New types of extruded snack pellets of wheat-corn blend base and fresh lucerne sprouts were developed. The aim of the study was to examine the effect of fresh lucerne sprouts addition on the water consumption, processing efficiency and the specific mechanical energy during production of wheat-maize snack pellets. Additionally, the total phenolic content and antiradical activity, as well as the water absorption and water solubility indices in samples processed under variable processing conditions were tested. The extrusion-cooking of blends consisted of 10, 20 and 30% of lucerne sprouts was carried out using a single screw extruder at screw speeds of 60 and 100 rpm, and at moisture contents of 32, 34 and 36%. Replacement of wheat-corn flour blends by fresh lucerne sprouts at various levels (10, 20 and 30%) enabled to sufficiently reduce technological water which is needed in extrusion-cooking process of snacks pellets. The limitation of water was from 89 to 100% if fresh lucerne sprouts were used, depending on the recipe and dough moisture level tested. Total phenolic content and antioxidant activity increased significantly due to lucerne sprouts addition. Furthermore, higher water absorption and water solubility index were noted if increased initial moisture content was applied during the processing of snack pellets. It can be concluded that fresh lucerne sprouts can be valuable additives, enabling to save the technological water in production process and to obtain nutritionally valuable supplemented wheat-corn-based snack pellets.

Polyphenols are one of the most numerous and ubiquitous groups of secondary plant metabolites, and constitute an integral part of both human and animal diets. These compounds possess a high spectrum of biological activities, including antioxidant, antibacterial, antiviral, anti-inflammatory, neuroprotective and cardioprotective. A lot of preclinical research and epidemiological data suggests that plant polyphenols reduce the risks of neurodegenerative diseases, cardiovascular disease, osteoporosis or diabetes and can slow the progression of cancers. These facts sugest that plant polyphenols might act as potential chemopreventive and anti-cancer agents. However, the levels of polyphenols that appear effective in vitro are often of an order of magnitude higher than the concentrations determined in vivo. This is a serious problem, as only a small part of the substance remain available following oral administration, due to insufficient gastric residence time, low permeability and solubility within the gut. An important element is polyphenols instability under conditions encountered in food processing and storage (oxygen, temperature, light), or in the gastrointestinal tract (enzymes, pH, other nutrients), all of which limit the activity of polyphenolic compounds. Another unfortunate trait of polypheonls is their potential unpleasant taste. In order to overcome these drawbacks, various formulation methods have been developed. Among them, encapsulation seems to be a promising technique to improve the effectiveness and the bioactivity of polyphenols. Moreover, it protects the core material from environmental factors. Microcapsules are small particulates that may range from submicron to several millimeters in size. Encapsulation methods can be classified in three groups: physical, physico-chemical, and chemical. The research studies reported in this paper revealed useful strategies to provide remarkable protection against harmful factors of polyphenolic compounds, avoiding the loss in activity and improving their bioavailability.
