    Abstract Lupin seeds are rich in proteins, lipids and bioactive compounds, but before consumption must be debittered to remove toxic alkaloids. Traditionally, debittering is a water-intensive and protracted process, lasting up to six days. To develop a more efficient procedure, different washing solutions (0.5% and 1% NaCl or citric acid), with or without the use of ultrasound, were applied on Lupinus albus seeds and compared to two control methods, the first with water and the second with a sodium chloride solution. The sonication did not accelerate debittering, while the sodium chloride and citric acid solutions significantly shortened debittering time, reduced water consumption and decreased alkaloid content to commercial values (0.31–1.03 g/kg dry matter). Debittering with a 1% citric acid solution saved 88 h and 65 L water/kg dry lupin compared to the water control method, and 13 h and 31 L water/kg dry lupin compared to the salt solution control method. The electronic tongue grouped the experimental and commercial samples in well-defined clusters; bitter and umami tastes were the main factors, well correlated with alkaloid content. The proposed procedure, either with citric acid or sodium chloride, could be easily adopted by the industry to reduce time and costs of lupin debittering.

    Abstract The escalating interest in natural substitutes for polystyrene in packaging development has directed attention towards vegetable residues such as corn husk. The objective of this study is to engineer biodegradable trays via the thermoforming process using six different formulations of cassava starch and corn husk flour, each previously sieved with mesh sizes of 100 and 80, respectively. The trays were thermoformed at temperatures of 170 °C (lower side) and 200 °C (upper side), with a formation duration of two minutes. Physicochemical analyses of the trays reveal that increased concentrations of corn husk flour impart a shift in tray coloration from cream to a reddish-yellow hue. Parameters such as density (0.12–0.29 g/cm³), moisture content (5.65–9.94%), solubility (75.92–86.85%), water absorption (52.17–102.35%), and volatile solids (>65.34%) were evaluated. Concerning mechanical properties, increased concentrations of corn husk flour enhanced hardness (12.56–23.95 N), while fracturability ranged between 6.59 and 8.11 mm, tension from 0.012 to 0.024 MPa, and elongation from 0.53% to 1.52%. The blend of 85% cassava starch and 15% corn husk flour exhibited promising physical and mechanical properties for the formation of biodegradable trays. This formulation underwent further examination through X-ray diffraction analysis (XRD), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR), and Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM). Future investigations should explore the potential applications of these biodegradable trays, which could serve as packaging for fruits, vegetables, bakery products, and more.

    Abstract Chia and sesame oils are important sources of essential fatty acids; however, their ω‐3:ω‐6 proportions do not comply with nutritional recommendation. A feasible approach to improve the ratio is to blend different oils, but only after understanding physical and chemical changes of the new matrix. Objective of the investigation was to determine the physico‐chemical characteristics and the oxidative stability index (OSI), using the Rancimat method, of chia‐sesame oil blends. The four ω‐3:ω‐6 blends tested (1:4, 1:6, 1:8, and 1:10) were exposed to temperatures of 110, 120, and 130 °C. The OSI values of the mixtures varied between 6.24–8.08, 3.07–4.00, and 1.62–2.01 hours for each temperature, respectively. In addition, their mean activation energy, enthalpy, entropy, and Q₁₀ were 88.4 kJ/mol, 85.2 kJ/mol, −41.1 J/mol K, and 2.0. Finally, a shelf life prediction performed at 25 °C indicated stability times between 80 and 123 days. Therefore, combining chia and sesame oils produced blends with a good balance of essential fatty acids.

    Abstract Sacha inchi (Plukenetia volubilis) oil (SI) is appreciated for its nutritional and sensorial characteristics. The aim of this study was to evaluate SI changes during French fries deep-frying at 170 °C or 180 °C up to 119 and 50 min, respectively; commercial soybean oil (SO) was tested as control. SI had high α-linolenic acid (53.8%), linoleic acid (33.4%) and total tocopherols (2540.1 mg/kg). During frying tocopherol content, oil stability and antioxidant capacity (ABTS, DPPH) decreased following zero-order kinetics; γ-tocopherol showed the strongest decrease. Notwithstanding the high SI unsaturation and the commercial antioxidant (TBHQ) in SO, SI showed slightly higher or similar hydrolysis (free fatty acids and diacylglycerols), similar primary (K₂₃₂, oxidized-triacylglycerols) and lower secondary (K₂₆₈, triacylglycerol oligopolymers) oxidation. Because of the high tocopherol content, SI showed lower degradation than SO. Thus, SI is suitable for short-term deep-frying; additionally, it may enhance the nutritional value and the flavour of fried foods.

    Abstract The aim of this study was to compare the loss of chalarina vitamin C after applying four methods of dehydration: vacuum osmotic dehydration combined with convective drying, convective drying, osmotic dehydration combined with vacuum freeze-drying, and freeze-drying. The fresh chalarina was fitted into cubes of 1 cm; we determined the vitamin C content and other chemical properties of the pulp. The powders were characterized: vitamin C, moisture content, aw, density, angle of flow and compressibility. Fresh chalarina pulp has a vitamin C content of 29.75 mg/100g. Osmotic dehydration and vacuum reduced to 15.75 mg/100g this content; combined with convective drying is reached 9.31 mg/100g; if combined with freeze-drying is obtained 14.98 mg/100g. Applying convective drying was obtained only 7.05 mg of vitaminaC/100g chalarina powder, while by applying only freeze-drying was obtained 23.63 mg/100g. We conclude that the powder obtained by vacuum osmotic dehydration - convective drying has better physical and chemical characteristics of powders obtained with other methods of dehydration. DOI: 10.17268/sci.agropecu.2010.01.07
