Wheat bran is a by-product of the milling process This material is rich in protein, minerals and dietary fiber However, it has been mainly used as animal feed and fertilizer In our previous research, wheat bran was treated with cellulase preparation and employed in the production of a high fiber pasta by partially replacing the semolina portion In this study, the antioxidant activity and glycemic index of the wheat bran-fortified pasta were investigated Additionally, the potentials of vital gluten addition and transglutaminase treatment in improving quality of bran-enriched pasta were also examined The inclusion of wheat bran into flour formulation improved the antioxidant activity of pasta in terms of total phenolic content, DPPH radical scavenging activity and ferric reducing power; as well as reducing the glycemic response of pasta The fortification of gluten preparation and use of transglutaminase enhanced the cooking performance as well as the firmness, tensile strength and overall acceptability of pasta In particular, the combination of vital gluten addition and transglutaminase treatment was more effective in enhancing cooking loss, firmness and tensile strength

Trang 131 Introduction
Pasta from durum wheat is a common staple food in many countries It is regarded as a healthy food due to its relatively low fat composition and having a good source of low glycemic index carbohydrate However, the dietary fiber content of pasta is low, only 1.2% (C S Brennan, 2013) To resolve this problem, pasta is prepared from wholegrain or incorporated with inulin, B-glucan and other ingredients to increase the fiber content (Foschia, Peressini, Sensidoni, & Brennan, 2013) Another potential source of dietary fiber for human consumption is wheat bran This cereal material has the content of total dietary fiber up to 63.0% (Onipe, Jideani Afam, & Beswa, 2015) Nevertheless, 90% of wheat bran has been mainly used for animal feeding worldwide (Song, Zhu, Pei, Ai, & Chen, 2013) Apart from this, the ratio of insoluble dietary fiber to soluble dietary fiber (IDF/SDF) of wheat bran is highly unbalanced, which is about 7:1 On the nutritional perspective, it is advised to lower this ratio in order to maximize the beneficial effects of dietary fiber, including weight control and reduction in the risk of developing type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, and colonic cancer (Jha, Singh, & Prakash, 2017)
In our previous study, pasta products with high fiber content was produced by introducing wheat bran into the formulation (Si Nhat & Thi Cam Tu, 2018) Notably, pasta containing bran treated with cellulase preparation exhibited a high soluble fiber content and a balanced IDF/SDF ratio In the mentioned research, the effects of bran inclusion on pasta quality in terms of dietary fiber content, cooking performance, texture, and overall acceptability were assessed However, the changes in other properties of interest, i.e antioxidant activity and glycemic response, were not yet measured On the other hand, the most challenging problem of incorporating wheat bran into pasta is the adverse impact on textural quality, mainly due to the disrupted protein network The deterioration in pasta texture also correlated with the reduction in overall acceptability of consumers Thus, enhancement in textural properties of bran-enriched pasta is of high importance
Trang 142 Literature review
2.1 Dietary fiber
2.1.1 Definition, classification and physiological effects of dietary fiber
Dietary fibers are carbohydrate polymers with three or more monomeric units and not hydrolyzed by the endogenous enzymes of the human small intestine (Joint FAO/WHO Food Standards Programme, 2015) Based on their solubility in water, dietary fibers can be classified into insoluble and soluble dietary fibers Lignin, cellulose, and some hemicelluloses belong to the insoluble dietary fiber; while pectic polysaccharides, B-glucans, galactomannans, fructans, gums, and other non-starch polysaccharides are the representatives of soluble dietary fiber (Maphosa & Jideani, 2016)
