Introduction

Deep-fat frying is a popular way to prepare tasty foods quickly(Mellema 2003). Frying is often selected as a method for cre-

ating unique flavors and texture in processed foods that improvetheir overall palatability (Moyano and Pedreschi 2006). Fried foodsnormally absorb great amounts of oil during frying. However, theystill remain popular although excess fat consumption is consideredas the key dietary contributor to high blood cholesterol, high bloodpressure, and coronary heart disease (Albert and Mittal 2002; Shihand others 2005).

Preparation of low-fat uptake doughnut . . .

Soybean oil (CJ Ltd.) was used as the frying medium for deep-fatfrying. Petroleum ether (Showa Ltd., Japan) and thimble filter (ToyoRoshi Kaisha Ltd., Japan) were used for measuring the amount of fatby soxhlet apparatus.

Preparation of microparticulated soybean hullsSoybean hulls were put in nylon mesh zipper bag (800 × 600 ×

20 mm) and washed with water, then dried at 40 ◦C for 17 h aftercentrifugal dehydration for 2 min. These were ground by a pin mill(Gyung-Chang Ltd., Korea). Soybean hulls after pin milling weremicroparticulated by jet mill (Model 100 AFG, Alpine Aktiengesell-shaft Augsburg, Germany) at cutoff wheel speed (CWS) of 10000rpm. Microparticulated soybean hulls were used for the guest ma-terials at dry particle coating.

Preparation of air-classified wheat flourWheat flour was classified into coarse and fine fraction at air

classifying wheel speeds (ACWS) of 1500 to 6000 rpm by an air clas-sifying system (Model 50 ATP, Alpine, Germany) (Bauder and others2004). The coarse fraction of wheat flour was used for the host ma-terial at dry particle coating.

Dry particle coatingThe coarse fraction of wheat flour was coated with the micropar-

ticulated soybean hulls by a hybridization system (NHS-0, Nara Ma-chinery, Japan) (Pfeffer and others 2001). The condition for dry par-ticle coating was 8000 rpm for 3 min at 0.6 MPa (air pressure). Theratio of wheat flour (host particles) to soybean hulls (guest parti-cles) was 99:1 (SH-1H), 95:5 (SH-5H), and 90:10 (SH-10H), respec-tively. The scheme is described in Figure 1.

FryingDoughnuts were prepared by conventional method. The for-

mula was whole wheat flour or soybean hull-wheat flour composite100 g, whole egg 40 g, sugar 45 g, butter 15 g, baking powder 3 g,and salt 1 g. Dough was made using a mixer (Bethel Ltd., Korea) ac-cording to straight dough method, then sheeted into discs, 3 cm indiameter and 0.3 cm high. These were fried in a controlled temper-ature deep-fat fryer (Princess 2627WA, Manhang Electronics Ltd.,China) filled with 3 L of commercial soybean oil. Soybean oil wasused as the frying medium and dough sheets were deep-fat fried insoybean oil at 180 ± 2 ◦C for 30 s for each side, and then 1 min foreach side instantly. After frying, the doughnuts were air-cooled atroom temperature on steel wire to remove excess surface oil.

Preparation of low-fat uptake doughnut . . .

Analysis of samplesParticle size analysis. Particles were analyzed for their size dis-

tribution using a laser diffraction particle size analyzer (Compag-nie Industrielle Des Lasers, CILAS 1064, France). Particles were sus-pended in distilled water and sonication and magnetic stirring dur-ing the measurement.

Colorimetric measurements. Assays were carried out with aMinolta colorimeter (CR-300, Minolta, Japan) calibrated with astandard (Y = 93.2, x = 0.3133, y = 0.3192). The Hunter scale wasused: lightness (L) and chromacity parameters a (red–green) and b(yellow–blue) were measured.

Fat content. Fat contents of doughnuts were determined ondried samples using a combined technique of successive batch andsemicontinuous Soxhlet extraction for 18 h using petroleum etheras a solvent.

