  • Effect of Alkaline Soaking and Cooking on the Proximate, Functional and Some Anti-Nutritional Properties of Sorghum Flour
    AU J.T. 14(3): 210-216 (Jan. 2011) Effect of Alkaline Soaking and Cooking on the Proximate, Functional and Some Anti-Nutritional Properties of Sorghum Flour Ocheme Ocheme Boniface and Mikailu Esther Gladys Food Science and Nutrition Department, Federal University of Technology Minna, Nigeria E-mail: <[email protected]; [email protected]> Abstract The effect of nixtamalization on the functional, proximate, and anti-nutritional properties of sorghum flour was studied. Flour samples were produced from soaked sorghum grains and cooked sorghum grains. A portion of sorghum grains were soaked in water and 1% lime solution for 24 hours and some were cooked for 30 minutes in both water and 1% lime solution. At the end of soaking and cooking, the grains were sundried; milled; sieved with a 0.25 mesh screen; and packaged. Alkaline cooking of sorghum resulted in flour with significantly higher protein; water and oil absorption capacity; pH; hygroscopicity; phytate and trypsin inhibitor and significantly lower ash; tannins and cyanide content than flours from untreated and water treated sorghums, while alkaline soaking resulted in flour with significantly higher carbohydrate; water and oil absorption capacity; and pH and significantly lower packed bulk density and hydrogen cyanide than flours from untreated and water treated sorghum. Keywords: Nixtamalization, functional properties, anti-nutritional properties, soaking, cooking. Introduction Unleavened bread (tortilla) is a common food in central and South America produced from Nixtamalization refers to a process of sorghum cooked in lime solution (Asiedu preparing maize (corn) in which the grain is 1989). In nixtamalization, dried cereal grains cooked and soaked in alkaline solution, usually are cooked in an alkaline solution at or near its lime solution, and then dehulled (Ocheme et al.

In both types of maize, fractionation. Tortillas made from quality protein maize (QPM) had a albumins, globulins, zeins, and glutelinlike components became insoluble superior amino acid score mainly because of their very high lysine and after interacting with other biochemical entities catalyzed by the alkaline tryptophan content, which was not significantly affected during tortilla pH and the heat produced in tortilla-making. Increased nitrogen recovery preparation. The superiority of the product obtained with the QPM sample with solvents having alkaline pH, a reducing agent, and sodium dodecyl was demonstrated by its high content of available lysine. Although the in sulfate indicate that hydrophobic interactions may have been involved in vitro digestibility of protein with pepsin and the amount of availablelysine this change in solubility of proteins that are more easily solubilized in the changed during tortilla-making, no evidence was found of a specific unprocessed maize grain.

  • Nixtamalization Was Developed in Ancient Mesoamerica Sometime Before 1200BCE
    History The process of nixtamalization was developed in ancient mesoamerica sometime before 1200BCE. As corn cultivation spread from mesoamerica the technology of nixtamalization spread with it. Different tribes and cultures used and continue to use different materials and details in the overall process. While European colonizers in the north adopted the cultivation of corn, they didn't widely adopt the process of nixtamalization, this has contributed to several historical outbreaks of pellagra, a nutrient deficiency disease caused by the lack of niacin. The word nixtamalization comes from the Nahuatl (Aztec) word nixtamalli, a compound word comprised of the words for ashes and unformed corn dough. Benefits Nixtamalization has several benefits: • Changes texture of corn dough, allowing a suitable texture for tortillas (compare the texture of corn bread to tortillas) • Changes and enhances flavor and aroma • Depending on the alkali used, adds significant amounts of calcium or potassium, as well as other potential minerals in smaller amounts. • Converts niacytin to bio-available niacin (vitamin B3) • Destroys toxins produced by molds that commonly effect drying corn Equipment: Essential: • Non-reactive Pot (stainless steel or glass) • Some form of strainer, ideally with larger holes. A over-the-sink strainer made from 1/4" mesh seems to be ideal. • Some way to grind the corn, if desired. A purpose built grinder can be ordered for around $20 on eBay (search for corn grinder) or from www.westonsupply.com, but you can also get decent results from a food processor or blender. • Frying pan, ideally cast iron, if you want to make tortillas. Optional: • Tortilla press, balls of tortilla dough can be rolled out with a rolling pin, or squished under a flat bottom casserole dish, but a tortilla press makes them quicker and easier.

  • Effect of Nixtamalization on Mycotoxin-Contaminated Corn
    NebGuide Nebraska Extension Research-Based Information That You Can Use G2329· Index: Food Science & Technology Issued January 2021 Effect of Nixtamalization on Mycotoxin- Contaminated Corn José Rodrigo Mendoza, Post-doctoral Research Associate Andréia Bianchini, Associate Professor Corn (Zea mays) is a staple food in Mexico and both Central and South America with rapid growth in con- sumption in Europe and the United States (2, 10). This agricultural commodity is prone to fungal damage due to inadequate pre- and post- harvest handling practices, which can lead to a reduction of yield and quality. More- over, the presence of certain molds is often accompanied by mycotoxin contamination, compromising the safety of corn.

  • Effect of Enzymes on Tortillas )
    Bakery Enzymes in Tortilla Applications ( Effect of Enzymes on Tortillas ) BY: Shima Agah, Ph.D Allied Blending LP R&D Food Scientist September 6th, 2018 Amsterdam Holland Tortillas • Tortillas have become very popular baked products world wide. • Because of versatility, functionally, and convenience as wraps. • The low cost of tortillas, ease of preparation and range of options for customers are key drivers for strong industry. • Customers prefer tortillas that are flexible, opaque, large and have long shelf life. • Stale tortillas are firm and crack when folded. Thus, becoming unacceptable for customers. • Functional Ingredients and additives such as enzymes are added to tortilla formulation to provide desirable attributes. (Jondiko et al., 2016 & Tuncil, et al., 2016) •Enzymes • Naturally occurring components from plant, animal and microbial origins. • They are specific, efficient and biodegradable and have unique 3-D shapes. • Within the three dimensional structure are cavities that fit lock and key with a substrate molecule - another protein, fat or carbohydrate. • The perfect match between the enzyme and substrate will result in a specific chemical reaction to occur to the substrate molecule. (Panesar et al., 2010 & Illanes, A., 2008) •Enzymes (Panesar et al., 2010., Arora, S., 2003 & Illanes, A., 2008) •Factors Affecting Enzyme Activity Presence of different molecules: pH Inhibitors Stabilizers Temperature Oxygen Water Activity Ionic Strength Enzyme Dosage (Panesar et al., 2010., Arora, S., 2003 & Illanes, A., 2008) •Enzymes in Bakery Products • Wheat flour is the primary ingredient. • Flour is mainly composed of starch and protein. • Baking enzymes are used to alter starch and protein properties. • Alter flour behavior in mixing. • Improve dough fermentation, handling, machinability properties.
