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.
