Effects of roasting and steeping on nutrients and physiochemical compounds in organically grown naked barley teas. Food Chem X 2024; 22:101385. [PMID: 38665632 PMCID: PMC11043873 DOI: 10.1016/j.fochx.2024.101385] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/19/2023] [Revised: 04/09/2024] [Accepted: 04/11/2024] [Indexed: 04/28/2024] Open
Abstract
Barley tea, a popular beverage with cultural traditions in East Asia, has long been esteemed for its flavor, aroma, thirst-quenching properties and perceived health benefits attributed to bioactive compounds. This study investigated the nutritional, bioactive, and antioxidant aspects of three commercial naked barley varieties, focusing on the impact of roasting and subsequent steeping for tea. Roasting did not affect total dietary fiber or β-glucan content. The process reduced sugar content and led to the disappearance of free amino acids, contributing to high levels of acrylamide and color changes. Roasting diminished total phenolic compounds, particularly flavonoids, resulting in reduced antioxidant activity. Metabolite analysis identified compounds in roasted grains that could influence tea flavor and aroma. Roasted barley tea made from these varieties was not a source of dietary fiber or antioxidants, but also contained no acrylamide. Therefore, consumers seeking such benefits from barley are urged to consume whole grain foods.

Effect of a regular consumption of traditional and roasted oat and barley flakes on blood lipids and glucose metabolism-A randomized crossover trial. Front Nutr 2023; 10:1095245. [PMID: 36819683 PMCID: PMC9932717 DOI: 10.3389/fnut.2023.1095245] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/10/2022] [Accepted: 01/17/2023] [Indexed: 02/05/2023] Open
Abstract
Background Regular consumption of the soluble dietary fiber β-glucan is associated with decreased total cholesterol (TC), low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol and blood glucose. Barley and oat flakes as natural sources of β-glucan were roasted to improve sensory quality. The aim of this study was to investigate whether roasting of barley and oat flakes changes the physiological impact of the β-glucan-rich flakes on glucose and lipid metabolism. Method A five-armed randomized crossover trial design was used. The intervention study was conducted from May 2018 to May 2019 and included 32 healthy subjects with moderately increased LDL cholesterol (≥2.5 mmol/L). During the 3-week intervention periods, 80 g of roasted or traditional barley or oat flakes, or four slices of white toast bread per day were consumed for breakfast. At the start and the end of each intervention, fasting and postprandial blood was taken. The intervention periods were separated by 3-week wash-out periods. Results During the interventions with the cereal flakes, TC and LDL cholesterol concentrations were significantly reduced compared to baseline values by mean differences of 0.27-0.33 mmol/L and 0.21-0.30 mmol/L, respectively (p < 0.05), while high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol was only reduced after the intervention with barley flakes (p < 0.05). After the intervention period with toast, TC and HDL cholesterol increased (p < 0.05). The fasting levels of triglycerides, fasting blood glucose and insulin did not change in any group. The effects of traditional and roasted varieties on blood lipids did not differ between the groups. Conclusion The regular consumption of traditional or roasted barley and oat flakes contributes to the management of cardiovascular diseases by improving TC and LDL cholesterol.

Characterization of Volatile Compounds by HS-GC-IMS and Chemical Composition Analysis of Colored Highland Barley Roasted at Different Temperatures. Foods 2022; 11:foods11182921. [PMID: 36141048 PMCID: PMC9498828 DOI: 10.3390/foods11182921] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/15/2022] [Revised: 09/14/2022] [Accepted: 09/16/2022] [Indexed: 11/17/2022] Open
Abstract
Colored highland barley (CHB) is featured with its potential health-promoting benefits. CHB is frequently processed through roasting, which changes its volatile smells, color, and composition. The objective of this work was to establish the volatile fingerprints of CHB that had been roasted at different temperatures using E-nose and headspace-gas-chromatography-ion-mobility spectroscopy (HS-GC-IMS). The findings showed that roasting increased the relative contents of pyrazines, aldehydes, and ketones while decreasing the relative contents of alcohols, esters, and sulfides. Pyrazines were identified as the markers for volatile substances of the roasted CHB (RCHB). The outcomes of the principal component analysis (PCA) and hierarchical clustering analysis (HCA) demonstrated that the volatiles could easily distinguish between raw CHB and RCHB instead of differentiating between CHB roasted at different temperatures. Additionally, after roasting, the color characteristics and CHB constituents underwent changes, and the effect of roasting temperature on these changes differed depending on the cultivar. Protein, free amino acids, and flavonoids appeared to primarily participate in the variations of volatile substances, and the free fluorescence intermediary compounds might involve changes in color parameters and aromas. These findings improved our knowledge of the volatiles in CHB that were roasted under various conditions.