Insoluble and soluble dietary fibers have different effects on normal gut activity The insoluble fibers are neither digested nor fermented in the gastrointestinal tract They are mainly responsible for absorption, swelling and holding of water molecules within their porous structures (Mudgil, 2017) The hydration of insoluble fibers may result in increased fecal bulk and softened stool, therefore improving proper bowel movement and facilitating laxation (Foschia et al., 2013) In contrast, the soluble fibers are fermented by the colonic microbiota in the large intestine with various extents Some of them are slowly fermented and exert laxative effect, whereas the others are rapidly fermented and serve as substrates for potentially beneficial bacteria (McRorie, 2015) Such soluble fibers selectively stimulate the growth and activity of these microorganisms, thus enhancing the host health This phenomenon is clinically designated as prebiotic effect (Slavin, 2013)
Certain soluble fibers such as B-glucan, psyllium and guar gum may increase the viscosity of the aqueous phase when ingested The consumption of this kind of fibers might lead to the decrease in the plasma cholesterol level and glycemic response (Stephen et al., 2017) The mechanism by which those fibers can lower the serum cholesterol level is the entrapment and elimination of bile via the stool (McRorie, 2015) In addition, the attenuation of glycemic response by soluble fibers could be explained by the limited contact between digestive enzymes and complex substrates due to the elevated viscosity, which in turn impedes the degradation of macromolecules into readily absorbed nutrients (McRorie, 2015) As a consequence, the absorption of glucose and other nutrients at the
Trang 15It can be noted that more physiologically beneficial effects are associated with the consumption of soluble fiber compared to insoluble fiber The ratio of insoluble fiber to soluble fiber (IDF/SDF) provides an important information about the nutritional quality of foods The American Dietetic Association recommends a dietary fiber intake of 25—30 g/day for adults, in which an IDF/SDF ratio of 3:1 is advised to maximize potential health benefits of dietary fiber (Valdivia-L6pez & Tecante, 2015) Other authors suggested that a source of dietary fiber should have an IDF/SDF ratio close to 2:1 to be accepted as a food ingredient (Rafiq et al., 2016)
2.1.2 Wheat bran—A potential source of dietary fiber
The wheat (Triticum spp.) kernel is made of 03 major components, i.e the bran, the germ and the endosperm During the conventional milling process of wheat grain, the majority of endosperm is separated from the germ and the bran Wheat bran occurs as a milling by-product Histologically, the bran comprises different tissue layers, namely the fruit coat, the seed coat, the hyaline layer, and the aleurone layer—a part of the starchy endosperm (Apprich et al., 2014) Wheat bran is considered as a concentrated source of dietary fiber The total dietary fiber content of this cereal material varies between 33.4 and 63.0% The proportion of each constituent in the total fiber content of wheat bran is shown in Table 2.1 The soluble portion of wheat bran fiber is less than 5% and consists of glucans and xylans (Onipe et al., 2015) The IDF/SDF ratio of wheat bran is apparently unbalanced and higher than the advised value Therefore, it is recommended to reduce this ratio by enzymatic treatment

2.1.3 Conversion of insoluble fiber into soluble fiber by enzymatic treatment
Trang 16in order to minimize the transformation of fibers into undesired sugars, the presence of exocarbohydrase activity in the enzyme preparation with a large amount is not preferred In cereal brans, xylan and cellulose are the most abundant insoluble fibers (Mudgil & Barak, 2013) Hence, utilization of xylanase and cellulase preparation may be useful for transforming insoluble fibers of brans into soluble fibers
Xylanases are a group of carbohydrase that catalyze the hydrolysis of xylan Xylanase preparation are mostly produced by bacteria and filamentous fungi Due to the heterogeneity and complicated chemical nature, the complete breakdown of xylan requires the action of several enzymes The xylanolytic enzyme system usually includes B-1,4-endoxylanase; B-xylosidase, acetyl xylan esterase, arabinase, a-glucuronidases, ferulic acid esterase, and p-coumaric acid esterase (X Liu & Kokare, 2017) All of these enzymes act cooperatively to hydrolyze xylan into constituent monomers Endoxylanase (EC 3.2.1.8) is of great importance since it can cleave the main backbone of xylan by catalyzing the hydrolysis of B-1,4 glycosidic linkages in xylan