Scanning electron microscope (SEM). The microstructuresof formulated powder were examined using a scanning elec-tron microscope (model S-2380N, Hitachi Ltd., Japan). Thefried samples were fixed in 2.5% glutaraldehyde buffer with0.1 M phosphate buffer at pH 7.4, which were fixed cold (4 ◦C) in thesame buffer for 1 to 2 h, then rinsed 3 times for 30 min, dehydratedin ethanol, and lyophilized (Khalil 1999). After that, small amountsof powder (< 0.1 g) were applied onto double-face tape (Toyo Ink.Inc., Japan) attached to the top of a stub (12-mm dia) and then ex-cess was removed from the stub by a jet of air using an air blower(Hansa Inc., Japan) and coated for 60 s with gold-palladium in anE-1010 ion sputter coater (Hitachi Ltd.). The surface of the particleswas observed at 18 kV, and a representative image on a screen wasprinted.

Texture analysis. Hardness and crispiness of doughnuts weremeasured by a texture analyzer (TA HD plus, Stable Micro SystemsLtd., U.K.) equipped with 5.1 N load cell. Doughnuts were subjectedto single-cycle compression–decompression test to a penetrationdepth of 10 mm using a cylindrical probe of 2.54 cm (1 inch) diame-ter at a test speed of 2 mm/s. The maximum force value was consid-ered to be an indication of the overall hardness and the linear dis-tance was considered as an indication of crispiness. The greater thelinear distance, the crisper the product (Nalesnik and others 2007).

Sensory evaluation. Sensory evaluation of doughnuts was car-ried out for appearance, flavor, crispiness, taste, and general likingon 9-point hedonic scale (1 = extremely dislike and 9 = extremelylike) by a trained panel of 10 members.

Statistical analysisData were interpreted by analysis of variance (ANOVA) with

Duncan’s multiple range tests on SPSS 10.0 software (SPSS Inc.,Chicago, Ill., U.S.A.). Statistical significance was expressed at the 5%level.

Results and Discussion

Preparation of microparticulated soybeanhulls and air-classified wheat flour

When soybean hulls were washed in a nylon mesh zipper bag,the recovery of soybean hulls was 97.3%. The mean diameter ofstarting materials for jet milling after pin milling was 204 μm andthe mean diameter of the microparticulated soybean hulls at CWSof 10000 rpm was 10.97 μm (Table 1). The L value was higher thanthat of the original one. Wheat flour was classified into fine andcoarse fraction according to the ACWS (Table 2), in which wheatflour of 76.06 μm of mean diameter was used for dry coating withsoybean hulls.

Dry particle coatingThe scheme of dry particle coating process is described in

Figure 1. Generally, in a hybridization system, the powders (hostand guest particles) placed in a processing part of the vessel aresubject to high impaction and dispersion due to the high rotat-ing speed of the rotor (Pfeffer and others 2001). The particles un-dergo many collisions, which allow the formation of fine agglom-erates and powder coating due to the embedding or filming of theguest particles on the surface of the host particles (Pfeffer and oth-ers 2001). Although there are many factors affecting the effective-ness of dry particle coating, the size difference between host andguest particles has been thought to be the most important (Pfefferand others 2001). In this study, wheat flour and soybean hulls wereused as host and guest particles, respectively.

Figure 2 shows microparticulated soybean hulls, coarse frac-tion of wheat flour, and composites. Spherical materials are wheatflour (starch) and small nonspherical materials are soybean hulls,in which the higher the content of soybean hulls, the more ef-fectively soybean hulls were coated into starch, indicating thatcoating efficiency is proportional to the content of guest soybeanhulls.

When it comes to color, there was no significant change in red-ness. But as the content of soybean hulls increased, the L value de-creased and the b value increased, which means that the brightnessdecreased because of an increase in the content of soybean hulls(Table 3).

