Abstract
To ensure the best quality bread, it is important to consider the speed of digestion of starch and proteins, as well as how time fermentation and storage time influence the rate of starch digestion and the texture of the bread. This study compared the effect of fermentation time and days of storage on the texture, physicochemical, protein and starch digestibility of sourdough bread. Texture profile analysis showed that the fermentation time in recently baked sourdough bread affects hardness, chewiness, and springiness. The electrophoretic profile showed a decrease in band thickness with increase in fermentation time, consistent with a higher percentage of protein digestion. While fermentation time did not significantly affect rapidly digestible starch (RDS) and slowly digestible starch (SDS), storage time resulted in a decrease in RDS and an increase in SDS. Sourdough breads had higher levels of resistant starch (RS). The digestibility characteristics of protein and starch, as well as texture properties, are significantly influenced by fermentation and storage time. The evidence suggests that sourdough bread has the potential to improve the digestion of protein and to effectively regulate the glycemic response, which is due to its higher levels of SDS and RS.

Abstract
This study aimed to investigate the incorporation of micronized salt (MS) to reduce sodium content in fresh sausages while preserving technological, chemical, textural, and sensory characteristics. Four treatments were prepared: control (C) with 2.0% regular salt; M2.0% with 2.0% micronized salt; M1.5% with 1.5% micronized salt; and M1.0% with 1.0% micronized salt, containing 1004, 1133, 860, and 525 mg of sodium/100 g of product, respectively. To characterize the samples, analyses of sodium content, cooking loss, relative myoglobin content, and instrumental color were carried out. The sensory analysis was performed using the Temporal-Check-All-That-Apply (TCATA) method. Half of the micronized salt treatment was mixed with the fat during the processing of the fresh sausages. It was possible to achieve a 50% reduction in sodium (M1.0%) in the fresh sausages without negative effects on most technological, chemical, and textural parameters, which did not differ from the control treatment (C). Conversely, "chewiness" decreased in M2.0% compared to the control (C) due to mixing micronized salt with the fat. The sodium reduction did not impact the temporal sensory profile and overall liking. Therefore, using micronized salt in fresh sausages reduces sodium content without affecting sensory traits and product stability.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The purpose of this study was to evaluate the potential of incorporating wine lees (WL), an inexpensive and widely available high-value winery waste product, into gelatin-based jellies to improve their technological and functional properties. We also aimed to evaluate the suitability of WL as a jelly colorant by comparing it with a commercial colorant. RESULTS Wine lees were characterized for their anthocyanin, phenolic, antioxidant, and mineral content. Subsequently, physicochemical, functional, textural, rheological, and thermal analyses were conducted on soft candies containing 21, 14, and 7 g kg-1 WL (labeled as WL30, WL20, and WL10, respectively). The total phenolic, anthocyanin, antioxidant, and cupric-reducing antioxidant capacity (CUPRAC) values of WL30 were determined as 57.80 ± 6.12 mg gallic acid equivalent per kilogram (GAE kg-1 ), 17.58 ± 0.36 mg malvidin-3-glucoside equivalent kg-1 , 0.04 ± 0.01 μg mL-1 , and 45.55 ± 1.00 mmol L-1 Trolox equivalent (TE), respectively. The control sample had the best rheological characteristics, including K', G', and n*, as well as the greatest hardness value, followed by WL30. However, during the storage period, WL30 exhibited superior color stability and retained higher levels of phenolic and anthocyanin components in comparison with the control sample. CONCLUSION Wine lees have the potential to be utilized as a natural colorant and alternative flavoring agent in jelly production. © 2023 The Authors.

Abstract
The epimysium, also known as silver skin, is a fascia of connective tissue that surrounds each muscle. During fabrication, epimysium is removed from intact cuts, and it can be used as a source of collagen in processed meats to reduce production costs. However, little is known about the emulsifying properties of this collagen source. Thus, this study aimed to evaluate the effect of three levels of beef epimysium (silver skin, 0, 5, and 10%) on meat emulsion stability and on its cooked characteristics. Beef silver skin partially replaced ground beef, pork, and fat trimming, while all the other ingredients remained constant across formulations. The inclusion of silver skin did not affect (p > 0.05) chemical composition, total cooking loss, water loss, and raw emulsion color. Cooking fat loss linearly increased (p = 0.02) while cooked emulsion L* linearly decreased (p = 0.04) as silver skin level increased. Hardness, gumminess, and chewiness decreased linearly as silver skin levels increased (p < 0.01). Overall, incorporating silver skin into meat emulsions reduced stability, increased fat loss, and led to a weaker cooked emulsion matrix.

