This study aimed to investigate the effects of oyster mushroom addition on the physicochemical properties of full fat soy (FFS)-based extruded meat analog. The meat analog blend was FFS, wheat gluten, and corn starch (0.5:0.4:0.1), and oyster mushroom was added to the base formulation (0, 4, 8, and 12%). The extrusion condition was set to 55% feed moisture, 170oC barrel temperature, and screw speed of 150 rpm by using the twin-screw extruder equipped with a cooling die. The hardness, chewiness, cutting strength, and integrity index of the FFSbased extruded meat analog increased with the increase in oyster mushroom contents, while its nitrogen solubility index (NSI) decreased. The cohesiveness, springiness, and water holding capacity revealed the inconstant patterns with the increase in oyster mushroom contents. The total phenolic content and DPPH radical scavenging activity significantly increased with the increase in oyster mushroom contents. In conclusion, the incorporation of the oyster mushroom into the FFS-based meat analog enhanced the textural properties and antioxidant activity.

본 연구는 기능성 팽화 스낵의 개발을 위하여 우수한 식이섬유소원인 차전자피를 첨가한 쌀 압출성형물의 물리적 특성에 대하여 살펴보았다. 원료 배합비는 쌀을 기본 원료로 하여 차전자피의 함량(0, 7, 14, 21%)을 달리하였고, 압출성형 공정변수는 스크루 회전속도 200 rpm, 사출구 온도 140oC, 수분함량 20%로 조절하였다. 압출성형 후 직경 팽화율, 비길이, 밀도, 겉보기 탄성계수, 파괴력, 조직감, 색도, 수분용해지수, 수분흡착지수, 미세구조를 측정하였다. 직경 팽화율은 차전자피 함량이 증가할수록 감소하였으며, 비길이, 밀도, 겉보기 탄성계수와 파괴력은 증가하는 경향을 보였다. 부착성은 차전자피 함량이 증가할수록 증가하였으며 21% 첨가에서 급격히 증가하였다. 차전자피의 첨가량이 증가할수록 명도는 감소하였고 적색도, 황색도, 총 색도차는 증가하는 경향을 보였다. 수분용해지수와 수분흡착지수는 압출성형 공정 후 모두 증가하였으며 차전자피의 함량이 증가할수록 증가하였다. 미세구조는 차전자피 첨가량이 증가할수록 팽화와 기공의 크기가 감소하여 압출성형물의 밀도가 증가하였다. 결론적으로 차전자피의 첨가량이 증가할수록 팽화를 감소시켜 단단한 조직감을 나타내었고 높은 수분흡수력으로 인해 부착성이 증가하여 14% 이하로 첨가 하는 것이 바람직하다. 또한 차전자피의 함량이 높은 팽화 스낵을 개발하기 위하여 유화제의 첨가 뿐만 아니라 차전 자피의 전처리 등 추가적인 연구가 필요할 것이다.

This study aims to investigate the physical properties of extruded psyllium husk upon the addition of emulsifiers. Three different emulsifiers−glycerol monostearate (GMS), polyglycerol ester (PGE), and sugar ester (SE)−were added to the mixture of psyllium husk and rice powder before extrusion. Extrusion was performed using a twinscrew extruder at 140°C die temperature, 200 rpm screw speed, and 16% feed moisture content. The physical properties of psyllium husk extrudates including expansion ratio, specific length, piece density, texture profile, color properties, water soluble index, and water absorption index were evaluated. It was observed that the expansion ratio was the highest while the specific length and piece density were the lowest in the control which had no emulsifiers. Texture profile analysis showed that the apparent elastic modulus and breaking strength were highest in the extrudate with a PGE of 0.1%. The adhesiveness was found to be lowest in the extrudates with an SE of 0.1% and GMS of 0.5%. Lightness value was highest in the extrudate with a PGE of 0.1%. Color difference, water soluble index, and water absorption index were highest in the control. The results reveal that some physical properties of extruded psyllium husk were improved with the addition of emulsifiers. This finding provides useful information for the development of psyllium snacks with good physical characteristics.

