Effect of virgin coconut meal (VCM) on the rheological, micro-structure and baking properties of cake and batter
Virgin coconut meal (VCM) cakes were prepared by replacing refined wheat flour (maida) (5 to 20 % level) to check its effect on chemical, textural and rheological attributes of cake. The addition of VCM significantly (p ≤ 0.05) increased redness (a*), yellowness (b*) while reduced lightness (L*) of cakes. The incorporation of VCM affects the hardness, adhesiveness gumminess and chewiness of cake. The effect of flour replacement with VCM increased the viscosity of batter which leads to increase in consistency index and lower the shearthining behavior. The viscoelastic behavior of cake batter in which elastic modulus (G’) and viscous modulus (G”) both were decreased with the increase in percentage of VCM. The differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) analysis revealed that the onset (To), end set (Tc) and enthalpy of gelatinization (ΔH) increased with the increased level of VCM.
Farelo de coco na ração de poedeiras comerciais: digestibilidade dos nutrientes, desempenho e qualidade dos ovos
This experiment was conducted to evaluate the effect of inclusion of coconut meal (CM) in diets on nutrients digestibility, performance and egg characteristics of commercial laying hens. A total of 150 laying hens, with 76 weeks of age was weighed and allotted to a completely randomized design with five treatments and five replicates of six birds in each experimental unit. Five diets were evaluated, one control, without CM and the others with 5, 10, 15, and 20% of CM. Diets were formulated to be isoprotein and isonitrogenous. Amounts of EE, CF and GE increased with inclusion of CM in diets. A quadratic effect was observed for the inclusion levels of CM on digestibility coefficients for DM, N, GE and the values of apparent metabolizable energy (AME) and N corrected apparent metabolizable energy (AMEn) that reached the maximum at 15% of inclusion. Values of AME and AMEn were higher in diets containing 10, 15, and 20% of CM than that for diet without CM. Egg production, egg weight and egg mass were not affected by the inclusion levels of CM. Feed intake decreased and feed conversion improved as CM level increased in diets. Considering the results of dietary digestible energy, it could be recommended that coconut meal inclusion in the laying hen diet should not exceed the level of 15%.