Abstract
The effects of using different breadcrumbs (3 wheat, 2 gluten-free: pea and rice) to improve yield and modify the texture of a lean poultry product were evaluated. All breadcrumbs significantly reduced cooking loss (P < 0.05), with one of the wheat crumbs showing the best results (35% reduction). Light microscopy revealed that breadcrumbs were well connected to the cooked meat matrix, and fully hydrated, that is, forming well-structured composite gels. The presence of breadcrumbs resulted in lower hardness, chewiness, and gumminess values of 3 of the treatments (compared to the control with no breadcrumbs), while the other 2 did not affect those parameters. Overall, selected breadcrumbs that are commonly used in ground beef products can be employed to improve yield/modify texture in poultry products but have to be selected to address certain needs.

Abstract
This study investigated the feasibility of replacing pork meat with pea protein isolate in canned pâtés at proportions ranging from 12.5% to 50%. The results indicated that protein reformulation did not significantly impact the protein content and lipid oxidation of the pâtés. Reformulated products exhibited a decrease in a∗ values and an increase in b∗ values. These color changes were also sensorially identified in the Check-All-That-Apply (CATA) test, where the reformulated pâtés were associated with attributes such as 'yellow color' and 'unpleasant color', which were inversely related to product acceptance. The protein reformulation reduced the hardness, gumminess, and chewiness parameters of the pâtés. These textural changes were positively reflected in the CATA test, where the reformulated products were characterized by attributes like 'soft texture', 'pleasant texture', and 'good spreadability', which strongly correlated with higher consumer acceptance. Notably, pâtés with 37.5% and 50% substitutions of pork meat with pea protein showed acceptability levels comparable to the control, and those with up to a 25% substitution exhibited superior sensory acceptability. However, the color alteration suggests the need for future optimization, such as using natural colorants. In summary, the results of this study not only validate the feasibility of replacing pork meat with pea protein in pâtés but also offer valuable insights for future investigations to develop more innovative and sustainable meat products.

Abstract
The evaluation of the vehicle formulation is important during the development of sunscreens, as it influences their efficacy. In this context, the aim of the present study was to develop photoprotective formulations and evaluate the influence of the formulation components in the sun protection factor (SPF) and physical-mechanical and sensory properties of the formulations. We evaluated four sunscreens through a 22 full factorial design in terms of concentration and emulsifier type. The design of experiments (DOE) parameters were SPF, thixotropy, and work of shear. After the screening of the formulations by DOE, the SPF values, mechanical and sensory properties, and stability were evaluated. All study formulations showed non-Newtonian pseudoplastic behavior, compatible with sunscreens, and presented SPF values above 30. The factors evaluated in DOE had significant interactions for all the analyzed parameters. The concentration of the phosphate-based emulsifier influenced the SPF parameter. The work of shear was influenced by the concentration of polyglyceryl-based emulsifier. The concentration and the type of emulsifier influenced the thixotropy. Finally, effective sunscreens were developed, and the type and concentration of emulsifiers had an influence on the SPF of the formulations. In addition, the formulations chosen by DOE were stable and showed good sensory properties.

Abstract
Extending the shelf life of gluten-free bread (GFB) is a challenge. Mainly due to the ingredients used and their characteristics, GFB has numerous drawbacks such as unsatisfactory texture and rapid staling beyond a low nutritional value. In the present study, flaxseed oil cake extract (FOCE) was used to replace water (25-100%) in GFB formulations in order to test FOCE's potential to reduce GFB staling and extend microbial stability. Texture (TPA test), water activity (LF NMR), acidity (pH measurements) and microbiological quality of GFBs were tested. Moreover, the content of a lignan with broad health-promoting potential, secoisolariciresinol diglucoside (SDG), in GFB with FOCE was analyzed. The results showed that the use of FOCE enriched experimental GFB in valuable SDG (217-525 µg/100 g DM) while not causing adverse microbiological changes. A moderate level (25-50%) of FOCE did not change the main texture parameters of GFB stored for 72 h, the quality of which was comparable to control bread without FOCE. Meanwhile, higher proportions of FOCE (75-100% of water replacement) shortened GFB shelf life as determined by water activity and texture profile, suggesting that GFB with FOCE should be consumed fresh. To summarize, FOCE at moderate levels can add value to GFBs without causing a drop in quality, while still fitting in with the idea of zero waste and the circular economy.