Cellulases are multienzyme complexes with 03 different major components, namely endo-1,4-B-D-glucanase (EC 3.2.1.4), exo-glucanase/exo-cellobiohydrolase (EC 3.2.1.91) and B-glucosidase (EC 3.2.1.21) All of these components act synergistically to hydrolyze cellulose completely into glucose Endo-1,4-B-D-glucanase attacks first and randomly to generate reducing and non-reducing ends, which are further cleaved by exo- cellobiohydrolase to release cellobiose Cellobiose is eventually cleaved by B-glucosidase (BGL) into 02 glucose molecules (Kuhad, Gupta, & Singh, 2011) BGL is the limiting factor in overall performance of cellulase complex since it is inhibited by its end-product, i.e glucose To convert insoluble fibers into soluble fibers, the BGLs which are sensitive to glucose inhibition are desired due to the restricted saccharification Normally, BGLs of Trichoderma reesei are subject to product inhibition (Singhania, Adsul, Pandey, & Patel, 2017) Hence, cellulase preparations obtained from this fungus could be useful for converting cellulose into soluble fibers
Trang 17produce feruloyl oligosaccharides by hydrolyzing xylan of wheat bran (Yuan, Wang, & Yao, 2006) Ingelbrecht, Moers, Abécassis, Rouau, and Delcour (2001) prepare pasta from durum semolina with the aid of an endoxylanase Treatment with endoxylanase is reported to lower extrusion pressure and increase the level of soluble fiber (i.e water- extractable arabinoxylans)
Cellulase preparations are commonly applied in processing cellulosic materials Treatment of wheat bran with cellulase preparation is applied to assist the extraction of xylo-ogliosaccharide (Zhao & Dong, 2016) Aktas-Akyildiz et al (2017) report that processing wheat bran with Cellulast 1.5L (a cellulase preparation) increases the soluble fiber content of bran In addition, the supplementation with enzyme-treated wheat bran significantly improves the soluble fiber content of bread samples Similarly, Vien and Le (2018) conclude that the cookie samples incorporated with cellulase-treated wheat bran exhibited higher soluble fiber content compared to those containing untreated bran These authors also establish the appropriate condition for the treatment of wheat bran with Viscozyme Cassava C (a commercial cellulase preparation) to transform insoluble fibers into soluble fibers, in which soluble fiber content increases by 38% and IDF/SDF ratio is reduced by 74%
2.2 Pasta with high fiber content
2.2.1 Technology of making pasta with high fiber content
The conventional pasta made from durum wheat semolina has a low dietary fiber content, which is 1.2 g/100 g The Codex Alimentarius (2009) recommends that any products claiming to be a “source” of fiber should contain at least 3 g of fiber per 100 g of serving or 1.5 g of fiber per 100 kcal of serving; while to claim that a food is “high” in fiber, the product must contain at least 6 g of fiber per 100 g of serving or 3 g of fiber per 100 kcal of serving (Foschia et al., 2013) Generally, there are 02 types of materials for manufacture of pasta with improved fiber dietary content This kind of products can be prepared from the durum whole-wheat flour (whole-wheat pasta) or from the mixture of durum semolina and other fiber-rich ingredients (fiber-enriched pasta)
Trang 18and square spaghetti while extrusion 1s used to make spaghetti and macaroni The formed dough sheets or extruded strands are then cut into appropriate shapes There are 02 main types of pasta manufactured: the fresh pasta, which is minimally dried or not dried, has a higher moisture content and therefore its shelf life is shorter; whereas the dried pasta has moisture content lower than 12% and has a longer shelf life
2.2.2 Quality of fiber-enriched pasta
The incorporation of fiber-rich ingredients is found to improve the nutritional quality of pasta products The total dietary fiber and protein content of pasta is reported to be increased when introducing mushroom powders (Lu et al., 2018), deoiled chia flour (Aranibar et al., 2018), or wheat bran (Sobota, Rzedzicki, Zarzycki, & Kuzawinska, 2014) into the formulation The incorporation of some fiber-rich ingredients, namely B-glucan, resistant starch, and oat bran results in a lowered glycemic index of cooked pasta after in vitro digestion (Bustos, Perez, & Leén, 2011; Chillo, Ranawana, & Henry, 2011) In addition, certain fiber preparations are demonstrated to have high antioxidant activity, such as deoiled chia flour, carob fiber, and wheat bran Thus, the inclusion of such fibers into pasta causes an increase in the antioxidant activity of the final product (Aranibar et al., 2018; Aravind, Sissons, Egan, & Fellows, 2012; Biernacka, Dziki, Gawlik-Dziki, Rozyto, & Siastata, 2017)
