Cinnamon, a commonly used spice as well as a part of many commodities, such as breakfast cereals, teas and bakery products, represents an important part of the diet. Cinnamon, among many bioactive components, contains an important active compound coumarin. Numerous studies have shown that coumarin has a beneficial health effect on the body in optimal consumption, while increased long-term consumption can lead to adverse health effects. In this paper, the amount of coumarin in ten different products found on the Croatian market, including ground spices and teas, was analyzed. In addition, different extraction parameters were analyzed in order to find the best method of extraction of coumarin from cinnamon and products containing cinnamon.

Modelling and optimization represent an important aspect of drying in food processing, providing a fast and convenient means for quality prediction. The research focuses on modelling and optimization of process parameters such as drying rate, water loss, solid gain, vitamin C, manganese, and iron of dried osmo-pretreated onion slices. Least square regression analysis in the Math-lab computer software was used to model and optimise the process parameters., Six (6) mathematical models were developed for each output from the regression analysis that was carried out. The criteria for adjudging these models were the values of their adjusted coefficient of multiple determinations, prediction error sum of squares (also called deleted residual), R2 for prediction, coefficient of variation CV, and the Dubin-Watson test for autocorrelation. The models were checked for adequacy using these criteria, and those found to be adequate were selected from among the other possible combinations. Hence, the best-optimized obtained results from the models are 27.50 g/h, 1.61 g/g, 0.15 g/g, 77.52 mg/100 g, 2.79 mg/1000 g, and 2.19 mg/1000 g for drying rate, water loss, solid gain, vitamin C, manganese, and iron, respectively.

The growing world population with increasingly demanding consumers has led to considering insects as part of are normal diet since they are good sources of proteins, and could therefore potentially contribute to global food security. This study produced Oryctes rhinoceros L. larvae powder and investigated the impact of preparation and processing methods (degutted; roasted and dried) on some quality parameters of O. rhinoceros larvae powder. Each batch was prepared with and without their gut respectively. Physico-chemical analyses were determined on the powder, while sensory evaluation was carried out on the whole O. rhinoceros larvae using standard procedures. Moisture content of the powders ranged from 3.57 - 5.66%, protein content (51.60 - 62.65%), fat (8.71 – 12.67%), ash (3.97 - 10.25%), fibre (15.57 - 19.52%) and carbohydrate (0.12 - 6.56%). The results of functional properties revealed a range of 2.64 – 2.98 mg/g for water absorption capacity, oil absorption capacity of 2.43- 2.70 mg/g and bulk density of 0.48 – 0.51 g/mL. Processing (roasting and oven drying) had no significant effect on the sensory and physico-chemical properties of whole O. rhinoceros larvae and O. rhinoceros larvae powder, while the removal of the gut significantly contributed to the improvement of the quality and sensory appeal of O. rhinoceros larvae.

Spectrophotometric methods for the determination of total polyphenols and total flavonoids are often used because they are simple, sensitive, and precise. Before using these methods, they must be validated to ensure the quality of the obtained data and to prove that the method is suitable for its purpose. The aim of this study was to validate the spectrophotometric methods for total polyphenols and total flavonoids. The method for total polyphenols has been validated according to polyphenol standards, which belong to the groups of phenolic acids (p-hydroxybenzoic acid, sinapic acid, ferulic acid), flavan-3-ols ((-)-epicatechin), flavonols (myricetin, kaempferol), and anthocyanins (cyanidin-3-glucoside). For the validation of the method for total flavonoids, the same polyphenol standards belonging to flavan-3-ols, flavonols, and anthocyanins have been used. The validation parameters were linearity, sensitivity, limit of detection, limit of quantification, precision, and accuracy. The results of the validation for both methods were in acceptable ranges, except for kaempferol in the method for total flavonoids. In conclusion, these methods can be used for the determination of total polyphenols and total flavonoids by using calibration curves of studied polyphenol standards, except for the kaempferol standard in the method for total flavonoids, due to lower sensitivity

Apples are one of the most popular foods around the world. However, recently there has been a growing interest in the preservation of traditional apple varieties. This interest has grown due to the studies that suggest that traditional apples contain higher amounts of polyphenolics and antioxidant activity compared to commercial ones. Polyphenolics in apples have gained much attention because of their beneficial effects on human health, and thus they became a quality trait of apples. Traditional apple varieties have the same groups of polyphenols as commercial ones and those are flavan-3-ols, phenolic acids, flavonols, dihydrochalcones, and anthocyanins. However, traditional apple varieties proved to be rich in some individual polyphenolics, such as procyanidins B1, B2, A2, epicatechin, quercetin-3-rutinoside, chlorogenic acid, etc. This chapter is underlying the great potential of traditional apple varieties as a source of some individual polyphenolics and natural antioxidants.

