The dietary requirements of consumers following low-carbohydrate diets are generating a market for protein-fortified products. Soy protein has been shown to lower cholesterol in hypercholesterolemic individuals, and it favorably affects calcium metabolism and kidney function relative to other high-quality proteins. The objective of this research was to investigate the incorporation of protein b...

Wasting and food insecurity are commonly seen in patients receiving antiretroviral treatment (ART) programs in sub-Saharan Africa and south Asia, and supplementary feeding is often offered in conjunction with ART. Evidence for the effectiveness of such supplementary feeding is scant. A randomised, investigator-blinded, controlled clinical trial of two types of supplementary food, corn/soy blend...

introduction: cakes are usually formulated including wheat flour, sugar, egg and some liquids such as milk, water and oil. the textural properties of gluten in dough such as tensile, expansion and tolerance capability during mixing are major factors in baking industry. in fact, the structural protein to produce bread, cakes, muffins and biscuits is called gluten and the absence of gluten due to...

Nutrient dense instant porridge was prepared with flours from corn, whole wheat, malted finger millet, sprouted whole green gram, soy protein isolates, unsalted roasted peanuts, dairy whitener and dried papaya in different ratios to make the multi-nutrient mix. Processing parameters viz. Flour Concentration (FC):10-20%, Sugar Concentration (SC): 50-75% and Cooking Time (CT): 1-5 min were optimi...

Over 90% of phytic acid has been removed from full-fat soy flour by a lipid-protein concentrate process previously reported in 1974 by the Northern Regional Research Center. In the current study, parameters for optimizing phytic acid removal were evaluated. By changing both the molar concentration of the calcium chloride solution used and the pH of the initial acid slurry, various amounts of ph...

Aqueous extraction processing (AEP) of soy is a promising green alternative to hexane extraction processing. To improve AEP oil yields, experiments were conducted to probe the mechanisms of oil release. Microscopy of extruded soy before and after extraction with and without protease indicated that unextracted oil is sequestered in an insoluble matrix of denatured protein and is released by prot...
