Purpose: Protein quality refers to the total protein content, essential amino acid content, and digestibility of a protein. Source, bioavailability, food matrix, and processing conditions all have an impact on protein quality. Protein quality can be lost during food processing. This study was carried out to investigate the effect of extrusion cooking and blend proportions on the protein quality of extruded ready-to-eat baby foods.
Methodology: Different blends of orange-fleshed sweet potato, amaranth seeds, and soybean flour were used and analyzed for protein quality including in vitro protein digestibility (IVPD) of extruded ready-to-eat baby foods. In addition, nutrient damage due to heat or processing temperature was evaluated by analyzing available lysine in the end products to ensure the quality of extruded ready-to-eat baby foods. Extrusion cooking was carried out at a temperature of 90oC, screw speed of 400 rpm, and feed moisture content of 35%.
Findings: The results showed that IVPD ranged from 54.05 to 91.87%. The available lysine as a parameter to evaluate the nutritional damage due to thermal processing ranged from (1.69 to 2.79%). This research predicts the potential availability of highly digestible protein as well as the assurance of lysine availability once extrudates are consumed. Achieving high lysine retention during extrusion cooking depends on a number of factors, including low temperature, high screw speed, high feed moisture content, and high shear forces that lead to a short residence time.
Recommendation: It is important to conduct more research on how extrusion cooking affects the molecular and physical interactions between starches, proteins, lipids, and phenolic compounds.
