Mejía-Terán A, Blanco-Lizarazo CM, Leiva Mateus JE, Sotelo-Díaz I, Mejía Terán D, Geffroy E. Pretreatments and Particle Size on the Glycemic Index and Rheological and Functional Food Properties of Bean Flours. INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF FOOD SCIENCE 2024; 2024:6336837. [PMID: 38803398 PMCID: PMC11129911 DOI: 10.1155/2024/6336837] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/26/2023] [Revised: 04/09/2024] [Accepted: 05/02/2024] [Indexed: 05/29/2024]
Abstract
The beans' protein and slow-digesting carbohydrate content make it an appealing choice for healthy food development. However, its properties are influenced by the flour extraction processes. This study is aimed at evaluating the effect of particle size and three pretreatments-drying (D), soaking + cooking + dehydrating 3 h (SCD3), and soaking + cooking + dehydrating 24 h (SCD24)-on the estimated glycemic index (eGI) compared with raw bean flour (R). The methodology covered water absorption (WAI), water solubility (WSI), amylose content, starch digestibility, eGI, phenolic quantification, and rheology. The results showed that WAI correlated negatively with WSI and amylose, varying among pretreatments and sizes. WAI increased as D < SCD24 < SCD3 < R. Glucose release (HI) differed between fine (125 μm) and coarse fractions (242 μm), with SCD24 and R showing the lowest eGI (22.8-24.2). SCD3 had the highest flavonoid concentration, while R and D had more quercetin-3-glucoside. SCD24 displayed higher elastic/viscous moduli than R. Bean flours from all treatments had low GI and contained bioactive polyphenols (catechin, epicatechin, ferulic acid, quercetin). The optimal treatment was SCD24, particularly in the coarse fraction, showing potential for functional food development and novel applications such as precision nutrition.

Abstract
Maintaining food safety and quality is critical for public health and food security. Conventional food preservation methods, such as pasteurization and dehydration, often change the overall organoleptic quality of the food products. Herein, we demonstrate a method that affects only a thin surface layer of the food, using beef as a model. In this method, Joule heating is generated by applying high electric power to a carbon substrate in <1 s, which causes a transient increase of the substrate temperature to > ~2000 K. The beef surface in direct contact with the heating substrate is subjected to ultra-high temperature flash heating, leading to the formation of a microbe-inactivated, dehydrated layer of ~100 µm in thickness. Aerobic mesophilic bacteria, Enterobacteriaceae, yeast and mold on the treated samples are inactivated to a level below the detection limit and remained low during room temperature storage of 5 days. Meanwhile, the product quality, including visual appearance, texture, and nutrient level of the beef, remains mostly unchanged. In contrast, microorganisms grow rapidly on the untreated control samples, along with a rapid deterioration of the meat quality. This method might serve as a promising preservation technology for securing food safety and quality.

Rheological properties of dry-fractionated mung bean protein and structural, textural, and rheological evaluation of meat analogues produced by high-moisture extrusion cooking. Curr Res Food Sci 2023; 7:100552. [PMID: 37575131 PMCID: PMC10412858 DOI: 10.1016/j.crfs.2023.100552] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/04/2023] [Revised: 07/13/2023] [Accepted: 07/18/2023] [Indexed: 08/15/2023] Open
Abstract
A closed cavity rheometer was used to study the rheology of dry-fractionated mung bean protein -DFMB- (55% protein d.m.). Then, the high-moisture extrusion cooking at 40% and 50% moisture contents and different temperatures (115, 125, 135 and 145 °C) was performed, investigating the impact on structural, textural, and rheological properties of extrudates. When subjected to a temperature ramp (40-170 °C), DFMB showed an increase of G* from 70 °C, as a consequence of starch gelatinization and protein gelation. The peak, indicating the end of aggregation reactions, was at 105 °C and 110 °C for DFMB at 50% and 40% moisture content, respectively. The time sweep analysis described the protein behavior in no-shear/shear conditions, highlighting a more pronounced effect of the temperatures compared to moisture content. During the extrusion cooking, the temperature increase led to a decrease of pressure, indicating a reduction of the melt viscosity. The microstructure of the extrudates showed a more pronounced anisotropic profile when higher temperatures were applied. Hardness, chewiness, and cohesion were directly correlated with the temperature, which also affected the rheological properties of extrudates. A combination of textural and rheological analyses can offer a clear overview of the structural characteristics of meat analogues.

