Development of a high-quality low-calorie chocolate needs the use of the most appropriate ingredients that could substitute sugar without negatively affecting several product properties. Although it is possible to formulate sugar-free or sugar-reduced chocolates with an acceptable sweetness level, these chocolates often show poorer sensory properties, especially undesirable mouthfeel, which could limit their consumption. In this study, low-sucrose chocolates sweetened with sucralose and stevia by using bulking agents were investigated in relation to their rheological, textural and sensory attributes. Bitter, milk and white chocolates with different amounts of sweeteners were formulated. The Casson model best fitted to the rheological data for all formulations. In dark chocolates, partial substitution of sucrose with stevia (BCSSt) gave similar plastic viscosity and yield stress values with control samples (BCS) (p > 0.05). Hardness measurements also supported these results. BCSSt sample was again found to be very similar to control in tested sensory attributes when assessed by a consumer panel. The data indicated that it was possible to manufacture a chocolate by partial replacement of sucrose with stevia without adversely affecting its important rheological, textural properties and sensory acceptance.

Effect of high hydrostatic pressure on background microflora and furan formation in fruit pur,e based baby foods KULTUR, Gulcin; MISRA, N. N.; BARBA, Francisco J.; KOUBAA, Mohamed; GÖKMEN, VURAL; Alpas, Hami (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2018-03-01) The baby foods industry is currently seeking technologies to pasteurize products without formation of processing contaminants such as furan. This work demonstrates the applicability of high hydrostatic pressure (HHP) as a non-thermal decontamination intervention for fruit pur,e based baby foods. HHP processing was evaluated at 200, 300, and 400 MPa pressures, for 5, 10 and 15 min of treatment times at 25, 35 and 45 A degrees C. HHP application at 400 MPa, 45 A degrees C for 15 min ensured complete inactivat...
Physical characterization of low-calorie chocolate formulations Cikrikci, SEVİL; YUCEKUTLU, Mutlu; Mert, Behiç; Öztop, Halil Mecit (2017-03-01) Development of a high-quality low-calorie chocolate needs the use of the most appropriate ingredients that could substitute sugar without negatively affecting several product properties. In this study, sucrose-reduced chocolates sweetened with sucralose and stevia by using bulking agents were investigated in relation to their rheological, textural and sensory attributes. Dark, milk and white chocolates with different amounts of sweeteners were formulated. The Casson model best fitted to the rheological data...
Correlation between physical and sensorial properties of gummy confections with different formulations during storage Tireki, Suzan; Şümnü, Servet Gülüm; Şahin, Serpil (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2021-01-01) Gummy confections are popular products formulated with sucrose, glucose syrups, gelling agents, acids, flavourings and colouring agents. They have various commercial types in terms of formulation, texture, taste and colour, however, there is inadequate investigation on storage behavior of these products. The aim of this study is to investigate the effects of glucose syrup:sucrose ratio (1.1 and 1.5), starch (0% and 1.5%) and gelatine concentration (3% and 6%) on texture profile, colour and sensory propertie...
Effects of processing on onion skin powder added extrudates Tonyali, Bade; Şensoy, İlkay; KARAKAYA, SİBEL (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2020-09-01) It is possible to enhance the functional properties of extruded products with the inclusion of fruit and vegetable by-products. Onion skin, a rich source of quercetin and fiber, is considered as waste in the industry and can be used as an alternative ingredient to improve the nutritional value of the extruded products. Three levels (3, 6, and 9%) of onion skin powder (OSP) were added to wheat flour and compared with control (0% OSP). The effect of the extrusion process on accessible quercetin, total phenoli...
Effects of soy and rice flour addition on batter rheology and quality of deep-fat fried chicken nuggets Dogan, SF; Şahin, Serpil; Şümnü, Servet Gülüm (Elsevier BV, 2005-11-01) The effects of soy flour (5%) and rice flour (5%) addition to the batter formulation on quality of deep-fat fried chicken nuggets were evaluated. Coating pick-up of batters, and moisture content, oil content, texture, color and porosity of nuggets were determined for 3, 6, 9 and 12 min of frying times at 180 degrees C. A batter formulation with no flour addition was used as control. Additionally, the rheological properties of batters were studied and coating pick-up was found to be directly proportional to ...
