Fermented probiotic maize porridge
Maize is the principal source of food for millions of people, particularly in Latin America and Africa. It is nonallergenic and mild in taste, and is therefore suitable for use as a basis for weaning food. Probiotics are live microbial feed or food supplements, which beneficially affect the host by improving its intestinal microbial balance. The first recorded probiotics were fermented milks pr...
متن کاملPreparation and In vitro Digestibility of Corn Starch Phosphodiester
Purpose: To optimize the process conditions and analyze in vitro digestibility of corn starch phosphodiester prepared by sodium trimetaphosphate (STMP). Methods: By using response surface method, the effects of STMP concentration, pH, esterification temperature, and urea addition on digestion resistance of corn starch phosphodiester were investigated and optimal conditions were determined. Corn...
متن کاملKernel composition, starch structure, and enzyme digestibility of opaque-2 maize and quality protein maize.
Objectives of this study were to understand how opaque-2 (o2) mutation and quality protein maize (QPM) affect maize kernel composition and starch structure, property, and enzyme digestibility. Kernels of o2 maize contained less protein (9.6-12.5%) than those of the wild-type (WT) counterparts (12.7-13.3%). Kernels of a severe o2 mutant B46o2 also contained less starch (66.9%) than those of B46w...
متن کاملA study of starch gelatinisation behaviour in hydrothermally-processed plant food tissues and implications for in vitro digestibility.
The aim of this study was to investigate the role of the plant food matrix in influencing the extent of starch gelatinisation during hydrothermal processing, and its implications for starch digestibility. Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) was used to provide a detailed examination of the gelatinisation behaviour of five distinct size fractions (diameters <0.21 to 2.58 mm) of milled chickp...
متن کاملIn vitro Starch Digestibility and Nutritionally Important Starch Fractions in Cereals and Their Mixtures
The variable glycemic response to starchy foods has been the subject of much interest particularly in the dietary management of diabetes [1, 2]. It is now well known that rate and extent of starch digestion is influenced by a variety of intrinsic and extrinsic factors [3-5]. The glycemic index (GI) is an in vivo measurement based on glycemic response to carbohydrate-containing foods, and allows...
