Physical, structural and sensory properties of wafer batter and wafer sheets influenced by various sources of grains

This study aimed to investigate the effect of alternative, non-wheat flours on the rheological properties of wafer batter as well as textural and sensory attributes of wafer sheet. The results indicated that the highest weight and moisture content were observed in wafers containing barley and oat flours. The addition of non-wheat flours other than maize (corn) flour led to a higher viscosity compared with the control batter. Wafer containing rye flour had the lowest hardness and the highest porosity (88.2%) among all samples. Non-wheat flours improve the nutritional value of the wafer; however, the addition of these flours to the wafer can change the rheological properties of the wafer batter and final product quality. Among the tested alternative non-wheat flours, maize flour showed the greatest similarity to wheat flour in terms of viscosity, which is the most important property of the wafer batter. According to the results, it is feasible to use non-wheat flours in a wafer with improved nutritional properties.

Effect of hydrocolloid addition on batter properties and quality of deep-fried banana (Musa spp.) fritters

PurposeDeep-fried banana (Musa spp.) fritters is one of the frequently consumed fruit based snacks in Southeast Asian countries despite its substantial amount of oil content. Consistent with the demand for low fat food with maintained palatability, this study aimed to determine the quality of banana fritters as affected by batter system containing selected hydrocolloids such as pectin (PCN), whey protein isolate (WPI) and soy protein isolate (SPI).Design/methodology/approachBanana fritter batters were prepared with individual addition of 2% PCN (w/w), 10% WPI (w/w), 10% SPI (w/w), combination of 2% PCN and 10% WPI, combination of 2% PCN and 10% SPI and control (without hydrocolloid addition). Batter viscosity (Pa.s) and batter pick-up (%) were determined. Banana fritters were analysed for moisture and fat contents, moisture loss, colour, hardness and sensory characteristics.FindingsHydrocolloid addition in the batter system resulted in a higher batter pick-up and viscosity in comparison to control batter system. Moisture loss from banana fritters with batter formulation of 2% PCN and 10% SPI was the lowest while the reduction in oil content (55%) was the highest. Banana fritters with inclusion of hydrocolloids in the batter formulation were equally accepted as the control sample by the sensory panelists with a score range between 6 and 7 for most of the sensory attributes evaluated except for oiliness.Originality/valueApplication of PCN and SPI in batter system to develop banana fritters with low oil content, moist fruit core and crunchy crust is reported for the first time. Batter premix containing PCN and SPI can be produced for fresh and frozen fritters preparation.

Antistaling properties of encapsulated maltogenic amylase in gluten-free bread.

Staling of bakery products especially gluten‐free products is a challenge on the development of these products. For retarding staling of gluten‐free bread, maltogenic amylase (MAase) at concentrations of 8.2, 45, and 82 mg/ml was encapsulated into beeswax (BW) at 1%, 2.5%, and 4% levels. Results showed the treatment with 8.2 mg/ml MAase and 2.5% beeswax had the highest encapsulation efficiency (42.04%) and chosen for subsequent experiments. The size of encapsulated particles was 362.70 nm and had a zeta potential of −15.35 mV. Surface morphology of encapsulated MAase was almost spherical with layered appearance. The free and encapsulated MAase with the activity of 5.2 µmol/min were used in gluten‐free batter and breads, respectively. In the rheological tests, batters containing free and encapsulated MAase showed lower cross over point than control batter (without enzyme or wall material) (59 and 53 Hz, respectively). Encapsulated MAase contained bread had darker crust, whiter and softer crumb, and more aerated structure in comparison with free MAase loaded one. Both breads containing MAase as free or encapsulated had higher moisture content and water activity in crust and crumb than control bread. However, bread with free MAase had softer crumb after four days of storage, and bread with encapsulated MAase had higher sensorial acceptability than other breads after 2 and 4 days of storage.

Influence of fish oil and microencapsulated fish oil additives on water binding and the rheological properties of poultry sausage batters.

