Four male Japanese were fed a semisynthetic diet including egg and soy powder as protein source for seven days (Basal-diet period), and in the following seven days 200 g of polished rice, wheat flour and buckwheat flour added at the expense of part of the corn starch and sugar in the basal diets (Test-diet period). Urine and feces were collected throughout both periods and the contents of nitro...

This study was aimed to find the formulation of composite flours from rice, cassava, and soybean flours, potato starch, and hydrocolloids, and also to find the egg replacer formulation from whey and soybean protein isolate. The composite flours and egg replacer then were used as wheat flour and egg alternatives in cake production, and some physicochemical and functional properties of the treate...

Recent studies suggest that inclusion of soy product in the diet may have favorable effects on relief of cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) and risk factors. These effects might be associated with the presence of specific polymorphism in gene. The aim of this study was to examine the effects of consumption of soy flour fortified bread on cardiovascular risk factors in overweight and obese women acc...

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 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...
