    White Bean and Hazelnuts Flours: Application in Gluten-Free Bread
    (Academic Press, 2023) Tuna, Ayça; Cappa, Carola; Tokatlı, Figen; Alamprese, Cristina
    This study investigated the effects of white bean and hazelnut flour addition (15–30% alone or in combination) to a rice flour-corn starch mixture in gluten-free (GF) breads formulated according to a mixture design. The chemical composition of flours and pasting properties of their mixtures were investigated, as well as the spectroscopic characteristics and leavening performance of doughs. Physical properties of fresh and stored (up to 48 h) bread samples were analyzed. Bean and hazelnut flours had higher protein and fiber contents, and lower carbohydrates content than rice flour and corn starch. Although the reference bread made of rice flour-corn starch mixture (STD) resulted in the highest specific volume (7.0 mL/g) and the lowest hardness (0.43 N), the sample enriched with 15% hazelnut flour (H15) approached these characteristics the most (3.8 mL/g and 1.59 N, respectively). After 48 h of storage, H15 also showed lower hardness than STD. This study paves the way for new applications of white bean and hazelnut flours and showed as a simple reformulation can help to develop healthier bread: the European legal constraint for “fiber source” claim was achieved for breads with 15 or 30% hazelnut flour, and 30% bean-hazelnut mixture, with a fiber content of 3.34, 4.48, and 3.27 g/100g, respectively. © 2023 The Authors

    Ir Spectroscopy and Chemometrics for Physical Property Prediction of Structured Lipids Produced by Interesterification of Beef Tallow
    (Academic Press, 2019) Aktaş, Ayşe Burcu; Alamprese, Cristina; Fessas, Dimitrios; Özen, Banu
    The aim of this study was the application of infrared spectroscopy and chemometrics to predict slip melting point (SMP), melting points at different melted fat percentages (MP85, MP90, MP95), and consistency of structured lipids to provide fast and reliable methods for their characterization. Tallow was chemically or enzymatically interesterified with corn, canola, or safflower oils, at different ratios. Fourier-transform mid-infrared (FT-IR) and near-infrared (FT-NIR) spectra of melted and solid samples were collected. Partial-least-square regression models constructed after different spectra pre-treatments and variable selection were satisfactory. The best models were obtained with solid sample FT-NIR spectra: in cross-validation, determination coefficients and root mean square errors were, respectively, 0.85 and 1.7 degrees C for SMP, 0.85 and 2.8 degrees C for MP90, and 0.91 and 14 MPa for consistency. Infrared spectroscopy can be considered a promising tool to determine physical properties of interesterified fats.

    Development of Gel-Based Pads Loaded With Lysozyme and Green Tea Extract: Characterization of Pads and Test of Their Antilisterial Potential on Cold-Smoked Salmon
    (Academic Press, 2020) Boyacı, Derya; Yemenicioğlu, Ahmet
    The objective of this work is to develop antilisterial gel-based pads (g-pad) for active packaging of cold-smoked salmon. Lysozyme (LYS) and/or green tea extract (GTE) (1% w/w) were incorporated into g-pads of gelatin (GEL), and its mechanically improved composite g-pads obtained by mixing GEL with rice starch (GEL/RS) or candelilla wax (GEL/CW). GEL g-pad with LYS and GEL/RS g-pad with LYS or LYS + GTE, and GEL/CW g-pad with LYS + GTE caused >= similar to 1.8 and similar to 1.7 log reduction in broth media against Listeria innocua within 11 and 15 days, respectively. All g-pads with LYS or LYS + GTE inhibited L. innocua growth, and gave cold-smoked salmon with 1.5-1.9 log lower Listeria load than controls after 15 days at +4 degrees C. GEL g-pad with LYS was the most potent on salmon surface since it achieved faster LYS release (1.3-1.8-fold) than other g-pads. Sustained release of GEL/RS g-pads for LYS, and GEL/CW g-pads for GTE was promising for extended storage. Composite g-pads were more compatible with GTE than GEL g-pads since they prevented discoloration of polyphenols. Water absorption capacities showed that GEL/RS g-pads (75%) could prevent drip-loss better than GEL (59%) and GEL/CW (57%) g-pads. Active g-pads provide alternative to active edible films to reduce listeriosis from processed high-risk food.