The composition of meat batters can be modified by the addition of fish oil or microencapsulation of oil. Such modifications affect the water binding and the rheological properties of the resulting systems. There is little information available on the behaviour of water molecules in model meat batter systems with microcapsules. The main goal of the study was to assess the degree of water binding by the meat batter system and to carry out a rheological analysis during heating and cooling. The sample with the microcapsules was characterized by a slightly elevated level of total protein. The encapsulated oil additive reduced the pH and water activity value in the meat batter, compared with the control sample. There was one relaxation time T1 and two time components T2 in the control batter and the batter containing encapsulated oil. The sample with the oil additive was characterized by two components of relaxation time T1 and three components of relaxation time T2 . There was an inverse correlation between the dynamic viscosity of the batters and the spin-spin relaxation times T21 and T22 . The temperature courses of the modulus of elasticity in all the systems exhibited three areas of change (20-43 °C, 43-60 °C, and >60 °C). The highest dynamics of change in the modulus of elasticity was observed for the initial and final temperature range (60-85 °C). The samples with the oil and microcapsule additives exhibited higher elastic energy accumulation capacity and dynamic viscosity than the control batter within the whole heating range. The fish oil microcapsules improved the mechanical properties of poultry sausage batters and their water-binding properties. This may increase the juiciness and microbiological stability of the finished products. © 2020 Society of Chemical Industry.

Effects of the Use of Staphylococcus carnosus in the Curing Process of Meat with a Reduced Amount of Sodium Nitrite on Colour, Residue Nitrite and Nitrate, Content of Nitrosyl Pigments, and Microbiological and the Sensory Quality of Cooked Meat Product

The aim of the work was to apply the bacteria Staphylococcus carnosus ATCC 51365 in the meat curing process with the use of a reduced amount of sodium nitrite and to evaluate the effects of bacteria on residual nitrites and nitrates, the content of nitrosyl pigments, colour, pH, oxidation-reduction potential, microbiological, and the sensory quality of a cooked meat product. Three meat batters in cans were prepared: (C) a control batter cured with NaNO2—100 mg/kg, (L) a batter cured with NaNO2—15 mg/kg, and (LS) a batter cured with NaNO2—15 mg/kg and S. carnosus (107 CFU/g). The cans were stored at a temperature of 4°C for 24 h (curing time) and cooked. The analysis was carried out after production and after 4 and 8 weeks of storage. The use of denitrifying bacteria in the curing process with a reduced amount of sodium nitrite increased the availability of nitrite in the meat, by reducing nitrates formed as a result of a dismutation reaction. The reaction contributed to the formation of nitrosyl pigments in a larger quantity than in the treatment in which the denitrifying bacteria were not used. The LS treatment was characterized by the greatest redness. The colour of the LS treatment was stable during storage. No negative effect of S. carnosus on the sensory quality of the meat product was found. The use of S. carnosus had no influence on the microbiological quality of meat product during storage.

Changes in ACE inhibitory and antioxidant activities in alcalase treated idli batter and idli after fermentation.

Idli is a cereal-legume fermented food consumed widely in India. Fermentation and addition of external enzymes have been suggested as methods for release of bioactive peptides from parent proteins. The present study was aimed at exploring the changes in angiotensin-I converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitory and antioxidant activity of 14h fermented idli batter treated with alcalase in varied amounts (100-700U/g batter) kept at 30 ± 2°C. Various batter parameters along with sensory attributes of cooked idli were assessed. The viscosity (12170-7795 cP) and rise in volume (29-20mL) of batter decreased with addition of alcalase in the batter when compared with control batter (14130 cP, 31mL). The free amino nitrogen content and radical scavenging activity of alcalase treated batter exhibited an increase by 2-5 and 2-7 fold, respectively while ACE inhibitory activity showed a decrease in IC50 value (lowest being 52.53 ± 1.12mg/mL of batter containing 600U alcalase/g batter) when compared with the control fermented set. The hardness and bulk density values of control cooked idli was 0.59kg and 0.53g/cm3, respectively while alcalase treated idlis showed a range of 0.71-1.68kg and 0.53-0.69g/cm3. The overall acceptance of idli prepared from alcalase treated batters till 600U/g batter was judged as 'good' by semi-trained panellists. Moreover, the ACE inhibitory and radical scavenging activity of cooked idli prepared from 600U alcalase/g batter showed enhancement over the control idli. Thus, alcalase treated idli shows potential to be used as a functional food.

