Marshmallow is an aerated confectionery product with a characteristic foamy structure created when air and moisture is incorporated into a sugar mixture containing gelatin. The air entrapped in the marshmallow matrix is responsible for its fluffy texture. Moisture absorption/loss of marshmallows during storage and transportation is one of the most important quality defects that make the product unacceptable. In this study, marshmallows prepared at different compositions were examined. Sugar type, concentration and initial moisture content of the samples were adjusted at different values. Sorption isotherms provide valuable information to decide the appropriate storage conditions for a product. There is no much literature about the sorption isotherms of marshmallows. As the first step, moisture sorption isotherms of the products were determined. Marshmallows were kept in a climacteric chamber at 6 different relative humidities at 25o C, 35o C and 45o C. Moisture contents of the samples were measured using a vacuum oven at 70o C after incubation and the absorption data was fitted to GAB and BET models. To understand the effect of different formulations on the shelf life of the products, (Tg) of the samples were measured using a Differential Scanning Calorimeter (DSC). Tg of the samples decreased as the water content decreased. The results showed that the type of the sugar and initial water content changed the Tg and thus the degree of crystallinity of samples as it is known that [T-Tg] is positively correlated with crystallinity.

Effect of d-psicose substitution on gelatin based soft candies: A TD-NMR study
Pocan, Pelin; İlhan, Esmanur; Öztop, Halil Mecit (Wiley, 2019-09-01)
Confectionary gels are considered as composite gel systems composed of high amount of sugar and gelling agent such as gelatin or starch. d-Psicose is classified as a type of rare sugar, which is a C-3 epimer of fructose and has 70% of the sweetness of sucrose with a caloric value of 0.39 kcal/g. Utilization of d-psicose in food products is gaining particular interest due to its low caloric value. In this study, gelatin-based soft candies were formulated, and the effect of d-psicose substitution was explored...
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 different batter formulations on the quality of deep-fat-fried carrot slices
Akdeniz, N; Şahin, Serpil; Şümnü, Servet Gülüm (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2005-07-01)
The effects of batter coating containing pregelatinized tapioca starch or maltodextrin at different concentrations (1, 3 or 5%) on product quality of deep-fat-fried carrot slices were evaluated. Coated slices were fried for 2, 3 and 4 min at 170 degrees C. Coating pickup of batter formulations and moisture and oil contents, porosity, texture and colour of fried slices were determined. Batter without pregelatinized starch or maltodextrin addition was used as the control. Addition of 5% pregelatinized tapioca...
Investigation of Physical Properties and Moisture Sorption Behaviour of Different MArshmallow Formulations
Kırtıl, Emrah; Öztop, Halil Mecit (2016-08-25)
Marshmallows are a type of confectionary product known for its soft, foamy texture. It owes this characteristic to its relatively high moisture content (17-21% by wt) and porous structure. However, these attributes make marshmallows more susceptible to quality degrading changes such as; sugar crystallization, texture aging, foam collapse and hardening or softening. The high interfacial area, increases the rates of mass transfer which makes it harder for marshmallows to preserve its initial moisture content ...
Effect of ultrasound and high hydrostatic pressure (hhp) on liquefaction and quality parameters of selected honey varieties.
Basmacı, İpek; Alpas, Hami; Department of Food Engineering (2010)
Heat treatment (around 50°C) is a major step in honey filling and packaging that is applied before filtration to decrease viscosity, reduce the moisture level, to destroy yeasts, liquefy crystals and delay crystallization. As a result, formation of Hydroxy Methyl Furfural (HMF), decrease in enzymatic activity, color deterioration, decrease in viscosity and many other structural changes are observed. HMF is produced as a result of Maillard reaction and/or hexose dehydration -which is undesirable-, practicall...
