To develop a convenient healthy food snack, partially hydrogenated vegetable fat, used as the flavor fixative agent, was replaced by a non-fat-flavoring solution that was enriched with inulin and oligofructose.

Scientists assessed the effects of this replacement on the new snack's chemical composition, the in vitro rate of starch digestion and its sensory...]]>Tue, 1 Dec 2009 00:00:00 http://www.thefreelibrary.com/Associate+yellow+color+and+carotenoid+content+in+wheat+grain%2c+flour...-a0214623251
Carotenoids are organic pigments that naturally occur in the chloroplasts and chromoplasts of plants and some other organisms, such as algae, some types of fungus and some bacteria. The yellow color found in wheat flour and its various end products can be attributed largely to carotenoids.

Scientists at Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada and colleagues elsewhere established a...]]>Tue, 1 Dec 2009 00:00:00 http://www.thefreelibrary.com/Nitrogen+headspace+needed+to+determine+sulfur+volatiles+in+grapefruit...-a0214623250
Sulfur volatiles are extremely important to the aroma of grapefruit juice. A few studies have indicated that there are different volatile sulfur compounds in grapefruit juice. However, it doesn't appear that comprehensive research into these highly reactive and sensory-potent compounds has been undertaken to date.

The objectives of researchers at the University of...]]>Tue, 1 Dec 2009 00:00:00 http://www.thefreelibrary.com/Purple+pepper+plants+are+key+source+of+anthocyanins.-a0214623249
The foliage of the purple pepper cultivar Capsicum annuum L. is extremely rich in a delphinidin derivative anthocyanin (ACN), with a concentration seven times greater than the fruit itself. This plant contains one major ACN, while most fruits and vegetables contain a multiple number of major anthocyanins.

ACNs are odorless and nearly flavorless, and contribute to taste...]]>Tue, 1 Dec 2009 00:00:00 http://www.thefreelibrary.com/Organic+acids+reduce+water-holding+capacity+of+restructured+silver...-a0214623248
Silver carp, a freshwater fish, is considered an invasive species in the Midwestern United States, having low economic value itself but providing raw material for making value-added products. The silver carp is a species of freshwater cyprinid fish, a variety of Asian carp native to north and northeast Asia. Pound for pound, more silver carp are produced worldwide in...]]>Tue, 1 Dec 2009 00:00:00 http://www.thefreelibrary.com/Type+of+phosphate+impacts+quality+of+vacuum-tumbled+catfish+fillets.-a0214623247
Phosphates have been utilized in processing pork and poultry to enhance tenderness and water-holding capacity. But little research has been reported pertaining to their functionality in catfish fillets.

So scientists at Mississippi State University set out to determine how different phosphates, which differ in the length of their chains and their pH, would impact the...]]>Tue, 1 Dec 2009 00:00:00 http://www.thefreelibrary.com/Water-soluble+whey+protein+isolate+pouches+have+potential+for...-a0214623246
Whey protein isolate (WPI) films can be used as a barrier to improve a product's quality and shelf life. These types of films also can simplify packaging systems and make them more recyclable.

For the most part, there hasn't been extensive research performed on edible WPI pouches that would be used on pre-weighed dry food ingredients. These pouches would be convenient for...]]>