Abstract
Approximately 500 thousand tons of cocoa bean shells (CSs) are generated annually and treated as waste. However, their composition is of great nutritional, technological, and economic interest due to their dietary fiber (46.4 to 60.6%), protein (11.6 to 18.1%), and lipid contents (2 to 18.5%), as well as the presence of flavonoids and alkaloids. Thus, this study aimed to obtain CS flour by milling the CSs, characterizing the flour according to its chemical composition and functionalities, and then applying it in the production of cookies, substituting a wheat flour portion (10, 20, 30, and 40%) with CS flour. Cookies were characterized in terms of water, lipids, proteins, phenolic (PC), and total flavanol (FLA) contents, and specific volume (SV), hardness (H), and L*, a*, and b color scale parameters. Increasing the amount of CS showed positive results, as the cookies were enriched with PC (0.68 to 2.37 mg gallic acid equivalents/g of sample) and FLA (0.10 to 0.19 mg epicatechin equivalents/g of sample) but increased hardness (353 to 472 N). By associating the responses, it was concluded that the wheat flour replacement with 30% CS presented values of PC and FLA 3 and 1.6 times higher than the control and could be a formulation of interest to consumers.

Abstract
Traditional ritual slaughter is an underlying practice in religious Jewish communities and it translates into eating in accordance with core beliefs. This paper aims to comprehensively analyze factors determining the kosher status of beef (sex, slaughter method, and muscle type) and assess their impact on selected quality properties, such as color or texture profile. Sensory evaluation was also performed. The muscles were obtained from 80 carcasses (50% of heifers and 50% of young bulls). The experimental results indicate that each studied kosherness determinant influenced beef quality properties. The process of koshering caused the darkening of beef and lowered the share of color parameters red (a*) and yellow (b*). The influence of the type of slaughter on the values of adhesiveness, gumminess, and chewiness of beef was confirmed; higher values were mostly obtained in the muscles of cattle from kosher slaughter. As to sensory evaluation, the study showed that in the case of muscle type, the sex and slaughter method positively influenced only some of the properties.

Abstract
The study aimed to determine the technological and sensory properties of the breast and thigh muscles of geese from the Polish native varieties: Kartuska (Ka) and Suwalska (Su) (from northern Poland) as well as Lubelska (Lu) and Kielecka (Ki) (from southern Poland). The color parameters: L*, a*, b*, ΔE, C, h°, total heme pigments (THPs), and share of myoglobin (Mb), metmyoglobin (MMb), and oxymyoglobin (MbO2) in muscles were determined. In terms of technological properties, the following were determined: pH24, water-binding capacity (WBC), water-holding capacity (WHC), cooking (CL), and roasting losses (RL). In addition, a sensory evaluation of the raw meat color was performed. In roasted meat, a sensory evaluation and texture profile analysis (TPA) were carried out, as well as the shear force (SF) and chemical composition were determined. Roasted muscles of varieties native to northern Poland (Ka and Su) were higher in lipids (P≤0.05) than the muscles of southern varieties (Lu and Ki). Ka meat had the highest protein content, and Lu meat had the lowest (P≤0.05). The raw muscle color sensory evaluation results, the THP, and the L* and ΔE values indicated that the darkest color among the studied genotypes were the Ka muscles, and the lightest was Ki meat (P≤0.05). Lu's muscles are distinguished by better usability for processing and culinary purposes than the muscles of the other genotypes due to high pH24, WBC, WHC, and low RL and CL of thigh muscles, as well as high WHC and low RLs of the breast muscles (P≤0.05). Due to the tenderness, juiciness, and high general evaluation (P≤0.05), the best sensory features among the studied genotypes were found in the Ka breast and thigh muscles. The low SF value proved the higher tenderness of Ka geese muscles.

