Assessment of Nutritional Value and Maillard Reaction in Different Gluten-Free Pasta

Evaluating the nutritional quality and thermal damage effects of gluten-free foods is essential to ensure that people with gluten intolerance or celiac disease can safely meet their needs. In this work, fifteen different commercial gluten-free pasta samples made from cereals, pseudocereals, and pulses, alone or in mixed combinations, were analyzed to assess their nutritional value, essential amino acids composition, and protein chemical score. The occurrence of the Maillard reaction was investigated, and the levels of heat treatment markers (furosine, maltulose, hydroxymethylfurfural, and glucosylisomaltol) were determined. Analysis of the furosine values showed that pasta made with the same raw materials can have different degrees of thermal damage. There was no evidence of the Maillard reaction progressing in the advanced phase in any of the samples tested. Finally, the correlation between maltulose and furosine levels demonstrated the usefulness of combining the two markers to assess the extent of thermal damag

Layered Micro-Wall Structures from the Gas Phase

The use of3-D LCVD with volumetric rate feedback was investigated in the fabrication ofmicromechanical wall structures. These were constructed by recursive laser scanning and resulted in layered wall composed ofrecursive line deposition. Experiments were designed to uncover the relationship between scan rate, volumetric deposition rate, pressure and laser powerfor pyrolytic graphite from an ethylene precursor. Results point to a conduction dominated heat transfer which greatly limits the volumetric deposition rate at the wall. This also results in a highly unstable deposition process, since volumetric deposition increases by orders ofmagnitude as soon as rod growth is initiated. An unexpected results ofthis work is the ability to grow rods at an angle to the laser axis, with good control ofthe linear growth rate. This is achieved by adaptive laser scanning during rod growth.Mechanical Engineerin

PERBANDINGAN RETINAL NERVE FIBER LAYER DAN GANGLION CELL LAYER THICKNESS PASIEN PASKA STROKE ISKEMIK PADA PENGUKURAN BASELINE DAN SETELAH 2 BULAN DI RSUP DR. M. DJAMIL PADANG

Pendahuluan : Penurunan visus dan defek lapang pandang merupakan komplikasi paska stroke iskemik yang sering terjadi namun sering terlewatkan. Komplikasi tersebut terjadi akibat kerusakan sel ganglion retina akibat iskemik di otak dan mengakibatkan transneuronal retrograde degeneration (TRD). Proses TRD dibuktikan dengan terdapatnya penipisan retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) dan ganglion cell layer (GCL) yang dinilai melalui pemeriksaan OCT. Metode: Sebelas pasien paska stroke iskemik fase sub akut dilakukan pemeriksaan BCVA dan OCT pada baseline kemudian hasil dibandingkan dengan pemeriksaan kedua (2 bulan kemudian). Hasil: Iskemik serebri ditemukan lebih banyak mengenai lebih 1 area di serebral. RNFL thickness setelah 2 bulan (85,55 ± 5,90 m) lebih tipis dibandingkan baseline (89,91 ± 5,65 m) terutama pada mata kiri. GCL thickness setelah 2 bulan lebih tipis (68,09±6,37 m) dibandingkan baseline (74,54±6,25m) terutama pada mata kiri. Rentang BCVA pada kedua mata adalah 0,40 – 1,00 (rerata 0,81±0,27) dan tidak ada perbedaan baseline dan setelah 2 bulan. Tidak ditemukan hubungan yang bermakna antara penipisan RNFL dan GCL thickness dengan BCVA pada kedua mata (p>0.05). Kesimpulan: Pada penelitian ini, RNFL dan GCL thickness pasien paska stroke iskemik lebih tipis di pengukuran setelah 2 bulan, tetapi BCVA tidak mengalami perubahan, kemungkinan karena lesi iskemik tidak langsung berada di jalur visual, dan penipisan tersebut belum cukup untuk mengakibatkan terganggunya visus sentral, namun mungkin berdampak pada sensitifitas kontras dan lapang pandang.

Effect of Different Egg Products on Lipid Oxidation of Biscuits

Egg products are one of the main ingredients used in bakery industries, and they contain cholesterol. Cholesterol su ers several chemical changes during the food processes, allowing some potentially toxic compounds called cholesterol oxidized products (COPs). Thus, the aim of this work was to study the evolution of lipid oxidation from eggs to egg products, and to evaluate the influence of egg products on COPs formation in biscuits formulated with them. The results confirmed that spray-drying technology improves the cholesterol oxidation 2.6 times compared to pasteurized eggs. Biscuit samples showed a COPs content that is strictly related to the egg products used. Samples formulated with spray-dried eggs noticed lower amounts of COPs compared to those formulated with pasteurized eggs. It is important to stress that COPs composition was di erent between the two samples, underlining that the kinetic of COPs formation is dependent on the type of egg products.Spanish Ministry of Economy and Competitiveness (MINECO) RYC-2015-1879

Lipid Process Markers of Durum Wheat Debranning Fractions

At present, whole grains are usually obtained by adding bran and middlings to refined flours, and this recombination leads to certain variations in the ratio of endosperm, bran and germ, resulting in flours with very different compositional characteristics and rheological properties. Therefore, this study focuses on the identification of specific lipid markers in different debranning fractions of Italian and Canadian durum wheat blends. The by-products obtained from five different debranning levels (3, 6, 9, 12 and 15%) had a high content of monounsaturated fatty acids and a higher concentration of tocopherols and sterols than the corresponding debranned grains. The Italian and Canadian durum wheat samples did not show significant differences in the content of these bioactive lipid compounds. In particular, palmitic acid, oleic acid, tocopherol isomers and total sterols could be useful biomarkers for evaluating the grain-to-tissue ratio in recombined flours
