Effects of ball milling on the structural, thermal, and rheological properties of oat bran protein flour

Abstract

Oat bran protein flour (OBPF), containing protein, starch, and lipid as major constituents, was ball milled and subsequently evaluated on structural conformation, thermal properties, particle size distributions, and rheological properties. Prior to ball milling, characterisation of OBPF were conducted by means of Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) showing the existence of aggregated protein and starch-lipid complexes as predominant constituents of OBPF. Ball milling altered structural conformations of both protein and starch. Moreover, increase of ball milling time gradually decreased the transition enthalpy changes of amylose-lipid complexes upon heating which can be related to disruption of amylose-lipid complexes helical structure. Ball milling at higher speed resulted to smaller average particle size distributions of OBPF. Dynamic mechanical spectra of concentrated dispersions containing ball milled OBPF exhibited lower storage (G') and loss (G") moduli compared to control sample due to reduced particles volume packing. Moduli-frequency sweep data satisfactory fitted the Power Law's model.

Sustaining Protein Nutrition Through Plant-Based Foods

“…The modification approaches for plant-based proteins help them to make multifunctional food products. The modification of proteins can be classified into physical (18,62,(69)(70)(71)(72)(73)(74)(75)(76)(77)(78)(79)(80)(81)(82), chemical (125)(126)(127)(128)(129)(130), biological (131,132), and other novel methods (133)(134)(135)(136)(137) as briefly described in Tables 1-3. The physical modification approaches include heat treatment (such as conventional thermal treatment, ohmic heating, microwave heating, radio frequency treatment, infrared irradiation), gamma irradiation, electron beam irradiation, ultraviolet radiation, pulsed-electric field, high-pressure treatment (such as high hydrostatic pressure, dynamic high-pressure fluidization), sonication, extrusion, ball mill treatment, cold atmospheric plasma processing, and ultrafiltration.…”

Physicochemical, Rheological, & Sensory Characteristics of Yogurt Fortified with Ball-Milled Roasted Chickpea Powder (Cicer arietinum L.)

“…In recent years, the food industry has focused its interest on leguminous crops and utilization of the legumes owing to the high protein contents and strong dietary recommendation of legumes by scientists and nutritionists worldwide (Soltani et al, 2018). Moreover, ball-milling has replaced traditional milling owing to particle size reduction benefits and the provision of fine powders without exerting any damage on the physicochemical properties of foods (Ramadhan & Foster, 2018). Among legumes, chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) is popular among conscious consumers and is used around the globe in the form of roasted snack products (Raza et al, 2019;Zhong et al, 2018).…”

Elaboração e qualidade microbiológica de biscoitos tipo cookies com adição da farinha de quinoa e aveia

“…No entanto, quando a ingestão de proteínas hidrolisadas ocorre de maneira correta na dieta, pode promover o controle do colesterol e na pressão arterial, além de desempenhar várias funções biológicas no organismo humano. A introdução de novos ingredientes com elevado teor de proteínas é uma tendência promissora e inovadora na indústria de alimentos, uma vez que pesquisas estão sendo desenvolvidas com a finalidade de viabilizar fontes agrícolas com potencial emergente, tais como a quinoa e a aveia, na fabricação de produtos de panificação, pois esses grãos possuem em sua composição química alta concentração proteica, além de outros nutrientes (Ramadhan & Foster, 2018).…”