Influence of functional ingredients on starch gelatinization in sponge cake batter

The present study evaluated the thermal properties of sponge cake batters with different functional ingredients, and the effects of their adding on starch gelatinization. Samples of sponge cake batter: with wheat flour (control batter), with a reduced quantity of wheat flour and addition of functional ingredients (sponge cake batter with 50% einkorn wholemeal flour, sponge cake batter with 20% Jerusalem artichoke powder, sponge cake batter with 35% cocoa husk powder) were investigated. Using the method of differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) the starch gelatinization temperature intervals (°C) and energies of the different batters during baking were evaluated. Based on the experimental results, it could be concluded that the addition of functional ingredients in the cake batter retard the starch gelatinization. The gelatinization occurs at higher temperature and with higher energy consumption. The retarding effect of the functional ingredients is related to the water binding capacity and the presence of dietary fiber.

Assessing the Importance of Protein Interactions and Hydration Level on Protein-Enriched Gluten-Free Breads: a Novel Approach

The effect of starch substitution by 30% of different mixtures of egg white and pea proteins (100:0; 75:25; 50:50; 25:75; 0:100) was studied. The effect of hydration levels on specific volume was determined in order to later study the physical characteristics of different protein-enriched breads with an adjusted hydration level to achieve a specific volume similar to that of commercial wheat breads (5.5 ± 0.5 cm3/g). Hydration level needs to achieve this specific volume increase when increasing pea protein ratio. Control batter presented the highest elastic modulus, followed by the batter enriched with pea protein. Elastic modulus decreased progressively when increasing egg protein content. Same trend was observed for the viscous modulus. Differently, hardness was increased by the presence of egg protein, while decreased with the presence of pea protein. Breads with the same amount of both proteins showed no significant differences, compared to the control hardness. Regarding crumb structure, egg protein generated a uniform structure of small air bubbles that opened progressively when the proportion of pea protein was increased, until the same levels of both proteins were added, closing again with a higher pea protein content, but was not as close as when egg protein only was added.

Performance of lentil and chickpea flour in deep-fried crust model (DFCM): oil barrier and crispy properties

In this research, the effects of frying time (0, 1.5, 3, 4.5 and 6 min) and different batter formulations were investigated on the quality of deep-fried crusts (DFCs) through a DFC model. Moisture and oil content, texture and color parameters of the crusts were determined. In order to determine the effects of the batter formulation, 10, 25 and 50 % w/w of wheat flour was replaced with lentil and chickpae flours. The Control batter formulation contained only wheat flour. Our results showed that batter formulations and frying time significantly (p < 0.01) affected the moisture and oil content, color parameters, acoustic properties and texture of DFCs. The increase in the concentration of lentil or chickpea flours from 10 to 50 % in batter formulation, led to an increase in a* and b* values as well as a decrease in moisture loss, oil uptake, L* value and textural properties. DFCs containing 50 % of the lentil flour showed the lowest oil content and the highest moisture content among all formulations. Samples containing 10 % of the lentil or chickpea flour had a higher hardness. Also, It has been indicated that as the frying time increased, the moisture content, L*and b*, decreased, while the oil content, a*, number and maximum of force and acoustic peaks, increased.

Shelf life improvement of idli batter by addition of mustard essential oil as bio-preservative.

