Abstract

The invention relates to gluten-containing or gluten-free pasta containing fish roe hydrolyzed with the bromelain enzyme and the method of its production. Within the scope of the invention, fish roe is subjected to controlled enzymatic hydrolysis, followed by lyophilization to obtain a stable powder form. The resulting lyophilized fish roe powder is incorporated into gluten-containing or gluten-free pasta dough. This results in a pasta product that converts protein structures into lower molecular weight peptide structures, providing improved textural properties and enhanced nutritional value.

It encompasses the production process for the manufacture of cereal-based food products. protein-fortified pasta products and enzymatic food processing technologies It can be used in various fields. KNOWN TECHNIQUE Gluten-containing and especially gluten-free pasta products have become popular in recent years among people with celiac disease. food that has been widely developed due to consumers having alternative dietary preferences. It is among the products. However, gluten protein is a component of gluten-free pasta systems. Low elasticity due to lack of mesh, poor textural strength, baking During this process, significant technical problems arise, such as disintegration and poor protein quality. Therefore, the literature suggests that different protein sources can be used in gluten-free pasta. There are ongoing efforts to integrate them into these systems. In the known state of the art, the inclusion of plant-based protein sources in food products. There are various solutions regarding its implementation. For example, EP3434115A1 publication. document no. [number] natural binders in vegetarian or vegan food products The systems used are explained. The document in question describes plant-based products. Binding systems aimed at preserving structural integrity are described; controlled intake of complex nutritional components of animal origin, such as fish eggs. enzymatic hydrolysis and any technique for its integration into pasta products There is no single teaching document. Furthermore, the document in question uses the bromelain enzyme. controlled protein hydrolysis, lyophilization process or fish This does not explain how all the nutritional fractions of the egg are preserved. Therefore, the solutions in document EP3434115A1 involve using fish roe in pasta. the stability that emerges during its technical integration into the matrix, It fails to provide solutions to bioavailability and textural problems. Another known technical document is publication number WO2009048938A1. the document discusses quinoa-based processed cereal products and their use in food systems.

It becomes possible for it to exhibit a homogeneous distribution. The invention primarily involves obtaining fish eggs. The fish used... The eggs can be from freshwater or marine fish. Preferably trout, salmon, sturgeon, or similar fish high in protein and fat. Fish eggs can be used. Fish eggs are mixed with a certain amount of water to form a homogeneous suspension. They are brought in. Preferably, the ratio of fish roe to water is approximately 1:2 to 1:4 by weight. It is selected within a range. Thanks to the homogenization process, the egg structure is... suitable surface area for breakdown and subsequent enzymatic processing step This ensures its creation. The mixture obtained after homogenization is separated from the coarse particles. For this purpose, it can be subjected to centrifugation. Thanks to this process, a homogenous mixture is obtained. This ensures that large, non-existent particles are removed from the system. The resulting homogeneous mixture is then subjected to controlled enzymatic hydrolysis. This process involves adding bromelain enzyme to the mixture in controlled amounts. Bromelain enzyme breaks down protein structures into smaller peptides in a controlled manner. It acts as a proteolytic enzyme that enables the conversion of these structures. Preferably through hydrolysis;  approximately pH in the range of 6.0-7.0,  approximately in the temperature range of 50-60 °C,  It takes approximately 60-120 minutes to complete. In a different application, the process was carried out at approximately pH 6.5 and a temperature of approximately 55 °C. and is applied for approximately 80 minutes. Thanks to this controlled hydrolysis process, the contents of the fish eggs... conversion of protein structures into lower molecular weight peptide structures This ensures a more homogeneous product within the dough matrix. This makes dispersal possible. At the same time, the fish egg is directly dispersed. dense structure and low processability problems that may arise in its use is being reduced. In order to stop enzyme activity after the hydrolysis process is complete Enzyme inactivation is performed. In this process, the mixture is kept at approximately 70-75 °C. The process is carried out at a specific temperature for a certain period of time. Preferably, the process is done at a temperature of approximately 72 °C. It is applied in minutes. After enzyme inactivation, the mixture is filtered and particles are removed if necessary. A size reduction process is applied. Thanks to the filtration process, it becomes more homogeneous. An intermediate product of suitable consistency is obtained. The resulting product is then subjected to a lyophilization process. In the lyophilization process, the product is frozen and then processed under low pressure. They are dried. Thanks to this process, protein, phospholipids, and other nutrients from fish eggs are extracted. Preservation of the structural integrity of omega-3 fatty acid and natural pigment components. This also improves the storage stability of the product. Hydrolyzed fish egg stable powder obtained through lyophilization process. It is transformed into a pasta form. The resulting product has a low moisture content. It can be added to the dough in a controlled manner. In one application, a hydrolyzed and lyophilized fish egg product, It is mixed with a gluten-containing or gluten-free flour mixture. In gluten-containing applications, semolina is used. or wheat flour can be used. In gluten-free applications, rice flour can be used. cornmeal, buckwheat flour, chickpea flour, lentil flour, or combinations thereof. It is available for use. Preferably lyophilized fish roe product, by weight of the total flour amount. It is included in the dough formulation at a rate of approximately 2%-20%. More preferred In the implemented practice, this rate is approximately between 5% and 15%. The mixture is then kneaded with the addition of a specific amount of water to form pasta dough. is obtained. During the kneading process, the hydrolyzed fish roe product is extracted. The dough matrix is ​​designed to be homogeneous in its distribution. The resulting pasta dough is subjected to extrusion or shaping processes. is held in place. After shaping, the product is dried under controlled temperature to achieve the final result. Pasta product is obtained. The pasta product obtained within the scope of the invention contains hydrolyzed fish. more homogeneous distribution of egg-derived proteins within the dough matrix It has been observed that the textural integrity of the product has improved thanks to its 6-point display. Especially in gluten-free applications, reducing disintegration during baking and improving dough quality. This ensures increased stability. Furthermore, thanks to the controlled hydrolysis process carried out with the bromelain enzyme. intensive structural problems encountered in the direct use of fish eggs The amount of product reduced is obtained, resulting in a more processable intermediate product. Thanks to the lyophilization process, the product remains stable throughout its shelf life. It becomes possible to preserve them. In addition, fish eggs... protein, phospholipids, omega-3 fatty acids, and natural pigments found in its natural composition The components can be preserved together and transferred to the final pasta product. The product that is the subject of the invention in one application is short-cut pasta, long-cut pasta. It can be produced in the form of pasta, noodles, or extruded dough products. In another application, natural thickening agents are added to the dough formulation. Enhancers, fiber components, or plant-based protein sources may be included. However...