Abstract
It is of great significance for the aquaculture industry to determine how rearing salinity impacts fish flesh quality. In the present study, largemouth bass was cultured in different salinities (0%, 0.3%, 0.9%) for 10 weeks, and the effect on flesh texture, flavor compounds, taste, and fatty acid composition was evaluated. We show that rearing salinity not only increased flesh water-holding capacity, but also enhanced muscle hardness, chewiness, gumminess, and adhesiveness, which was consistent with the finding in the shear value test. Morphology analysis further revealed that the effect of salinity on flesh texture was probably related to changes in myofibril diameter and density. As for the taste of the flesh, water salinity improved the contents of both sweet and umami amino acids, and reduced the contents of bitter amino acid. Meanwhile, the content of IMP, the dominant flavor nucleotide in largemouth bass muscle, was significantly higher in the 0.9% group. Interestingly, electronic-tongue analysis demonstrated that the positive effect of salinity on flavor compounds enhanced the umami taste and taste richness of flesh. Moreover, rearing salinity improved the contents of C20: 5n-3 (EPA) and C22: 6n-3 (DHA) in back muscle. Therefore, rearing largemouth bass in adequate salinity may be a practical approach to improving flesh quality.

Abstract
Hemp seed flour (HSF) is a by-product of the hemp oil production process and is a valuable source of protein, dietary fiber, minerals, and vitamins. In line with sustainable food production and a circular economy, this research aimed to utilize HSF as fortifying ingredient in the production of gnocchi, a typical Italian potato-based fresh pasta, and to investigate the effects of the addition on the quality and consumers’ acceptability of the enriched products. Three formulations have been developed using 5–20% HSF in substitution of soft wheat flour. Nutritional value, cooking quality, color, texture and sensory profile, and the consumers’ acceptability of gnocchi samples were evaluated, as well as the functional properties of pure and composite flours and the HSF aroma compounds. HSF addition allowed to enhance the nutritional value of gnocchi, gaining the nutritional claim of “source of fiber” in case of formulations with ≥10% of HSF. Moreover, the fortified gnocchi had a high technological quality in terms of cooking loss, cooking resistance and textural properties, and average sensory quality; however, the vegetable and hemp odor and the bitter taste make them not well appreciated by consumers highlighting the need for improving the HSF sensory quality for consumers’ satisfaction.

Abstract
This study aimed to apply H2 O2 at different concentrations in combination with mince:water (M:W) ratios and different washing cycles (WC) in order to produce surimi gel from silver carp without compromising its quality characteristics. Color, texture, microstructure and rheological properties of surimi gels were investigated. Water holding capacity, texture profile and gel strength, showed a greater dependency on number of washing cycles than the M:W ratios and percentage of H2 O2 (p<0.05), i.e., higher washing cycles, firmer surimi gel. Accordingly, T2 (one WC, 2% H2 O2 , 1:3), T10 (two WC, 1% H2 O2 , 1:2) and T16 (three WC, 1% H2 O2 , 1:2) treatments resulted the most cohesive and resilient surimi compared to the rest (p<0.05), confirmed by SEM images. However, all treated fish mince samples with H2 O2 , resulted in a surimi gel with lower texture quality compared to the control surimi prepared by conventional washing process without H2 O2 (p<0.05). A temperature sweep test was conducted based on the LVR stress and frequency values and the aforementioned surimi gels exhibited an obvious valley shape pattern at temperature range of 48-62°C. In the creep-recovery test, the Burgers model satisfactorily described the internal structure of the surimi gel samples as the lowest deformation belonged to the control samples followed by T2. However, after 300s strain, neither of surimi gels were fully recovered their original shape. Altogether, further studies are needed to clarify the effects of H2 O2 in reduction of washing cycles, without significantly affecting the textural and rheological properties of resultant surimi gel.

