    Impact of moisture and grinding on yield, physical, chemical and thermal properties of wholegrain flour obtained from hydrothermally treated sorghum grains

    The present work evaluates the potential of sorghum with high content of tannins for wholegrain flour production. Two types of mills were used: a roller mill (RM) and a blade (BM) mill. The impact of moisture and grinding on yield, physical, chemical and thermal properties were evaluated. Maximum yield was obtained using a BM with 25% moisture in the grain, resulting in 60.9% versus 28% (g flour g -1 wholegrain sorghum) for the RM. Grain moisture and milling type affected flour colour and ashes. For both mills, the pasting and thermal properties of flour with grain moisture variation were significantly different from the untreated control sample. By studying the procedures for flour production and quality characteristics, it is possible to produce flour with good physical attributes, which can contribute to the development of gluten-free foods based on sorghum for the coeliac population.

    The impact of pirodextrin addition to improve physicochemical parameters of sorghum beer
    (2021-06-28) Gómez Pamies, Laura Cecilia; Lataza Rovaletti, María Mercedes; Martinez Amezaga, Nancy María Jimena; Benítez, Elisa Inés
    The traditional sorghum beer brewed by African communities differs from the traditional beer obtained from barley, mainly in the absence of hops and in a higher acidity level. People diagnosed with celiac disease find it as an alternative option when enjoying a good beer; however, some of the technological differences could be improved with the use of pyrodextrins obtained from the same cereal. In this work the use of pyrodextrins obtained by a treatment at 120 ◦C with acid during 360 min is proposed. A composite central design was made varying the concentration of pyrodextrins between 5 and 15 g/L and hop between 30 and 60 mg/L. The results indicate that the use of pyrodextrins up to a concentration of 10 g/L improves α-acid utilisation, bitterness and viscosity of the drink, achieving values similar to a typical lager beer obtained from barley. For 10 g/L pyrodextrin addition the increase in the wort and beer viscosity was 4.4% and 4.9%, respectively.