Traditional Cooking Methods Affect Color, Texture and Bioactive Nutrients of Undaria pinnatifida. Foods 2022; 11:foods11081078. [PMID: 35454666 PMCID: PMC9028335 DOI: 10.3390/foods11081078] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/07/2022] [Revised: 04/04/2022] [Accepted: 04/07/2022] [Indexed: 12/12/2022] Open
Abstract
Undaria pinnatifida (U. pinnatifida) is an edible brown seaweed with high health value. The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of traditional cooking methods (i.e., blanching, steaming, boiling and baking) on the color, texture and bioactive nutrients of U. pinnatifida, so as to screen out the traditional cooking methods more suitable for U. pinnatifida. In this study, methods of blanching and boiling resulted in better reduction in total color difference (0.91 ± 0.58 and 0.79 ± 0.34, respectively) and retention of chlorophyll A (62.99 ± 1.27 µg/g FW and 51.35 ± 1.69 µg/g FW), along with better elevation of fucoxanthin content (increased by 11.05% and 18.32%, respectively). Baking method got the best retention of total phenol content (1.62 ± 0.11 mg GAE/g DW), followed by methods of boiling and blanching (1.51 ± 0.07 mg GAE/g DW and 1.43 ± 0.05 mg GAE/g DW). Among these cooking methods, blanching and boiling seemed to be the more suitable for U. pinnatifida compared to other methods. These results could help to determine the better cooking methods for U. pinnatifida products and provide a scientific and theoretical basis for improving human dietary health.

Quality Assessment of Cookies Made from Composite Flours Containing Malted Barley Flour and Wheat Flour. PLANTS (BASEL, SWITZERLAND) 2022; 11:plants11060761. [PMID: 35336642 PMCID: PMC8948820 DOI: 10.3390/plants11060761] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/22/2022] [Revised: 03/11/2022] [Accepted: 03/11/2022] [Indexed: 05/27/2023]
Abstract
Wheat-based short-dough cookies are considered low nutritional value foods because their recipes are high in fat and sugar. The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of replacing part of the wheat flour (WF) with different types of malted barley flour (MBF), while reducing sucrose in the recipe, in order to produce cookies with increased nutritional value, enhanced functional properties, and acceptable technological and sensory characteristics. Three types of brewer's MBF (Pilsen, Amber, and Black) were used to replace WF in amounts of 20, 40, and 60%, while simultaneously reducing the addition of sucrose. Sucrose was added at levels of 66.6, 33.3, and 0% of the original standard recipe. MBF mitigated the effects of the reduced sucrose addition, likely due to its own high sugar content derived from barley malt. Snapping force determined with a texture analyzer decreased proportionally to sucrose reduction and MBF addition, indicating a softer texture of the cookies. MBF significantly increased the total phenolic content (TPC) and antioxidant activity (AOA) of the cookies. The results of the sensory analysis showed that cookies with Pilsen MBF and Amber MBF had a pleasantly sweet and rich flavor, while the addition of Black MBF produced an exaggerated bitter flavor and a nutty roasted aroma. The results suggest that different types of brewer's MBF can be successfully used to produce functional cookies with reduced sucrose addition.

An overview of conventional and emerging techniques of roasting: Effect on food bioactive signatures. Food Chem 2021; 348:129088.

Abstract
Roasting is a food processingtechnique that employs the principle of heating to cook the product evenly and enhance the digestibility, palatability and sensory aspects of foods with desirable structural modifications of the food matrix. With the burgeoning demand for fortified roasted products along with the concern for food hygiene and the effects of harmful compounds, novel roasting techniques, and equipment to overcome the limitations of conventional operations are indispensable. Roasting techniques employing microwave, infrared hot-air, superheated steam, Revtech roaster, and Forced Convection Continuous Tumble (FCCT) roasting have been figuratively emerging to prominence for effectively roasting different foods without compromising the nutritional quality. The present review critically appraises various conventional and emerging roasting techniques, their advantages and limitations, and their effect on different food matrix components, functional properties, structural attributes, and sensory aspects for a wide range of products. It was seen that thermal processing at high temperatures for increased durations affected both the physicochemical and structural properties of food. Nevertheless, novel techniques caused minimum destructive impacts as compared to the traditional processes. However, further studies applying novel roasting techniques with a wide range of operating conditions on different types of products are crucial to establish the potential of these techniques in obtaining safe, quality foods.

