Optimization of switchgrass and extruder parameters for enzymatic hydrolysis using response surface methodology

Switchgrass is an important biomass that can be hydrolyzed to yield fermentable sugars through pretreatment, which is the primary and expensive step in conversion of biomass to bio-ethanol. Most of the pretreatment operates in batch mode, which is energy intensive, requires high capital, results in decomposition of hemicellulose, and formation of inhibitors. Considering these shortcomings, a novel biomass pretreatment method using a high shear bioreactor could be a viable continuous one. The current study was undertaken to determine the effect of biomass parameters such as moisture content (10, 20, 30, 40, and 50% wb) and particle size (2, 4, 6, 8, and 10 mm) over a range of barrel temperature and screw speed (45-225 °C and 20-200 rpm). Statistical analyses revealed that among the independent variables considered temperature, screw speed, and moisture content had significant effect on sugar recoveries. Proposed quadratic model to predict glucose, xylose, and combined sugar recoveries from switchgrass had a high F and R² values indicating that the model has the ability to represent the relationship among the independent variables studied. The optimum pretreatment condition of barrel temperature 176 °C, screw speed 155 rpm, moisture content 20% wb, and particle size 8 mm resulted in maximum glucose, xylose, and combined sugar recoveries of 41.4, 62.2 and 47.4%, respectively. The optimum pretreated switchgrass had 50% higher surface area than that of the control.     

The recycling of brewer's processing by-product into ready-to-eat snacks using extrusion technology

Brewer's spent grain (BSG) is the main by-product of the brewing industry. The incorporation of BSG into ready-to-eat expanded products and its effects on the textural and functional properties of extrudates have been studied. Dried and milled BSG at levels of 10–30% was added to the formulation mix made of wheat flour, corn starch and other ingredients. The results obtained from the analysis of the extrudates are discussed in terms of the interaction between the ingredients and effects of processing conditions. The samples were processed in a twin-screw extruder with a combination of parameters including constant feeding rate of 25 kg/h, process temperatures 80–120 °C and screw speeds of 150–350 rpm. Pressure, torque and material temperature during extrusion were recorded. The extrudate properties of nutritional and textural characteristics were measured. Image technique investigations provided useful information on internal structure of the extruded products, total cell area, and their contribution to the appearance and texture. It was found that addition of BSG significantly increased protein content, phytic acid and bulk density, decreased sectional expansion index, individual area and total area of the cells. The higher level of BSG resulted in cells with thicker walls with a rougher surface.     

Physicochemical properties and in vitro digestion of extruded rice with grape seed proanthocyanidins

To characterize the impact of grape seed proanthocyanidins (GSPAs) on the physicochemical properties and in vitro digestibility of extruded rice, the XRD, RVA, DSC, FT-IR, micro-CT, as well as the in vitro digestion model was applied. Compared with normal rice, the extruded rice with different proportions of GSPAs (0–1.5%) increased the color depth, enhanced the porosity, and changed the semi-crystalline structure of extruded rice from an A-type to a mixture of A- and V-types. The viscosity and thermal properties of extruded rice with GSPAs were also changed noticeably. Additionally, a significantly lower equilibrium hydrolysis and k constant were observed in extruded rice with GSPAs (p < 0.05). Those results indicated that extruded rice with GSPAs could be an attractive approach to produce rice starchy food with low digestibility.     

Functional suitability of commercially milled rice bran in India for use in different food products

The effect of blending of commercially available full fat and defatted rice brans in India from modern multistage rice mills with parboiling/stabilizing facilities in different food products in comparison to those obtained from laboratory milling of rice is reported. Bread volume and cookie spread decreased but muffin volume increased with the addition of different types of bran to wheat flour, however, the cookie spread factor was not affected by addition of full fat rice bran. The yields of the extrudate were increased by the blending of full fat rice bran but were decreased by the addition of defatted rice bran. Rice brans could be added to different food products to the extent of 5–10%. However, the full fat rice bran could not be used for production of extruded snack food.

Enzymatic modification and particle size reduction of wheat bran improves the mechanical properties and structure of bran-enriched expanded extrudates

The aim of this study was to examine enzymatic modification of wheat bran, performed in a low-moisture process, and the reduction of bran particle size as means of improving the technological performance of wheat bran in expanded extrudates. Modification of bran by hydrolytic enzymes increased the crispiness and decreased the hardness and piece density of extrudates containing wheat bran and endosperm rye flour in 20:80 ratio. These improvements correlated (P < 0.01 or 0.05) with an increased content of water extractable arabinoxylan and decreased water holding capacity of the bran, as well as with increased longitudinal expansion of the extrudates. Furthermore, bran with a fine average particle size (84 μm) produced extrudates with improved mechanical properties and higher radial expansion than coarse bran (particle size 702 μm). The impact of bran particle size was also observed in the cellular structure of the extrudates as differences in cell size and homogeneity. The bran drying method, oven or freeze drying after enzymatic modification, did not have a major impact on the properties of the extrudates. The study showed that the functionality of wheat bran in extrusion can be improved by enzymatic modification using a low-water process and by reduction of bran particle size.     

Physicochemical and antioxidant properties of extruded corn grits with corn fiber by CO2 injection extrusion process

Corn grits and corn fiber mixed at different mass ratios (0/100, 15/85 and 30/70) were extruded at different melt temperature (90, 105 and 120 °C) using extrusion with and without CO₂ injection. The L value, reducing sugar content and antioxidant properties decreased after extrusion with or without CO₂ injection. The color and antioxidant properties were relatively stable in the extrusion with CO₂ injection at higher melt temperature (120 °C) in comparison with the extrusion without CO₂ injection. Higher corn fiber content resulted in less loss of total phenolic content. The b, ΔE values and water absorption index increased after extrusion. The increase of the water absorption index was higher after the extrusion process with the CO₂ injection especially at the lower melt temperature. The addition of corn fiber decreased L, b, and ΔE values, but significantly increased antioxidant properties under the same extrusion conditions.

Effect of extrusion cooking of sorghum flour on rheology,morphology and heating rate of sorghum–wheat composite dough

Addition of a gluten-free flour such as sorghum has negative impact on the quality of wheat dough for bread making. One of the methods which can be used to promote the quality of sorghum-wheat composite dough is to extrude the sorghum flour before incorporation. In this regard, to produce a dough with appropriate bakery properties sorghum flour was extruded at 110 °C and 160 °C die temperature with 10%, 14% and 18% feed moisture. The effect of extruded sorghum flour incorporation (10%) on rheological (farinography and stress relaxation behavior), morphological and temperature profile of sorghum-wheat composite dough were evaluated. Extrusion cooking altered the sorghum-wheat composite dough properties through partial gelatinization of starch granules. Addition of extruded sorghum flour increased the water absorption and dough development time but it decreased the dough stability. Native sorghum-wheat composite dough showed viscoelastic liquid-like behavior whereas addition of sorghum flour extrudate changed dough to a more viscoelastic solid-like structure. Maxwell model was more appropriate than Peleg model to describe the viscoelasticity of the sorghum-wheat composite dough. Extrusion cooking decreased composite dough elasticity and viscosity. Sorghum extrudate increased the heating rate of composite dough crumb during baking. Addition of extruded sorghum flour formed a non-uniform and less compact dough structure. As a result, dough containing extruded sorghum flour had a good potential for producing a high-yielding bread in a short time of baking.