The incorporation of fibers is reported to affect the cooking quality of pasta, including optimal cooking time, cooking loss, and swelling index Aravind et al (2012) and Sobota et al (2014) figure out that the optimal cooking time is decreased when the level of insoluble fiber increases With regard to the cooking loss, this parameter is raised as the inclusion level of bran, B-glucan and inulin is elevated (Chillo et al., 2011; Kong et al., 2012; Tudorica, Kuri, & Brennan, 2002) In terms of swelling index, this value is reported to vary with contrasting patterns in different studies The study of Foschia et al (2013) showed that all of the spaghetti samples fortified with fiber preparations (i.e oat bran, psyllium, B-glucan, and inulin) demonstrate a higher swelling index than that of the sample prepared from semolina only However, other publications report a decrease in the swelling index of pasta and rice noodle at increased enrichment level of durum bran (Aravind et al., 2012) or okra (Kang, Bae, & Lee, 2018)
Trang 19enriched with deoiled chia flour, wheat bran, and resistant starch shows a lower firmness compared to that of the sample without fiber (Aranibar et al., 2018; Bustos et al., 2011; Sobota et al., 2014) With respect to the sensory quality, the increase in the incorporation level of fiber generally causes a loss in consumer acceptance of pasta and noodle product (Biernacka et al., 2017; Bustos et al., 2011; B.-R Kim, Kim, Bae, Chang, & Moon, 2017) These findings also reveal that fiber-enriched pasta has a reduced score for appearance, firmness, color, taste, and overall acceptability Moreover, Aravind et al (2012) conclude that pasta samples incorporated with cereal brans exhibit a floury mouthfeel, coupled with a darker color and rougher surface compared to sample without bran
2.3 Quality improvement of fiber-enriched pasta
2.3.1 Methods for improving textural quality of fiber-enriched pasta
It is known that the formation of starch—gluten network during the mixing and kneading step would determine the textural characteristics of pasta A proper pasta texture should be resistant to stretching and elastic in nature (C S Brennan, 2013) The addition of fiber may reduce the gluten content and physically disrupt the continuity of the starch— gluten network The weakened and disrupted starch—gluten matrix would exert negative effects on the textural integrity of pasta (Rakhesh, Fellows Christopher, & Sissons, 2014) At the higher incorporation level of fiber, the gluten content of the dough would be lower and the disruptive impact of fiber on the starch—protein network would be more severe
According to the aforementioned changes, the enhancement in textural quality of pasta could be accomplished by increasing protein content of the dough and improving the continuity of the starch—protein matrix The augmentation in the protein content of dough could be delivered by the addition of other protein preparations, most importantly vital wheat gluten On the other hand, the formation of new covalent cross-links catalyzed by transglutaminase enzyme (EC 2.3.2.13) may strengthen the starch—protein network The reformed pasta texture is expected to improve the sensory quality of final product 2.3.2 Improvement in pasta texture by addition of vital wheat gluten
Trang 20chains associate with each other and with glutenins through hydrogen bond and hydrophobic interactions The polymeric glutenins are divided into high molecular weight (MW > 100,000 Da) and low molecular weight subunit (MW ~ 45,000 Da) The high molecular weight subunit of the glutenin fraction is responsible for providing the viscoelastic property of gluten due to the ability to form an intermolecular network Meanwhile, the low molecular weight subunit is crucial for the formation of glutenin macropolymer by intermolecular disulfide bonds (Day, 2011)
Wheat gluten is a common food ingredient, produced by drying wet gluten after being separted from the starch slurry It is marketed into 02 types, “vital” and “nonvital” When in contact with water, vital wheat gluten can hydrate rapidly and restore its original functionality while nonvital wheat gluten does not (Esteller, Pitombo, & Lannes, 2005) Vital wheat gluten is widely used in the bakery industry to improve the crumb structure of baked product (Ortolan & Steel, 2017) The absence of gluten or reduction in its content may result in the lack of viscoelasticity in dough and therefore difficulty in obtaining the desired product texture and appearance (Moore, Juga, Schober, & Arendt, 2007)
