  • Comparative Study on the Physico-Chemical, Textural and Thermal Properties of Instant Porridges Based on Spelt and Oats Introduc
    DOI: 10.5937/FFR1801027S UDK 641.56:633.11+633.13]:66.022.392 Original research paper COMPARATIVE STUDY ON THE PHYSICO-CHEMICAL, TEXTURAL AND THERMAL PROPERTIES OF INSTANT PORRIDGES BASED ON SPELT AND OATS Olivera D. Šimurina*, Bojana V. Filipčev, Boško D. Marić, Biljana R. Cvetković, Marija I. Bodroža Solarov University of Novi Sad, Institute of Food Technology, 21000 Novi Sad, Bulevar cara Lazara 1, Serbia *Corresponding author: Phone: +381 21 485 3778 E-mail address: [email protected] ABSTRACT: Changing of food habits and increased preference for healthy meals, along with the growth of breakfast industry has increased the size of “ready-made“ and instant porridge market in Serbia. Porridges dominantly marketed are those based on oats. However, there is a growing interest of local producers to use other cereals for porridge production. Therefore, this work was aimed to estimate the porridge-making ability of spelt wheat (Triticum aestivum spp. spelta) in comparison to that of oats. The studied porridges are instant products, based on extruded spelt or oat flour. The proximate composition, hydration properties (water absorption index-WAI and water solubility index- WSI), consistency and thermal properties were determined with the aim to compare the characteristics of the porridges. In general, the spelt-based porridge had more total and insoluble fibреs, proteins, minerals and less available carbohydrates in comparison to the oat porridge. The spelt porridge may be eligible to bear the nutritional claim „high-fibre“ which is advantageous for the market viability of the product. Both porridges had >20% of damaged starch due to high initial content in the flours and extrusion processing of flours, though spelt-based extrudate and porridge were significantly higher in this parameter.

Lima and Susan Wrublewski (collectively, “Plaintiffs”) bring suit on behalf of themselves and all persons similarly situated who purchased one or more varieties of a breakfast cereal known as “Honey Bunches of Oats,” a consumer product manufactured and marketed by Defendant. By making false, deceptive, and misleading representations, and by omitting material information, Defendant’s branding and packaging of these cereals convey that honey is the primary sweetener, or at the very least is a significant sweetener. In truth, however, the cereals are sweetened primarily with sugar, corn syrup, and other refined substances, and contain only miniscule amounts of honey. Plaintiffs and all members were harmed by paying more to purchase the cereals than they would have been willing to pay had their honey content not been misrepresented by Defendant. 1 Case 1:18-cv-12100-ADB Document 25 Filed 02/08/19 Page 2 of 30 PARTIES 1.

  • Why Cereal Is NOT Your Best Breakfast Bet by Donna Gates for Bodyecology.Com
    Why Cereal is NOT Your Best Breakfast Bet by Donna Gates for BodyEcology.com A recent study, sponsored by General Mills, a leader in the US ready-made cereal industry, found that (surprise!) “Eating cereal at breakfast time can help people manage their weight and eat more healthily throughout the rest of the day.” [1] The study further suggested that eating cereal at breakfast increased the consumption of fiber and milk, while reducing the consumption of meat, eggs, bread and fatty foods. What’s so interesting about this study is the company who sponsored it: General Mills. Scientific studies have been scrutinized for many years for conflicts of interest from companies that sponsor the studies. In 2003, the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) scrutinized the field of biomedical research, finding “a statistically significant association between industry sponsorship and pro-industry conclusions.”[2] In a 2004 review The Canadian Medical association also found that industry-sponsored studies swayed study results.[3] And the debate continues today... The thing is, that headlines often make people believe what the study is saying. In this particular case, I definitely don’t agree that refined, extruded cereal is the key to optimal weight and health. Here’s why... Why Breakfast Cereal is NOT the Key to Optimal Weight and Health Before deciding whether to eat breakfast cereal or not, it’s import to know some key cereal nutrition facts that most companies won’t tell you: 1. Breakfast cereals go through an extrusion process . This manufacturing procedure that makes all the o's, flakes, biscuits, and other shapes of cold cereals actually destroys the fatty acids and vitamins in grains.
