Nutritional, Functional, and Anti‐Hypercholesterolemic Properties of Sourdough Breads From Unripe Plantain, Tiger Nut, and Fenugreek Flours

Food Chemistry International, EarlyView.
Composite sourdough breads were developed from blends of unripe plantain, tiger nut, and fenugreek flours. Optimized formulations improved pasting stability and enhanced texture, producing softer more elastic crumbs. The enriched breads contained higher dietary fiber and bioactive compounds, and significantly reduced serum cholesterol markers ...

Comparison of physicochemical, rheological, and digestibility properties of starch isolated from plantain (Musa paradisiaca) using different methods

Food Biomacromolecules, EarlyView.
Abstract The present work aimed to evaluate the effect of different isolation methods (distilled water, sodium hydroxide, and potassium metabisulfite) on the properties of plantain starch and compared with flour. It was hypothesized that chemical steeping enhanced yield, techno‐functional properties, and resistant starch without disrupting native ...

Valorizing lemon pomace in bread: Consumer acceptance of fermented and pre‐gelatinized Cardaba banana flour formulations

Food Biomacromolecules, EarlyView.
Abstract Whereas gluten‐free bread production often relies on starch‐heavy formulations, this study introduces a novel approach by leveraging the synergistic effects of fermented/pre‐gelatinized Cardaba banana, pigeon pea, and lemon pomace—an underutilized agro‐industrial byproduct.

Food quality profile of fermented cassava dough: A tool for the value chain upgrading

JSFA reports, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Agbelima is a fermented cassava mash, which is then cooked into dough. The key quality attributes are color, odor, stretchability, and sour taste. To succeed in upgrading agbelima value chain, there is a need to determine the instrumental parameters that predict the quality of consumer‐preferred attributes of the final product. This

Phytochemical studies of wheat-plantain composite flours enriched with velvet beans flours

Research Journal of Food Science and Nutrition
Wheat, which is an expensive grain, is not adequate to meet the nutritional requirements of the end users. Hence, enrichment of wheat with easily affordable underutilized legumes and fruits that have superior nutritional value is a good approach to producing functional foods and this is also a good way to reduce the cost of wheat importation. Therefore,