Abstract
Denaturation of protein solutions can be induced by higher temperatures and the presence of non-polar organic solutions. The denatured proteins form aggregates and gels through protein interactions occurring between their amino acid side chains. Depending on the involved side chains, the denaturation conditions lead to different gel properties. As model systems, a variety of food proteins were gelled through different mechanisms to cover a whole range of protein-protein interactions. Especially the temperature dependence of the viscoelastic properties in a simple rheometer method was found to be very different. These differences could be explained by the different thermodynamic properties of the involved protein-protein interactions. Electrostatic interactions were shown to weaken the resulting gel upon temperature increase whereas entropically driven interactions such as hydrophobic or covalent links were strengthened with increased temperatures. A proposed model explaining these results can be used to assess protein interactions in hydrogels in a non-invasive way and could also have applications to describe the temperature behavior of other hydrogels.

Abstract
Dietary habits have a substantial influence on both planet and individual health. High intake of animal products has significant negative effects on the environment and on human health; hence, a reduction in meat consumption is necessary. The transition towards plant-based meat (PBM) is one of the potential solutions for environmental and health issues. To achieve this goal, it is important to understand the dietary habits and demands of consumers. This review was designed with a focus on PBM alternatives, dietary shifts during the COVID-19 pandemic, the drivers of consumers' perceptions in various countries, and the measures that can promote the shift towards PBM. The PBM market is predicted to grow with rising awareness, familiarity, and knowledge in the coming years. Companies must focus on the categories of anticipated benefits to aid consumers in making the switch to a diet higher in PBM alternatives if they want to win over the target market.

Abstract
Fish and fishery products are among the most important sources of nutritional components for human health, including high-quality proteins, essential vitamins, minerals, and healthy polyunsaturated fatty acids. Fish farming and processing technologies are continuously evolving to improve and enhance the appearance, yield, and quality of fish and fish products from farm to fork throughout the fish supply chain, including growth, postharvest, treatment, storage, transportation, and distribution. Processing of fish involves a period of food withdrawal, collection and transportation, the process of stunning, bleeding, chilling, cutting, packaging, and byproduct recycling. Cutting is a set of crucial operations in fish processing to divide the whole fish into smaller pieces for producing fish products (e.g., fish fillets, steaks, etc.). Various techniques and machinery have been introduced in the field to advance and automate cutting operations. This review aims to provide a comprehensive review of fish cutting techniques, machine vision and artificial intelligence applications, and future directions in fish industries. This paper is expected to stimulate research on enhancing fish cutting yield, product diversity, safety and quality, as well as providing advanced solutions for engineering problems encountered in the fish industry.

Abstract
Many delicious foods are soft matter systems with health ingredients and unique internal structures that provide rich nutrition, unique textures, and popular flavors. Obtaining these special properties in food products usually requires specialized processes. Microfluidic technologies have been developed to physically manipulate liquids to produce a broad range of microunits, providing a suitable approach for precise fabrication of functional biomaterials with desirable interior structures in a bottom-up fashion. In this review, we present how microfluidics has been applied to produce gel-based structures and highlight their use in fabricating novel foods, focusing on, among others, cultured meat as a rapidly growing field in food industry. We first discuss the behaviors of food liquids in microchannels for fluidic structure design. Then, different types of microsized building blocks with specific geometries fabricated through microfluidics are introduced, including particles (point), fibers (line), and sheets (plane). These well-defined units can encapsulate or interact with cells, forming microtissues to construct meat products with desirable architectures. After that, we review approaches to scale up microfluidic devices for mass production of the hydrogel building blocks and highlight the challenges associated with bottom-up food production.
