The sample was agitated on a vortex mixer for 1 min and allowed to stand at room temperature for 30 min. The contents were centrifuged at 3000 x g for 20 min and the volume of free oil was noted. All the experiments were carried out in triplicate.
Pasting properties of sago: Viscosity of sago samples was determined using a rapid visco analyzer (RVA-4, Newport Scientific, and Warriewood, Australia). The powdered sago sample (2.5 g dry weight) was accurately weighed into the aluminum canister and distilled water (25 g) was added and mixed well. The canister was placed in the RVA unit and the heating/cooling cycle was performed as per standard procedure. The slurry was heated from 50 to 95ºC at 12ºC/min and held at 95ºC for 2 min. The paste was cooled to 50ºC at 12ºC/min and finally maintained at 50ºC for 2 min. The parameters such as peak viscosity, breakdown viscosity, setback viscosity in terms of centipoises (cP) and pasting temperature (ºC) were measured. In addition, setback viscosity (final -trough viscosity), disintegration rate, (% ratio of breakdown to peak viscosity) and retrogradation rate, (% ratio of setback to peak viscosity) were also calculated.

The pasting properties of the SF, SF-L, SF-P, and SS samples were evaluated using a Rapid Viscosity Analyzer (RVA-4) (Newport Scientific, Warriewood, NSW 2102 Australia), which was also used as a simulated thermal processing model on a small scale under controlled conditions (Standard 1). In detail, samples containing 2 g of starch (dry basis) were mixed with distilled water to make a total weight of 28 g. The starch slurries were equilibrated at 50 °C for 2 min, heated at 8 °C/min to 95 °C, held at 95 °C for 3.5 min, cooled at 8 °C/min, and held at 50 °C for 3 min. The speed of the mixing paddle was 960 rpm for the first 10 s, and then 160 rpm for the remainder of the experiment. After measurements, the pastes were frozen in –80 °C immediately, freeze-dried, and ground into power using a mortar and pestle. The powders were passed through a 150 μm sieve and stored at 4 °C for structural analysis.
Starch, protein, and lipids were reconstituted in ratios found in raw sorghum flour and manually mixed by rotating the RVA paddle to obtain the starch–lipid (SS+L), starch–protein (SS+P), and starch–lipid–protein (SS+L+P) mixtures. All reconstituted samples were treated with the RVA protocol described above.

Thermal Processing Simulation of Dairy Products

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
To simulate the conditions that are most often used for the processing of fermented milk, petit suisse, pasteurized cream, and pasteurized flavored milk drinks by the dairy industry, our experiments were conducted under medium (85°C for 15 min) and high (95°C for 5 min) thermal processing conditions. To calculate the average error of the model, experiments were also conducted at 90°C for 10 min; these conditions were considered a central point, X 1 , for the model and held no technological interest, but were merely a statistical tool.
The instrument used in this work was the model RVA-4 from Newport Scientific Pty Ltd. (Warriewood, Australia) . The data collection software was Thermocline for Windows (Warriewood, Australia). The configurations of the thermal processing simulations are described in Tables 2, 3, and4. For all 3 heat treatment levels, the interval between viscosity readings was 1 s. The heating and cooling gradients were standardized at 3.6°C•min -1 . Figure 1 plots the given parameters.
The viscographic profiles were interpreted with respect to 6 collected analytical datapoints and 4 that were derived, as described in Table 5. Figure 2 graphically presents the collected and calculated data in a viscographic profile.

Rice Viscosity Profiling Using RVA

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Rice viscosity (RVA profiles) was determined using a rapid viscosity analyzer (RVA-4, Newport Scientific, New South Wales, Australia) according to AACC Method 61-02, Determination of the Pasting Properties of Rice with the Rapid Visco Analyzer, and analyzed using Thermal Cycle (TCW 2.5) software for Windows [24 ]. Three grams of flour from each sample was weighed into an aluminum canister at a moisture content of 14%, to which 25 mL of distilled water was added. A paddle was placed in the canister, and its blade was vigorously jogged up and down through the sample ten times. The RVA dispersed the samples by rotating the paddle at 960 rpm for the first 10 s of the test. Viscosity was then measured at a constant paddle speed of 160 rpm. The idle temperature was set at 50 °C, and the following 12.5 min test profiles were performed: (1) 50 °C was held for 1.0 min, (2) the temperature was linearly raised to 95 °C until 4.8 min, (3) the temperature was held at 95 °C until 7.5 min, (4) the temperature was linearly reduced to 50 °C until 11 min, and (5) held at 50℃ until 12.5 min. Heating and cooling were performed linearly between the profile set points. Each treatment was repeated three times, and the results were expressed as mean and standard deviation.

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
