This was carried out in order to exploit the nutritional and aesthetic value of cocoyam （Colocasia escullenta Vat.） to improve the overall quality of the Pringles as against its production from potato and wheat composite flour. Composite flour （100%：0%, 90%：10%, 80%：20%, 70%：30%, 60%：40% and 50%：50%） of cocoyam and wheat respectively as the major raw materials were adopted and used for the production of the Pringles. Physicochemical analysis （pH, water absorption capacity （WAC）, bulk density （BD） and swelling capacity （SC））; proximate analysis （protein, fats, ash, moisture and carbohydrate content） and sensory evaluation （colour, texture, taste and overall acceptability） were carried out on the samples produced using standard methods. Physicochemical analysis showed the pH of 5.48 to 6.61, WAC （12.00 to 17.50）, BD （1.43 to 1.56） and SW （1.03 to 1.38）. However, sample with 10% cocoyam and 90% wheat composite flour gave the best physicochemical properties of pH （5.98）, WAC （14.00）, BD （1.56） and SC （1.38）. The proximate analysis showed that carbohydrate content ranging between 53.36 to 61.12, and protein content （8.17 to 12.29）, fat content （16.67 to 23.97）, ash content （3.49 to 45.53）, fiber content （1.71 to 2.83） and moisture content （8.76 to 14.54）. Sample B equally gave the nutrient proximate combination of appreciable percentage on the average. The result of the sensory evaluation showed that there is no significant difference between the samples produced in terms of aroma. There is a significant different between samples A, B and the remaining samples in terms of colour and taste. On the overall acceptability, samples A, C and D showed no significant difference but the highest mean score was found with sample B. Conclusively, acceptable snack （Pringles） can be produced from cocoyam and wheat in ratio 90%： 10%, respectively.展开更多

The HPLC method was applied for the first time in India to estimate the digestible carbohydrates such as sugars and starches in different branded rice, legumes and vegetable samples which were procured from local market of twin cities of Hyderabad and Secunderabad in Andhra Pradesh State, India. In the present study, we estimated carbohydrates in vitro, mimicking the in vivo condition by incorporating enzymatic digestion. Among the rice varieties the analyzed total soluble sugars were in the range of 5.69% to 9.62%, vegetables 0.0% to 3.72% and legumes 0.04% to 0.98%. Soluble starches in rice samples ranged from 12.51% to 17.64%, in vegetables from 1.73% to 7.28% and in legumes from 23.76% to 38.71%. Insoluble starches in rice samples were observed to be bracketed in between 52.53% to 60.43%, where as in vegetables from 0.58% to 8.83% and in legumes from 16.13% to 29.22%. Concluding our observation, the total amount of starches and total sugars in rice fell in between 74.32% to 80.75%, in vegetables from 1.74% to 16.11%, and in legumes from 39.93% to 68.91%.展开更多
