This study investigated the physicochemical properties of protein-fortified rice flour by mixing rice flour (RF) with untreated and fermented plant proteins. Fermented faba bean protein concentrate (FMFP) and chickpea flour (FMCF) were prepared by solid-state fermentation of faba bean protein concentrate (UTFP) and chickpea flour (UTCF) using Bacillus subtilis. FMFP and FMCF exhibited higher crude protein, reducing sugar and starch contents more than their counterparts. The increased rate of essential and branched-chain amino acids in FMFP and FMCF exceeded that of crude protein. Adding plant proteins to RF decreased swelling power (SP) and increased solubility in RF-UTFP and RF-FMFP mixtures, while SP and solubility increased in RF-UTCF and RF-FMCF mixtures. All RF-plant protein mixtures showed higher gelatinization temperature and lower gelatinization enthalpy than RF. Thermal gelation was found in all RF-plant protein mixtures, but the RF-FMCF mixture may form weak and unstable gel structures. The increase in pasting viscosity was minimal for the RF-UTFP and RF-FMFP mixtures but more pronounced for the RF-UTCF and RF-FMCF mixtures. Overall, FMFP may be a potential protein source to supplement the protein deficiency in RF with minimal changes in RF-based foods’ rheological and textural properties.

This study investigated the changes in the cyanogenic glycoside (CN-Glc) content of maesil chung (MC) prepared according to its preparation conditions (i.e., maesil part, sugar type, maesil-sugar mixing ratio, liquid separation) and sugaring-ripening period and the quality characteristics of their products finalized through filtration and heat treatment (85oC, 30 min) with the 6-month ripened MC. The CN-Glc content dramatically decreased when the maesil flesh, isomaltooligosaccharide, maesil:sugar ratio of 5:5, and liquid separation after the 4-month sugaring were applied to the MC production. The CN-Glc content decreased with the ripening period. There was no effect of filtration and heat treatment on the CN-Glc reduction of the MC product. The sugar type predominantly affected the soluble solid and total carbohydrate content of the MC products, and their contents increased in the order of high-fructose corn syrup > sucrose > isomaltooligosaccharide. The MC product at a maesil:sugar ratio of 6:4 exhibited the higher organic acid content. There was no direct association between the total polyphenolic compound content and the preparation conditions of the MC product. Overall, the use of maesil flesh as a maesil ingredient and more than 6-month ripening after liquid separation may be a pivotal factor in producing the cyanogenic glycoside-reduced maesil chung.

The objective of this study was to investigate changes in the cyanogenic glycoside (CN-Glc) content of apricot and plum chungs over the sugaring-ripening period and to evaluate their quality characteristics. The whole and flesh parts of the apricot and plum were mixed with sugar to a mixing ratio of 1:1 (w/w) to prepare their chungs, after which the fruit-sugar mixtures were stored for 13 months. The CN-Glc content dramatically increased within 3-4 months, reached the maximum, and gradually decreased over storage by 13 months. The apricot and plum chungs with seeds exhibited much higher CN-Glc contents than those without seeds. All chungs stored for 10 months were filtrated and treated for 30 min at 85oC to measure their quality characteristics. Similar soluble solid contents (53.4- 53.6oBx) were found in all chungs. The apricot and plum chungs without seeds exhibited the higher concentrations of total carbohydrate, organic acid, and total polyphenolic compounds than those with seeds. In addition, the color of the apricot and plum chungs without seeds was darker and deeper yellow than those with seeds. Overall, the apricot and plum flesh may be better for producing the stone fruit chungs with minimal CN-Glc content and better nutrition.