Idli is one of the most popular naturally fermented breakfast food. In this study, essential oils have been screened for their minimal inhibitory activity against selected lactic acid bacteria (LAB) and yeast strain associated with idli batter fermentation and to identify the best potential bio preservative to preserve the idli batter. Mustard essential oil was found to be the best bio-preservative which showed a biocidal effect at 80ppm against LAB strains and at 40ppm against Candida versatilis. The efficacy of mustard essential oil incorporated in the idli batter at 0.1% (w/w) was evaluated by measuring the titratable acidity, pH, viscosity, batter volume, microbial count of idli batter as well as sensory parameters of idli prepared from preserved batter stored at 4 and 30°C. Unfavorable changes in acidity, batter volume and whey separation of idli batter containing mustard oil were significantly reduced, which resulted in a reduction of sour taste and improved texture of idli. The growth of yeast and LAB was retarded evidenced by decreased microbial counts than control batter, which delayed the deterioration of the batter under both storage conditions. The addition of 0.1% mustard essential oil in the optimally fermented idli batter extended its shelf life to 5days when stored at 30°C and 30days at 4°C.

Accelerated fermentation of Idli batter using Eleusine coracana and Pennisetum glaucum.

The present study focuses on reduction in fermentation time of idli batter and its enrichment with calcium and iron using finger millet and pearl millet. Fermentation time decreased from 12 to 6h with addition of finger millet and to 8h with pearl millet. Rate of fermentation, bulk density, viscosity, microbial changes and particle morphology were assessed in the batter; nutritional quality, sensory, phytochemicals and internal characteristics of idli were investigated. The color and texture characteristics of both batter and idli were evaluated. The pH and titratable acidity of control batter at 6h was 5.32 and 0.27%, addition of finger and pearl millet changed to 4.32, 0.45% and 4.53, 0.45% at respective fermentation times (6 and 8h). The viable yeast, lactic acid bacteria and total bacterial count (log CFUg-1) in the batters increased with time, reaching 1.26, 3.85, 4.56 (control); 2.32, 9.84, 9.58 (finger millet) and 1.76, 7.34, 7.74 (pearl millet) respectively at the end of 6h of fermentation. Addition of finger millet and pearl millet flour (10% w/w) to the batter enhanced the dietary fiber by 28 and 23%, calcium by 113 and 56%, iron by 51 and 258% in the respective idlies when compared with the control.

Physicochemical Properties of Meat Batter Added with Edible Silkworm Pupae (Bombyx mori) and Transglutaminase.

This study was conducted to investigate the physicochemical properties of meat batters prepared with fresh pork meat, back fat, water, and salt and formulated with three different amounts (5%, 10%, and 15%) of silkworm pupae (Bombyx mori) powder and transglutaminase (TG). Meat batters formulated with silkworm pupae powder showed significantly higher contents of protein and ash than control batter. Addition of silkworm pupae to batter also showed significantly lower cooking loss than the control. Moreover, meat batter containing 15% silkworm pupae showed no significant difference in redness value compared to the control. In addition, pH, viscosity, hardness, gumminess, and chewiness were improved after the addition of silkworm pupae. Furthermore, meat batter formulated with TG and silkworm pupae showed improved hardness, gumminess, chewiness and viscosity compared to control batter. Addition of 1% TG with 15% silkworm pupae to meat batter resulted in significantly higher pH, textures, and viscosity. Our data suggest that both silkworm pupae and TG can be added to meat batter to improve its physicochemical properties. Therefore, combination of silkworm pupae and TG could be a new nutritional and functional source for meat products.

Survival of Five Strains of Shiga Toxigenic Escherichia coli in a Sausage Fermentation Model and Subsequent Sensitivity to Stress from Gastric Acid and Intestinal Fluid.

