The objectives of this work were to (a) determine the percentage recovery of three allergens (casein, egg and soy) simultaneously incurred in a flour matrix, (b) investigate the effect of different baking periods on allergen recovery using two different methods of allergen detection, namely enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) and flow cytometry, and c) determine the solubility of proteins...

The impact of jet cooking on shear strength soy-and-water adhesives was investigated to understand the higher commercial soy protein isolates compared flours. Soy flour-based wood are appealing because their bio-based content, low formaldehyde emission, and cost, but application is limited by wet cohesive strength. Previous researchers proposed that process (steam injection with high turbulence...

The nutritional benefits of grain legumes such as cowpea and soybean in sub-Saharan Africa have not been fully utilized to alleviate problem of protein-malnutrition in this region. This study aimed to evaluate and compare the nutritional properties and sensory evaluation of snack food made from high-quality cassava flour (HQCF) and soybeans (50:50), and HQCF and cowpea (50:50). Sensory evaluati...

BACKGROUND One way to diminish protein malnutrition in children is by enriching cereal-based flours for the manufacturing of maize tortillas, wheat flour tortillas, and yeast-leavened breads, which are widely consumed among low socio-economic groups. OBJECTIVE The aim was to determine and compare the essential amino acid (EAA) scores, protein digestibility corrected amino acid scores (PDCAAS)...

A case of anaphylaxis is reported in the course of a prick by prick with Lupinus albus and roasted peanut in a 20-year-old woman. We focused on some main topics. First of all it seems important to underscore the potential risks connected to the practice of the prick-by-prick with fresh foods in allergic patients, especially when testing cross-reactive substances, such as White Lupine, peanuts, ...

The influence of full-fat soy flour (FFSF) and extrusion conditions on the mechanical characteristics of dry spaghetti were evaluated. Process was performed with screw speed of 10-40rpm and water circulating temperature of 35-70°C. Data analysis using mixture design showed that this enrichment resulted in significant differences in mechanical strength. Keywords—Pasta, Mixture design, Enrichment...

Article history: Received on: 07/04/2015 Revised on: 22/04/2015 Accepted on: 11/05/2015 Available online: 20/06/2015 Genetically modified organisms (GMOs) and their raw materials used in processed foods should be analyzed and labeled. The aim of our study was to evaluate the present situation of the food products and to determine appropriate DNA isolation method in processed food products. Keep...

The main objective of this study was to eliminate the hemagglutination activity of an antinutritional factor in soybeans, soybean agglutinin (SBA). A series of experiments was designed to enzymatically modify SBA structure and to use other physical treatments to reduce activity. SBA extract was prepared from soy flour and used as the substrate for all treatments. Deglycosylation by enzyme decre...

BACKGROUND The aim of this paper was to investigate whether a statistical model could be developed to estimate a "threshold" dose for foods eliciting allergic reactions in susceptible patients. The threshold dose is defined to be one that elicits allergic reactions in a given (small) proportion of susceptible patients, using data from published studies. METHODS Based on data available from th...
