Sensory parameters of gluten-free bread depend on the amount and type of hydrocolloids used as gluten replacers, as this determines interactions between them and starch, which is the main component of dough. The evaluation of gluten-free breads supplemented with various amounts of guar gum, pectin and xanthan, proved that bread with addition of xanthan has higher volume in comparison with pectin-guar...
Ultrasonic is a rapidly growing field of research, which is finding increasing use in the food industry for both the analysis and modification of food products. The sound ranges employed can be divided into high frequency, low energy diagnostic ultra- sound and low frequency, high energy power ultrasound. The former is usually used as a non-destructive analytical technique for quality assurance and...
The objective of the investigations performed was to assess the antioxidant properties of the seeds and peels of selected fruits. The antioxidant activity as well as total polyphenol and tannin content were determined. The results obtained revealed essential diversities of the analysed parameters among the material examined. The peels were characterized by higher ability to scavenge free radicals...
In the study the effect was assessed of sample processing with solutions containing inhibitors of enzymatic browning and tissue softening and sucrose on the quality of minimally processed apples. Ascorbic acid, citric acid, 4-hexylresorcinol, sodium chloride, calcium chloride, sodium lactate, calcium lactate and sucrose were used as inhibitors. The application in apple slice processing of a solution...
The presented work defines the influence of technological process on chemical composition of peppers. The technological treatments made in this work were: lyophilization and samples evaporation. Evaporation process was conducted in two conditions of temperature and pressure: I – 35°C and 70 mbar, II – 50°C and 400 mbar. The working material consisted of four pepper cultivars, two sweet: ‘King Artur’...
The popularity of seven groups of processed foodstuffs (soups, dinners, pulverized fruits and vegetables, desserts, dairy desserts, juices, teas) for infants and small children aged 4 months up to 3 years, available on the market and comprising a total of 154 products, was investigated in this study. A survey was carried out in the group of 100 individuals. They were mothers and fathers bringing their...
Investigations were conducted on the level of the overall proteolytic activity in flour fractions as well as fine and bruise bran, obtained from four varieties of wheat (‘Zyta’, ‘Pegassus’, ‘Sukces’, ‘Tonacja’), subjected to pre-harvest sprouting. Moreover, an analysis was conducted on the effect of pre-harvest sprouting on the functional properties of flour, determining the physical properties of...
The aim of this work was to investigate the effect of freezing and long-term frozen storage on total phenolic, total anthocyanin contents and antioxidant activity of highbush blueberries (Vaccinium corymbosum L.). In addition, a HPLC method was developed for the determination of individual anthocyanins and chlorogenic acid contents. Blueberries were frozen at –18°C and –35°C and were stored at these...
The PAHs content in four groups of meat products industrially and traditionally smoked was determined. Methodology applied for the study included fat’s extraction, PAHs isolation using GPC and consequently qualitative-quantitative compound’s determination by HPLC-FLD/DAD. Mostly traditional method of smoking affected the higher total PAHs contamination. For all products smoked using both methods it...
The retrogradation susceptibility of starch determines consumer suitability of food products rich in this polymer. Starch isolated from flour obtained from rye variety ‘Amilo’, which displays very low amylolytic activity, contains highest amounts of amylose and exhibits strong retrogradation susceptibility. Flour from rye ‘Dankowskie Złote’ and commercial rye flour type 720, that have higher amylolytic...
The aim of the study was an estimation of the level of nutrition knowledge on iodine deficiency in woman with diagnosed thyroid diseases and its comparison with healthy woman’s knowledge. The study was conducted by direct interview method among 400 women – 200 patients of the Clinic of Thyroid Diseases in Poznan (Poland) and 200 “healthy” individuals (thyroid diseases were not diagnosed). Respondents...
The aim of the study was to check the influence of extrusion on the content of polyphenol and antioxidant/antiradical activity of rye grains. The extrudates prepared from three cultivars of rye were obtained at different process parameters. Total polyphenol, antioxidant and antiradical activity was measured in the samples. Extrusion resulted in a decrease of total polyphenol content (TPC) on average...
Emission of light as a result of biochemical activities of some living bacteria Vibrio fischeri (in the past known as Photobacterium phosphoreum) makes it possible to monitor environmental changes in ecosystems. Toxicity testing as an international standard operating procedure based on the use of this method has already been accepted. The bioluminescent test offers a rapid, simple and sensitive method...
Applicability of selected marine and freshwater fish and squid for snack food manufacture by indirect extrusion cooking was evaluated. Formulations consisting of various cereals and meat were extruded with a 20-DN single-screw laboratory extruder (Brabender, Germany). Meat of lean fish showed better extrusion characteristics than that of fat fish, fresh fish being superior in this respect to frozen...
Due to presented in literature potential health benefits of shiitake Lentinula edodes (Berk.) Pegl. and oyster mushroom Pleurotus ostreatus (Jacq.: Fr.) Kumm., chemical composition as well as Fe, Cu and Zn ions sorption (in conditions related to human digestive tract) by dried shiitake and oyster were investigated. Both dried mushrooms had the high content of dietary fiber, Fe, Cu, Mg, K but low of...
The spraying with titanium is one of the agronomic practices used to stimulate the flowering, bearing of fruit and production of strawberry plants. The aim of the study was to assess the influence of titanium treatment (Ti4+-ascorbate) on L-ascorbic acid, total polyphenol, antioxidant activity, and phenolics profile of six strawberry fruit cultivars. The experiment was carried out on a commercial...
The effect of the four consecutive crop years including precipitation on the selected biological activities in the three cereal grains genus each two varieties Lama and Puma-wheat, Motto and Amilo-rye, Presto and Vero-triticale was the aim of this study. In the analysed cereals total protein content, extractable protein content, amylolytic activity and antiamylolytic and antitryptic activity against...