The ability of foodborne pathogens to exhibit adaptive responses to stressful conditions in foods may enhance their survival when passing through the gastrointestinal system. We aimed to determine whether Escherichia coli surviving stresses encountered during a model dry-fermented sausage (DFS) production process exhibit enhanced tolerance and survival in an in vitro gastrointestinal model. Salami sausage batters spiked with five E. coli isolates, including enterohaemorrhagic E. coli strains isolated from different DFS outbreaks, were fermented in a model DFS process (20°C, 21 days). Control batters spiked with the same strains were stored at 4°C for the same period. Samples from matured model sausages and controls were thereafter exposed to an in vitro digestion challenge. Gastric exposure (pH 3) resulted in considerably reduced survival of the E. coli strains that had undergone the model DFS process. This reduction continued after entering intestinal challenge (pH 8), but growth resumed after 120 min. When subjected to gastric challenge for 120 min, E. coli that had undergone the DFS process showed about 2.3 log10⁡ lower survival compared with those kept in sausage batter at 4°C. Our results indicated that E. coli strains surviving a model DFS process exhibited reduced tolerance to subsequent gastric challenge at low pH.

Antioxidant and Antimicrobial Effects of Oregano on Quality Characteristics of Model Pork Batters

The paper presents the study of the effect of oregano (Origanum vulgare L.) on quality characteristics of vacuum-packed model pork batters during 10 days of refrigerated storage. The raw materials for the production of meat batters were pork meat from ham and jowl. In each of four experimental series, five batters differentiated by the added preparations of oregano (dried spice, water extract, ethanol extracts: 40% (v/v) and 70% (v/v)) were prepared. The antioxidant, antimicrobial effect of oregano, color parameters, and sensory characteristics of model pork batters were determined after 1, 5, and 10 days of storage. It was found that the addition of oregano preparations did not deteriorate the sensory quality of batters. The most effective antioxidant activity after 10 days of storage exhibited water and ethanol extracts of oregano. Compared with control batter only the growth of Enterobacteriaceae and enterococci during storage were inhibited by ethanol extracts of oregano. Practical Application Using of various preparations of oregan0o: dried spice, water extract, and 40% (v/v) and 70% (v/v) ethanol extracts, allowed to obtain model pork batters of good quality. All preparations of oregano exhibited antioxidant and antimicrobial properties and did not deteriorate the sensory characteristics of pork batters. The results obtained for model pork batters indicate the potential application of ethanol extracts of oregano in the production of different types of meat products made of minced pork subjected to thermal processing and stored under refrigerated conditions in vacuum packaging, e.g. ready-to-eat products.

Effects of the sugarcane dietary fiber and pre-emulsified sesame oil on low-fat meat batter physicochemical property, texture, and microstructure

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effects of sugarcane dietary fiber (SDF) and pre-emulsified sesame oil for pork fat replacement on batter characteristics. Replacing pork fat with SDF and pre-emulsified sesame oil significantly affected color, water- and fat-binding properties, texture, dynamic rheology, microstructure and sensory analysis. With SDF and pre-emulsified sesame oil, the batters had improved textures and gave good sensory scores. These batters containing SDF had reduced the cholesterol and fat contents. With increasing levels of SDF, the batters had higher water- and fat-binding properties, improved texture (hardness, gumminess and chewiness), dynamic rheology and a more balanced nutritional composition. However, when the level of SDF reached 3%, the pores formed by SDF in batter were too large to hinder aggregation and the hardness of batter was unacceptable, which result the allover acceptability to be unsatisfactory. The sample 2% SDF had comparable overall acceptability to the control batter.

Effects of the Addition of Grape Seed Powder on the Thermorheological Properties of Frying Batters

Abstract The effects of the addition of grape seed powder (GSP) on the thermorheological properties of frying batters were investigated in this study. Thermal properties, including gelatinization (T G) and melting (T m) temperatures, as well as enthalpies (ΔH G, ΔH m), were determined by a differential scanning calorimeter (DSC). The addition of GSP decreased the T G and T m as the GSP levels increased. When compared with the control batter, the addition of GSP significantly decreased the apparent viscosity and viscoelastic modules (G′, G′′). The mechanical spectra of batters carried out at 15–80°C showed a transition from fluid-like to gel-like behavior. The batter pick-up values were found to be directly proportional to the batter viscosity. Both water retention capacities (WRC) and consistency index values (K) of the batters were significantly affected by the GSP addition and temperature (p &lt; 0.05). Grape seeds have health-promoting components on a scientific basis; thus, this study provides helpful results in the development of novel frying batters.

