Her diet on these three days had been ordinary " khichri " on the first day, and bhat prepared from roasted wheat on the next two days. The first day she passed a semi-solid motion, the nextday another motion of similar consistence, and with this was exp...

The aim of this study was to determine the feasibility of producing Nigella sativa powder under a foam mat drying technique. A central, composite design of experiments was used to optimize the drying condition and compare the solubility, the antioxidant and mineral content of roasted Nigella sativa, and the foam mat dried Nigella sativa powder. Foams were prepared from Nigella sativa solution b...

In Japan, maximum residue limits for pesticides (MRL) in coffee are set on green coffee beans, but not roasted coffee beans, although roasted beans are actually used to prepare coffee for drinking. Little is known about the behavior of pesticides during the roasting process. In the present study, we examined the changes in the concentration of pesticide (organochlorine: γ-BHC, chlordane and hep...

The influences of brine composition, internal temperature, heating rate, and storage periods up to 28 d on flavor, texture, and color of sous vide processed chicken breast were evaluated. Pectoralis major muscles containing water and sodium chloride, with or without sodium lactate, were browned and vacuum packaged. Sous vide processing was by fast or slow heating to an internal temperature of 7...

Chinese-style pork jerky is a typical intermediate moisture meat product obtained by curing, drying and roasting pork samples. The chemical, physical and microbiological characteristics of pork jerky were evaluated throughout processing. The moisture content varied from 72.5% to 23.4 or 19.6% and aw varied form 0.97 to 0.74 or 0.72 in accordance with processing steps. The pork jerky roasted at ...

Breadfruit ( Artocarpus altilis (Parkinson) Fosberg, Moraceae) is a staple crop in Oceania, where it was originally domesticated. It is a versatile tree crop with many uses including construction, medicine, animal feed, and insect repellent. However, it is principally grown as a source of carbohydrates and is an important component of agroforestry systems. Unlike many herbaceous starch crops ha...

The effects of soaking and roasting on the physicochemical and pasting properties of soybean flour were evaluated. Soybean seeds were soaked overnight in tap water for 0-72 h, hand dehulled, dried, and part of the sample was roasted. Roasted and unroasted soy beans were milled into flour and analyzed. The results showed that the total carbohydrates (22.8-27.9 g/100 g), the ash content (3.5-3.6 ...

BACKGROUND Almond processing has been shown to differentially impact metabolizable energy; however, the effect of food form on the gastrointestinal microbiota is under-investigated. OBJECTIVE We aimed to assess the interrelationship of almond consumption and processing on the gastrointestinal microbiota. DESIGN A controlled-feeding, randomized, five-period, crossover study with washouts bet...

BACKGROUND Because of the widespread use of peanut products, peanut allergenicity is a major health concern in the United States. The effect or effects of thermal processing (roasting) on the allergenic properties of peanut proteins have rarely been addressed. OBJECTIVE We sought to assess the biochemical effects of roasting on the allergenic properties of peanut proteins. METHODS Competiti...
