Resumo
The common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) assumes great importance in human nutrition. It holds essential components to the diet such as proteins, carbohydrates and minerals. The bean cotyledon is a byproduct of the bean industry; however, its nutritional value is kept. An alternative to the exploitation of bean cotyledon is the use of extrusion in the development of food products. In this context, the objective of this research was to produce extruded flours from the common bean cotyledon (Phaseolus vulgaris L.), the Carioca type, in different conditions of temperature and humidity in order to achieve technological and biochemical parameters for their use as instant food ingredient. The grains were crushed to a granulometry between 0.75 and 0.85 mm. The extrusion was carried out in full line of extrusion using extruder model MI - 130 plus, screw rotation speed 414 rpm, single screw and long with 02 compression rates and helical shirt. A model 22 was applied to evaluate the conditions of extrusion. The variables studied were temperature (150, 154, 164, 174 and 178° C) and humidity (12.3, 14, 18, 22 and 23.7%). After extrusion, the products milled to obtain flour were evaluated for chemical composition, rate of water absorption, water solubility, ability to gel formation, viscoamylographic properties, trypsin inhibitor activity, in vitro digestibility of protein and starch and microbiological quality. The results showed no significant difference between treatments related to the composition of the flours, except for the humidity. Regarding technological properties analyzed, there was a decrease of water solubility of 33% in raw flour to 15 to 23% in the extrudates. There was an increase in water absorption (9.1 to 23.9%) and improvement in ability to form gels (9% versus 11% of raw flour). Regarding the parameters of viscosity of extruded flours, the initial viscosity increased with the decrease in humidity and temperature and was observed no peak viscosity. The high values of breakdown viscosity were found in median temperatures and high humidity values. On the other hand, the final viscosity and retrogradation of extruded flours were higher when median temperatures and low humidity were used. The process resulted in complete elimination of the activity of trypsin inhibitors and increase in protein (between 11.7 and 26.6%) and starch (between 14.4 and 38.07%) digestibility. The microbiological analysis showed that all samples of extruded bean flours and instant bean soup prepared were presented in accordance with standards established by the Legislature. These results indicate that it is possible to produce instant bean flour, as an appropriate ingredient of soups preparations, baby food and other foods, with better nutritional value and good technological and biochemical properties.
