Effects of Salt, Soy Protein Isolate and Gums on the Properties A Title: Development of Healthy Chicken Nuggets with Konjac Flour, Shiitake Mushroom and Quinoa Researcher: Assoc.Prof. Adisak Akesowan Department of Food Science and Technology School of Science and Technology University of the Thai Chamber of Commerce Year of Accomplishment: 2015 No. of Pages: 85 Pages Keywords: Konjac flour, Shiitake mushroom, Quinoa, Chicken nugget, Health food. Abstract This research was aimed to develop a healthy chicken nugget which targeted to lower in fat, free from phosphate and reduce in meat protein content. Initially, the performance of two variables, i.e. konjac/xanthan (3:1) blend (0.2-1.5%, w/w) and shiitake powder (1-4%, w/w) for optimizing a best formulation of low-fat, phosphate-free nuggets was studied. A 13-experimental run was carried out by a central composite rotatable design, and the influence of variables on physical properties (peak force and internal color) and sensory characteristics of nuggets was investigated. Linear, quadratic and interaction effect of variables were found for physical and sensory responses. Addition of konjac/xanthan blend and shiitake powder, both at low level, resulted in increasing nugget peak force; however, higher amount of these variables lowered the peak force. The nugget became darker with more shiitake powder added. With 1.8-3% addition of shiitake powder, low-fat, nuggets presented good sensory acceptance, as observed for a rise in score for color, taste, flavor and overall acceptability. The optimal condition for the low-fat, The research was financially supported by the University of the Thai Chamber of Commerce. B phosphate-free nugget consisted of 0.39% konjac/xanthan blend and 1.84% shiitake powder. Secondly, the study purposed to investigate an appropriate condition for replacing chicken meat with cooked quinoa seed in a recommended low-fat, phosphate-free nugget. The quinoa replacement was designed to 0, 10, 20, 30 and 40% by chicken meat weight. The obtained results showed that an increase in quinoa replacement resulted in significant decreases (p<0.05) in yield, moisture content and higher total fluid release. The nugget was darker with increasing level of quinoa. A 20% quinoa replacement was appeared to markedly improve the nugget in terms of hardness and chewiness. Nevertheless, the nugget with 30% quinoa had all textural characteristics such as hardness, cohesiveness, springiness and chewiness equivalent to the control sample (no quinoa). On a 9-point hedonic scale, an increase in panelists’ scores for sensory attributes was evident in nuggets with increasing amounts of quinoa 10 up to the 30% level. The nugget with 30% quinoa had significantly (p<0.05) better sensorial characteristics than the control sample. This product also provides a dietary fiber content approximately 7.6-fold higher that found in 100% fat standard nugget. The last study was to evaluate the storage stability and the sensory acceptance of three formulations; a standard nugget and two low-fat, phosphate-free nuggets, one with no quinoa and another with 30% quinoa. After a period of 75 days of storage at -18 ºC, the results revealed decreases in moisture content and internal lightness (L*) and redness (a*), while TBA (thiobarbituric acid) development was slightly changed in all nugget formulations. The products had obviously lowered hardness, whereas cohesiveness, springiness and chewiness had slightly changed or fluctuated in narrow range. The nuggets were microbiologically safe during storage and also well accepted for all sensory attributes.

This is because of consumer awareness regarding preventing or avoiding the risks of fat-related diseases including cardiovascular disease, diabetes, obesity, hypertension and certain cancers (Ozvural and Vural, 2008). Low-fat meat products have been investigated for their reductions in particular unhealthy ingredients such as animal fat, salt and phosphates (Mahmoud and Badr, 2011). In the manufacture of low-fat meat products, water, non-meat ingredients, hydrocolloids or gums and dietary fibers are used as fat replacers (Choi et al., 2008). Hydrocolloids such as carrageenan, konjac, xanthan and locust bean gum have contributed as fat replacers because of their very low caloric content, inexpensive cost and versatile applications as they can be added directly or prepared as fat analogues. Among these gums, konjac flour, a water soluble and non-ionic flour is of interest for applications in the food industry. The flour has been extensively used as an additive for gelling, thickening, texturizing and binding in various food products (Thomas, 1997).

Konjac Flour is a high molecular weight, nonionic glucomannan primarily consisting of mannose and glucose at a respective molar ratio of approximately 1.6:1.0. It is a slightly branched polysaccharide connected by b-1,4 linkages and has an average molecular weight of 200,000 to 2,000,000 daltons. Acetyl groups along the glucomannan backbone contribute to solubility properties and are located, on average, every 9 to 19 sugar units. The typical powder is cream to light tan in color. Konjac Flour is dispersible in hot or cold water and forms a highly viscous solution with a pH between 4.0 and 7.0. Solubility is increased by heat and mechanical agitation. Addition of mild alkali to the solution results in the formation of a heat-stable gel that resists melting, even under extended heating conditions. Functional Use in Foods Gelling agent; thickener; film former; emulsifier; stabilizer. REQUIREMENTS Identification A. Microscopic Test Stain about 0.1 g of the sample with 0.01% methylene blue powder in 50% isopropyl alcohol, and observe microscopically.

Follett and J. A. Douglas New Zealand Institute for Crop and Food Research Ltd, Ruakura Research Institute, Hamilton, New Zealand INTRODUCTION The 1996 census identifi ed New Zealand as a country with a wide ethnic mix with peoples from Europe, the Pacifi c Islands, and Asia (Anon 2000). The Asian popula- tion, which is approximately 5% of New Zealand’s total of just over 4 million, is giv- ing the people as a whole an increasing awareness of Asian cuisine and Japanese food styles in particular. For example in Hamilton, New Zealand’s largest inland city of 120,000 people, the number of Japanese restaurants has increased by 80% in the last 10 years. The increase in popularity of Japanese cuisine in New Zealand has resulted in a growing awareness and demand for the produce associated with that food style. At present many of the specialty food items such as wasabi and myoga ginger are imported as a processed product but as demand grows so too does the requirement for fresh rather than processed product. This has tied in well with Crop & Food Research’s new crops programme which has evaluated a range of specialist vegetables, well known in Japan as specialist vegetables and spices but relatively unknown in New Zealand, in a market-led ap- proach to new crop research (Douglas, 1992a; Douglas, 1992b) with many of the crops evaluated being suited to production for supply to Japan during the Japanese off-season.

The apparent viscosity, rheological properties during heating and cooling, thermodynamic properties, gelation properties and water holding capacity of KGM/CUD blend systems in an alkaline environment were studied using physical property testing instruments and methods. The results showed that the viscosity of the KGM/CUD blended solution was greater than the value calculated from the ideal mixing rules in the condition of alkaline (pH = 10.58).
