Caracterização tecnológica de misturas pré-cozidas de arroz com café por extrusão termoplástica

Abstracts

Although Brazil is a country of tradition in both the production and consumption of coffee, the most of the coffee is consumed as a beverage, which reduces greatly the competitiveness on international market, for reducing the chances of supplying the product under other forms of consumption. Owing to that, the aim of this study was developing a precooked mixed flour containing coffee powder and rice for use in coffee flavored products. Mixtures of rice and coffee in the proportions of 900:100, 850:150 and 800:200 g, respectively, were processed in a single screw extruder (Brabender DS-20, Duisburg, German) and the effect of the extrusion process on the variables moisture content (16%, 18% and 20%) and temperature in the third extruding zone (140 °C, 160 °C and 180 °C) was studied. The results for expansion index ranged from 2.91 to 11.11 mm in diameter; the water absorption index from 4.59 to 6.33 g gel/g sample and the water solubility index varied from 4.05% to 8.57%. These results showed that, despite coffee powder influenced the variables studied, the expanded product after milling resulted in a extruded mixture with good absorption and water solubility indices, which favors the use of the precooked mixed flour for human consumption.

1 Introduction

Coffee is an important product in the Brazilian export agenda. It is a great employment generator and fixer of labor force in the field. It is estimated that it employs about four million people in its production, but considering all the segments involved (production, industry, commerce and services), this number reaches 10 million (CENÁRIO, 2001).

According to ABIC (ASSOCIAÇÃO..., 2012), the Brazilian domestic consumption of green coffee keeps on growing in a marked way. In 2010, the consumption was 4.81 kg per inhabitant, a volume that overcomes the 4.72 kg recorded in 1965 by IBC (Brazilian Coffee Institute), up to the greatest already recorded value. That result arises from the annual evaluation performed by ABIC in "Indicators of the Coffee Industry in Brazil in 2010. These results were estimated by the research area that studies "Home Production and Consumption Performance", which analyzed industry data from November/2009 to October/2010. In the same way, the per capita consumption of toasted and milled coffee was 4.42 kg, almost 74 L per Brazilian inhabitant per year, recording a growth of 3.5% in the previous period, which was 4.5% in the last survey. ABIC ascribed the consumption growth to a number of factors that has been repeating for years in a lasting and consistent way, such as the continuous improvement of coffee quality, market consolidation of type Gourmet or Special coffees, growth of out-of-home consumption, perception on health benefits of coffee, besides the improvement of economic conditions in Brazil.

Another factor that may be related to the growing consumption of coffee in Brazil is its use as an ingredient in the production and diversification of a wide range of food products, such as teas, cakes, puddings, espresso, gourmet, instant, soluble, cappuccino, frappuccino, candies, among others. (ORMOND; PAULA; FAVERET FILHO, 1999). According to Saes and Jayo (1998), it is possible to extract a sort of oil from the coffee bean, which can be used in food and cosmetic industries. Within this context, both industry and research centers are increasingly seeking to provide consumers with potential market niches such as new coffee-based products, resulting in increased consumption.

On the other hand, rice is a starch-containing cereal that besides the consumption in the processed and polished form, it is used to a lesser extent as industrial raw material for the production of breakfast cereals, hypoallergenic products, infant formulas, low calorie foods, sake, pre-gelatinized flours, snacks, starch and others (LUNDUBWONG; SEIB, 2000).

Despite the lower cost, rice flour is produced on a small scale for not presenting competitive application as compared to wheat flour. However, several characteristics of rice flour may be further explored such as: not allergenic; wide range of amylose content of some varieties; safe for people with celiac disease so it may be a substitute for wheat in gluten-free food; soft texture after cooking provided by the small size of starch granules and mild flavor (POLANCO et al., 1995); low levels of sodium and high proportion of easily digestible starches (TORRES et al., 1999).

