The aim of the present study was to produce healthy ice cream by partial replacement of fat with whey protein (WP), dietary fibers (oat (OT) and wheat germs (WG)) and modified starch (MS). Reduced fat ice cream (8% fat) was prepared as control. Healthy reduced fat ice cream was prepared by replacing 1% and 2% of fat with WP, OT, WG and MS. The fat replacement with OT and WG increased the fiber content of ice cream. In addition, ice cream from all treatments characterized by a significant great free radical scavenging activity when compared with control, especially when fat was replaced with WG, WP and OT, respectively. The sensory evaluation of ice cream revealed an enhancement of flavor when fat was replaced with 1% WP and OT and 2% WP (P < 0.05 vs. control). The modified starch treatments (1% and 2%) showed the highest viscosity followed by OT (2%) treatment (P < 0.05). In conclusion, these results showed that dietary fibers (OT & WG), WP and MS could be used to replace fat in ice cream and to give a healthy reduced fat ice cream with high fiber content and with high antioxidant activity.展开更多

Currently soybean hulls are primarily used as animal feeds. For value-added soybean hull utilization, 25% soybean hulls were substituted for amaranth or whole oat flour (WOF) in novel gluten-free cookies. Composition, nutritional values, water-holding capacities, correlation between properties, and pasting and rheological properties of soybean hulls, amaranth, and WOF were appraised in comparison to wheat flour. Water loss, cookie texture, and geometrical properties of the cookies were examined. The results disclosed that soybean hulls, amaranth and WOF contain higher protein content, minerals, fiber, special amino acids, and critical vitamins (C and K) than wheat flour. Considerably higher total amino acid content was found in soybean hulls (18.33%) than wheat flour (12.77%). Water-holding capacities increased by replacing amaranth and WOF with soybean hulls. Soybean hulls exhibited higher rheological elastic properties than amaranth, WOF and wheat flours. The soybean hulls utilized in amaranth or WOF cookies greatly improved their nutritional value, the water retention and moisture content along with acceptable physical properties when compared to wheat flour cookies. This study explored the feasibility and potential of utilizing soybean hulls with amaranth and WOF in gluten-free bakery products and other food applications.展开更多