The objective of this study was to determine chemical compositions affecting the physical and thermal properties of the textured vegetable protein (TVP). The 14 commercial TVPs were pulverized, followed by analyzing their morphology, chemical composition, water absorption index (WAI) and water solubility index (WSI) (for the pulverized and original TVPs), solubility, swelling power, melting property, and hardness. All TVPs showed the rough surface with irregular cracks and pores and the porous structure with varied pore sizes. WAI was positively correlated to moisture and crude protein contents and negatively correlated to the total carbohydrate content. WSI and solubility were directly and reversely influenced by the crude ash and total carbohydrate contents and the crude protein and total starch contents, respectively. The swelling power and melting temperature of TVPs did not significantly affect chemical compositions. Melting enthalpies increased with crude ash content, while decreased with the total starch content. The hardness of the rehydrated TVPs was enhanced with their crude ash and total carbohydrate contents, whereas reduced with their crude protein and total starch contents. Overall, the yield and texture of the rehydrated TVP could be modulated with the crude protein and ash contents of TVP.

This study compares the amygdalin content and quality characteristics of maesil chung prepared with different maesil cultivars. Maesil fruits were sugared for 3 months, aged for 3 months after the liquid separation, and heat treated at 75oC for 30 min. Amygdalin in maesil chung generally peaked at the second month of sugaring and gradually decreased until three months of sugaring. During the first month of aging, amygdalin dramatically decreased and then gradually decreased by additional aging for two months. For the end-use maesil chungs (subjected to heat treatment), the amygdalin content ranged from 68.5 to 179.4 ppm, the soluble solid content from 58.8 to 62.3 oBrix, and the 5-HMF from 3.5 to 13.4 ppm. Their color characteristics exhibited a brightness of 26.8-27.6, a redness of 9.4-10.5, and a yellowness of 5.3-6.9. Their total sugar content was in 34.2-44.7%, consisting of 1.8-2.1 mg/mL glucose, 1.6-2.0 mg/mL fructose, and 1.3-1.9 mg/mL sucrose. Only malic acid and citric acid were detected in the enduse maesil chungs. While the trace amounts of Na and Fe were found, K, P, and Ca were relatively rich.

식품첨가물등급의 protease를 이용하여 쌀가루로부터 쌀 전분을 분리하는 효소적 쌀전분 분리·정제법을 구축하기 위해 protease의 반응시간, 반응온도와 농도를 요인으로 하여 변형된 23 완전요인설계법에 따라 protease 반응조건들을 설계하고 이에 따른 쌀전분들의 수율을 조사하였다. 설계된 반응조건들에 따라 제조된 쌀전분들의 수율들에 기초한 반응표면분석을 통해 쌀전분 수율에 대한 protease 반응조건들의 영향을 조사하였다. 또한 효소적 분리·정제법에 의한 쌀전분들의 상업적 활용도를 평가하기 위해 알칼리침지법에 의해 제조된 쌀전분(대조군)과 물리화학적 특성을 대해 비교 분석하였다. Protease를 이용한 효소적 분리· 정제법에 의한 쌀전분들의 수율은 대조군보다 낮았지만 그 상대적 순도는 높은 수준을 나타내었다. Protease에 미량 함유되어 있는 amylase 계통의 효소들에 의한 쌀전분의 부분적인 손상이 예상됨에도 1.5% protease를 이용하여 15℃에서 24시간 동안 처리하여 제조된 쌀전분(RST2)의 아밀로오스 함량은 대조군의 것과 유의적인 차이를 보이지 않았다. 용해도는 효소적 분리·정제법에 의한 쌀전분들이 대조군보다 유의적으로 높은 수준을 나타내었다. 팽윤력은 RST2와 0.5% protease를 이용하여 15℃에서 24시간 동안 처리하여 제조된 쌀전분(RST3)이 대조군과 유의적인 차이를 보이지 않았다. 호화온도는 대조군에 비해 효소적 분리 ·정제법에 의한 쌀전분들이 높은 수준을 나타내었으나 호화엔탈피는 유의적으로 낮은 수준이었다. 페이스팅 점도는 대조군에 비해 효소적 분리·정제법에 의한 쌀전분들이 모든 온도프로파일에 있어 낮은 수준을 나타내었다. 이와 같은 결과들은 효소적 분리·정제법에 사용된 protease에 미량 함유되어 있는 amylase 계통의 효소들에 의한 쌀전분의 부분적인 손상과 protease 처리하는 동안 쌀전분에 있어 annealing이 진행된 결과인 것으로 생각된다. 그럼에도 본 연구에서 효소적 분리·정제법에 의해 제조된 쌀전분들은 높은 고형분 함량을 요구하며, 페이스트의 겔화 또는 노화의 진행이 지연되는 특성을 가공식품의 원료로 적합한 것으로 판단된다. 따라서 효소적 분리·정제법에 의한 쌀전분들은 기존의 알칼리 침지법에 의한 쌀전분과는 다른 특성을 보유한 쌀전분 소재로서 활용가능성이 있을 것으로 생각된다. 또한 효소적 분리·정제법은 알칼리 침지법에 비해 쌀전분의 제조 시간을 단축할 수 있으며, 고농도의 염용액을 배출하지 않아 경제적인 방법인 것으로 판단된다.

