    Abstract The objective of this study was to evaluate the kinetics of denaturation of milk proteins at different temperatures of 80 °C and 85 °C, using lemon juice as a coagulating agent. Subsequently, we develop a cream cheese substitute and analyze its rheological, physicochemical, and sensory properties in comparison with commercial cream cheese. The results indicated that a higher reaction rate constant (K) and a higher yield were obtained at 85 °C. For the preparation of the cream cheese substitute, three formulations were developed, differentiated by the type of hydrocolloids: M1 (0.11% guar gum, 0.11% xanthan gum, and 0.11% carob gum), M2 (0.165% guar gum and 0.165% xanthan gum), and M3 (0.165% guar gum and 0.165% carob gum). Samples M1, M2, and M3 presented a pseudoplastic fluid, while the Control sample presented a fluid closer to Newtonian, both with elastic behavior. At the physicochemical level, the M3 cream cheese substitute showed higher protein content and lower fat and moisture content than the commercial cream cheese. In the sensory analysis, the M3 sample showed greater perception of acidity, while the commercial cheese stood out in creaminess and spreadability, obtaining greater acceptance. The differences observed between the two products may be influenced by the composition of the milk used, affecting the structure and stability of the cream cheese.

    Abstract Quinoa seeds grown in the high Andean regions are susceptible to adulteration with seeds grown in other regions due to the increasing global demand. Therefore, characterising quinoa will help to develop a process for certifying origin. The aim was to determine the physical properties, sorption isotherms, and microstructural characteristics of three quinoa varieties grown at 2600 m and 3818 m above sea level. Samples were taken at both altitudes and their shape, size, colour, density, and adsorption isotherms were determined using the standard static gravimetric method. The results were fitted to six models and their microstructure was analysed using Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM). The size varies from 1.30 – 1.83 mm, the density is 966 - 1097 kg/m3. The isothermal curves show a type II behaviour according to the Brunauer-Emmett-Teller classification, the water in the monolayer ranges between 0.038 and 0.047 g H2O/g d.b. The water uptake was higher in seeds grown at 2600 m above sea level than at 3818 m. The starches have spherical and oval shapes with 25 μm and 30 μm diameter, respectively. The study demonstrated the feasibility of establishing physical differentiation criteria for altitude-adapted varieties to determine storage conditions, quality control, traceability, and denomination of origin.

    ABSTRACT Quinoa (Chenopodium quinoa willd) and lentils (Lens culinaris) are ingredients used to enrich or substitute gluten in pasta manufacture due to their high nutritional content. The objective of this work was to develop quinoa noodles with lentils that have similar or superior attributes compared to the product with gluten. Therefore, we evaluated the cooking properties (cooking quality, hydration, rheology), color, and texture profile of noodles developed with different concentrations (10%, 20%, and 30%) of lentil flour (LF) in comparison to commercial wheat pasta (control). ANOVA comparisons were performed on cooking and texture profile attributes, with the best treatment being the one with values that did not significantly differ from the control sample (T0). Thus, T3 (70% quinoa grits and 30% LF) is the formulation that presents better and/or similar attributes to those of the control sample.

    Willd.) is due to its high protein content and gluten-free condition; nonetheless, the presence of foreign bodies in quinoa processing facilities is an issue that must be addressed. As a result, convolutional neural networks have been adopted, mostly because of their data extraction capabilities, which had not been utilized before for this purpose. Consequently, the main objective of this work is to evaluate convolutional neural networks with a learning transfer for foreign bodies identification in quinoa samples. For experimentation, quinoa samples were collected and manually split into 17 classes: quinoa grains and 16 foreign bodies. Then, one thousand images were obtained from each class in RGB space and transformed into four different color spaces (L*a*b*, HSV, YCbCr, and Gray). Three convolutional neural networks (AlexNet, MobileNetv2, and DenseNet-201) were trained using the five color spaces, and the evaluation results were expressed in terms of accuracy and F-score. All the CNN approaches compared showed an F-score ranging from 98% to 99%; both color space and CNN structure were found to have significant effects on the F-score. Also, DenseNet-201 was the most robust architecture and, at the same time, the most time-consuming. These results evidence the capacity of CNN architectures to be used for the discrimination of foreign bodies in quinoa processing facilities.

    El estudio se desarrolló a 2926 m.s.n.m. en Andahuaylas - Perú. El objetivo fue determinar la influencia de la relación de agua y tiempos de proceso térmico, sobre el volumen de expansión y atributos sensoriales de pegajosidad, olor, textura y sabor, en granos de quinua variedad rosada taraco. Se consideró dos niveles de humedad y dos tiempos de tratamiento térmico. El estudio se llevó a cabo bajo un diseño central compuesto rotable. Se empleó el método de deslazamiento de volúmenes para determinar la expansión de los granos de quinua y la expansión de la masa dentro del envase. Para la evaluación de los atributos sensoriales se estableció una escala hedónica de 7 puntos. Determinándose 2,501 de volumen de expansión del grano a 16,291 minutos, para una relación de agua de 2,21:1 de quinua; y 4,458 de expansión en la masa de granos cocidos dentro del envase a 21,474 minutos para la misma relación de agua y quinua. De la evaluación sensorial se determinó granos cocidos extremamente pegajosos, según la escala hedónica, a 9,45 minutos a una relación de agua a 1,94:1 de quinua. En cuanto a olor se determinó granos con calificativo de gusta mucho, según la escala hedónica a 9,87 minutos de tratamiento térmico de cocción y relación de agua de 1,94:1 de quinua, en cuanto a textura los granos cocidos presentaron un calificativo de extremadamente firme, a 16,47 minutos y relación de agua de 0,79:1 de quinua; en cuanto a sabor presentó gusto moderado con tendiente a gusta mucho, en los granos cocidos a 12,36 minutos de tratamiento térmico y relación de agua de 2,21:1 de quinua. Concluyéndose que la relación de humedad influye independientemente sobre los atributos sensoriales de pegajosidad, olor, textura y sabor.
