Blanching As A Treatment Process: Effect On Polyphenols And Antioxidant Capacity Of Cabbage, Nissreen Abu-Ghannam, Amit Jaiswal

Books/Book Chapters/ Proceedings

Cabbage is considered an excellent source ofpolyphenolswith substantial antioxidant properties associated with the alleviation of oxidative stress and the prevention of free-radical mediated diseases. Many cabbage varieties are typically blanched prior to consumption mainly to enhance associated sensory attributes. Conventional hot water (80-100°C) or steam blanching are the most industrially applied methods. Blanching causes adverse losses in the antioxidant capacity of cabbage with over 70% resultingwithin the first few minutes. Blanching time, water to cabbage ratio and cabbage variety are the main determinants of the extent of antioxidant losses. The effect of the blanching temperature is of a lesssignificance particularlywithin …

Discovery, The Student Journal of Dale Bumpers College of Agricultural, Food and Life Sciences

Conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) is an 18-carbon fatty acid with multiple health benefits, including anti-obesity and anti-carcinogenic properties. CLA-rich soy oil (CLARSO) can be produced through a heterogeneous catalysis process, and this oil was previously used to produce CLA-rich margarines and shortenings. The objective of this study was to produce CLA-rich chocolate pastes by replacing a portion of the fat with CLARSO and compare the rheological (flow), textural, and thermal properties of these pastes to controls made with either soy oil or traditional fats. CLARSO was used to prepare pastes. Rheology, firmness, and thermal behavior of the pastes were determined. …

Improving The Health Impacts Of Whole Grains Through Processing: Resistant Starch, Dietary Fiber Solubility, And Mineral Bioaccessibility, Jennifer A. Arcila Castillo

Department of Food Science and Technology: Dissertations, Theses, and Student Research

Whole grains are good sources of starch, dietary fiber, and mineral elements. Starch is an important source of energy but also can be transformed to resistant starch to impart lower caloric value and increase total dietary fiber. Dietary fibers impart physiological benefits to human body once they are fermented by the gut microbiota. Mineral elements are important co-factors of a wide range of enzymes involved for instance in glucose and lipid metabolism. In general human body is capable of absorbing only 21-28% of most mineral elements, and gut bacteria are only able to ferment 34% of the dietary fiber from …
