The current orientation towards a healthy, calorie-free, high nutritional diet requires the identification and study of new ingredients with high nutritional properties, which introduced into the bread consumed daily, contribute to a suitable diet both for people with special diet needs and for healthy people. In this regard, the use of vegetal matrices such as konjac flour and psyllium bran in the bakery products represents a new idea that could be implemented in the food industry in order to diversify the range ...

The main aim of the paper was to obtain a chicken meat pate in which different proportions of goji berries were added in order to increase its functionality and protect it against lipid oxidation. The biofunctional properties of goji berries were initially evaluated by determining total polyphenol content (TPC), total flavonoid content (TFC) and total antioxidant activity using the DPPH method. The values obtained allowed estimation of the amount of goji fruit that could successfully replace the synthetic antioxid...

This study was examined to assess the beneficial effects of baobab flour (BF) on wheat flour (WF) muffins. Four (4) types of muffins, including control and 3 with 10, 20, and 30% BF, were produced and analyzed from a nutritional, phytochemical, and organoleptic point of view. The results of the nutritional analyses revealed that partial substitution of WF by BF significantly improved the nutritional characteristics of the muffins. There was a significant increase in mineral and lipid content in the muffins as BF b...

The use of some non-wheat raw materials in the form of flours, extracts, and malts has always been of interest to food producers. The objective of this study was to evaluate the nutritional potential of some types of malted barley flour (MBF) to develop a range of breads with improved sensory, nutritional, and technological qualities. Malted barley flour (MBF) contains health-promoting compounds that enhance the nutritional value of bakery products when combined with wheat flour (WF). Two types of MBF (Amber and C...