Extrusion is a cooking and molding process developed in the 1960's to give physical and chemical functionality to food products. At present, important technological parameters for the starch industry such as expansion index, absorption, solubility and viscosity of dough have been used as an alternative in evaluating the use or diversification of products and by-products for human consumption. Besides the technological purposes, extrusion, in most cases, allows the beneficial effects of nutritional or functional order, since it enables the processing of mixtures of different sources of proteins, fibers and other nutrients. As a result, several studies have been carried out in order to use food sources with nutritive and functional potential, but in most cases are wasted, poorly used or undervalued as a main raw material. As examples of these products, we mention the pre-gelatinized rice flours with jaboticaba peel (ASCHERI et al., 2006); instant soup based on amaranth and broken rice (MENDONÇA, 2005); pre-cooked pasta based on whole quinoa and rice (BORGES et al., 2003); precooked corn and soybean flour (FERNANDES, 2002); instant flours produced from corn, casein and yeast extract (ALVIM, 2001); porridges rice with soybean hulls (MAIA et al., 1999), among others.

Owing to that, this study aims to extrude mixtures of broken rice and dark-colored coffee powder, both considered low-priced raw materials in commerce and verify through parameters such as expansion index, absorption and solubility in water, the viability of these precooked mixtures to be used as ingredients of bread making products.

2 Materials and methods

2.1 Raw material

Broken rice packed in 5.0 kg plastic bags totaling 25.00 kg and toasted and milled coffee (arabica) obtained by traditional toasting (dark) according to the manufacturer's specification, packed in 500 g bags totaling 6.0 kg was used. Both raw materials used in this study were purchased from the market of Campo Grande, Rio de Janeiro. Bean milling for obtaining rice flour was performed in a hammer and knife chipper mill using a mesh sieve with 1 mm diameter. Shortly after milling, the flour was homogenized for 5 minutes in dough blender type Werner Peleiderer to standardize moisture content. Next, it was packed in plastic bags and stored under refrigeration until the beginning of the extrusion process. The small bags of coffee powder were opened and milled again in a chipper hammer blade mill by using the same sieve in order to obtain a more homogeneous particle size. In the same way, they were packed in plastic bags and stored under refrigeration until the process.

The coffee powder and the rice flour presented the following average composition g/100 g sample: 4.89 g and 12.44 g moisture, 11.60 g and 0.69 g lipids, 15.75 g and 7.32 g crude protein, 62.92 g and 79.08 g total carbohydrates, 4.84 g and 0.47 g ash, 14.22 g and 1.57 g total fibers and caloric value of 419.08 kcal and 351.81 kcal for the coffee powder and broken rice, respectively.

The preparation of the raw materials was carried out in the Cereal Laboratory, Pilot Plant IV, extrusion sector in Embrapa Food Agroindustry, Rio de Janeiro.

The thermoplastic extrusion process of the mixture containing rice flour and coffee powder was performed in a single screw extruder Brabender, model 20 DN, with extrusion system by mechanic friction, temperature control system in the jacket, variable speed and production capacity of 10.5 kg.h - 1. The process parameters were: extrusion temperature in the 1st and 2nd zone, (60 and 120 °C), respectively; width of the screw (10 mm); die opening (3 mm), screw compression rate (3:1) and feeding rate (16 g.min - 1). The independent variables moisture of raw material (15 to 21%), temperature in the 3rd zone (126 to 194 °C), screw rotation (126 to 194) and percentage of coffee in the mixture (7 to 23%) ranged according to that established in the experimental design.

Expanded samples were collected by hand at the exit of the die so that the extrudate was kept as straight as possible after cooling to room temperature to facilitate the calculation of the expansion index. The extrudates were submitted to dehydration in an oven at 50 °C for 15 hours and then cooled and milled in disc mill Perten, model 3.600 with a 0.5 mm sieve, labeled and stored in plastic bags under refrigeration until the analyses.

2.2 Statistical analyses

To analyze the combined effect of independent variables on the technological characteristics of the extrudates, a statistically designed experiment in response surface methodology of the second order rotational central type was established (ANDERSON et al., 1969). By introducing these designs in the study of second-degree polynomials adjusted to experimental data, we aimed to minimize the number of treatments. The process parameters established as independent variables (moisture of the flour, extrusion temperature and percentage of coffee in the mixture) were investigated at three levels codified at - 1, 0, and +1.

