Pasta, snack crackers and bean temp-eh hamburger: Food development with nutritional and functional

appeal

Priscila Zaczuk Bassinello

Embrapa Rice and Beans, Brazil

T

he search for foodproductswithnutritional and functional

appeal coupled with curiosity about new types and

availability of food, as well as ready-made and / or ready-to-

eat foods has increased in recent decades. In this scenario,

the development of bean gluten free products is attractive

due to its high protein content, dietary fiber, complex

carbohydrates, and the presence of B vitamins, minerals as

well as phenolic compounds, antioxidants and anthocyanins.

Therefore, the development of quick cooking noodles and

bean snacks at low cost is an option for improving the

nutritional quality of these products. Following this trend,

another alternative to consumers is the common bean temp-

eh, typically produced by the solid fermentation of soybean

by the fungus

Rhizopus oligosporus

. The objective of this

study was to develop pasta, biscuits and bean temp-eh

hamburger, and to evaluate their composition and sensorial

acceptance. The pasta and biscuits were developed from

precooked carioca and black bean flours, and the temp-eh

produced with 100% carioca or white bean grains as well

as with the mixture of carioca beans and soybeans (1:1).

The best temp-eh composition was used to formulate the

temp-eh hamburger. Pasta and snack crackers made from

carioca and black beans showed high protein and fiber

content, low caloric value when compared to commercial

products based on wheat flour. BT presented a remarkable

reduction of the protein content in relation to the traditional

soybean temp-eh, but presented high fiber content, lower

caloric value and antioxidant activity. Hamburgers had

reasonable acceptability by consumers and resembled

chicken hamburger. In general, the products developed

showed good sensory acceptance, nutritional and functional

appeal, that is, they raised the desires of consumers who

search for practical foods without giving up the nutritional

quality or healthy properties. In addition, they can be

used as a good protein source for vegans and vegetarians.