Abstract
In this study, the encapsulation of saffron extract (SE) was examined at four various concentrations of soy lecithin (0.5%–4% w/v) and constant concentration of SE (0.25% w/v). Particle size and zeta potential of liposomes were in the range of 155.9–208.1 nm and −34.6–43.4 mV, respectively. Encapsulation efficiency was in the range of 50.73%–67.02%, with the stability of nanoliposomes in all treatments being >90%. Encapsulated SE (2% lecithin) was added to ricotta cheese at different concentrations (0%, 0.125%, 1%, and 2% w/v), and physicochemical and textural properties of the cheese were examined. Lecithin concentration significantly (p ≤ 0.05) affected the particle size, zeta potential, stability, and encapsulation efficiency of the manufactured liposomes. In terms of chemical composition and color of the functional cheese, the highest difference was observed between the control cheese and the cheese enriched with 2% liposomal encapsulated SE. Hardness and chewiness increased significantly (p ≤ 0.05) in the cheeses containing encapsulated SE compared to the control cheese. However, there was no significant difference in the case of adhesiveness, cohesiveness, and gumminess among different cheeses. Overall, based on the findings of this research, liposomal encapsulation was an efficient method for the delivery of SE in ricotta cheese as a novel functional food.

Abstract
Legumes are not valued by all consumers, mostly due to the prolonged soaking and cooking process they require. This problem could be solved by preparing legume-based ready-to-eat snacks. In this study, the effect of two different dies (circular and star-shaped, with cross-sections of 19.6 and 35.9 mm2, respectively) on the physico-chemical properties, anti-nutritional compounds, and sensory features of extruded breakfast snacks was determined. Extruded products were obtained from 100% legume flours of red lentil, faba bean, brown pea, and common bean. The extrusion-cooking conditions were 2.5 g/s feed rate; 160 ± 1 °C die temperature; 16 ± 1 g/100 g feed moisture, and 230 rpm screw speed. Star-shaped extrudates showed a lower expansion ratio, degree of starch gelatinization, and water solubility index, as well as higher bulk density, hardness, crunchiness, and lightness (L*) values. The oligosaccharides showed non univocal variations by changing the die, whereas phytates did not vary at all. The extrudates from lentil flour (richer in fiber) were the least preferred by sensory panelists, due to their hard texture. However, the spherical extrudates were preferred over the star-shaped product. These results emphasize the possibility of improving the physico-chemical and sensory properties of legume extrudates by selecting a proper die.

Abstract
Modifying the consistency of a given edible fluid matrix by incorporating food thickeners is a common nursing remedy for individuals with dysphagia when adequate water consumption is a concern. As apple pectin (AP) offers nutraceutical benefits, properly formulated apple pectin (AP)-based thickeners featuring xanthan gum (XG) can be superior candidates for preparation of dysphagia-friendly matrices (DFMs). Our recruited DFMs exhibit fluid-like behavior (loss modulus > storage modulus, G" > G') at lower AP concentrations (2 and 5%, w/w); they turn into weak/critical gels (G' ≈ G") as the concentration becomes higher (9%). In contrast, XG-DFMs display gel-like attributes with G' > G", even at rather low concentrations (<1%) and become more resistant to sugar, Na+, and Ca2+ modifications. The composite matrix of AP1.8XG0.2 (constraint at 2%) exhibits a confined viscosity of 278 ± 11.7 mPa∙s, which is considered a DFM, in comparison to only AP- or XG-thickened ones. The hardness measurements of XG0.6 and AP1.2XG0.8 are 288.33 ± 7.506 and 302.00 ± 9.849 N/m2, respectively, which potentially represent a promising formulation base for future applications with DFMs; these textural values are not significantly different from a commercially available product (p > 0.05) for dysphagia nursing administrations.

Abstract
Aceclofenac (ACE), a cyclooxygenase-2 inhibitor, is the derivative of the diclofenac group that has been in use for the symptomatic treatment of systemic inflammatory autoimmune disease, rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Partial solubility, high lipophilic nature, and stability challenge its use in developing topical formulations. Hence, we developed and characterized nanostructured lipid carrier (NLC)-based ACE (ACE-NLC) hydrogel for an efficient transdermal delivery. NLC microemulsion was prepared using different lipids by various methods and was characterized with respect to particle size, zeta potential, surface morphology, and drug encapsulation efficiency. The optimized NLC formulation was incorporated into Carbopol® 940 gel, and this arrangement was characterized and compared with the existing marketed gel (Mkt-gel) formulation to assess in vitro drug release, rheology, texture profile, in vivo skin retention and permeation, and stability. Furthermore, prepared and characterized ACE-loaded NLC formulation was evaluated for skin integrity and fitted in a dermatokinetic model. The results of this study confirmed the spherical shape; smooth morphology and nanometric size attested by Zetasizer and scanning and transmission electron microcopy; and stability of the ACE-NLC formulation. The ACE-NLC-gel formulation showed good rheological and texture characteristics, and better skin distribution in the epidermis and dermis. Moreover, ACE-NLC permeated deeper in the skin layers and kept the skin integrity intact. Overall, NLC-based gel formulation of ACE might be a promising nanoscale lipid carrier for topical application when compared with the conventional Mkt-gel formulation.

