Whole Black Rice Flour Improves the Physicochemical, Glycemic, and Sensory Properties of Cracker Snacks. Foods 2024; 13:1503. [PMID: 38790805 PMCID: PMC11120445 DOI: 10.3390/foods13101503] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/07/2024] [Revised: 05/10/2024] [Accepted: 05/11/2024] [Indexed: 05/26/2024] Open
Abstract
The present study describes the enhancement of the nutritional values of gluten-free rice crackers by adding whole black rice grain flour. The crackers were prepared by combining whole brown rice flour (WRF) and whole black rice flour (BRF) in ratios of 0% (WRC), 25% (25-BRC), 50% (50-BRC), 75% (75-BRC), and 100% (BRC). The resulting samples underwent in-vivo effects on postprandial blood glucose levels as well as physicochemical and sensory analysis. In comparison to WRC, the samples containing 100% added black rice flour presented higher nutritional qualities in terms of protein, by 16.61%, 8.64% for lipids, 5.61% for ash, 36.94% for crude fiber, 58.04% for total polyphenols, 95.49% for proanthocyanidins, and 88.07% for flavonoids. The addition of BRF had a suppressing effect on lightness (L*) and yellowness (b*), while redness (a*) increased. The results of the glycemic measurements confirmed that consumption of crackers made from brown or black whole-grain rice grain flour does not generate glycemic peaks above the limit of 30 mg/dL in baseline blood glucose levels. The results of developing rice crackers from black and brown flour blends showed promising physicochemical and nutritional properties and could provide a good alternative to wheat flour as a gluten-free product.

Assessment of textile effluent treatment by immobilized Trametes pubescens MB 89 for plant growth promotion. ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCE AND POLLUTION RESEARCH INTERNATIONAL 2024; 31:36052-36063.

Abstract
Industrialization and the ever-increasing world population have diminished high-quality water resources for sustainable agriculture. It is imperative to effectively treat industrial effluent to render the treated water available for crop cultivation. This study aimed to assess the effectiveness of textile effluent treated with Trametes pubescens MB 89 in supporting maize cultivation. The fungal treatment reduced the amounts of Co, Pb and As in the textile effluent. The biological oxygen demand, total dissolved solids and total suspended solids were within the permissible limits in the treated effluent. The data indicated that the irrigation of maize with fungal-treated textile effluent improved the growth parameters of the plant including root, shoot length, leaf area and chlorophyll content. Moreover, better antioxidant activity, total phenol content and protein content in roots, stems and leaves of maize plants were obtained. Photosynthetic parameters (potential quantum yield, electron transport rate and fluorescence yield of non-photochemical losses other than heat) were also improved in the plants irrigated with treated effluent as compared to the control groups. In conclusion, the treatment of textile effluent with the immobilized T. pubescens presents a sustainable solution to minimize chemical pollution and effectively utilize water resources.

Food Chem 2024; 434:137452. [PMID: 37741245 DOI: 10.1016/j.foodchem.2023.137452] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/10/2023] [Revised: 08/14/2023] [Accepted: 09/08/2023] [Indexed: 09/25/2023]
Abstract
This work evaluated the structure and quality parameters of dough and cookies prepared using fermented cassava flour, soy protein concentrate, and glucomannan. Glucomannan was incorporated as a fat replacement. The levels of fat replacement were 0%, 10%, 20%, and 30% (CS100, GL90, GM80, and GH70, respectively) relative to the original fat content. Rheological analysis showed that the loss tangent of GH70 dough was the lowest (0.39) with an angular frequency of 0.62 rad/s. Thus, glucomannan affected the dough and caused it to exhibit more solid-like behaviors. Glucomannan covered the starch granules, which mimicked that of fat. A complex interaction was confirmed among starch, glucomannan, and protein in the dough. Glucomannan decreased dough hardness and adhesiveness but significantly increased (p < 0.05) cookie hardness, crispiness, and spread ratio. Dough with low rheological properties, adhesiveness, and hardness will produce good-quality cookies. Glucomannan can be applied as a fat replacer in cookies.