The effects of temperature (150°C and 160°C) on physicochemical properties of extruded texturized vegetable protein with mealworm (0%, 15%) were studied. The extrusion process had a screw speed of 250 rpm, moisture content of 65%. The variation of formula was gluten content of 40% in 4 samples and none of gluten in 4 samples. As addition of mealworm increased and temperature increased, breaking strength and integrity index decreased, The nitrogen solubility index and protein digestibility increased as addition of mealworm increased and temperature decreased. DPPH radical scavenging activity significantly increased as addition of mealworm increased and temperature increased. On the contrary, the value of rancidity decreased as addition of mealworm increased even in 60 days. In conclusion, addition of mealworm became softer texture, and protein quality of the extruded texturized vegetable protein. The process promoting functionality such as improvement of antioxidant function was confirmed through this study. Also, adjusting temperature have an effect on protein content and antioxidation. The addition of gluten of 40% resulted in improving texture of TVP.

This study was performed to determine the quality characteristics of extruded rice flour infant food with mealworm content (0, 15, and 30%) at 110 and 140℃ die temperature and 20 and 25% moisture content. An increase in mealworm content from 0 to 30% led to increased redness, yellowness, color different, water absorption index, reducing sugar, digestibility of protein and rancidity but decreased lightness, water solubility index, and digestibility of starch. Paste viscosity of extrudates increased with increasing mealworm content from 0 to 15% but decreased with increasing mealworm content from 15 to 30%. Elevation of die temperature resulted in increased color difference, water absorption index, and rancidity but decreased water solubility index and digestibility of starch. As moisture content increased, water absorption index and reducing sugar at 140℃ die temperature increased, whereas color difference, water solubility index, and reducing sugar at 110℃ die temperature decreased. In conclusion, addition of mealworm content and extrusion process could enhance nutritional quality and the physicochemical and functional properties of extrudates.

Alcoholic steatosis is a fundamental metabolic disorder and may precede the onset of more severe forms of alcoholic liver disease. In this study, we isolated enzymatichydrolysate from Semisulcospira libertine by alcalase hydrolysis and investigated the protective effect of Semisulcospira libertine hydrolysate on liver injury induced by alcohol in the mouse model of chronic and binge ethanol feeding (NIAAA). In an in vitro study, the hydrolysate protects HepG2 cells from ethanol toxicity. Liver damage was assessed by histopathological examination, as well as by quantitating activities of serum aspartate aminotransferase (AST), alanine aminotransferase (ALT), and alkaline phosphatase (ALP). After the administration of S. libertina hydrolysate, fat accumulation and infiltration of inflammatory cells in liver tissues were significantly decreased in the NIAAA mouse model. The elevated levels of serum AST, ALT, and ALP activities, along with the lipid contents of a damaged liver, were recovered in experimental mice administrated with S. libertina hydrolysate, suggesting its role in blood enzyme activation and lipid content restoration within damaged liver tissues. Moreover, treatment with S. libertine hydrolysate reduced the expression rate of cyclooxygenase (COX-2), interleukin (IL)-1β, and IL-6, which accelerate inflammation and induces tissue damage. All data showed that S. libertine hydrolysate has a preventive role against alcohol-induced liver damages by improving the activities of blood enzymes and modulating the expression of inflammation factor, suggesting S. libertine hydrolysate could be a commercially potential material for the restoration of hepatotoxicity.

The object of this study was to evaluate the physico-chemical characteristics of three varieties of Korean rice extrudates (Samgoang, Solgeng and Chouchong) by using a twin-extruder with a barrel temperature of 140°C, screw speed 200 rpm, moisture content 20%, feed rate 100 g/min and die diameter 3.3 mm. Properties of the extrudates including specific length (SL), expansion ratio (ER), piece density (Pd), water absorption index (WAI), water solubility index (WSI) , color and reducing sugar content were analyzed. Chouchong extrudates expressed the lowest SL the highest ER the lowest Pd and the highest WSI, whereas Samgoang ones were found to have the highest SL, a medium ER, WSI and WAI. Solgeng samples gave the highest SL, medium ER, highest Pd and WAI. The amount of reducing sugar found in extrudates was highest in Chouchong, followed by Samgoang. The lightness (L*) and yellowness (b*) obtained their greatest value with Solgeng, which also presented the lowest value of redness (a*), behind Samgoang. The three varieties of rice presented different physicochemical properties.

