Enriching this popular food with protein- and fiber-rich sources is important to improve the nutritional quality of noodles. The current study is aimed at enriching instant noodles by substituting wheat flour with lentil flour (7%–35%: L7%, L21%, and L35%), soy-protein isolate (1%–5%: S1%, S3% and S5%), egg-white protein (1–5: E1%, E3%, and E5%) and <i>Spirulina platensis</i> (1%–5%: <i>S.p</i>1%, <i>S.p3</i>% and <i>S.p</i>5%). The physicochemical, microbial, textural, and sensorial properties of noodle samples were investigated. The spatial relationship between parameters was also evaluated based on principal component analysis (PCA) to select the suitable noodle formulation. The highest protein (17.06%) and lowest carbohydrate contents (76.44%) were for L35%. The lowest (1.69%) and highest fat contents (2.04%) were for S5% and <i>S.p</i>5%m, respectively (<i>p</i> &gt; 0.05). Energy values varied from 394.83 (E5%) to 396.37 kcal/100 g (<i>S.p</i>5%). There was no significant difference between the microbial quality of noodle samples (<i>p</i> &gt; 0.05). The hardness of noodles with 1%–5% soy protein, 21% or more lentil flour, and 3% or more egg-white/<i>Spirulina</i> was higher than the control/unenriched group (<i>p</i> &lt; 0.05). The color difference of E1 and E3% with the control sample was not obvious (<i>Δ</i>E^∗ &lt; 3). Although all the ingredients improved the nutritional value of the noodles, the overall acceptance of samples with 3% or more of <i>Spirulina</i> was lower than the acceptable limit (a score of 3). According to PCA, when the nutritional value and sensory acceptance are important, the L35% may be a better choice. E1%, E3%, S1%, S5%, and L7% noodles received almost the same sensory score as the control sample, while they had more nutritional values.

Ten deep-frying cycles were carried out for 20 min each. Oil degradation was measured by peroxide values (PVs) and was highly correlated with the presence of conjugated-diene and conjugated-triene structures. Frying cycles caused two alternative reactions, which both impacted the PV. In one reaction, there was an increase in PV with the oxidation of the unsaturated bonds, and in the second stage, there was a decrease in the cleavage of the double-bond oxide. Additionally, the point of returns (PRs) and activation energy (Ea) were determined for the two stages. The PRs were eight cycles for olive and corn, five cycles for canola, four cycles for sunflower, and three cycles for cotton oil. In terms of ER, the olive and cotton oils had the highest ER and were most resistant to decomposition, and the associated activation energy formation of peroxide decomposition products. The corn oil was the least resistant to decomposition. In addition, this work demonstrated a novel analytical technique that showed the correlation between the total value of conjugated diene-triene structures and PV, using a titration method.

Therefore, the aim of the study was to prepare low-calorie fibre-rich functional cookies fortified with DPC. Different additions of DPC (5% and 10% on wheat flour basis) were added while sugar was reduced by 25% and 50% and replaced by 0.39 and 0.65 g <i>Stevia</i>, respectively.

In addition, the hardness of 10% DPC-enriched cookies with 50% sugar reduction was slightly significantly higher than the control, while other treatments were not significantly different. The addition of DPC significantly decreased both <i>L</i>^∗ and <i>b</i>^∗, while increasing <i>a</i>^∗ of cookies. The results also revealed that the diameter, thickness, and spread ratio of the DPC-enriched cookies did not significantly differ from those of the control sample. On the other hand, the inclusion of DPC and <i>Stevia</i> significantly lowered the weight before baking of cookies, while the baking loss did not significantly change, apart from cookies with 5% DPC and 50% sugar reduction which showed a slight significant increase. The sensory evaluation results showed that cookies with 10% DPC inclusion and 25% sugar reduction received the highest appearance, texture, flavour, and overall acceptability scores compared to the control.

Hence, the study targeted optimizing polishing process parameters for foxtail millet. The effect of process variables such as grain moisture content (8%–16% w.b.), emery roller speed (800–2400 rpm), and polishing time (1–8 min) on polishing characteristics (degree of polishing, head yield, middling yield, and broken content) and proximate composition (protein, fat, crude fiber, ash, and carbohydrate contents) of foxtail millets was studied using the central composite rotatable design (CCRD).

The peeled garlic cloves are also used to make value-added and long shelf life products such as garlic sauce, garlic pickle, dehydrated garlic (cips-granul-powder), garlic extract, garlic tablet, and garlic oil. For this purpose, a pneumatic garlic peeling machine, which has two peeling units, has been developed and tested. Trials were carried out with 5, 7, and 9 bar peeling air pressure; 10, 15, and 20 s peeling time; and 0.2, 0.4, 0.6, 0.8, and 1.0 s loading time. The peeled garlic percentage was between 49.2% and 99.8%, and the machine efficiency was between 32.8 and 100.6 kg/h. Since the amount of unpeeled garlic coming out of the machine will significantly increase the labor required for separation, 96.4 kg/h peeled and 1.4 kg/h unpeeled garlic amounts with the parameters 9 bar peeling air pressure, 0.6 s loading time, and 10 s peeling time were found to be the most successful result. If both units are operated together, the total machine efficiency will be about 200 kg/h. Compared to manual peeling, about 99.6% labor saving is achieved.
