Solubility Index (solubility + index)
Kinds of Solubility Index Selected AbstractsEffect of extrusion parameters on flavour retention, functional and physical properties of mixtures of starch and d -limonene encapsulated in milk proteinINTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF FOOD SCIENCE & TECHNOLOGY, Issue 2006Sri Yuliani Summary The purpose of this research was to investigate the retention of flavour volatiles encapsulated in water-insoluble systems during high temperature,short time extrusion process. A protein precipitation method was used to produce water-insoluble capsules encapsulating limonene, and the capsules were added to the extruder feed material (cornstarch). A twin-screw extruder was used to evaluate the effect of capsule level of addition (0,5%), barrel temperature (125,145 °C) and screw speed (145,175 r.p.m.) on extruder parameters (torque, die pressure, specific mechanical energy, residence time distribution) and extrudate properties [flavour retention, texture, colour, density, expansion, water absorption index, water solubility index (WSI)]. Capsule level had a significant effect on extrusion conditions, flavour retention and extrudate physical properties. Flavour retention increased with the increase in capsule level from 0% to 2.5%, reached a maximum value at capsule level of 2.5% and decreased when the capsule level increased from 2.5% to 5%. The die pressure, torque, expansion ratio, hardness and WSI exhibited the opposite effect with the presence of capsules. [source] Effects of extrusion conditions on quality of cassava bran/cassava starch extrudatesINTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF FOOD SCIENCE & TECHNOLOGY, Issue 5 2003Jorge Minoru Hashimoto Summary Blends of cassava bran and cassava starch were processed in a single-screw extruder. Response surface methodology was used to determine the effect of the concentration of cassava bran (10,50%), barrel temperature (150,210 °C), feed moisture (16,20%) and screw speed (120,180 r.p.m.) on the characteristics of the dried extrudates. All the independent variables were significant (P < 0.05) for radial expansion. The water absorption index (WAI) and water solubility index (WSI) were affected by bran level, screw speed and temperature, while only moisture and temperature influenced specific volume. The maximum radial expansion was found when all the independent variables were at their lowest levels. Lowest-density extrudates (highest specific volume) were obtained at 16,18% moisture and 180,200 °C. An increase in bran level increased the WAI but decreased the WSI when the temperature was higher than 170 °C . Screw speed had a slight effect on those responses, decreasing water absorption and increasing water solubility when changed from 120 to 180 r.p.m. [source] EFFECTS OF EXTRUSION CONDITIONS ON PHYSICOCHEMICAL PROPERTIES OF A MUTANT RICE CULTIVAR, GOAMI2 , HIGH IN NONDIGESTIBLE CARBOHYDRATESJOURNAL OF FOOD QUALITY, Issue 5 2008I. CHOI ABSTRACT A mutant rice Goami2, a cultivar high in nondigestible carbohydrates (NDCs), was extrusion-cooked at feed moisture (20, 25%), screw speed (200, 300 rpm) and barrel temperature (110, 120 and 130C). Effects of extrusion conditions on the physical and functional properties were investigated. NDCs were determined by total dietary fiber (TDF) and resistant starch (RS) contents. Increasing moisture resulted in an increment of density, water absorption index (WAI) and hardness, and a decrement in expansion and water solubility index (WSI). A higher barrel temperature decreased the hardness and increased the WSI probably due to a higher proportion of gelatinized starch. Extrusion caused a reduction in TDF in the extrudates, as well as a significant decrease in RS contents. However, extrudates processed at moisture (%), screw speed (rpm) and barrel temperature (C) combinations of 25/200/110 and 25/200/120 showed no significant difference in TDF contents compared with its raw rice. Multiple regression models showed that feed moisture had the most pronounced effect on extrudate qualities, followed by barrel temperature and screw speed. PRACTICAL APPLICATIONS Rice, being one of the primary dietary sources of carbohydrates worldwide, is the major energy and nutritional sources. In recent years, demands have been increasing for rice with a wide range of value-added properties, such as enhanced nutrient, aroma, color and rice kernel shape, including functional properties. Goami2 is a mutant rice of Ilpumbyeo, a high japonica rice cultivar, and has been revealed to have higher nondigestible fractions. However, Goami2 rice has unsuitable properties for traditional cooking because of the difficulty of gelatinization, which might result in a hard texture of cooked rice compared with that of ordinary rice. On the basis of its nutritional and functional benefits, exploiting the possible utilization of Goami2 for processed food products would increase the potential consumption of Goami2 for various food products. [source] Effect of Actinidin on the Protein Solubility, Water Holding Capacity, Texture, Electrophoretic Pattern of Beef, and on the Quality Attributes of a Sausage ProductJOURNAL OF FOOD SCIENCE, Issue 3 2009M. Aminlari ABSTRACT:, The objective of this study was to study the effect of actinidin, a sulfhydryl protease from kiwi fruit, on the protein solubility (nitrogen solubility index [NSI]), water holding capacity (WHC), texture, and SDS,PAGE pattern of beef and to evaluate the effect of pretreatment of beef with actinidin on the quality attributes of a sausage product. Actinidin was partially purified by precipitation with ammonium sulfate, followed by DEAE-Sephadex column chromatography. Actinidin significantly (P < 0.05) increased NSI and WHC of beef; the highest NSI and WHC (approximately 20% and 8% increase, respectively) was observed when beef was incubated with 0.9 unit enzyme/g beef. Texture analysis indicated increased tenderization (10% decrease in shear force) when slices of cattle beef were treated with actinidin at 37 °C for 2 h. SDS,PAGE results indicated appearance of several low molecular weight bands (<10 kDa) after treating beef with different levels of actinidin for 30 or 60 min. Slight changes in protein band in the range of 100 to 120 kDa and 13 to 25 kDa were also observed. Use of actinidin-tenderized beef significantly improved emulsion stability, texture, and organoleptic properties of the sausage product. [source] Influence of Sulfonation on the Properties of Expanded Extrudates Containing 32% Whey ProteinJOURNAL OF FOOD SCIENCE, Issue 2 2006David P. Taylor ABSTRACT Whey protein concentrate (WPC) was treated with sodium sulfite to achieve 4 levels of disulfide bond sulfonation (0%, 31%, 54%, and 71% mole/mole). The WPCs were blended with cornstarch to a 32% (weigh/weight) protein content and extruded into an expanded product. Extrudates were collected at 160 °C and 170 °C and analyzed for physical (air cell diameter, expansion ratio, breaking strength, and density) and chemical (water adsorption index [WAI], water solubility index, moisture content, soluble protein, and carbohydrates) properties. The control and 54% sulfonated samples had larger expansion ratios and air cell diameters and smaller densities and breaking strengths than the 31% and 71% samples. Expansion increased at 170 °C in the sulfonated samples. The WAI was influenced by both sulfonation and temperature, whereas the other chemical properties (except moisture content) were influenced only by sulfonation level. Soluble protein and carbohydrate were highest in the control and 54% samples. The anomalous behavior of the 54% sample may have been the result of significant structural and functional changes of ,-lactalbumin that are predicted to occur at approximately 50% sulfonation. Many functional properties of the WPCs were measured and were significantly correlated to the extrudate properties, particularly those related to protein unfolding and flexibility The increased ability for the proteins to become unfolded during extrusion may have promoted protein-starch interactions, which led to decreases in expansion and overall quality Disulfide bond content did influence the chemical and physical properties of an extruded-expanded whey protein products.
