Ready-to-eat snacks are very popular. However, they have a high glycemic index and lack proteins & micronutrients. This study prepared protein-enriched corn extrudates by adding chickpea grit supplements at varying concentrations (0-100 g kg).
The protein contents of 100 g kg supplemented extrudates increased by 66.66% and dietary fiber contents increased by 48.02% in comparison with the control. Bulk density increased by 1.46 times. However, the expansion ratio, porosity, and water absorption index decreased significantly (P < 0.05). The health-promoting characteristics of the extrudates increased in comparison with the control sample, i.e., total phenolic content increasing by 17.84%, 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl radical (DPPH) contents by 11.38%, and 2,2-azinobis-3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid (ABTS) content by 9.59%. Likewise, the potassium contents increased by 24.63% with the inclusion of 10% chickpea in corn extrudates. Sensory evaluation revealed that corn extrudates with up to 60 g kg added chickpea achieved the highest acceptability among panelists.

即食零食非常受欢迎。然而,它们的血糖生成指数很高,且缺乏蛋白质和微量营养素。本研究通过添加不同浓度(0 - 100 g/kg)的鹰嘴豆粉来制备富含蛋白质的玉米挤压膨化食品。
与对照组相比,添加100 g/kg鹰嘴豆粉的挤压膨化食品蛋白质含量增加了66.66%,膳食纤维含量增加了48.02%。堆积密度增加了1.46倍。然而,膨胀率、孔隙率和吸水指数显著降低(P < 0.05)。与对照样品相比,挤压膨化食品的健康促进特性有所提高,即总酚含量增加了17.84%,2,2 - 二苯基 - 1 - 苦基肼自由基(DPPH)含量增加了11.38%,2,2 - 联氮 - 双 - (3 - 乙基苯并噻唑啉 - 6 - 磺酸)(ABTS)含量增加了9.59%。同样,在玉米挤压膨化食品中添加10%鹰嘴豆后,钾含量增加了24.63%。感官评价表明,添加鹰嘴豆粉量高达60 g/kg的玉米挤压膨化食品在小组成员中获得了最高的可接受性。
添加鹰嘴豆制备出了蛋白质和矿物质含量更高的玉米挤压膨化食品,有助于缓解营养不良。© 2024化学工业协会。