The use of vital wheat gluten in the production of noodle and pasta product from low protein flours is reported in the litterature Raina, Singh, Bawa, and Saxena (2005) figure out at the base flour protein level of 16-18%, noodles prepared from broken rice flour and supplemented with vital gluten show similar texture to commercial semolina pasta The introduction of vital gluten is found to improve the cooking quality, firmness, tensile strength, and overall acceptability of oat noodle (Zhou, Zhu, Shan, Cai, & Corke, 2011) and white salted noodle (Park & Baik, 2009) Nevertheless, the findings of Cuicui, Qiyu, Zipeng, and Huili (2018) reveal that the inclusion of gluten with low disulfide bonds concentration causes an increase in the cooking loss of Chinese white noodle 2.3.3 Improvement in pasta texture by the use of transglutaminase preparation
Trang 21The utilization of transglutaminase preparations in noodle and pasta making is reported in several publications The addition of transglutaminase is found to lower the cooking loss of lupin flour noodle (Bilgicli & Ibanoglu, 2014), oat noodle (Wang, Huang, Kim, Liu, & Tilley, 2011), durum wheat pasta (Krisztina Takacs, Gelencsér, & Kovacs, 2007), and white salted noodle (Wu & Corke, 2005) In contrast, other authors conclude that the increase in transglutaminase dosage causes an elevation in cooking loss (Shiau & Chang, 2013) or does not change the cooking performance of noodle and pasta (Sissons, Aravind, & Fellows, 2010) On the other side, the addition of transglutaminase was found to improve the water absorption and swelling index of durum pasta (Krisztina Takacs et al., 2007) and and gluten-free noodle (K Takacs, 2007) Treatment with transglutaminase is reported to successfully enhance the textural quality of conventional pasta (Krisztina Takacs et al., 2007), bran-enriched pasta (Basman et al., 2006) and whole wheat noodle (Niu, Hou, Kindelspire, Krishnan, & Zhao, 2017) Apart from the texture improvement, gluten-free noodle and pasta produced with the aid of transglutaminase also show a lower glycemic index (Gan, Ong, Wong, & Easa, 2009; Rosa-Sibakov et al., 2016)

The moisture content was measured by drying at 105°C in a moisture analyzer (ML-50, A&D, Tokyo, Japan) The protein content was determined by Kjeldahl method with a nitrogen-to-protein conversion factor of 5.8 for wheat (Fujihara, Sasaki, Aoyagi, & Sugahara, 2008) The total lipid content was determined by a Soxhlet extraction method The ash content was determined by incineration at 600°C The IDF and SDF content was determined according to Method 991.42 and 993.19 (AOAC, 2000), respectively The total starch content was quantified by Method 996.11 (AOAC, 2000) The gluten content of durum semolina was determined according to the method of Kaushik et al (2015)
2i) Cooking quality
Frozen pasta was defrosted for 20 min at room temperature prior to evaluation of cooking quality About 5 g of raw pasta is cooked in 50 mL of boiling distilled water The water level was kept at a constant level during the entire cooking period by continuously supplying the boiling water The optimal cooking time (OCT) of pasta is determined as the time when the white central core of the pasta disappeared after cross- cutting it with a razor blade (Aravind et al., 2012) To determine the cooking loss and swelling index, pasta samples are cooked to OCT The cooking water is collected from each sample and evaporated to constant weight at 105 °C in a convection dryer Cooking loss is calculated as the percentage of residual solid weight to raw pasta weight (Aravind et al., 2012) After cooking and draining, the pasta samples were analyzed for water
Trang 32absorption index and swelling index Water absorption index (WAI) was measured as
follows:
WAI= weight of cooked pasta — weight of raw pasta
weight of raw pasta
Swelling index (SI) was determined by drying cooked pasta to constant weight at 105°C in a convection dryer and calculated as follows:
SI= weight of cooked pasta — weight of pasta after drying
weight of pasta after drying
Five measurements of cooking quality in terms of cooking loss, WAI and SI were performed each pasta sample
3i) In vitro digestion
Trang 33A non-linear model established by Goñi et al (1997) was applied to describe the kinetics of starch hydrolysis The pseudo-first-order equation has the following formula:
C=Œ„(I-e*“)
