Orange-fleshed Sweet Potato Chips: Processing Effect on Carotenoid Content and Resistant Starch and Sensory Acceptance

HIGHLIGHTS Chips from orange-fleshed sweet potato have a good acceptability. Drying process showed retention of carotenoids total content. Chips from drying or frying process showed high resistant starch content....

Effect of the addition of manioc starch, water and inulin on the technological characteristics of bicuda pâté (Sphyraena tome, Fowler, 1903)

Rev. chil. nutr; 47 (3), 2020
Fish and fish products are an outstanding source of essential protein and micronutrients. In cured meats, such as pâté, the technological characteristics are fundamental to the final quality of the product. The present study aimed to evaluate the effect of the addition of manioc starch, water and inuli...

Chemical characterization of the antioxidant, antihyperglycemic and antihypertensive capacities of red rice (Oryza sativa L. ) whole flour

Rev. chil. nutr; 47 (2), 2020
Oryza sativa L. rice has large amounts of proteins and minerals, besides presenting several pigmented varieties. Red rice is distinguishable due to its great nutritional value compared to the regular white variety. Its red pericarp pigmentation is due to the bioactive compounds that are responsible for i...

A dieta hipercalórica é considerada fator de risco para o desenvolvimento de doenças cardiovasculares, sendo notado que os hábitos ocidentais possuem uma grande influência no desenvolvimento dessas enfermidades. A biomassa e a farinha de banana verde são alimentos que contém amido resistente; este...

Spray Drying of Coloring Extracts Produced by Fungi Isolated from Brazilian Caves

Abstract Pigments produced by submerged fermentation of three filamentous fungi isolated from Brazilian caves, namely Aspergillus keveii, Penicillium flavigenum, and Epicoccum nigrum, were submitted to spray drying in presence of the adjuvants maltodextrin, modified starch or gum arabic. Yellow fine powd...

Amylase from Bacillus sp. Produced by Solid State Fermentation Using Cassava Bagasse as Starch Source

Abstract Amylases are enzymes involved in starch hydrolysis, generating the most diverse products, such as maltose, glucose and dextrins. This work aimed the study of the production of amylolytic enzymes via solid-state fermentation (SSF) using "crueira", an essentially starchy cassava residue, as substr...
