Effects of sugar, protein and water content on wheat starch gelatinization due to microwave heating

1999-01-01
Understanding the interactions between sugar, starch, protein and water, which are the main components of a baked product, will advance the development of high quality, microwaveable products. This paper presents a mathematical model describing the quantitative relationships between water, sugar and protein on the gelatinization of wheat starch following 20 s of microwave heat as determined by differential scanning calorimetry. Addition of sugar decreased the degree of gelatinization of starch due to microwave heating significantly. Water and protein were not found to be as significant as sugar in delaying gelatinization. The effects of sugar and protein on the gelatinization of starch were pronounced in water-limited systems. The model could be used to describe systems containing 33-67% water, 0-33% sucrose and 0-5.8% protein, with a coefficient of determination of 0.91.

Effects of different batter formulations on the quality of deep-fat-fried carrot slices
Akdeniz, N; Şahin, Serpil; Şümnü, Servet Gülüm (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2005-07-01)
The effects of batter coating containing pregelatinized tapioca starch or maltodextrin at different concentrations (1, 3 or 5%) on product quality of deep-fat-fried carrot slices were evaluated. Coated slices were fried for 2, 3 and 4 min at 170 degrees C. Coating pickup of batter formulations and moisture and oil contents, porosity, texture and colour of fried slices were determined. Batter without pregelatinized starch or maltodextrin addition was used as the control. Addition of 5% pregelatinized tapioca...
Effects of batters containing different protein types on the quality of deep-fat-fried chicken nuggets
Dogan, SF; Şahin, Serpil; Şümnü, Servet Gülüm (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2005-05-01)
The effects of soy protein isolate (SPI), whey protein isolate (WPI) and egg albumen ( EA) on the quality of deep-fat-fried chicken nuggets were studied. Batter without protein addition was used as a control. Batter pickup and moisture content, oil content, texture, porosity and colour of the nuggets were determined for 3, 6, 9 and 12 min of frying at 180 degrees C. Additionally, the rheological properties of batters were studied. SPI (3%) provided the highest apparent viscosity and coating pickup. All the ...
Functionality of batters containing different starch types for deep-fat frying of chicken nuggets
Altunakar, B; Şahin, Serpil; Şümnü, Servet Gülüm (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2004-03-01)
The effect of various starch types (amylomaize, corn, waxymaize, pregelatinized tapioca) on quality attributes (texture, moisture content, oil content, color, coating pick up, cooking yield, volume and porosity) of deep-fat fried chicken nuggets were studied. Chicken samples, 0.04 m in diameter and 0.015 m in thickness, taken from the breast portion, were coated with batters composed of a 3:5 solid to water ratio by immersion. The solid content of batter formulations contained equal amounts of corn and whea...
Production of bread crumbs by infrared-assisted microwave drying
Tireki, S; Şümnü, Servet Gülüm; Esin, A (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2006-01-01)
This study is aimed to investigate the possibility of using infrared-assisted microwave drying for production of bread crumbs and to determine drying conditions in halogen lamp-microwave combination oven to produce bread crumbs with the highest quality. Bread crumb dough were dried from about 40.9 to 8% moisture content by conventional, microwave, infrared and infrared-assisted microwave drying separately and in combinations. Halogen lamp and microwave power levels of 30, 50 and 70% were used. Percent reduc...
Effect of high hydrostatic pressure on background microflora and furan formation in fruit pur,e based baby foods
KULTUR, Gulcin; MISRA, N. N.; BARBA, Francisco J.; KOUBAA, Mohamed; GÖKMEN, VURAL; Alpas, Hami (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2018-03-01)
The baby foods industry is currently seeking technologies to pasteurize products without formation of processing contaminants such as furan. This work demonstrates the applicability of high hydrostatic pressure (HHP) as a non-thermal decontamination intervention for fruit pur,e based baby foods. HHP processing was evaluated at 200, 300, and 400 MPa pressures, for 5, 10 and 15 min of treatment times at 25, 35 and 45 A degrees C. HHP application at 400 MPa, 45 A degrees C for 15 min ensured complete inactivat...
