Aim: Medicinal plants and their extracts represent a rich source of crude medications that possess therapeutic properties. Physico-chemical properties of two different rice varieties (Jandhan and Sugapankhi) of North India collected from Uttar Pradesh and a starter culture cake collected from Arunachal Pradesh used in the process of rice beer preparation were analyzed. This study evaluates the development of rice beer from Oryza sativa and physico-chemical analysis of developed rice beer. Study Design: The present study was conducted in 3 phases- Collection of raw materials Production of rice beer Physico-chemical analysis of developed rice beer Place and Duration of the Study: The present study was conducted in the Department of Food and Nutrition of Babasaheb Bhimrao Ambedkar University, Lucknow. The duration of the study is 3 months i.e. from Jan, 2023 - March, 2023. Methodology: Rice beer was developed in the laboratory under optimum conditions through fermentation followed by filtration and distillation. Collection of the raw materials was done from the local markets of North India and North-east, India. In the present study we have compared physico-chemical properties between two rice varieties i.e. Jandhan and Sugapankhi. Results: Various physico-chemical parameters (pH, TSS, total acidity, volatile acidity, turbidity, and alcohol content) of rice beer were determined. The pH decreased with storage time, and acidic pH was noted for the beer in ambient storage. An increase with time in the total acidity, volatile acidity, and alcohol % of rice beer was observed. The final recorded alcohol % value of rice beer was in the range of 8-10%. The alcohol content increased throughout the storage. Statistical analysis was performed for comparison between the two samples of rice. Saccharomyces cerevisiae isolated from the starter culture cake was found to be the major organism responsible for rice beer fermentation. Conclusion: The preparation of rice beer needs scientific input for increasing its shelf-life and value addition for its marketing and improving its shelf-life for better quality and acceptability.

Edible mushrooms consumed in Benin include a diversity of species including oyster mushrooms (Pleurotus ostreatus). This Oyster mushroom production is increasing in the South of the country. The study aims to evaluate their techno-functional, nutritional and sensory properties in order to optimize their exploitation in food technology and gastronomy. Therefore, 900g of Pleurotus ostreatus were produced on Oil Palm By- Products and divided into three lots of 300g for the study. Lot 1 was used to evaluate the techno-functional and nutritional parameters of fresh mushrooms. Lot 2 was brined while lot 3 was dried. Samples from all three lots were collected and used to study the variability in sensory quality by treatment. The study shows that Pleurotus ostreatus mushrooms produced in Benin have several technological-functional and nutritional benefits that can be used for food security. The luminance values (L*), red index (a*) and yellow index (b*) for fresh oyster mushrooms were respectively 74.6, 2.78 and 26.35. The hue value and the chroma value of the raw mushrooms were respectively of 5.98 and 26.49. The pH of fresh oyster mushrooms was 6.35. The water holding capacity was 11.85% and the technological yield was 88.15%. Nutritionally, the dry matter, fat, ash and protein content of the Pleurotus ostreatus were 9.8%, 2.6%, 6.7%, and 14.78% respectively. About sensorial quality, fresh and brined mushrooms were better appreciated than dried mushrooms. Overall, Pleurotus ostreatus mushrooms produced in palm residues have several techno-functional and nutritional assets and may be promoted for food and nutritional security.

Aims: To assessing the effect of boiling and fermentation on Proximate, mineral, dietary fibre and phytochemical compositions of the raw and processed Lentinus squarrosulus mushroom. Study Design: The mushroom was cultivated, processed into boiled and fermented flour and then analysed. Place and Duration of the Study: Department of Food Science and Technology, the Federal University of Technology, Akure, Ondo State and Department of Food Technology, The Federal Polytechnic, Ado Ekiti, between February 2020 and March 2022. Methodology: Lentinus squarrosulus spawn was obtained and grown into edible mushroom. The mushroom was divided into three, two portions were processed into boiled and fermented mushroom and the third one was used as control. The three samples were analysed for proximate, mineral, dietary fibre and phytochemical compositions. Results: The proximate composition revealed that moisture content ranged between 10.78-11.66%, ash 5.58-6.11%, fat 3.93-5.10%, crude fibre 6.79-7.29%, protein 16.88-20.53%, carbohydrate 51.24-53.88% and the energy value 321.41-330.15 kcal/100 g. Fermentation helped to improve the protein content of the sample. Mineral composition revealed that the samples were significantly different (p<0.05). Fermented sample had higher value in sodium, phosphorus, magnesium and iron, boiled sample was high in calcium and selenium while raw mushroom was high in manganese and zinc. Boiled sample has the least soluble fibre but high in insoluble fibre, this may be as a result of the soluble fibre being dissolved in water during boiling, but fermentation improved the soluble fibre content. The phytochemical composition revealed that fermentation improved the saponin and cardiac glycoside, boiling improved the terpenoid and cardiac glycoside while phlobatannin was only present in a small quantity in raw sample. Conclusion: Fermentation and boiling process helped to improve some nutrients in the processed mushroom flour and they can be used as food supplements.