This study aimed at examining the effect of supercritical carbon dioxide (ScCO2) extraction on the subsequent extraction of the Viola odorata polar bioactive components. The raw material was firs submitted to ScCO2 extraction for the extraction of the lipophilic fraction. Then the exhausted raw material was subjected to ultrasound-assisted extraction (UAE) and microwave-assisted extraction (MAE) in order to extract the polar components. ScCO2 extraction was performed under the pressure of 300 bar and at a temperature of 40 °C for 4 hours. In order to see the effect of ScCO2, the UAE and MAE (50% aqueous ethanol solution as solvent) were conducted on both exhausted (residue-after the ScCO2) and unexploited raw materials. Also, the impact of the various UAE and MAE conditions was tested. The UAE was conducted on two different temperatures (40 and 50 °C) at the constant extraction time (40 and 20 min). MAE was conducted on two different extraction powers (470 and 800 W) and at the constant extraction time (10 min). The results were focused on the content of total phenols, total flavonoids and antioxidant activity of the obtained extracts. The yield during the ScCO2 process was 1.43% (w/w). It was noted that the extracts obtained by applying UAE and MAE after the ScCO2 were noticeably richer in the content of total phenols. UAE conditions of 40 °C and 20 min showed the highest yield of total phenols, recording 70.38 mg GAE/g DE, while the MAE at the power of 470 W achieved 11.89% higher yield of polyphenols in residue extracts. The antioxidant activity has also been in correlation with the concentration of polyphenols.

The thin layer drying characteristics of blanch-assisted water yam slices were investigated with respect to its un-blanched water yam slices in a convective hot air oven. The yam slices (diameter 4 cm; thickness 0.8 cm) were dried at temperatures 50, 60 and 70 °C, respectively with a constant air velocity of 0.13 m/s. The drying data obtained were fitted into six existing drying models: Page, Newton, Midilli, Henderson and Pabis, Logarithmic and Diffusion model. Non-linear regression analysis was used to determine the model parameters; the coefficient of determination (R2) and standard error of estimates (SEE) in order to determine the model best fit. The study showed that the drying process occurred in the falling rate drying period. The blanch-assisted slices had a faster drying rate than the un-blanched yam slices. Among the models, the diffusion model gave the overall best fit for the drying data obtained. The effective moisture diffusivity ranged from 3.18×10-8 to 4.47×10-8 m2/s for the blanch-assisted slices and from 4.73×10-8 to 7.33×10-8 m2/s for the un-blanched slices. The activation energies of the blanch-assisted and un-blanched yam slices were 15.5 kJ/mol and 20.1 kJ/mol, respectively. These processing conditions obtained for water yam flour would be suitable for its process design and control thereby enhancing its utilization and overall acceptability.

Food formulations that incorporate soy ingredients are being exploited as veritable alternatives. Cheese analogues are healthy alternatives to obtain the benefits of consuming functional foods. There is a need to enhance the production and quality of soy cheese. In this study, soy cheese (tofu) samples were prepared from soybean using four selected coagulants - Moringa oleifera seed extract (MC), tamarind seed extract (TC), lime juice (LC) and alum (AC). The effects of the coagulants on the physicochemical, microbial and sensory qualities of the soy cheese samples were evaluated. The results of the physical properties of the samples showed that MC had higher yield (12.84%) and acidity (0.37%), while AC had the highest values in hardness (84.55%) and dry matter (36.72%) content. The result of the proximate composition revealed that MC had the lowest moisture content (60.52 %) and the highest protein content (22.51%). The ash content of the soy cheese samples from plant coagulants MC (3.00%), TC (2.80%) and LC (3.5%) were lower than that of the alum coagulant AC (3.89%). The cheese from alum coagulant (AC) had more minerals than those from plant coagulants. TC had the highest vitamin C (2.69 mg/100 g), while MC had the highest vitamin B1 (6.07 mg/100 g) and B2 (29.21 mg/100 g) contents. There was no detection of coliform in the soy cheese samples. There were no significant differences (p>0.05) in the appearance and overall acceptability of MC sample and LC sample MC sample from Moringa oleifera seed extract coagulant had the highest sensory scores for flavour (8.35), texture (8.40) and overall acceptability (8.63). The results of quality properties of the cheese samples differed with the coagulants used. Moringa Oleifera coagulated cheese (MC) had superiority in nutrients and sensory qualities Hence, it is recommended for tofu production.

