This study evaluated the effects of adding glasswort hydrate containing non-meat ingredient (GM, carboxy methyl cellulose; GC, carrageenan; GI, isolated soy protein; GS, sodium caseinate) on the quality characteristics of reduced-salt, reduced-fat frankfurters. The pH and color evaluation showed significant differences, depending on the type of glasswort hydrate added (p<0.05). In the raw batte...

Reducing salt (NaCl) intake is an important public health target. The food industry and catering services are searching for means to reduce the salt content in their products. This review focuses on options for salt reduction in foods and the sensory evaluation of salt-reduced foods. Simple salt reduction, mineral salts and flavor enhancers/modifiers (e.g., umami compounds) are common options f...

Temperature, salt and water contents are key processing factors in dry-cured ham production. They affect how proteolysis, lipid oxidation, structure and texture evolve, and thus determine the sensory properties and final quality of dry-cured ham. The aim of this study was to quantify the interrelationships and the time course of (i) proteolysis, (ii) lipid oxidation, (iii) five textural paramet...

objective: to investigate the correlation between lower and higher order sensory functions and manual dexterity as well as to identify the sensory measures that could predict manual dexterity in patients with idiopathic parkinson’s disease (pd). materials and methods: in this cross-sectional study, 55 patients with idiopathic pd by mean age of 59.85 ± 11.89 years, and mean hoehn and yahr stage ...

Regarding the nutritional value and availability of acorns in west and southwest of Iran, the effects of partial substitution of wheat flour with acorn flour was investigated. Wheat flour was replaced by treated acorn flour in the formulation of sponge cake and the quality characteristics were evaluated. Density of cakes was increased with increasing the acorn flour. As the substitution degree ...

Terasi constitutes an Indonesian traditional fermented product made from shrimp or fish (or a mixture of both) at high salt concentration with without incorporating approved additional ingredients. With distinct flavor and solid texture (paste), terasi is widely consumed as seasoning ingredient, but it still produced using method that lacks quality inspection. Quality properties terasi, i.e., p...

Fat has an important role in creating texture, color and viscosity; but, it might be a source of many diseases in human. Mayonnaise is one of the most widely used sauces that contains fat in its formulation. There is an increase demand in reduction of the amount of fat in the diet or use of unsaturated fat. In the present study, mayonnaise samples containing various amounts of sesame oil were p...

Reducing the sodium content in foods is complex because of their multidimensional sensory characteristics and the multifunctionality of sodium chloride. The aim of this study was to elucidate how food composition may influence in-mouth sodium release and saltiness perception. Lipoprotein matrices (LPM) were produced using milk constituents and characterized by means of rheological measurements,...

the aim of this study was to investigate the effects of starters and storage temperature (4 ºc, 25 ºc) onmicrobiological and physicochemical properties, volatile compounds and sensory evaluation of kefir.kefirs produced by kfa and chr. hansen starters were stored at 4 ºc and 25 ºc for 40 days. ph andacidity at 4 ºc did not change (p ≥ 0.05), while at 25 ºc ph and total solid decreased as well a...
