Production of a high-nutritional-value functional food, the Update1 bread, with the supplementation of the wheat flour with high-protein-content raw food materials

Abstract

Abstract. During our research, we added extracted soya bean meal, egg-white powder, gluten, wheat sourdough, and bamboo fibre to wheat flour in order to increase the quantity of the essential amino acid and the biological value of the wheat protein, producing such a functional, health-protecting, health-preservative food product which is suitable to satisfy the essential amino acid requirements of humans, assuming normal nutrition. Furthermore, we could produce such a food, which, on Keywords and phrases: defatted soya bean meal, egg-white powder, gluten, supplementation, essential amino acids, biological value of protein, Maillard reaction, amino acid analysis, fortified bread with high essential amino acid content 36 Unauthenticated Download Date | 5/13/18 9:31 AM Production of a high-nutritional-value functional food . . . 37 the one hand, was suitable to confine or prevent the essential amino acid's malnutrition symptoms, while, on the other hand, when applied alone, to meet the consumers' needs. During our work, we determined the protein content and amino acid composition of the wheat flour, of the additives used in bread baking, and in the bread both baked with supplementation (Update1 bread) and without supplementation (normal bread), as well as the quantity of the Maillard reaction products (hydroxymethylfurfural). We calculated the biological value of the protein of different breads and evaluated the sensory characteristics of the produced functional food and the fortified bread, supplemented with high essential-amino-acid-containing additives.

Proximate and antioxidant activities of bio-preserved ogi flour with garlic and ginger

“…Quality protein maize (QPM) is nutritionally superior over the normal maize due to balanced amounts of essential amino acids, with a high content of lysine and tryptophan, and low content of leucine and isoleucine 8 . Quality protein maize contains the optimal amount of amino acids in protein intake when compared with the amino acid composition to egg protein 9 . Replacement of normal maize with quality protein maize (QPM) will impart better nutritional value to the consumers, due to its higher tryptophan (55%) and lysine (30%) content compared to normal maize.…”
