SUMMARY The effect of white common bean addition on certain nutritional, physicochemical and textural properties of tortillas was determined. The maize-bean blends used were 100:0, 95:5, 90:10, 85:15, 80:20, and 75:25. The blends were processed using the traditional nixtamalization process. As the bean quantity increased in tortillas, higher protein, lysine, and tryptophan contents were registered. At 25% of bean addition, lysine and tryptophan content in tortillas increased from 56 and 36% of…

Study of the fortification with bean and amaranth flours in nixtamalized maize tortilla
The aim of this study was to compare the physicochemical, rheological and textural tortillas of nixtamalized maize flour fortified with common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris) and amaranth (Amaranthus spp.)…
Evaluation of the Content of Polyphenols, Antioxidant Activity and Physicochemical Properties of Tortillas Added with Bambara Groundnut Flour
The effect of substituting maize (masa) flour with Bambara groundnut flour in tortillas production was investigated. Thermal, antioxidant, physicochemical properties, degree of puffing and…
Effect of lupin flour incorporation of mechanical properties of corn flour tortillas
Tortillas alone provides 38.8% of the protein, 45.2% of the calories and 49.1% of the calcium in the diet of the general population, and in Mexican rural areas it provides approximately 70% of the…
Effect of germinated black bean cotyledons (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) as an extruded flour ingredient on physicochemical characteristics, in vitro digestibility starch, and protein of nixtamalized blue maize cookies
The aim of the study was to evaluate the effect of extruded germinated black bean cotyledon flour (EBB) as a substitute of nixtamalized blue maize (NBM) flour on proximal composition, physicochemical…
Nutrient Composition, Amino Acid Profile and Anti-nutritional Factors of Nixtamalized Maize Flour Supplemented with Sprouted Soybean Flour
The high dependence on maize as a staple food in Tropical Africa, coupled with its low nutritive value necessitate investigation on how to improve the nutritional value of maize based foods. The…
Textural, chemical and sensorial properties of maize tortillas fortified with nontoxic Jatropha curcas L. flour
TLDR
It is concluded that nontoxic J. curcas flour is an excellent option for increasing the protein value of tortilla quality and consumer acceptance was not affected.
Impact of different alkaline-heating processes on technological and nutritional properties of maize tortillas
Summary The effects of three different alkaline-cooking processes (gas-fired or traditional method, ultrasonic-bath and infrared heating) were evaluated on certain physicochemical, quality,…
Variation in Physical and Chemical Characteristics of Common Bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) Grain along a Domestication Gradient
TLDR
Some wild samples from Chihuahua and Durango, Mexico, showed to be a genetic resource to improve food quality, because of their richness in minerals, protein, lysine, tryptophan, and dietary fibers.

[Fortification and evaluation of the nixtamal tortillas].
TLDR
The results confirmed that the nixtamal tortilla fortified with 4% of defatted soy (TNS) showed 3% higher protein content than the TN and that higher values of those nutrients had a negative effect on the color and flavor of the product.