Through a regression analysis, a second order polynomial can be adjusted to each response (Y) as the explicative variables (Xk). The general expression used to predict the behavior of each measured response can be written as follows (Equation 1):

where: Yi = response function; X1, X2, X3 = independent variables values; β0 = coefficient relative to the interpretation of the plan with the axis response; β1, β2, β3 = linear coefficients estimated by the least squares method; β11, β23, β33 = coefficients of the quadratic variables; β12, β13, β23 = coefficients of interaction between the independent variables; ε = experimental error.

The experiment was conducted in a 23 full factorial design with three factors or independent variables (temperature, moisture and percent of coffee in the mixture). The complete design is presented in Table 1. The ranges between the lower and upper limit for each variable were determined by preliminary tests.

The significance of the model was tested by the analysis of variance (ANOVA) by using the F distribution test, whereby a regression model is significant at a certain level of significance when the distribution value of F calculated test is greater or equal the F tabulated test at this significance level. The greater the calculated F test, the more predictive the model is (BOX; DRAPER, 1987).

From the regression equation obtained by varying two variables while the third one remains constant, it was possible to design three-dimensional graphics of response surface with the aid of the computer program Basic Statistcs and Tables. Data processing and statistical analysis were assessed by Statistica STATSOFT program (1996).

2.3 Physical and functional analyses of the extrudates

Expansion index (IE)

IE was calculated as the ratio between the diameters of the extrudates (mm) and the diameter of the extruder die (mm). Diameter measurements were done on the surfaces of the uniform sample with the aid of a pachymeter. The value obtained was considered as the arithmetic mean of 10 measurements from each treatment or sample according to the methodology proposed by Faubion, Hoseney and Seib (1982) and calculated by the equation bellow:

EI = diameter of the extrudates/diameter of the extruder die

Water absorption index (WAI) and water solubility index (WSI)

The determinations of WAI and WSI of the extruded precooked flour followed the methodology described by Anderson et al. (1969) and adapted for this study. All determinations were performed in duplicate. For the calculation of WAI, approximately 1g sample (with particle size of 150 mesh) and 10 mL of distilled water at 30 °C were placed in previously weighed centrifuge tubes. The tubes were shaken for 30 minutes in a mechanical shaker, while keeping at 30 °C in water bath type Reciprocal Shaking Bath Model 50, followed by centrifugation at 3500 rpm for 15 minutes. The supernatant was placed carefully over a previously weighed Petri dish that was transferred to an oven at 50 °C until constant weight. The remaining gel (wet sample) was weighed and WAI was calculated according to the formula bellow (Equation 2).

WSI was determined from the evaporation of the supernatant obtained in the previous test by the following equation (Equation 3):

3 Results and discussion

3.1 Expansion index (IE)

The expansion index (IE) of extruded starch is of great importance in evaluating the product quality as well as monitoring the extrusion process, since it is possible to verify whether the raw material used after the processing possesses suitable structure and composition for use as a food ingredient.

Analysis of variance (ANOVA) of the statistical model applied in the interaction of independent variables and the response rate of expansion index for the extruded mixture of coffee powder and rice flour is presented in Table 2.

Statistically, the variation due to the regression was significant at 95% probability level (p < 0.05) with an estimated coefficient value (R2) of 0.93737, accounting for 93.737% of the total variation of the IE mean value, ascribing only 6.263% to the residues. The statistical model and experimental data were adjusted accordingly, once the variation for lack of adjustment presented no significance.

The Pareto diagram (Figure 1) shows that only the variables mixture, moisture and temperature in the linear form were statistically significant at 95% probability, presenting negative effects, which indicates that the value of IE is inversely proportional to the increase of these variables. Nevertheless, the variable mixture in the linear form caused the greatest influence on the values obtained for IE, followed by the effect of moisture and temperature.


