Effect Of Adding Unconventional Raw Materials On The Technological Properties Of Rice Fresh Pasta

The aim of this study was to develop fettuccini type rice fresh pasta by cold extrusion. To produce the pasta, a 22 Central Composite Rotational Design was used, in which the effects of the addition of pre-gelatinized rice flour - PGRF (0-60%) and modified egg albumin - MEA (0-10%) were studied. The dependent variables were the results of the cooking test and of the instrumental texture. The optimum cooking time for all of the formulations of rice fresh pasta was 3 minutes. MEA had a greater effect on increasing the weight of the pasta when compared to that of PGRF. It was found that with the addition of PGRF increase in loss of solids in cooking water, whereas MEA exerted the opposite effect on this parameter. Moreover, the maximum value of MEA (10%) had an optimum effect on pasta firmness, while PGRF had a negative effect on this parameter. The maximum values of PGRF and MEA reduced the stickiness of the pasta. Based on these results and on the parameters considered as most important, the rice pasta with the best technological characteristics was that with the maximum levels of MEA (10%) and no addition of PGRF (0%). This product was submitted to sensory and microbiological analyses, with good results.332257264Alamprese, C., Casiraghi, E., Rossi, M., Modeling of fresh egg pasta characteristics for egg content and albumen to yolk ratio (2009) Journal of Food Engineering, 93, pp. 302-307. , http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.jfoodeng.2009.01.025Alamprese, C., Casiraghi, E., Rossi, R., Effects of housing system and age of laying hens on egg performance in fresh pasta production: Pasta cooking behaviour (2011) Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, 91, pp. 910-914. , http://dx.doi.org/10.1002/jsfa.4264, PMid:21384359(2011) Approved Methods of Analysis, , AMERICAN ASSOCIATION OF CEREAL CHEMISTS - AACC, 11th ed.

Impact of pH adjustment on the characteristics of processed cheese from sheep milk and cow milk

The effects of milk from different species (sheep/cow) and pH adjustment in the production of Requeijão cremoso, a kind of processed cheese, were investigated. The results showed that the sheep's Requeijão cremoso had higher pH (∼3%), lower yellowness index (∼11%), and lower brightness (∼12%) after 5 days of storage, and at least 40% lower hardness compared to the Requeijão made from cow milk. The pH adjustment did not change the visual appearance of the samples but affected their hardness in different ways, with an increase of up to 16% for the cheese from cow milk and a reduction of up to 39% for the cheese produced from sheep milk. The results suggested that the protein-protein interactions were favoured in the Requeijão cremoso from sheep milk, while a protein network with higher water holding capacity and increased hardness was observed for the samples from cow milk
