The effect of plant protein inclusion in cooked meat upon in vitro gastro-intestinal (GI) digestion was investigated. Pea protein isolate, rice protein and lentil flour were used to increase the protein content in a meat model system restructured using two transglutaminase enzymes [Activa®EB (TG) and Transgluseen™-M (TS)]. Restructured beef steaks...
In this study, the functionality of colloidal cinnamon nanoparticles in improving the antioxidant activity and suspension stability of a chocolate beverage formulated with two types of cocoa powder (natural and alkalised) was investigated. Cinnamon-loaded nanoparticles based on shellac and xanthan gum prepared using anti-solvent precipitation were...
The cover image, by Cristina Botinestean et al., is based on the Research Note Possibilities for developing texture‐modified beef steaks suitable for older consumers using fruit‐derived proteolytic enzymes, DOI 10.1111/jtxs.12305.
Practical applications:
Meat processors have a role to play in enhancing the availability of appropriate foodstuffs for older people, through developing targeted products that will meet the specialized nutritional and chemosensory needs of this cohort.
