[Rheological characteristics of tropical fruit products].

Archivos latinoamericanos de nutricion, 1982
The rheological behavior of three commercially processed baby foods and four purees made from different tropical fruits was studied, utilizing a coaxial-cylinder viscometer at three temperature levels (20 degrees C, 40 degrees C and 60 degrees C). An analysis of variance was applied to the sample exhibiting more variability between tests, which, having

Effect of Fruit Maturation Stage on the Chemical Composition and Antioxidant and Cytotoxic Activities of Piper nigrum Essential Oil

Flavour and Fragrance Journal, EarlyView.
The essential oils of Piper nigrum show marked chemical and biological variation across fruit maturation stages. Ripe fruits yield oils with the strongest antioxidant and cytotoxic activities, demonstrating that maturation directly modulates volatile composition and enhances the bioactive potential of this aromatic species.

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.