TC had the highest vitamin C (2.69 mg/100 g), while MC had the highest vitamin B1 (6.07 mg/100 g) and B2 (29.21 mg/100 g) contents. There was no detection of coliform in the soy cheese samples. There were no significant differences (p>0.05) in the appearance and overall acceptability of MC sample and LC sample MC sample from Moringa oleifera seed extract coagulant had the highest sensory scores for flavour (8.35), texture (8.40) and overall acceptability (8.63). The results of quality properties of the cheese samples differed with the coagulants used. Moringa Oleifera coagulated cheese (MC) had superiority in nutrients and sensory qualities Hence, it is recommended for tofu production.","PeriodicalId":10771,"journal":{"name":"Croatian journal of food science and technology","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43797674","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Breadfruit milk (BM) is an unpopular nutritive drink compared to soymilk and ia mostly consumed along with the seeds when boiled. Blending with soymilk will give a novel functional drink with enhanced nutritive value to prevent hidden hunger, enhance stability and may popularize the blend. Soymilk and BM from soaked and boiled dehulled African breadfruit were blended in 95:5%, 90:10% and 50:50% ratios, respectively, while 100% soymilk and 100% BM served as controls. Proximate, vitamin, mineral, anti-nutrient and physicochemical analyses were conducted on the milk blends using standard methods. Sensory properties were determined by subjective evaluation with semi-trained panellists. With increasing BM inclusion, proximate composition revealed increase in moisture content (93.60 to 94.05%) and carbohydrate (0.3 to 0.93%) while total solids (TS) (6.40 to 5.95%), ash (0.55 to 0.49%), fat (2.70 to1.85%) and protein (2.93 to 2.70%) decreased. Vitamin A (0.62 to 1.48 µg/100 mL) increased while vitamin B1 (0.12 to 0.08 mg/100 mL) and vitamin C (4.05 to 3.21 mg/100 mL) decreased. Calcium (0.59 to 0.53 mg/100 mL), phosphorus (8.05 to 7.33 mg/100 mL), zinc (0.75 to 0.63 mg/100 mL) and iron (0.59 to 0.54 mg/100 mL) decreased. Flavonoid (0.15 to 0.09 mg/100 mL), saponin (0.13 to 0.9 mg/100 mL), tannin (0.39 to o.29 mg/100 mL), phytate (0.23 to 0.17 mg/100 mL) and oxalate (0.27 to 0.19 mg/100 mL) decreased. Titratable acidity (TTA) (0.23 to 0.26) and visible coagulation time (VCT) (15 to 19 days) increased while pH (6.33 to 5.59), and viscosity (0.48 to 0.45 mPa) decreased. General acceptability (7.01 to 6.41) decreased. The nutrient contents of all the milk blends varied due to increasing concentration effects of the ash, but were acceptable to the panellists mostly at lower levels.

Sweeteners play a vital role in the food industry serving either as preservative or as addition to consumables. The high intake of sweetener brought about production of artificially synthesized sweetener which has, in turn, given a reason of concern for health on a long term. Cassava is one of the mostly cultivated crops in Nigeria with cassava possessing the highest level of starch compared to other crops. This research explores the abundance of cassava, converting its starch into sweetener (glucose). An extraction test rig was developed as part of the study to extract sweetener from cassava. A 2x3x3 factorial experiment was used to carry out the experiment and the factors considered were cassava varieties (Manihot dulcis and Manihot palmatal), delay period (15, 30 and 45 minutes) and quantity of starch (1, 2 and 4 kg). The SPSS 20.0 was used to carry out the Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) for the measured parameters. The sugar concentration analysis carried out on the cassava sweetener (Manihot dulcis) and (Manihot palmatal), gave values 13.02 and 17.57 mg/mL, respectively which were in line with the established cassava sweetener with value of 12.43 mg/mL. The ANOVA showed the interactive effect of cassava variety, delay period and quantity of starch on the nutritional composition of the sweetener on a 5% confidence level. The result revealed the highest extraction efficiency of which full hydrolysis for cassava variety (Manihot palmatal), 45minutes delay period and 2 kg quantity of starch compared with cassava variety (Manihot dulcis) 45 minutes delay period and 2 kg quantity of starch that gave the extraction efficiency of 76.93% and 78.03%, respectively. In nutritional value and sugar concentration comparison, the cassava sweetener obtained gave values closer to the established cassava sweetener and, as such, is a proper replacement for artificial sweetener.
