Effect Of Addition Amounts Of Salted Egg White On The Quality Of Fresh Wet Mung Bean Noodles, Tian Caiyun, Chen Lei, Huang Qun, Li Wenjun

Food and Machinery

[Objective] To explore the effect of different addition amounts of salted egg white on the quality and sensory characteristics of noodles, thereby utilizing the rich protein resource in salted egg white. [Methods] Noodles are prepared by incorporating salted egg white at levels of 0, 10%, 20%, 30%, and 40% (w/w, based on flour weight). Then, the noodles are evaluated by protein content, color, rheological properties, texture properties, broken rate, and sensory characteristics. [Results] Salted egg white addition significantly increases the system's protein content. At 20% addition, noodles exhibit optimal comprehensive quality: lowest cooking broken rate (6.7%), best textural properties (hardness, …

Effects Of The Rotor Screw Edge Angle Of Twin-Screw Extruder On The Extrusion Process Of Polylactic Acid, Sun Chenhao, Wang Xilin, Wu Yuntao, Huang Zhigang

Food and Machinery

[Objective] To investigate the effects of the flight edge angle at the end face of the screw rotor in a counter-rotating twin-screw extruder on the extrusion performance of polylactic acid (PLA). [Methods] Experimental screws with flight edge angles of 70° and 80° were compared with a standard screw (90° flight edge angle) as the control. Mesh generation of the screw elements was conducted using Gambit software, followed by numerical simulations in Polyflow to compare the differences in pressure fields and shear rates within the flow channels of the three screws. The residence time and distribution of tracer particles were obtained …

Structural Characterization, Antioxidant Activity, And Hypoglycemic Effects Of Plantago Seed Polysaccharides, Liu Donglai, Wang Peng, Peng Xinyu, Sha Yixuan, Yin Xingfu

Food and Machinery

[Objective] To investigate the structural characteristics, in vitro antioxidant activity, and hypoglycemic effects of Plantago seed polysaccharides (PSP) on type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) rats. [Methods] The structure of PSP is analyzed via ultraviolet (UV) spectroscopy, high-performance gel permeation chromatography (HPGPC), and ion chromatography (IC). Antioxidant activity is assessed by DPPH, ABTS, and hydroxyl free radical scavenging rates. Then, a T2DM rat model is established using streptozotocin (STZ) to assess the effects of PSP on fasting blood glucose (FBG), blood lipids, and oxidative stress markers. [Results] In an amorphous structure, PSP has a molecular weight of 1. 42×104, primarily composed …