where C corresponds to the percentage of hydrolyzed starch at time t; Cw corresponds to the equilibrium percentage of hydrolyzed starch after 180 min; k is the kinetic constant and tis the time Non-linear regression was performed in ORIGIN PRO 8 to estimate the
parameters
The rate of starch digestion was expressed as the percentage of hydrolyzed starch to the initial starch content at different time points (30, 60, 90, 120, 150 and 180 min) The area under the starch hydrolysis curve (AUC) was determined according to Hur, Lim, Decker, and McClements (2011):
C,, -k(t, -tp
AUC =C, (t, ~h))+<2|1-e ty
where f= 180 min and f& = 0
The hydrolysis index (HI) was obtained by dividing the AUC of each sample by the AUC of the reference sample (fresh white bread)
HI= AUC of sample x100
AUC of reference
The predicted glycemic index (pGI) was determined according to Ren et al (2016): pGI = 39.71 + 0.059HI
4i) Antioxidant properties
e Extractions of antioxidants compounds
The extraction of antioxidant compounds were done as previously described by Biney and Beta (2014) with slight modifications To 1 g of sample, 10 mL of acidified methanol (concentrated HCl : methanol : water, 1:80:20) was added in 15 mL centrifuge tubes, vortexed and shaken at room temperature for 2 h The mixture was then centrifuged for 15 min at 4000 rpm The supernatant was collected and used for the total phenolic content, DPPH radical inhibition and ferric reducing ability (FRAP) assay
e Determination of total phenolic content
The Folin—Ciocalteau method adapted by Beta, Nam, Dexter, and Sapirstein (2005) was used A portion of extract (0.2 mL) was added to 1.5 mL of a 10-fold freshly diluted Folin—Ciocalteau reagent After vortexing, the mixture was allowed to equilibrate
Trang 34for 5 min, after which 1.5 mL of sodium carbonate solution (60 g/L) was added, combined with further vortexing The reaction was allowed to progress at room temperature and away from light for 90 min The absorbance was read at 725 nm Acidified methanol was used as blank A standard curve of versus absorbance was constructed using gallic acid The results were expressed as mg equivalent of gallic acid/100 g dry matter
e Determination of DPPH radical scavenging activity
Antioxidant activity was measured according to the method of Biney and Beta (2014) The method involves the use of the free radical 2,2-diphenyl-l-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH), where antioxidants were allowed to react with the stable radical in a methanol solution The discoloration of the DPPH radicals was followed by monitoring the decrease in its absorbance at a characteristic wavelength during the reaction The extract (0.1 mL) was reacted with 3.9 mL of a 60 umol/L of DPPH solution (2.4 mg of DPPH in 100 mL of methanol) The absorbance (A) at 515 nm was read at 0 and 30 min Methanol was the blank Antioxidant activity was calculated as percentage of discoloration Peiscotoration:
Padiscoloration = (1 — [Asample, t= 30 / Acontrol, +=0]) X 100%
A standard curve of different Trolox concentrations versus activity was constructed and results were expressed as pmol equivalent of Trolox/100 g dry matter
e Determination of reducing power (FRAP)
FRAP assay was performed according to Benzie and Strain (1996) with slight modifications In brief, the fresh working solution was prepared by mixing acetate buffer pH 3.6 with a 10 mM TPTZ solution in 40 mM HC] and a 20 mM FeC]3.6H20 solution (10:1:1, respectively) 20 uL of sample were added to 3.8 mL of FRAP working solution The mixture was then incubated in the dark for 15 min, and the absorbance was measured at 593 nm The results were expressed as umol equivalent of Trolox/100 g dry matter 5i) Color measurement

All samples were cooked to optimal cooking time on the day of determination A texture analyzer (Stable Micro System TA-XT plus, United Kingdom) equipped with a Windows version of the Exponent Connect Lite software package was used to conduct the texture analysis The determined textural parameters were pasta firmness, springiness, cohesiveness, gumminess, tensile strength and elongation rate
In the Texture Profile Analysis (TPA), the probe compressed the samples at a speed of 1 mm/s to 30% strain The probe was subsequently retracted and followed by a second compression cycle after 1 s The results (springiness, cohesiveness, chewiness and gumminess) were recorded
In the tensile strength, 01 strand of cooked pasta was fixed to the arms of tensile grips The force (tensile strength) at the break point was measured at a speed of 1 mm/s The diameter of cooked pasta was determined to calculate the cross-sectional area The tensile strength 7S and elongation rate ER were as follows:
TS=FI/A
where F is the force at the break point and A is the cross-sectional area of cooked pasta strand Elongation rate ER is calculated as follows:
ER = (L; — Lz) / La x 100%
where L; is the stretch distance and L> is the set distance
7i) Sensory evaluation
The overall acceptability of cooked pasta was assessed by 60 untrained panelists, aged from 18 to 25 The panelists were recruited from Ho Chi Minh City University of Technology, Vietnam They were asked to consume the cooked pasta and then rate their
Trang 36overall acceptability on a nine-point hedonic scale The time for delivery of cooked pasta samples to the panelists was within 5 min

It is evident that both enzyme-treated and enzyme-treated wheat bran showed a remarkably higher protein, ash and total dietary fiber content in comparison with durum semolina This suggests that the incorporation of wheat bran into the conventional flour formulation can improve the nutritional quality of pasta The amino acid profile of wheat bran protein is of higher quality than that of endosperm (Balandran-Quintana, Mercado- Ruiz, & Mendoza-Wilson, 2015) In addition, the minerals found in wheat bran are mainly Fe, Zn, Mn, Mg and P (Onipe et al., 2015) On the other hand, durum semolina and gluten preparation had the highest starch and protein content, respectively
It should be noted that the cellulase treatment did not change the composition of wheat bran, except for the dietary fiber content After the enzymatic treatment, the soluble fiber content of wheat bran was increased by 14.5%, while the insoluble fiber content was decreased by 23.3% The IDF/SDF ratio of enzyme-treated wheat bran was 30.6% lower than that of untreated one The augmentation in soluble fiber content could be due to conversion of cellulose into soluble fragments by the action of cellulase The enzymatic hydrolysis also caused a slight reduction in the total fiber content of wheat bran This was probably due to generation of low molecular weight carbohydrates (LMWCs) In the determination of soluble fiber content, these LMWCs are hardly precipitated in 78%
Trang 38ethanol aqueous solution (McCleary et al., 2012) They could not be recovered and that results in the loss of total dietary fiber content

As can be seen from Table 4.2, durum semolina showed the highest L* value (lightness), followed by gluten preparation, untreated wheat bran and enzyme-treated wheat bran In contrast, the a* value (redness) of semolina was found to be the lowest, while the highest redness was attributed to enzyme-treated wheat bran The b*, C, and h value of semolina were generally lower than those of wheat bran and gluten preparation It is noticeable that processing wheat bran with cellulase resulted in a 9.8% reduction in lightness and a 70.0% increase in redness The slightly darkened appearance of wheat bran could be explained by the formation and accumulation of Maillard reaction products during the enzymatic treatment procedure

Trang 39durum semolina, respectively It is reported that majority of antioxidants in wheat grain are the phenolic compounds located in the bran layer (Yu, Nanguet, & Beta, 2013) The TPC and ferric reducing power of both untreated and cellulase-treated wheat bran were not statistically significant (p < 0.05) L Liu et al (2017) report that a complex enzymatic hydrolysis employing a-amylase, glucoamylase, protease, and cellulase significantly increases the bioavailability of the antioxidative phenolics in rice brans In cereal brans, most of the phenolic compounds are conjugated with the cell wall components (Calinoiu & Vodnar, 2018) Hence, the release of those phenolics required a combination of several enzymatic treatments
Additionally, the cellulase treatment led to a 18.7% increase in DPPH inhibition activity of wheat bran A partial explanation to this phenomenon could be the formation and accumulation of Maillard reaction products during the incubation with enzyme and drying process of treated bran The Maillard reaction generally involves the interaction between amino acids and reducing sugars or lipid oxidation products (Yilmaz & Toledo, 2005) The products derived from Maillard reaction were demonstrated to have various extents of in vitro radical scavenging activity (Nooshkam, Varidi, & Bashash, 2019) 4.2 Effects of wheat bran incorporation on the qualities of pasta