오미자 분말을 첨가한 스펀지케이크의 품질 특성

We prepared sponge cakes consisting of 1.5%, 3%, 4.5%, or 6% Omija powder. The specific gravity and viscosity of sponge cake batter were measured. Also, the moisture content, color, volume index, weight and texture of the sponge cake were determined. Consumer preference tests of the sponge cakes were also conducted. The viscosity of cake batter tended to decrease as the ratio of Omija powder increased. The specific gravity of the control batter was 0.41, and there was no significant difference between the control and the cakes baked with 1.5%, 3%, 4.5%, and 6% Omija powder. The moisture content and weight of the cakes were not significantly different between the control and those made with Omija powder. Hunter ‘L,’, ‘a,’ and ‘b’ values of the crust decreased significantly as the amount of Omija powder in the cake increased. Hunter ‘L’ and ‘b’ values of the crumbs were low in the cakes with Omija powder, while ‘a’ values were high. Hardness and fracturability did not show any differences between the cakes. Adhesiveness and resilience of the control were high. The control sample showed the highest sensory score in overall preference. However, cakes made with 1.5% Omija powder obtained the highest values in color, softness, and flavor scores. Omija powder flavor and astringency scores increased as the amount of Omija powder increased, and sweetness did not show any differences among cakes. Intensity scores of egg flavors significantly decreased as the amount of Omija powder increased. Sensory scores of off-flavor significantly increased as the amount of Omija powder increased. Based on the results, 1.5～3% should be recommended as the optimum level of Omija powder to be added for the preparation of sponge cake.

Effect of different levels of malt extract on antinutrients, in vitro digestibilities and viscosity during fermentation of Jeungpyun

The effect of different levels of malt extract on the fermentation of jeungpyun (a Korean fermented steamed rice cake) was investigated. Relative to the control batter, the fermentation rate increased with increasing level of malt extract due to its effect in expediting the fermentation. The contents of total phenols and phytic acid in the jeungpyun batter were reduced during fermentation, and even more so after steaming of the batter. The reduced content of antinutritional factors in the batter was accompanied by increases in in vitro protein and starch digestibilities. The effect of different levels of malt extract on the viscosity and hardness was similar. These results indicate that the addition of malt extract during fermentation may produce a healthier and more nutritious jeungpyun. It also facilitated the production of thin fermented batter, thus affecting the textural characteristics of jeungpyun.

Effect of hydrocolloids on gluten‐free batter properties and bread quality

SummaryThe objectives of this study were to assess the effect of the addition of different hydrocolloids on gluten‐free batter properties and bread quality and to obtain information about the relationship between dough consistency and bread quality. Breads were made of rice, corn and soy flours and 158% water. Following hydrocolloids were added: carrageenan (C), alginate (Al), xanthan gum (XG), carboxymethylcellulose (CMC) and gelatine (Gel). Batter consistency, bread specific volume (SV), crumb analysis, crust colour, crumb hardness and staling rate were determined. Hydrocolloids increased batter consistencies: the highest value was obtained with XG, which doubled that of control batter, followed by CMC. Breads with hydrocolloid presented higher SV than control, especially with XG whose SV was 18.3% higher than that of control bread. A positive correlation was found between SV and batter consistency (r = 0.94; P &lt; 0.05). Crumbs with Gel, XG and CMC presented higher cell average size. XG and CMC crumbs looked spongier. Breads containing hydrocolloid evidenced lighter crusts. Crumb firmness was decreased by XG and CMC addition, and staling rate was slower. Overall, XG was the hydrocolloid that most improved gluten‐free bread quality. These results show that, in formulations with high water content, batter consistency is strongly associated with bread volume.
