Séchage et enrobage d'un extrait aqueux de jus de grenade concentré en substances bioactives

Objectif du projet : l’objectif de ce travail est de créer une poudre concentrée en substances bioactives. Elle est fabriquée dans un lit fluidisé (Glatt GPCG-). Parallèlement, une régulation du débit d’air de ce même appareil est effectuée dans le cadre du travail de diplôme de Joël Martins (Power & Control)

Stability of goji bioactives during extrusion cooking process

Due to the increasing popularity of goji berries, efforts are made to enlarge the offer of goji containing foods. In this study, rice flour based extrudates enriched with goji berries were investigated. The extrusion was performed using a twin screw extruder with constant feed moisture and screw speed. Raw mixtures as well as extruded products obtained were analysed in order to determine antioxidant activity and contents of rutin, zeaxanthin dipalmitate and 2-O-β-d-glucopyranosyl-l-ascorbic acid. The antioxidant activity of goji extrudates was boosted up to 20 times compared to the extrudates without any addition. The process of extrusion increased the antioxidant activity despite of decrease in rutin content. Regardless of extrusion conditions rutin retention in the extrudates was not lower than 60% compared to the respective raw mixtures. In the case of zeaxanthin dipalmitate the retention level was around 40%. 2-O-β-d-glucopyranosyl-l-ascorbic acid was stable at the conditions applied

Juice Powders from Rosehip (<i>Rosa canina</i> L.): Physical, Chemical, and Antiglycation Properties

Fruits from rosehip (Rosa canina L.) are gaining popularity due to their content and profile of bioactive components. Rosehip is distinct for its antioxidant, immunomodulatory, and anticancer properties. However, the abundance of these bioactives led to a tart taste, resulting in its consumption mainly in processed form. Due to microbiological safety, pasteurization is the preferred way of processing, which affects the chemical properties of the juice. A promising approach to improve acceptability of rosehip’s physical properties, while preserving its bioactive compounds and adding health-promoting benefits, is to enrich the rosehip juice with functional carriers before drying. The influence of the carrier type (maltodextrin, inulin, trehalose, palatinose) and drying technique (spray- and freeze-drying) on the physical, chemical, and antioxidant properties of pasteurized, and non-pasteurized juice powders was examined in this study. In addition, the ability of powders with functional carriers to inhibit protein glycation was evaluated. Spray drying led to products with improved physical properties in relation to freeze-drying. The addition of carrier substances significantly influenced the antioxidant capacity determined by TEAC ABTS and FRAP methods, whereby the application of inulin and palatinose retained antioxidant capacity better than the frequently used maltodextrin. Moreover, rosehip juice powders showed a promising ability to inhibit protein glycation

Goji berry and whey protein concentrate enriched rice extrudates - physical properties and accessibility of bioactives

Extrudates are gaining popularity as convenient ready-to-eat products such as snacks or breakfast cereals. The nutritional limitation of extruded products is their low content of proteins, fibres, and phytochemicals. The challenge lies in increasing the nutritional value of extruded products while maintaining the quality of expansion. Goji berries are rich in bioactive compounds, such as polysaccharides, phenolic compounds, carotenoids, and an analogue of vitamin C. In the present study, rice flour-based extruded products were enriched with goji berries and whey protein concentrate. The varying addition of goji berries and whey protein concentrate affected expansion ratio, colour, and texture parameters of extrudates. The content and bioaccessibility of goji bioactives, i.e. 2-O-β-D-glucopyranosyl-L-ascorbic acid (2-β-gAA) and the dominant phenolic compound – rutin, were evaluated for two extrudates with the highest addition of goji and whey protein concentrate. The extrusion process significantly reduced the content of 2-β-gAA both in formulations with and without whey protein concentrate by approximately 15%. The bioaccessibility of 2-β-gAA was negatively affected by the extrusion process, but not that of rutin. The addition of whey protein concentrate at a level of 7% had no significant effect on the bioaccessibility of neither 2-β-gAA nor rutin
