cell envelope proteases and its inability to hydrolyse proteins in milk. Our previous study showed that this strain could grow well in milk with the addition of oat and malt extracts. To investigate the usage and preference for polypeptides and oligopeptides for this strain, sodium dodecyl sulphate‐polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS‐PAGE), o‐phthaldialdehyde (OPA), high‐performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), plate counting and other methods were used in this study. The results showed that proteins in fermented milk cannot be absorbed and utilised by L. plantarum, whereas polypeptides and oligopeptides provide available nitrogen sources for their growth. Short‐chain peptides were more conducive to absorption and utilisation than long‐chain peptides. In particular, peptides with molecular weights in the range of 200–1400 Da in the oat extract and 100–700 Da in the malt extract were preferentially absorbed and utilised.

Oat bran and sweeteners in petit-suisse cheese: Technological and nutritional properties and consumer acceptance

The aim of this study was to 1) take advantage of the gelling capacity of oats and prevent the syneresis of the petit-suisse cheese, 2) add oat bran to the cheese to increase the dietary fiber, and 3) investigate the acceptability of several different sweeteners (sucralose, Stevia, xylitol, and erythritol) in petit-suisse cheese supplemented with oats to increase sucrose-free product range. The petit-suisse cheese samples were manufactured with three different amounts of oat bran (3, 6, and 9 g/100 g) and two different concentrations of thickeners (1 and 2 g/100 g). Total dietary fiber, water-holding capacity, rheology, and sensory analyses were performed. The results indicated that adding oats to petit-suisse cheese increased its nutritional value due to the addition of fiber. The water-holding capacity increased with the addition of oats. The sweeteners xylitol and erythritol proved to be sensorially more similar to sucrose with respect to the overall impression. Our results indicate that the addition of oats and sweeteners to petit-suisse cheese is an option that brings nutritional benefits to the consumer and technological advantages to the company.

This research aims to determine the effect of oats addition in wheat cookies formulation seen from physical and sensory characteristics. Six formulations used in this research consist of wheat flour and oats mixture namely Control (100%:0%), Formulation 1 (80%:20%), Formulation 2 (60%:40%), Formulation 3 (40%:60%), Formulation 4 (20%:80%), and Formulation 5 (0%:100%). Based on analysis of variance result at α = 5%, there was a significant difference in the value of hardness and work from control and all variation of cookies’ formulation. It was also found that the decreasing composition of wheat flour and increasing composition of oats caused a decrease in the value of hardness and work. The addition of oats in the formulation of wheat cookies increases the level of brightness (L), decreases the value of a* (red tone), and increases the value of b* (yellow tone) of cookies. From sensory evaluation, compared to controls, the addition of oats in the formulation increased the acceptance rating for color parameter for all formulation, taste parameter for Formulation 2 until 5, and overall parameter for Formulation 2 and 3, while for the texture parameter, the addition of oats did not provide an increased in the acceptance rating.

Addition of Oat Enhanced the Physico-Chemical, Nutritional and Sensory Qualities of Date Fruit Based Snack Bars

Fruit based products are major part of healthy diet ever since human life began on earth. In the present study, four treatments (T0 to T4) of date based snack bar of approximately 36±2g with high nutritional value were prepared on the basis of oats supplementation. Electronic hygropalm meter was used to determined water activity. After sensory evaluation, proximate composition, pH and free fatty acids, the mineral contents were measured by using atomic absorption spectrophotometry. The hardness increased and water activity decreased significantly (p < 0.05) among the treatments. Moisture content in all treatments was low as compared to that of date paste. Maximum fat content was found in T3 (6.9%) and the minimum in T0 (2.5%). The maximum protein content was found in T3 (~14%) than all other three treatments. Significant difference (p < 0.05) was found in mineral contents of all treatments. Total sugars ranged from 50.7% to 45.9% were recorded with significant variation among treatments. Reducing sugars were high than non-reducing sugars, while acidity and free fatty acid contents were varied non-significantly among treatments. The highest score (7.1 score) of sensory evaluation recorded for T2, followed by T1 and T3 and lowest for T0. It has been concluded that the addition of oats have positive effect on acceptability and nutritional value of bars. Because of high nutritive value these bars would be healthy for consumers and motivate the food manufacturers and farmers for cottage as well as international industry.

The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of replacement of wheat flour by barley or oat flour and the both together on the rheological properties of the toast bread dough. Wheat flour was substituted by six levels of barley and oat flour at a ratio of (5, 10 and 15% oat flour, 5, 10 and 15% barley flour) and were used in manufacture toast bread. The results showed that the bread containing 10% barley flour or 5% oat flour or both at ratio of 15 % gave the highest scores of sensory properties than the other treatments as well as the control. Therefore, these treatments (replacement of wheat flour by 10% barley flour or 5% oat flour or both by 15%) and their effect on rheological properties of toast dough were studied. The results obtained from farinograph showed that toast dough containing 10% barley increased the rate of absorption and duration of kneading dough and consistently for maximum strength and the weakness of the dough. However, the addition of 5% oats lowered the rate of absorption, while the access time and the stability of the dough and the dough weakness were increased. In the case of adding, both of barley and oat together as a replacement of wheat flour at a ratio of 15%, the results obtained of farinograph led to low rate of water absorption, while the arrival time, dough development, the dough stability and dough weakness were increased. Also, results of extensograph showed that adding barley at 10% led to a decline in rubber dough, flatten the resistance, the relative number and energy resulting dough. Moreover, addition of oats at 5% declined the rubber dough; figure the relative energy and the resulting dough while increasing resistance to flatten. Also in the case of mixing barley and oats together at ratio of 15% led to a decline in rubber dough. From the results, it can concluded that addition of barley at rate of 10% and oats at rate of 5% in the case of mixing barley and oats were the best ratio of 15% and replacement of water dough by sweet whey improved the rheological properties of dough.