The market for plant-based proteins, particularly alternatives to dairy products, is growing due to health benefits and environmental concerns. Many people are adopting plant-based diets, due to lactose intolerance, vegan and vegetarian lifestyles; thus, promoting lactose-free and cholesterol-free alternatives to milk-derived products such as ice cream. Rice, which is a lactose and gluten free product, as well as low in fat, and calories, could be a promising substitute for dairy milk in foods such as ice cream. In the current study, the development of a novel recipe for ice cream based on brown rice milk was investigated. After standardizing the rice milk production protocol, six combinations of hydrocolloids were used as emulsifiers, as well as four sweeteners for granulated sugar substitution were tested. In all formulations, meltdown and overrun parameters were measured and at the final stage organoleptic evaluation was conducted to determine the level of sensory panel acceptance. In conclusion, it was evident that the rice milk-based ice cream, which combines xanthan gum, guar gum, k-carrageenan, with 30% sugar substitution with stevia, was the formulation with the highest acceptance in the physiological characteristics and sensory evaluation.

Aims: To isolate, identify and characterize thermoduric psychrotrophic bacteria from locally available market samples of pasteurized milk. Study Design: Market samples of pasteurized milk were collected, subjected to laboratory pasteurization and thermoduric psychrotrophic bacteria were enumerated after 10 days of storage at 7ºC.The isolates obtained were identified by 16S rRNA sequencing and subsequent blasting. The isolates were characterized in terms of haemolytic, lipolytic and proteolytic activities. Selected isolates were also assessed for their decimal reduction time at 63ºC. Place and Duration of Study: Verghese Kurien Institute of Dairy and Food Technology, (Formerly College of Dairy Science and Technology), Mannuthy, Thrissur, Kerala between September, 2019 to March, 2021. Methodology: A total of 42 market samples of pasteurized milk belonging to seven different brands were assessed for their thermoduric psychrotrophic bacterial population. The thermoduric psychrotrophic bacterial isolates were identified by 16S rRNA sequencing and the sequences obtained were searched with the NCBI BLAST program (http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov) for their closest relatives/reference strains with a homology of over or equal to 99 per cent. Haemolytic, proteolytic and lipolytic activities of the isolates were determined by streaking them on blood agar, skim milk agar (SMA) and tributyrin agar respectively and grading them based on the presence or absence of zone of clearance around the colonies developed. Decimal reduction time at 63ºC of two selected isolates was also determined. Results: Six thermoduric psychrotrophic bacteria were isolated from the 42 market samples of pasteurized milk i.e., only 14.3 % of tested samples had thermoduric psychrotrophic bacterial population. 16S rRNA sequencing and subsequent blasting identified the isolates as Aeromonas caviae, Moraxella osloensis, Delftia tsuruhatensis, Staphylococcus arlettae and two strains of Carnobacterium maltaromaticum. On assessing the haemolytic activity of the isolates, A.caviae DMV01 exhibited α haemolytic activity whereas Staphylococcus arlettae DMV02, M. osloensis DMV03, C. maltaromaticum DMV05 and C. maltaromaticum DMV06 exhibited ϒ haemolytic activities. A. caviae DMV01 was found to be lipolytic and the two Carnobacterium strains exhibited proteolytic activities. Staphylococcus arlettae DMV02 was found to be both proteolytic and lipolytic. Aeromonas caviae DMV01 exhibited D63 value of 4 minutes 38 seconds whereas for Moraxella osloensis DMV03 it was 25 minutes 18 seconds. Conclusion: Exhibition of heat resistance by microorganisms capable of low temperature growth presents quite a challenging situation in terms of quality assurance and shelf life extension of pasteurized milk. So it is high time that dairy industry takes up initiatives to remain updated with the changes happening in pasteurized milk microflora in order to address the challenges such microorganisms may p

A. caviae DMV01 was found to be lipolytic and the two Carnobacterium strains exhibited proteolytic activities. Staphylococcus arlettae DMV02 was found to be both proteolytic and lipolytic. Aeromonas caviae DMV01 exhibited D63 value of 4 minutes 38 seconds whereas for Moraxella osloensis DMV03 it was 25 minutes 18 seconds. \u0000Conclusion: Exhibition of heat resistance by microorganisms capable of low temperature growth presents quite a challenging situation in terms of quality assurance and shelf life extension of pasteurized milk. So it is high time that dairy industry takes up initiatives to remain updated with the changes happening in pasteurized milk microflora in order to address the challenges such microorganisms may p","PeriodicalId":8518,"journal":{"name":"Asian Food Science Journal","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-04-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"89586210","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}