The highest IE was obtained when the mixture was processed at 140 °C and 160 °C with 16% and 18% moisture and 10% and 7% coffee powder in the formulation, respectively, reaching average values of 11.11 mm diameter. However, the high total fiber content present in the coffee powder significantly influenced the IE of the extrudates as it increased the percentage in the mixture. Thus, samples that were processed with high moisture content (20%), high percentage of coffee powder in the mixture (20%) and temperature above (180 °C) presented the lowest value of IE (2.91 mm diameter). Mendonça (2005) investigated 20 to 40% replacement levels of whole amaranth flour in the mixture with broken rice and found a low IE with increasing the content of amaranth flour in the formulation, since the product had high fiber content due to it was processed with hull.

Jeltema, Zabik and Thiel (1983) cites that food extruded formulations with ingredients of low starch and high fiber levels result in products with hard texture, increased moisture retention and reduced expansion. According to these authors, this reduction is related to the presence of components of high water-holding capacity; besides, the fiber polymers are not easy to expand.

3.2 Water absorption index (WAI)

The gelatinized granules absorb more water than the starch granules in their natural state. In addition, proteins may contribute to increase or decrease WAI, due to changes in their molecular structure such as changing the hydrophilic-hydrophobic balance, among other factors caused by extrusion (CARDOSO, 1993). Cereda, Vilpoux and Franco (2003) reported that rice starch absorbs water in the following proportions at different temperatures: 0% at 30 °C, 300% at 60 °C and 1000% at 70 °C.

The results of the analysis of variance (ANOVA) adjusted to water absorption index of the mixture are presented in Table 3. The regression model adopted for this parameter was significant at 95% probability (p < 0.05), presenting a multiple correlation coefficient (R2) of 0.86918, accounting for 86.918% of the total variation of the mean WAI; 13.082% are attributed to the residues. Therefore, the experimental data for the response variable studied pointed out a good adjustment to the quadratic model proposed.

Figure 2 shows that only the linear variable T was not significant (p < 0.05); all the other variables and their interactions contributed towards WAI variation. Nevertheless, the variables that presented higher contribution indices in negative importance order were the linear variables M and U and the interactions U × T and U × M, according to Pareto diagram, reflecting thus, the decrease of WAI value. However, the greatest effect was attributed to the linear variable M, indicating that the WAI variation was inversely proportional to the addition of coffee powder into the mixture, that is, the higher the percentage of coffee powder in the mixture the lower WAI is. Only the quadratic variables M2, U2, T2 and the T x M presented positive effects, contributing towards a real increase of the WAI value.


High values of moisture during the extrusion process followed by low shearing rates reduce the attrition of the screw and the internal wall of the extruding tube upon the starch molecules. Once water acts as a lubricant in the medium, it results on lower degradation of both amylose and amylopectin and, hence, increased WAI. Therefore, the highest value of WAI (6.33 g gel/g dry matter) was obtained when the samples were processed with moisture contents of 18% and 20% and temperatures of 160 °C and 180 °C respectively. On the other hand, the lowest value of WAI (4.59 g gel/g dry matter) was found when the mixture was processed with high moisture content and high percentage of coffee powder.

Maia et al. (1999) investigated the effect of extrusion on WAI of pre-gelatinized mixed rice and soybean hull flours. The authors found a negative interaction at WAI, that is, as increased proportions of soybean hull were added to the mixture, a decreased in WAI was observed. These results corroborate with the present study, as the total fiber present in the coffee powder decreased the water absorption index of the extruded mixture.

WAI did not decrease at temperatures of 160 and 180 °C and with lower contents of coffee powder in the mixture (7 to 10%). Nevertheless, when higher percentages of coffee powder were added to the process, a significant decrease of the WAI occurred. The behavior of WAI is a function of the interaction between the chemical constituents and the food system studied. With increasing temperature, solubilization of starches and denatured proteins take place. Thus, the effect of the total fiber, mainly in relation to the changes in water solubility and in soluble and insoluble fibers in the extrusion process must be considered.

