In this study, the application of a response surface methodology (RSM) to optimize the microencapsulation of vanillin as a nutraceutical was studied. Soy protein isolate and maltodextrin were used as a wall material. Microencapsulate of vanillin using spray drying with maltodextrin solutions at different concentration (5–15% wt), vanillin concentrations (0.1–0.4 %wt) and inlet temperature (180–...

BACKGROUND As most sport drinks contain some form of non-nutritive sweetener (e.g. aspartame), and with the variation in blood glucose regulation and insulin secretion reportedly associated with aspartame, a further understanding of the effects on insulin and blood glucose regulation during exercise is warranted. Therefore, the aim of this preliminary study was to profile the insulin and blood ...

The aim of this work was to study the effect of spray drying conditions on quality of coconut sugar powder and their characteristics. Effects of inlet air temperature (120°C, 150°C and 180°C) and maltodextrin concentrations (DE 9-12) at 10%, 20% and 30% (w/v) on physical properties of spray dried coconut sugar powder were investigated. Buchi mini spray dryer, model B-290, was used in this work....

European eel proteins hydrolysates (EPHs) were produced from A. anguilla muscle protein and isolate using Purafect®, goby crude proteases B. invictae proteases. EPHs had high contents displayed diverse molecular mass distributions. Muscle (MPHs) (PIHs) obtained both by Purafect® the highest antibacterial activity. PIHs emulsifying stability. MPHs higher chelating effects. ability to prevent ble...

In this study, the optimal conditions for spray drying of extract made from flesh and peel red pitaya were tested using central composite design (CCD). The response surface methodology was used to evaluate effect inlet air temperature (145 – 155°C) concentration maltodextrin (13-17% w/w) on physicochemical properties powder. regression models accurately predicted retention betacyanin (R2=0.94) ...

BACKGROUND Evidence exists that beverages do not trigger appropriate anticipatory physiologic responses, such as cephalic phase insulin release. Therefore, it is of interest to elucidate the food properties necessary for triggering adaptive responses. Previously, we found a prolonged dose-dependent decrease in the hypothalamic functional magnetic resonance imaging signal after ingestion of a gl...

PURPOSE To examine the effect of beta-alanine only and beta-alanine with sodium bicarbonate supplementation on 2,000-m rowing performance. METHODS Twenty well-trained rowers (age 23 ± 4 y; height 1.85 ± 0.08 m; body mass 82.5 ± 8.9 kg) were assigned to either a placebo or beta-alanine (6.4 g · d(-1) for 4 weeks) group. A 2,000-m rowing time trial (TT) was performed before supplementation (Bas...

The well-established ergogenic benefit of ingesting carbohydrates during single-discipline endurance sports has only been tested once within an Olympic-distance (OD) triathlon. The aim of the present study was to compare the effect of ingesting a 2:1 maltodextrin/fructose solution with a placebo on simulated OD triathlon performance. Six male and 4 female amateur triathletes (age, 25 ± 7 years;...
