Abstract

With the ever-growing demand for food and food-feed competition because of population growth, the nutritional and functional properties of rubber seed meal were evaluated. Rubber seeds were processed as raw, cooked, and fermented seed meals and analysed for proximate, bulk density, water absorption capacity, oil absorption capacity, emulsion capacity, and least gelation concentration. Results showed significant differences (P< 0.05) in the proximate and functional properties of the seed meals. Fermented rubber seed meal (FRSM) had higher ash (4.04%), crude fat (54.17%), and crude protein (22.25%) but with the least content in carbohydrates (11.58%). Cooked rubber seed meal (CRSM) and FRSM had improved oil absorption capacity (OAC), bulk density (BD), and water absorption capacity (WAC). The seed meals showed good thickening and gelling properties with WAC of 138 to 174% and least gelation concentration (LGC) of 5 to 6%. Rubber seed has an appreciable amount of food nutrients and good functional properties and therefore has a great potential for use in food and food product formulations. Key words: Rubber seed, functional properties, proximate, food formulation.

橡胶树(Hevea brasiliensis)种子粕近似特性和功能特性的评价

随着人口增长对食品需求的不断增长和食品饲料竞争的加剧，对橡胶籽粕的营养和功能特性进行了评价。将橡胶种子加工成生的、熟的和发酵的种子粕，分析其近似、容重、吸水能力、吸油能力、乳化能力和最小胶凝浓度。结果表明，种子粕的近似特性和功能特性存在显著差异(P< 0.05)。发酵橡胶籽粕的粗灰分(4.04%)、粗脂肪(54.17%)和粗蛋白质(22.25%)含量较高，但碳水化合物含量最低(11.58%)。熟橡胶籽粕(CRSM)和熟橡胶籽粕(FRSM)提高了橡胶籽粕的吸油能力(OAC)、容重(BD)和吸水能力(WAC)。种子粕具有良好的增稠和胶凝性能，WAC为138 ~ 174%，最低胶凝浓度(LGC)为5 ~ 6%。橡胶籽具有相当数量的食品营养素和良好的功能特性，因此在食品和食品配方中具有很大的应用潜力。关键词:橡胶籽;功能特性;近似物;
