Abstract: Mangosteen (Garcinia mangostana) pericarp is
considered as agricultural waste and not fully utilized in food
products. It is widely reported that mangosteen pericarp contains high
antioxidant properties. The objective of this study is to develop novel
yellow alkaline noodle (YAN) substituted with different levels of
mangosteen pericarp powder (MPP). YAN formulation was
substituted with different levels of MPP (0%, 5%, 10% and 15%).
The effect on nutritional and antioxidant properties was evaluated.
Higher substitution levels of MPP resulted in significant increase

Abstract: Flours of wheat, chestnut, acorn and lupin were
evaluated in relation to phenolic compounds, antioxidant activity, and
oxalate content. At the chemical level the results show some
variability between samples by type of flour, and the sample of
chestnut flour presented the higher value of oxalate (0.00348
mg/100g) when compared to the other samples in the study.
Considering the content of phenolic compounds, the sample that
stood out was the acorn flour, having a high value of 0.812 g
AGE/100 g. All the samples presented intermediate content of
antioxidant activity and the sample that showed a slightly higher
value was the wheat flour with a value of 0.746 mM TRE/g sample.