Abstract
In order to improve the gel performance and edible quality of surimi for sustainable manufacture, the present study explored the feasibility of four kinds of starchs (potato, corn, sweet potato, and wheat) and fresh water fish tilapia as additives for golden pompano based surimi production. Sweet potato starch stood out as the most appropriate additive for golden pompano surimi due to the highest gel strength, lowest expressible moisture content and more compact microstructure. When the tilapia flesh substitution ratio reached 30%, best gel property of tilapia-golden pompano compound surimi with best texture property and whiteness value was achieved. Moreover, addition of 5% sweet potato starch to the golden pompano-tilapia (7:3) compound surimi comparatively obtained the optimal effect. Namely, it was observed that the texture parameters with hardness (3.62 N), gumminess (2.74 N), chewiness (17.35 mJ), cohesiveness (4.918), and springiness (0.872) being biggest values. On the other hand, the gel strength and expressible moisture content were 2,137.31 g. mm and 3.52%, respectively, which were overwhelming than other levels. Simultaneously, the whiteness of 5% addition group was 74.75, which was also a little higher than other groups. In summary, partial substitution of tilapia and proper addition of sweet potato starch effectively improved the gel performance and quality of golden pompano-based surimi products, which has potential applications in the industry of surimi.

Abstract
Due to its structural and organoleptic functions, sucrose is one of the primary ingredients of many baked confectionery products. In turn, the growing awareness of the association between sugar overconsumption and the development of chronic diseases has prompted the urgent need to reduce the amount of refined sugar in foods. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of complete sucrose replacement with inulin-type fructans (ITFs), namely fructooligosaccharide (FOS), inulin (INU) or oligofructose-enriched inulin (SYN), with different degrees of polymerization on the technological parameters and sensory quality of gluten-free sponge cakes (GFSs). The use of ITFs as the sole sweetening ingredient resulted in the similar appearance of the experimental GFSs to that of the control sample. In addition, all GFSs containing ITFs had similar height, while their baking weight loss was significantly (p < 0.05) lower compared to the control products. The total sugar exchange for long-chain INU increased the crumb hardness, while the crumb of the GFS with FOS was as soft as of the control products. The sensory analysis showed that the GFS containing FOS obtained the highest scores for the overall quality assessment, similar to the sugar-containing control sponge cake. The results obtained prove that sucrose is not necessary to produce GFSs with appropriate technological parameters and a high sensory quality. Thus, it can be concluded that sucrose can be successfully replaced with ITF, especially with FOS, in this type of baked confectionery product.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The knowledge about how ingredients in formulation can influence the texture profile is an important factor on the development of a cosmetic product. In this context, the aim of this work was to evaluate the effect of vegetable oils in the texture profile, rheological and sensorial properties of cosmetic formulations based on organogel. METHODS Four organogel-based emulsions were developed and supplemented or not with sunflower, macadamia or olive oils. Analyses of rheological behaviour, texture profile and sensory properties were performed. RESULTS The vegetable oils added to formulation did not alter the pseudoplastic rheological behaviour, but increased the area of hysteresis and reduced the work of shear of the formulations. In addition, the sunflower seed oil increased the consistency index and all texture parameters while the macadamia oil reduced firmness and consistency. The cosmetic formulation based on organogel containing the sunflower seed oil showed the highest score on sensory evaluation. CONCLUSION The vegetable oils affected the rheology behaviour, texture profile and sensory properties of the formulations under study. However, the influence of sunflower oil in organogel-based cosmetic formulation was more pronounced considering texture profile and the response perceived by subjects in the sensorial analysis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE Camel milk has nutritional and therapeutic properties. Quinoa flour has been incorporated into many kinds of food because of its various nutrients and bio-actives. This study aimed to investigate the effect of using quinoa flour on the properties of low-fat camel milk processed cheese spread (LF-CMPCS) made from fermented retentate camel milk as a camel cheese base. MATERIALS AND METHODS Quinoa flour was used to substitute 1, 3 and 5% of the camel cheese base made with Ras cheese. The resultant cheeses were analyzed for several parameters. Such as physiochemical, texture properties, antioxidant activity, fatty acids, microstructure and organoleptic properties as fresh and during storage period at 5±1°C for 3 months. The data were analyzed by ANOVA using the SPSS computer program. RESULTS Total solids, protein, fat/dry matter and soluble nitrogen decreased significantly while the fiber, carbohydrates and pH values increased significantly. Meltability value of LF-CMPCS significantly decreased. The results indicated that the hardness increased significantly with the increase in the addition of quinoa flour. The fatty acid profile indicated a significant increase in oleic acid (18:1), linoleic acid (18:2), linolenic (18:3) and eicosenoic (20:1) with the increase of quinoa flour. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) images showed the presence of quinoa flour in the space within the casein particle network. CONCLUSION It could be concluded that the addition of quinoa flour to camel cheese (up to 3%) can improve the chemical, sensory and microstructure and texture properties of LF CMPCS camel milk cheese without altering the quality of the product.