Owusu-Ansah, Van Der Voort and Stanley (1983) observed in the extrusion process of cornstarch that the interaction between moisture and temperature had most significant effect on the responses of WAI. On the other hand, Borges (2002) and Silva (2002) extruded other sorts of mixed flours and found that the variable temperature little influenced WAI values.

Research has shown that it is very difficult to compare WAI values of different products, for they depend upon experimental conditions such as temperature, time and centrifugation speed as well as the method of sample preparation, particularly the drying process of the product (CÉSPEDES, 1999).

3.3 Water solubility Index (WSI)

The water solubility index is a parameter that reflects the degree of starch degradation, that is, the sum of the effects on the extrusion process of gelatinization, dextrinization and consequent solubilization (WHALEN et al., 1997).

The analysis of variance (ANOVA) in Table 4 shows the results for the quadratic regression model of WSI adjusted well to the proposed scheme. The variation due to the regression was statistically significant at 95% probability (p < 0.05), presenting a value of determination coefficient (R2) of 0.90317, which accounts for 90.317% of the total variation of the response variable around the mean; 9.683% are ascribed to the residues. There is no evidence of lack of adjustment of the model to the experimental data.

In the Pareto diagram shown in Figure 3 it can be seen that the linear variable T and the quadratic T2 and U2 and the interaction U × T were not significant (p < 0.05). All other variables contributed in a negative or positive way in the adjustment of the model.


The linear variables U and M, due to the extrusion process, presented the highest negative values, bringing about a decrease in WSI value. However, the negative variable U affected the WSI in a greater extent, indicating that the variation of the WSI value was inversely proportional to the moisture content.

The variable M2 and the interactions U x M and T x M presented positive effect. However, the interaction U × M caused the greatest influence in WSI, showing that low moisture and coffee powder contents in the mixture resulted into increased WSI values.

Therefore, there is a tendency of decreasing the WSI values as a function of increased levels of moisture contents and temperature in the mixture above 15%. The interaction of the variable moisture and mixture acted positively in increasing WSI values to some extent. Low values of moisture and low percentages of coffee powder into the mixture resulted in an increase of WSI values. Thus, the highest and the lowest value of WSI were obtained at 140 and 160 °C with 16% and 21% moisture and 10% and 15% coffee powder in the mixture, determining an average value of 8.57 and 4.05 g gel/g dry matter.

Anderson et al. (1969) found that the WSI of extruded corn increases with increasing extrusion temperature when the moisture content of the mixture is low (15%). In the experiment of these authors, moisture ranged from 15 to 25% and temperature from 121 to 229 °C. These reports are in accordance with the present study for the results obtained with the extruded mixtures of rice flour and coffee powder.

Mendonça (2005) studied different percentages of extrusion mixture of broken rice and whole amaranth flour and observed similar results to the present study.

The interactions of the variables temperature and mixture during the extrusion process were significant in the increase of WSI values, since as the temperature increased to a certain limit and the percent of coffee powder in the mixture decreased, an increase in WSI value is found. Dibós (1993) studied defatted soybean flour and found that WSI increased with increasing temperature and soybean protein content, reaching its maximum value at temperatures above 120 °C and protein contents near 25%. Souza (2003) extruded cassava flour with different percentages of Brazil nut flour and found that the increase in the percentage of nut flour in the mixture decreased WSI. These studies are in accordance with the present study, reinforcing the argument that mixtures of starch products with dietary fibers submitted to the extrusion process only produce the functional and nutritional effects when mixed at ideal concentrations and adequate processing conditions.

4 Conclusions

The composition of coffee powder containing high content of total fibers exerted significant influence on the extrudates of the mixtures, causing lower expansion rate. However, the higher shear rates imposed by the extrusion process in the different treatments showed that there was some modification and good cooking degree on the extruded samples. The properties of expansion index, solubility and water absorption of the extrudates showed that it is possible their use as ingredients in food products thus providing coffee flavor characteristics to the products produced from these mixtures.
