Abstract:
During the last few decades the interest and demand for both healthy food and different beverages has increased the interest for healthy food and it is expected to continue increasing in the future. A strong reason for this is the desire among more and more people to live healthy and long lives. Because of this, the recent industry of functional foods has become increasingly popular as marketers aim to sell food products that can benefit a consumer’s health beyond a healthy or organic food products ability. “A functional food is, or appears similar to, a conventional food. It is part of a stan

Abstract:
The underlying basis of this research is that food oral breakdown heavily depends on the mechanical properties of the material being masticated. So far, researchers have been measuring mechanical properties to establish sensory panels which are useful towards designing food. Although this methodology has proven industrially popular, it displays weakness in addressing complex product development and optimisation tasks. Specifically, mastication involves varying parameters across consumers, such as speed, teeth geometry, bite force, jaw motion, as well as friction. Therefore, this study consider

The search for limonoids started long back when scientists started looking for the factor responsible for bitterness in citrus. Studies showed that limonoids are highly oxygenated, modified terpenoids and have recently attracted attention because compounds belonging to this group have exhibited a range of biological activities like insecticidal, insect antifeedant and growth regulating activity on insects as well as antibacterial, antifungal, antimalarial, anticancer, antiviral and a number of other pharmacological activities on humans.

Barley is a rich source of β-glucan; however, consumption of products containing barley grain or flour is often limited by their negative organoleptic quality. A potential solution lies in the use of barley as an extraction source for β-glucan fractions. One problem with regards to this is the lack of clarity on the use of barley β-glucan fractions in