Aims: To model and optimize complementary foods based on their mixture ingredients viz. African breadfruit, soybean and maize, and their depending quality characteristics namely, energy, carbohydrate, fat, ash, protein, flavor, taste, general acceptability and paste viscosity, and determine the amino acid qualities of the optimized formula. Study Design: Experimental research (controlled experiment). Place and Duration of Study: The Department of Food Science and Technology, Michael Okpara University of Agriculture, Umudike between 2011 and 2015. Methodology: The D-optimal three factor mixture design fitted into the second order canonical model was adopted, and the factor ranges were set at 64-80 % (African breadfruit), 19-35 % (soybean) and 1-9 % (maize) which yielded twenty blends (including replications) based on the mixture design combination. Each mixture component was expressed as a proportion of the mixture such that the sum was equal to 100 %. Results: The results of the analyses were: 379.51-411 kcal/100 g (energy), 53.59-63.62 % (carbohydrate), 8-6 % (fat), 3.03-4.28 % (ash), 10.31-14.64 % (protein), 6-like slightly to 8-like very much (flavor, taste and general acceptability) and 5770-5800mPa.s (paste viscosity). Protein and energy were exceptionally high with all the values of protein exceeding the minimum standard recommended for complementary foods. The models for energy, fat, taste and paste viscosity were excellent for prediction due to the quality of their PRESS and predicted r-squared hence their selection for the numerical optimization which resulted in the prediction of 69:24:7 (African breadfruit: soybean: maize) as the optimized formula. Amino acid evaluation of this optimized formula showed that the values compared favourably with standards (WHO/FAO/UNU reference pattern and egg reference protein). Conclusion: The selection of 69:24:7 as the optimized formula indicates that complementary food can be produced with the African breadfruit as a base at 69% inclusion, while its amino acid profile suggests that its protein could be nutritionally adequate.

The edible film is an alternative that can be used as eco-friendly packaging material (biodegradable) as a plastic substitute. The material that can be used in making edible films is glucomannan, which can dissolve easily but is less elastic. The development of the necessary edibles that can be applied to foodstuffs requires a combination of ingredients that are easy to dissolve in water. These materials can be used derived from hydrocolloids or polysaccharides. The research to obtain edible film formulated glucomannan and gelatin with the best physical quality, fast sealing and fast dissolving. The research material used glucomannan and gelatin with different concentrations designed by 5 treatments and 3 replications consisting of T1: 0,5% gelatin, T2: 0.625% gelatin, T3: 0.75% gelatin, T4: 0,875 gelatin and T5: 1% gelatin. The variables tested were solubility, total soluble matter, swelling, water content, thickness, L*, a*, b* color, browning index and whiteness index. The research method was experimental, analyzed with Analysis of Variance using Completely Randomized Design and if there were differences continued using Duncan’s Multiple Range Test. The results showed highly significant differences (P<0.01) on swelling and thickness. The results showed significant differences (P<0.05) on total soluble matter, water content and L* color. However, there were no significant differences (P>0.05) on solubility, a* color, b* color, browning index and whiteness index. The results of the data based on physical quality consist of solubility ranging from 11.2-24.5%, total soluble matter 27.6-60.6%, swelling 3.49-7.75%, water content 11.5-12.15%, thickness 0.09-0.14 mm, L* color 91.3-92.5, a* color 0.78-1, b* color 1.52-2.81, browning index 2.23-3.7 and whiteness index 94.51-99.34. In conclusion, the use of edible films formulated with glucomannan and gelatin with a concentration of 0.5% produces the best physical quality, the resulting edible film has high solubility and is easy to seal.

Mucuna pruriens seed is an underutilized legume with good nutritional value with a possibility of changes in its micronutrients’ composition during processing whose data is scanty. Mucuna pruriens seed flour was therefore evaluated for the effect of soaking, cooking, roasting, germination and fermentation as well as some double treatments on its vitamin and mineral contents. Mucuna pruriens seeds were cleaned, washed, soaked, cooked, roasted, germinated and fermented. Vitamins and minerals composition were determined. Soaking, cooking and roasting significantly reduced (p<0.05) all the vitamins. Vitamin B9 was significantly (p<0.05) reduced the most with a range of 0.28 – 21.88 mg/100g. Vitamins B1, B2, B3 and B12 were significantly increased by fermentation with vitamin B2 increased the most (0.26 to 1.50 mg/100g; represents 577% increase). Vitamin B9 was the most significantly reduced (p<0.05) from 21.88 to 0.28 mg/100g by 72 h fermentation. Cooking reduced all the minerals except potassium and sodium. Potassium was increased from 690.50 to 930.75, 760.50 and 730.00 mg/100 in 10, 15 and 20 minutes roasted samples respectively. Germination significantly (p<0.05) reduced all the minerals except 24 h germination which increased calcium from 218.17 mg/100g in the raw Mucuna pruriens seed to 234.36 mg/100g. Fermentation generally reduced all the minerals significantly (p<0.05) except calcium and zinc. Germination and fermentation have proved to be suitable methods for the enhancement of vitamin B2, B3, B12 and zinc in Mucuna pruriens seed flour. Combined process treatments reduce most vitamins and minerals in M. pruriens seed flour and are therefore not suitable for their improvement.
