A recent trend in food industry is to develop lactose free food products due to the large number of consumers suffering from lactose intolerance. In this study, lactose free desserts were developed by using two different starches; waxy maize and amylomaize. Concentrations of waxy maize and amylomaize were 0.032, 0.040, 0.048 g/ml and 0.064, 0.072, 0.080 g/ml, respectively. Lower concentration of waxy maize starch was enough for body formation and gel like structure, implying waxy maize was more effective in dessert production. Also the effects of gum type and concentration on the physical properties of lactose free desserts were investigated. Guar, arabic and κ-carrageenan gums were used at two different concentrations (1% and 0.5%) in the formulations. Among them κ-carrageenan was the most effective one, leading by guar and arabic gum. Increasing gum concentrations led to improvement in the textural properties of dairy desserts. Effect of sucrose concentrations (0.10 g/ml and 0.14 g/ml) on waxy maize and amylomaize was different. Addition of sucrose caused decrease in textural properties of waxy maize starch containing desserts, on the other hand sucrose addition increased textural properties of amylomaize containing desserts. In addition, lactose free dessert formulation containing the same concentration of sucrose with lactose containing desserts was less liked by the panelists. Therefore, it is required to reduce the amount of sucrose in lactose free dessert production. Lactose free dessert with reduced sucrose was the most acceptable formulation in terms of texture also. Color of different dessert formulations was similar. NMR spin-spin relaxation times were obtained for desserts with different formulations in order to better understand molecular level of gelatinization and results showed that starch and gums compete for water in the medium. Comparison of lactose containing and lactose free desserts was carried out too. Results show that texture of desserts were similar when waxy maize starch was used with 0.14 g/ml sucrose concentration. However, when amylomaize was used lactose containing desserts had lower textural properties than those of lactose free desserts.

Rheological properties of lactose-free dairy desserts
Şahin, Serpil; Hamamcı, Haluk (2016-10-01)
People suffering from lactose intolerance cannot digest milk or lactose-containing foods. Lactose-free diet is essential for them since they do not have the ability to produce lactase to breakdown milk sugar. Physical properties of lactose-free dairy desserts will most probably be different than that of lactose containing ones because of lactose hydrolysis. In this study, it was aimed to analyze the rheological and textural behaviors of different lactose-free dessert formulations containing different gum ty...
Challenges in dried whey powder production: Quality problems
Özel, Barış; McClements, David Julian; Arikan, Cagatay; Kaner, Ozlem; Öztop, Halil Mecit (2022-10-01)
© 2022 Elsevier LtdWhey is a high nutritional value by-product of the dairy industry. It is generally produced in large quantities and its disposal as wastewater poses environmental risks. For this reason, whey streams are used for the production of value-added products such as dried whey powders. However, there are several challenges related to whey processing that lead to low powder yield and quality, especially caking. These challenges can be addressed by optimization of product formulation and processin...
Evaluation of the effects of legume flour incorporation into wafer sheets
Tufan, Büşra; Şahin, Serpil; Şümnü, Servet Gülüm; Department of Food Engineering (2018)
Changing consumer demands have directed food industry into development of alternative food products in terms of nutrition, authenticity, innovation and functionality. The main objective of this study was to develop wafer sheets by partial replacement of wheat flour by bean, carob, chickpea and lentil flours. In this regard, firstly nutritional components of the flours were analyzed. Wheat flour was replaced by 10%, 20% and 30% legume flour and its effects on specific gravity and rheology of the batters were...
A study on the effects of some soy products on rheological and textural properties of milk chocolate
Yolaçaner, Elif; Öztop, Halil Mecit; Meclis, İzlem Cansu (2018-07-07)
As the consumer expectation for healthy and functional foods is increasing, utilization of many alternative ingredients is proceeding constantly in food production nowadays. Soybean products are among these ingredients since they involve high quality proteins, isoflavones and they are free from cholesterol, lactose and gluten. Chocolate is one of the most widely consumed food products in the world and rheology of chocolate is vital for its quality and production cost. Rheological properties of chocolate are...
Release and characterization of beta-galactosidase from lactobacillus plantarum
Kara, Fırat; Gürakan, Candan; Department of Biotechnology (2004)
The enzyme, β-galactosidase (E.C.3.2.1.23) has been used for dairy industry for removing lactose from milk and milk by-products. In this study, three strains namely L. plantarum NCIMB 1193, L. plantarum DSM 20246 and L. plantarum E081 were used for β-galactosidase release by sonication method. The peak of the total enzyme activity was found to be corresponding to late logarithmic or early stationary phase of all strains. As a disruption method sonication was used for the release of β-galactosidase. Meanwhil...
