Commercial soft candy products are known to contain high amount of sugar and therefore they are considered as not healthy and high calorie sweets. Most of the candy present in the market are made by sucrose and as a gelling agent, gelatin and sometimes starch or pectin is being used. In this study, D-Allulose (rare sugar), soy protein isolate (SPI) and pectin were used to prepare different soft candy formulations. D-Allulose was used as a replacement of sucrose at different ratios (Sucrose/D-Allulose: 0/35, 10/25, 20/15, 35/0) so that high calorie concern will be out of the subject since D-Allulose’s caloric value is approximately 0.4 Kcal/g. Furthermore, pectin is a plant based gelling agent and also known as dietary fiber. Therefore, it will be a good replacement compared to gelatin, that is an animal-based gelling agent, considering vegans, vegetarians and consumers who are trying to eat halal food. Finally, adding SPI to the formulation could definitely increase the perception of the product for the confectionary industry. Pectin was used at a concentration of 4% (w/w) whereas SPI was added at 2% (w/w). In addition to the conventional candy characterization experiments, digestion behavior of the candies in simulated gastric media were also examined and characterization experiments were also conducted during digestion. During gastric digestion, brix of the gels was recorded. Before digestion, physical properties, such as hardness, moisture, water activity, pH, color were measured for the candies and morphologies of the candies were determined using scanning electron microscope (SEM) experiments. In addition to these physical measurements, Time-Domain NMR (TD-NMR) experiments were also conducted. T2 relaxation times were measured to determine how the water distribution in the samples changed in the samples before and after digestion and to observe how the rare sugar D-Allulose changed this distribution. To observe how D-Allulose and SPI changed the molecular dynamics of the soft candies, Fast Field Cycling (FFC) NMR Relaxometry experiments (through T1 relaxation times) were conducted as well. X-ray diffraction experiments were performed to measure the crystallization behavior of the confectioneries. D-Allulose was found to increase the crystallization ability of pectin-containing candies, whereas sucrose containing samples experienced no crystallization. Higher hardness values were obtained for the soy protein containing candies due to pectin-soy protein interaction. Also, higher moisture content was obtained soy protein containing candies. Moreover, mathematical modelling was performed by using Power law model (R2>0.98) and the dissolution constant was calculated for the samples. Dissolution constant of the SPI containing candies showed no significant difference (p>0.05) as sugar type changed while for non-soy protein containing candies, it was significant (p<0.05). Sugar type and SPI addition was found to have impact on soft candy formulations.

In vitro digestibility of rare sugar (D-allulose) added pectin-soy protein gels Ateş, Elif Gökçen; Ozvural, Emin Burcin; Oztop, Mecit H. (2021-04-01) Confectionery gels are known to be high-caloric products due their high sugar content. Changing their formulations by substituting the sugar with alternative natural sweeteners and functionalising them, the addition of proteins has gained attention. Understanding the rate of digestion of these products is also important for selecting the appropriate formulation. In this study, in vitro gastric digestion behaviour of the gels formulated with D-allulose, a low-calorie rare sugar, soy protein isolate (SPI) (1%...
USE OF TIME DOMAIN (TD) AND FAST FIELD CYCLING (FFC) NMR RELAXOMETRY TO DESIGN AND CHARACTERIZE SOFT CANDY PRODUCTS Poçan, Pelin; Öztop, Halil Mecit; Mert, Behiç; Department of Food Engineering (2021-8-20) Confectionary gels are considered as composite gel systems consisting of high amount of sugar and gelling agents such as gelatin or starch. Production of low-calorie soft confectionery products has been the interest of the industry in recent years. D‐allulose is classified as one of the rare sugar; sugars which are found in rare amounts in nature. It is a C‐3 epimer of fructose and has 70% of the sweetness of sucrose with much less caloric value of 0.39 kcal/g compared to common sugars. Utilization of D‐all...
Determination of honey crystallization and adulteration by using time domain NMR relaxometry Berk, Berkay; Öztop, Halil Mecit; Mazı, Bekir Gökçen; Department of Food Engineering (2020-8) Honey is an important source of sugar and widely used as a natural sweetener. The demand for honey has increased significantly due to increase in the consumer tendency to use natural sugars as an alternative to starch based sweeteners (SBS). Thus, honey as being expensive compared to SBS has become very susceptible to adulteration and started to suffer from significant quality problems. In addition to adulteration, crystallization is another problem that could affect the quality of the honey. Crystallizatio...
The effect of onion skin powder addition on extrudate properties Tonyali, B.; Şensoy, İlkay (2016-08-23) The extrusion process is widely used in the industry to obtain different types of products such as breakfast cereals and snacks. The starch based extruded products which are nutritionally poor can be enriched by adding some fruit and vegetable based functional components. The functional components addition not only affects the nutritional value, but also the textural and physical structure of extrudates. In this study, the effects of addition of different levels of onion skin powder (3, 6 and 9%) to the whe...
Formulation and characterization of starch and soy protein containing low calorie soft candy İlhan, Esmanur; Öztop, Halil Mecit; Department of Food Engineering (2019) Type of sugar and gelling agents used in confectionery formulations have vital importance since they directly influence physicochemical properties during storage. In this study, effect of a non-caloric rare sugar, D-allulose (formerly called D-psicose) on the starch based confectionery gels were investigated in the presence and absence of soy protein isolate using different experimental techniques for 28 days. For characterization of the formulized gel systems, common techniques were used (optical microscop...
