Functionality of cassava genotypes for waxy starch

Abstract: The objective of this work was to select cassava (Manihot esculenta) genotypes from the Brazilian germplasm bank with a functionality similar to that of waxy starch. A total of 881 genotypes were pre-selected using principal component analysis and hierarchical clustering, and their industrial potential was compared with that of the 7745-5WX waxy cassava and the WX-Maize waxy maize clones, both used as...

Influence of milling and extrusion on the sorption properties of sorghum

Abstract The processing to which a material is subjected can affect its physical or chemical structures, resulting in products with different hygroscopic behaviours. The present work studied the water adsorption properties of sorghum subjected to different types of processing: raw flour (produced by milling whole grain), extrudates (obtained using a double screw extruder) and extruded flour (obtained by milling...

Moisture sorption isotherms of raw and extruded wholemeal sorghum flours studie...

Abstract The saturated salt slurry method has been a standard method for many years, but there are several drawbacks, including long equilibration times, extensive labour and mould growth at high water activity (aw) values. The validity of the dynamic method (automated sorption instrument) was investigated by comparing it with the equilibrium isotherms obtained using the saturated salt slurry method for two foo...

Efeito do ultrassom na extração e modificação de amidos

RESUMO: O ultrassom é considerado uma tecnologia limpa, por possibilitar menor gasto de energia, de substâncias químicas e menor geração de efluentes. Além disso, proporciona menor tempo de processamento e reduz a necessidade de aplicação de calor em vários processos. Por isso, tem sido alvo de pesquisa e desenvolvimento na indústria de alimentos, tanto para substituir, quanto para aperfeiçoar ou acelerar técni...

Filmes compostos biodegradáveis a base de amido de mandioca e proteína de soja

Filmes provenientes de biopolímeros (polissacarídeos e proteínas) apresentam-se como alternativa ao uso de derivados petroquímicos, possibilitando a formação de matrizes contínuas, e a otimização de parâmetros como pH e tipo de plastificante pode resultar em materiais com propriedades melhoradas. Neste estudo, filmes de amido de mandioca produzidos por casting foram avaliados quanto a adição de extrato proteico...

Propiedades reológicas y de adsorción de agua de harina extrudida de arroz y ba...

El bagazo de cebada procedente de la industria cervecera se utiliza comúnmente en la alimentación animal, pero por medio de un proceso adecuado puede servir como alternativa en las formulaciones de productos alimentares ricos en fibra y proteína. La combinación de bagazo de cebada y arroz (82:18) fue procesada por extrusión para obtener la harina mixta extrudida de bagazo y arroz, de la cual se determinaron las...

Characterization of cassava starch processed in an internal mixer

An internal mixer connected to a torque rheometer was used to investigate the effect of moisture content (13.2 to 46.8 g.100g- 1), rotation speed (13.2 to 46.8 rpm) and processing temperature (53.2 to 86.8 °C), applying a factorial central composite design, on the specific mechanical energy (SME), pasting viscosity and crystallinity of cassava starch. Torque values were highly significant for the three variable...

Caracterização físico-química de filmes comestíveis de amido adicionado de acer...

Edibles films are an alternative to synthetic materials used for packing food products. Barbados cherry is rich in vitamin C and carotenoids. The aim of this study was to characterize and develop films by casting from cassava starch, lyophilized Barbados cherry pulp and glycerol. The films were characterized with respect to thickness, water vapor permeability (WVP), water solubility, vitamin C, carotene and mec...

Effect of sugar and water contents on non-expanded cassava flour extrudates

The effects of sucrose and water contents on cassava flour processed by extrusion at varied concentrations of sucrose (0-20% w/w) and water (28-42% w/w) were studied by applying response surface methodology. The extrusion of the mixtures was performed in a twin screw extruder fitted to a torque rheometer. The specific mechanical energy (SME) dissipated inside a conical twin-screw extruder was measured. Water ab...