FryingTo investigate the effect of dry particle coating of soybean hulls

on fat uptake, 4 different types of soybean hull–wheat flour com-posites were prepared at different amounts of substituted soybeanhulls: WF-100 (wheat flour), SH-1H, SH-5H, and SH-10H. In thecomposites, the higher the content of soybean hulls, the lower thefat uptake. In case of SH-1H, SH-5H, and SH-10H, about 11.5%,13.6%, and 35.8% of fat content were decreased, respectively (from40.5 ± 3.2 to 35.8 ± 4.9, 35.6 ± 1.7, and 26.0 ± 1.1) (P < 0.05) (Fig-ure 3). In the mixtures, SH-5M (mixture of wheat flour and soybeanhulls, ratio 95:5) and SH-10M (mixture of wheat flour and soybeanhulls, ratio 90:10) showed decreases about 13.8% and 27.7% of fat

content, respectively (from 40.5 ± 3.2 to 34.9 ± 2.5 and 29.3 ± 1.5)(P < 0.05) (Figure 4). These results indicate that soybean hulls mightform a rigid protective layer and consequently prevent the oil pen-etration into the doughnut. In addition, the soybean hull–wheatflour composites were more effective for limiting fat uptake thanthe mixtures. Incidentally, reduction of fat uptake in cakes andcookies was observed when wheat flour was partially substitutedwith soybean hulls by simple mixing (Ku and others 1996).

Figure 5 shows that inner crust morphology of doughnuts byscanning electron microscope. WF-100 showed ruptured cells withlarge void spaces due to migration of water. In contrast, althoughSH-1H showed the similar structure of WF-100, SH-5H showedslight reduction in cell size and improved cellular integrity withshrinkage in the cell membrane, and SH-10H showed a higherdegree of shrunken structure with cellular integrity. These re-sults are similar to previous studies (Khalil 1999; Kim and others2008), which might explain the results of differences in fat uptake(Figure 4).

Generally, fat in deep-fat fried food products produces an at-tractive and tasty surface (Garcia and others 2002). When fat con-tent decreases, sensory characteristics might be affected. There-fore, there is a need for research on texture properties, chromaticity,and sensory evaluation.

Table 4 shows the changes in the hardness and the crispiness ofdoughnut at different contents of soybean hulls with which wheatflour was coated. It was found that there was a gradual increasein the hardness and crispiness value with content of soybean hulls(P < 0.05). When it comes to mixtures of soybean hulls and wheatflour, similar results were observed.

Table 3 shows differences of color value of composites, sheets,and doughnuts. As the content of soybean hulls increased, thebrightness decreased, which might be associated with color of

soybean hulls. This loss of brightness might cause a negativeeffect on sensory value (Table 5). However, sensory evaluationshowed that there were no significant differences in appear-ance, flavor, crispiness, taste, and general liking (P < 0.05), al-though SH-10H showed a little low value in appearance (Table 5);therefore, by controlling the amount of soybean hulls, low-fat up-take fried products with high sensory value can be prepared.

Cellulose derivatives have been used as ingredients for fryingbatters or edible coatings for deep-fat frying. These have beenknown to form a protective layer between food samples and fryingmedium to inhibit the transfer of moisture and fat (Mallikarjunanand others 1997; Garcia and others 2002). Although soybean hullshave been known to have similar effects (Ku and others 1996), theyhave not been utilized in the food industry, but only in animal feeds(Noblet and Le Goff 2001; DeFrain and others 2003). However, theabove-mentioned results indicate that soybean hulls can be appliedto the high value-added food industry. In addition, by controllingthe amount of soybean hulls, a low-fat uptake doughnut with littlesoy flavor could be prepared.

Conclusions

The soybean hulls were microparticulated by jet mill and weredry-coated to the wheat flour by hybridization system at dif-

ferent ratios. These composites were applied to reduce fat uptakeof doughnuts in frying. The coating efficiency is proportional to thecontent of guest soybean hulls. About 11.5% and 35.8% of fat con-tent were reduced by using SH-1H and SH-5H, respectively. Gen-erally, when fat content decreases, sensory characteristics mightbe affected. Although SH-10H showed a little low value in appear-ance, there was no significant difference in flavor, crispiness, taste,and general liking. It is concluded that low-fat uptake doughnuts
