Evaluation of the crispness of porous foods using the acoustic emission technique

The acoustic emission (AE) technique was used to develop a method for the objective evaluation of the crispness of porous foods. The crispness of six types of commercial porous foods was changed by controlling their moisture contents at six levels by varying the humidity (i.e., dry, 22, 43, 56, 68, and 81 % relative humidity) of the storage environment at 25oC. As the crispness of a sample with high water activity (aw) was expected to deteriorate, the physicochemical, mechanical, and acoustic characteristics of aw-controlled food samples were evaluated. The aw had no influence on the shape and porous structure of the foods. However, the number of force peaks in the uniaxial compression test appeared to be related to their aw. Moreover, the breaking characteristics of a sample at different aw values changed depending on the porous food type classified according to the degree of starch gelatinization. Among the AE characteristics, the number of AE events and AE count corresponded well with the aw of the porous food. Therefore, for an objective evaluation of the crispness of porous foods, the AE events and AE count, which are highly sensitive, can be suitable indicators, rather than the number of force peaks.

Barley use as flour is attracting interest. However, the factors affecting barley batter and dough heologicalproperties related to the water adding ratio adjustment are unclear. To promote the development of barley flour products, we aimed to clarify the factors that influence the rheological properties. This study focused on particle properties, including not only particle size and its distribution, but also damaged starch and void fraction. Three barley flour samples of different particle properties were ground by a hammer mill using different nominal screen opening sizes mounted on the mill. The effect of the particle properties differed by water addition ratios,
occurring on the batter (water addition of 200%–300%), but not the dough (water addition of 100%–150%). The
particle size is suspected to affect batter rheological properties by regression analysis. Accordingly, β-glucan was eluted in the barley batter dispersion medium: its elution amount and the dispersion medium viscosity were different depending on the particle size, that is, the specific surface area by comparing the dispersion medium and the fluorescence observation of β-glucan in the barley batter. Based on the abovementioned observations, particle size and associated β-glucan elution difference was the factor suggested to affect barley batter rheological properties: smaller particle sizes increased the eluted β-glucan concentration and the yield stress and
dynamic viscoelasticity were increased. A dispersed particle state model was created using the results. -

Heat sterilizing method for food powder, such as buckwheat flour was investigated in this study. We utilized low oxygen gas heating sterilizer to extend a quality holding period of raw buckwheat noodle. The instrument had closed circuit flow, then high temperature low oxygen gas (N2 and water vapor gas) was circulated as a heating medium. Buckwheat flour was sterilized by low oxygen gas in a short period without quality deterioration. Open circuit flow and high temperature air sterilization was also carried out as a conventional method. Low oxygen gas heating treatment could significantly reduce bacterial counts, although some characteristics (moisture content, color and flavor etc.) were changed by the treatment. However, these qualities were rather kept well than hot-air treatment. We prepared raw buckwheat noodle from the low oxygen gas sterilized buckwheat flour, and quality holding period test was investigated. Bacterial count of buckwheat noodle showed a lower value than its prescribed reference value at 10 days' period. In addition, low oxygen gas sterilizing had little effects for some scientific characteristics (moisture content, water activity, flavor, color and food texture) and sensory evaluation of a buckwheat noodle.

Yoghurts were prepared from non-fat milk powder, sucrose, water and tapioca starch acetates (TSA-1, TSA-2, TSA-3), tapioca distarch phosphates (TDP-1, TDP-2, TDP-3) or native tapioca starch at 1% (w/w). Syneresis, particle size distribution and viscoelastic properties of the yoghurts were determined, and flow behaviour was described using the Herschel–Bulkley model. Furthermore, interactions between milk proteins and modified starches attributed to protein surface hydrophobicity were characterized. Results showed that yoghurts with starch acetates exhibited higher yield stress, consistency coefficient (K) values, hysteresis loop area, storage modulus (G′) and loss modulus (G″). Protein surface hydrophobicity was significantly influenced by the addition of starch acetates, and TSA-3 yoghurt exhibited the lowest values. This study concluded that the addition of TSA-3 starch showed better results in terms of the rheological properties of non-fat yoghurt.

A high sodium (Na) intake and low potassium (K) intake are factors affecting hypertension in Japan. Thirty-three residents took part in a randomized, controlled crossover trial. The purpose was to evaluate the effects of use of lightly potassium-enriched condiments (low Na/K condiments; 25% less Na and 20% higher K) on the urinary Na/K ratio, which is related to the dietary Na/K ratio. One week after the baseline measurements (run-in period), the participants were assigned to either a low Na/K condiments group or a standard condiments group for 2 weeks (experiment period 1). The conditions were then reversed for the next 2 weeks (experiment period 2). The participants were requested to use the given low Na/K or standard condiments during the designated periods at their home as usual instead of their own condiments. Casual urine measurements were taken over seven consecutive days in each run-in period during experiment periods 1 and 2. The average urinary Na/K ratios (mol/mol, mean±SD)