Conclusions: Incorporation of whey powder have significantly reduced the Glycaemic index of milk (p<0.05). Although digestible carbohydrate content was increased by addition of oats and also being lower in fat; low GI milk powder formulations can be developed by incorporating whey proteins and cereal grains like oats.

Improvement of the Technology for Young-Stock Breeding of Black-and-White Diary Cattle in the Southeast of Kazakhstan

It was found that it is possible to give high-quality starter feeds to calves beginning from the 4th day of age and not later than from the 10th-12th day of age. A high-calorie starter contains 16-18% of raw protein or 20% of protein, if calves are weaned when they are four weeks old or younger. Whole milk in the ration of calves from the 11th day of age can be replaced by an adequate Calf Milk Replacer (CMR) at a rate of 1.1 kg of dry replacer per 10 kg of milk. For heifers older than 6 months of age, grain feed (starter) is recommended in a maximum amount of 2.3-2.7 kg per head per day. Initially, the starter should contain 18% of crude protein on the dry basis. After transferring a calf to a new place, the starter can contain up to 16% of protein on the dry basis. Corn and soybean meal should prevail in the starter with the addition of oats and low content of fiber in grain mixes.

Varanasi, the city of gallis and ghats is not only famous for its Banarasi saree and Banarasi paan, but also famous for the Lal Peda loaded with higher amount of sugar and loaded with Ghee, the Peda is shaped by hand and dusted with semolina and pistachios as a finishing touch. Lal Peda is a popular heat desiccated traditional dairy delicacy of eastern India specially Uttar Pradesh. It is prepared by blending of Khoa and sugar followed by heat desiccation until characteristic reddish brown colour appears. The Lal Peda is deficit in fibre so the developed Lal Peda was prepared with addition of oat. This product is manufactured since long time yet not glamorized as other Khoa based sweet products like Burfi, Peda etc. The main reason behind this is, these products centered into specific areas and have not proper focused by research scientists and extension workers. So the experiment was carried out on low calorie, low sugar and fibre enriched Lal Peda . The process for the manufacture of low calorie, low sugar and fibre enriched Lal Peda was standardized. Optimization of product stages and levels of addition of maltodextrin, sorbitol, oat, sugar and aspartame were used with help of sensory evaluation score. Hence, the formulation with buffalo milk with 3 per cent fat, 2 per cent maltodextrin, 0.50 per cent oat on the basis of milk and 20 per cent sugar and 0.10 aspartame on the basis of Khoa were considered to be the most appropriate formulation for preparation of low sugar, low calorie and fibre enriched Lal Peda. The proximate composition of developed Lal Peda contained 17.95 per cent moisture, 14.28 per cent fat, 16.93 per cent protein, 13.58 per cent lactose, 20.18 per cent sugar, 3.18 per cent ash and 4.18 per cent dietary fibre. The developed Lal Peda samples were tasted to 125 consumers selected randomly. The consumers were picked-up randomly under different age, sex and health groups. Among the consumers suffering from various diseases 93.5 per cent consumers rated the product liked extremely and liked very much.

Effect of different fibers on batter and gluten-free layer cake properties

The effect of different fibers, added individually or in combination, to improve the functional properties of gluten-free layer cakes was examined. Soluble (inulin and guar gum), and insoluble (oat fiber) fibers were used to replace up to 20% of rice flour in gluten-free layer cakes formulation. The incorporation of fibers increased the batter viscosity, with the exception of inulin. Fiber enriched gluten-free cakes containing blends of oat fiber–inulin resulted in improved specific volume. Significantly brighter crust and crumb was obtained in the presence of fibers, excepting the crumb of oat–guar gum containing cake. Fibers and its blends increased the crumb hardness; but the smallest effect was observed with the addition of oat, individually or combined with inulin. Enriched cakes increased significantly their dietary fiber content, which was connected to the nature of the fibers added. Fibers significantly affected the in vitro hydrolysis of starch fractions, being the most pronounced effect the decrease in the slowly digestible starch. Overall combination of oat fiber–inulin resulted in better gluten-free cakes.

Development and Nutrient Evaluation of Oat Supplemented Products for Old Aged People with Constipation

Constipation refers to bowel movements that are infrequent. Severe constipation includes obstipation and faecal impaction found very commonly in old aged. The first step to treat constipation is by increasing the intake of dietary fibre. Oats can be supplemented in a normal carbohydrate meal without the loss of taste, palatability . Supplementary product samples of sweet dalia , salty dalia and khichdi were prepared using broken wheat and rice as control while for test samples broken wheat for both sweet and salty dalia and rice were supplemented with oats at 20 percent , 25 percent and 30 percent levels. The control and the most acceptable level of oat supplementation in the products were analysed for proximate composition (moisture, crude protein, crude fat, crude fibre, total ash) carbohydrates and ener gy were calculated. Fibre fractions namely NDF,ADF and lignin were also estimated. Taste of salty dalia supplemented with 25 percent scored the best score of 8.0 while all the sensory parameters of sweet dalia supplemented with oats at same percentage had the highest scores. Addition of oats at 25 percent level in sweet/salty dalia and khichdi increased the moisture, crude protein and crude fibre value. While the fibre fractions of NDF , ADF and lignin also increased in the supplemented products.