The objective of this study was to determine the effect of moisture content(45, 50, 55%), barrel temperature(140, 150°C), screw speed(150, 250 rpm) and two die configurations on the physical properties of extruded soy protein isolate(SPI). Water holding capacity(WHC), texture, integrity index and nitrogen solubility index(NSI) of extruded SPI were analyzed. The texture of extruded SPI was affected by the die configuration. The physical properties of extruded SPI was significantly influenced by barrel temperature, moisture content and die configuration. The increase in water injection rate and barrel temperature led to increase WHC and NSI. The higher water injection rate led to increase integrity index and texture(elasticity, cohesiveness, chewiness, cutting strength). The extruded SPI at 8 cm die configuration had higher integrity index than those of the 5 cm die configuration. Integrity index and NSI were negatively correlated. Thus, the die configuration can be useful to control quality of extruded SPI.

Although Semisulcospira libertina is generally regarded as a supplement for the alleviation of alcohol hangover, little is known about its effects on cell metabolism. Therefore, this study was conducted to analyze the constituents of the extracts prepared using different extraction methods and to compare their biochemical properties. The amino acid contents were found to be much higher in acidic and enzymatic hydrolysates than hot water extracts from S. libertina. DPPH radical scavenging activities in acidic and enzymatic hydrolysates were higher than those of hot water extracts. Three types of S. libertina hydrolysate was added to HepG2 cells damaged by acetaminophen (AAP), after which the survival rate of HepG2 cell were measured. In addition, lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) activities in the culture media were evaluated. The survival rates of HepG2 cells were 77.0±4.3% and 81.5±1.3% at 3 h and 5h enzymatic hydrolysates, respectively. These cell survival rates were higher compared to those of the negative control group (67.8±4.3%) treated only with acetaminophen. Cellular toxicities induced by treatment with AAP were also significantly alleviated in response to treatment with the extracts of S. libertina. In addition, the activities of 2 key enzymes that metabolize ethanol, alcohol dehydrogenase and aldehyde dehydrogenase, were upregulated by 4.7- and 2.7-fold respectively in response to treatment with a 3 h enzymatic hydrolysate of S. libertina. Taken together, these results provide biochemical evidence of the method by which S. libertina exerts its biological functions, including the alleviation of alcohol hangover and the protection of liver cells against toxic insults.

The objective of this study was to determine the effect of moisture contents (40, 50, 60%) and CO2 gas injection (0 and 800 mL/min) on physicochemical properties of extruded soy protein isolate (SPI). The expansion ratio and the specific length increased, but piece density decreased with the increase in CO2 gas injection from 0 to 800 mL/ min at both 40 and 50% moisture contents. On the contrary, the expansion ratio and the specific length decreased, but piece density increased with the increase in CO2 gas injection from 0 to 800 mL/min at 60% moisture content. Extruded SPI with CO2 gas injection at 800 mL/min had small cell size and higher amount of cell than extruded SPI without CO2 gas injection. The water holding capacity and nitrogen solubility index increased, and the integrity index and the texture decreased with the increase in CO2 gas injection from 0 to 800 mL/min. In conclusion, extruded SPI with the CO2 gas injection at 800 mL/min showed better expansion properties and cell formation than extruded SPI without the CO2 gas injection.

This study aims to make extruded rice snack with high quality in texture and nutrition by adding mealworm. Addition of the mealworm has the merit to fill in high-quality protein and unsaturated fatty acids which are insufficient in rice. Thus, the physicochemical properties were investigated through the process of extrusion cooking. As the extrusion process varied, the die temperatures were set to 120oC and 130oC. Also, the moisture contents were adjusted to 30% and 35%. The specific length, the expansion ratio, and the water absorption index increased as the added content of mealworm became higher. On the contrary, the density, the breaking strength, the apparent elastic modulus, and the water solubility index decreased. As mealworm and moisture content increased, DPPH radical scavenging activity significantly increased but the rancidity decreased. As a result, the addition of mealworm to the extruded rice snack was effective in improving texture, nutrition, and antioxidation.