The effects of chemical compositions (protein, lipid, and dietary fiber) on the physical properties of dried biji powders were investigated. The raw biji was freeze-dried (control) and hot-air dried (untreated). The untreated biji was further defatted and deproteinated. The prepared biji powders were analyzed for the proximate composition, total dietary fiber (TDF), water absorption index (WAI), water solubility index (WSI), swelling power, solubility (including the quantification of soluble carbohydrate and protein fractions), and final viscosity (using a rapid visco analyzer). Control and untreated biji powders exhibited the similar chemical compositions. The defatted biji possessed higher TDF, although its protein content did not significantly differ for control and untreated ones. The deproteinated biji consisted mainly of TDF. WAI and swelling power increased in the order: deproteinated > defatted > control > untreated biji powders. WSI and solubility increased in the order: control > untreated > defatted > deproteinated biji powders. The similar patterns were observed for soluble carbohydrate and protein fractions. The deproteinated biji revealed the highest viscosity over applied temperatures, while the untreated one was lowest. Overall results suggested that the physical properties of the dried biji powder were reduced by protein and fat, but enhanced by dietary fiber.

The objective of this study was to increase the efficiency of starch extraction from potato sludge by different concentration of food-grade hemicellulase. The potato sludge, which is a by-product of potato processing industry, was treated with food-grade hemicellulase. Starch extraction efficiency displayed no significant difference in hemicellulase concentration. The purities of potato starch increased from 83.40 to 95.91, 97.44, 95.58, and 97.79%, with treated 0.5, 0.75, 1.0, and 1.5% hemicellulase, respectively. The physicochemical properties of the starches, such as granule structure, particle size, pasting, and thermal transition, were not affected by the concentration of hemicellulase. These results indicate that food-grade hemicellulase treatment is an efficient method for starch extraction from potato sludge.

This study investigated the effects of the mixing ratio of tofu paste and normal corn starch on the characteristics of gluten-free (GF) muffins. Soft wheat flour for wheat flour-based muffins (control) was replaced with the mixture of tofu paste and normal corn starch (NCS). The mixing ratios of tofu paste and NCS were 1:6.4 (S100), 1:5.1 (S80), 1:3.8 (S60), 1:2.6 (S40), 1:1.3 (S20), and 1:0 (S00), based on their total solid contents. GF muffins of S40- S100 developed the porous, sponge-like structure without crumb collapse. The weight and baking loss did not significantly differ in the control and GF muffins. By decreasing NCS in GF muffin batters, the moisture content, firmness, and crumb redness/yellowness of GF muffins increased, while their volume, specific volume, and crumb lightness decreased. Nevertheless, these characteristics (except for firmness) of S100 were much closer to those of the control. In the preference test, however, S60 (possessing lower attributes than S100 and S80) was most favored among GF muffins, and was very similar in all evaluations (except for appearance) to the control. Overall, the mixture of tofu paste and NCS would be a potential material to replace soft wheat flour in muffins.
