Formulation Optimization of Gluten-Free Functional Spaghetti Based on Maize Flour and Oat Bran Enriched in b-Glucans

Formulation Optimization of Gluten-Free Functional Spaghetti Based on Maize Flour and Oat Bran Enriched in β-Glucans

The aim of this work concerns the manufacturing process of gluten-free functional spaghetti based on maize flour and oat bran, enriched with b-glucans (22%). More specifically, the goal of the study was to obtain oat bran-loaded maize spaghetti with sensory properties close to unloaded pasta. To this aim, the study has been organized in two subsequent trials. In the first one, the oat bran amou...

Nutritive value of oat flour and oat bran.

Oat flour, the by-product resulting from commercial production of oat bran, was analyzed to contain 7.7% moisture, 11% CP, 6% crude fat, 8.8% NDF, 1.56% ash (.10% Ca, .23% P), 4,265 kcal/kg GE, .41% lysine, .36% threonine, .17% tryptophan, .21% methionine and .34% cystine. Chick bioassays revealed that lysine and threonine were the first- and second-limiting amino acids in oat flour. Slope-rati...

Mechanical Characteristics of Spaghetti Enriched with Whole Soy Flour

The influence of full-fat soy flour (FFSF) and extrusion conditions on the mechanical characteristics of dry spaghetti were evaluated. Process was performed with screw speed of 10-40rpm and water circulating temperature of 35-70°C. Data analysis using mixture design showed that this enrichment resulted in significant differences in mechanical strength. Keywords—Pasta, Mixture design, Enrichment...

Sorghum Flour Characterization and Evaluation in Gluten-free Flour Tortilla

Four sorghum hybrids (Fontanelle-625 [F-625]), Fontanelle-1000 [F-1,000], ATx631xRTx2907 [NE#20] and 5,040C) were characterized and evaluated for kernel characteristics, proximate analysis, flour characterization (particle size distributions, starch damage, amylose content and starch pasting properties) and end product in gluten-free tortilla. A commercial sorghum flour (TVM) was used as a cont...