Abstract
The unique dietary fiber composition with high contents of β-glucan contributes to the health-promoting properties of oat and barley and may mediate a reduction of colon cancer risk. In the present study, chemopreventive effects of oat and barley (beta®barley) kernels were investigated. In order to address the impact of thermal processing on these effects, kernels were roasted (150-180 °C, approx. 20 min), digested and fermented using an In Vitro human digestion model. Concentrations of short-chain fatty acids (SCFA) and ammonia were determined in fermentation supernatants (FS). Growth inhibition, apoptosis, DNA integrity and gene expression of catalase were analyzed in LT97 colon adenoma cells. Concentrations of SCFA, particularly butyrate, were higher in oat/barley FS (2.2-fold, on average), while ammonia levels were significantly lower (0.7-fold, on average) than in the fermentation control. Treatment of LT97 cells with FS of oat/barley kernels led to a significant time- and dose-dependent growth reduction, a significant increase in caspase-3 activity and enhanced levels of catalase mRNA, without exhibiting genotoxic effects. In general, the results indicate a chemopreventive potential of In Vitro fermented oat and waxy winter barley mediated mainly by growth inhibitory and apoptotic effects, which are preserved after thermal processing.

Abstract
AbstractThe chemopreventive effects of β-glucan-rich cereals such as oat and barley (beta®barley) have been examined previously, but studies comparing fermentation characteristics and chemopreventive effects of oat and barley of different processing stages are rare. Therefore, the present study aims at investigating the fermentation end points (pH values, concentrations of short-chain fatty acids (SCFA) and ammonia) in fermentation supernatants (FS) obtained from differently processed oat and barley samples (kernels, thick and thin flakes). Chemopreventive effects of FS, such as growth inhibition, apoptosis, and induction of cell cycle- and redox-relevant genes (p21, SOD2), were analysed in LT97 colon adenoma cells. After fermentation, pH values were reduced (∆ pH − 1.3, on average) and SCFA concentrations were increased (∆ + 59 mmol/L, on average) with a shift towards butyrate formation in FS obtained from oat and barley samples compared to the fermentation negative control (FS blank). Ammonia was reduced more effectively in FS obtained from barley (∆ − 4.6 mmol/L, on average) than from oat samples (∆ − 1.0 mmol/L, on average). Treatment of LT97 cells with FS resulted in a time- and dose-dependent reduction of cell number, an increase in caspase-3 activity (up to 9.0-fold after 24 h, on average) and an induction of p21 (2.1-fold, on average) and SOD2 (2.3-fold, on average) mRNA expression, while no genotoxic effects were observed. In general, the results indicate no concrete effect of the type of cereal or processing stage on fermentation and chemopreventive effects of oat and barley.

Abstract
Barley is one of the most important cereal crops and arranged globally as fourth after wheat, rice, and corn. It is known for its beneficial effects against degenerative diseases including diabetes, obesity, hypertension, and colon inflammation which are associated with eating habits and improper lifestyles. These effects are mainly attributed to its rich dietary fibers, i.e., β-glucan composition. Moreover, barley considered as a good source of starch, minerals, vitamins, and protein pose it as an ideal food supplement. Nevertheless, about 2% of the barley global production is utilized due to unacceptable organoleptic characters. Therefore, continuous modifications are ongoing either to develop new cultivars for different purposes, or novel processing methods to improve its organoleptic characters. In this review, we provide a comprehensive overview of the macroconstituents and microconstituents of barley, its nutritional value and prebiotic effects. Further, different processing procedures performed to improve its organoleptic characters or to decrease its antinutrient levels are outlined with suggestions for further needed cultivars that could preserve the different benefits of barley and maximize its value as a major cereal crop.

Abstract
The aim of the present study was to analyse chemopreventive effects of oat flakes under consideration of processing. Thin and thick flakes were roasted and subjected to an in vitro digestion and fermentation. Fermentation supernatants (FS) were characterised and chemopreventive effects were analysed in LT97 colon adenoma cells. Compared to the fermentation control, pH values were decreased (from pH 6.3 to pH 5.0) and concentrations of SCFA, in particular butyrate, were increased in oat FS (2.6-fold, on average). Ammonia levels were not altered. Oat FS significantly decreased cell growth time- and dose-dependently. Caspase 3 activity was significantly increased (9.7-fold, on average). Oat FS slightly increased the mRNA expression of CAT (2.0-fold), SOD2 (1.7-fold) and GSTP1 (2.8-fold), on average, while GPX1 mRNA (0.3-fold) was decreased. The results indicate a chemopreventive potential of in vitro digested oat flakes regarding colon cancer development mediated mostly by growth inhibition and apoptosis, unaffected by roasting.