Abstract
This study investigated the effect of wheat bran (WB) supplementation on the physical and sensory properties of a South African cereal fried dough (magwinya). The physical properties, instrumental texture, and sensory profile were determined for magwinya (100:0, control) and for wheat flour to wheat-bran ratios of 95:5 (MWB5), 90:10 (MWB10), 85:15 (MWB15), and 80:20 (MWB20). An increase in the proportion of WB in the fried dough showed no significant difference on the specific volume (1.47–1.54) of samples. The chroma value (30.19–22.29), lightness (35.92–28.98), and hue angle (55.03–47.77) decreased, while ∆E increased distinctly with the addition of WB. Magwinya supplemented with WB was less cohesive and easy to chew. Significant correlations were found between instrumental hardness and sensory springiness (r = −0.63; p < 0.05), as well as between instrumental cohesiveness and sensory springiness (r = −0.71; p < 0.01). Two principal components were identified, which accounted for 85.1% of the variance in the instrumental data. A substitution level of 5 and 10% WB was similar to the sensory properties of the control in taste, texture, and overall acceptability and can replace part of the wheat flour in the cereal fried dough production.

Abstract
The study was aimed to develop protein, dietary fiber, and micronutrient enriched corn snacks through extrusion processing. Corn snacks supplemented with chickpea, defatted soy flour (20-40/100 g) and guar gum (7/100 g) were prepared through extrusion processing. Micronutrients (iron, zinc, iodine, and vitamins A, C, and folic acid) at recommended daily values were added in all formulations. Extruded corn snacks were analyzed for physical, textural, and sensory attributes. Results showed that piece density (0.34-0.44 g/cm3 ), moisture (3.40-5.25%), water activity (0.203-0.361), hardness (64.4-133.2 N), and cohesiveness (0.25-0.44) was increased Whereas, expansion ratio (3.72-2.64), springiness (0.82-0.69), chewiness (1.63-0.42), and resilience (1.37-0.14) was decreased as supplementation with soy and chickpea flour increased from 20 to 40/100 g. Overall corn snack supplemented with 15/100 g of soy and 15/100 g of chickpea flour got the highest acceptance from the sensory panelists. PRACTICAL APPLICATIONS The article focuses on physical, textural, and sensory attributes of extruded corn snacks enriched with protein, dietary fiber, and micronutrients Awareness about the importance of healthy snacks has grown among the consumers during the last decade. Extruded snacks developed using nutrient rich ingredients with good textural and sensory properties has always remained a challenge for the snack industry. Texture of the extruded snacks varies a lot with high levels of protein and dietary fiber. This study is helpful for the development of healthy snacks especially in developing countries lacking storage infrastructure or tropical environment. Nutrient rich extruded snacks can also be used to alleviate malnutrition by incorporating in school lunch programs.
