Interactions between ingredients have a wide application in the food industry. The objective of this work was to investigate the combined effect of milk, starch, and inulin on textural properties (firmness, gumminess, cohesiveness, and adhesiveness), syneresis, and sensory characteristics of pudding (by free-choice profile (FCP) and acceptability test), applying the experimental design for mixtures. Milk and starch were significant for all the studied texture parameters. Milk, inulin, and the interaction of the inulin with starch were significant for syneresis. It was possible to formulate pudding with the maximum inulin concentration (3.9%) with good textural characteristics. The judges were capable of distinguishing attribute differences and similarities, mainly in relation to texture, by applying the FCP. In the acceptance test, the judges concluded that there are no differences (p < 0.05) among the tested formulations. The different proportions among ingredients in the system can affect the characteristics of the final product. Inulin inclusion in pudding, as a functional ingredient, was successful.

Jaboticaba (Plinia spp.) peel is an emerging co-product with high levels of flavonoids, anthocyanins, and differentiated sensory characteristics. During the industrial processing of jaboticaba, as in the production of juices, only the pulp is used, and the peel is discarded. This work aimed to produce sequilho biscuits with different concentrations of jaboticaba peel flour (JPF) and evaluate the technological and sensory properties of the products. Biscuits with four concentrations of JPF (B1= 0.75%, B2= 1.5% B3= 2.25% and B4= 3.0%) were prepared. The physicochemical analysis, instrumental texture, color, total flavonoids, and total anthocyanins were evaluated. Sensory perceptions were investigated using the check-all-that-apply (CATA) questionnaire, hedonic scale, and purchase intention scale. Jaboticaba peel flour had high levels of total flavonoids (227.9±14.6 mg 100 g-1) and total anthocyanins (114.2±4.2 mg cyanidin-3-glycoside 100 g-1). Specific volume and bite force were not affected by the addition of JPF. The global impression for all biscuits elaborated with JPF ranged from approximately 6.5 to 7.5. It positively influenced the global impression of the biscuits, with associations with the CATA terms of fruit flavor, jaboticaba flavor, and fruit aroma. However, terms related to the texture, such as fibrous and hard, negatively influenced the global impression. It is recommended to produce sequilho biscuits with JPF addition up to 1.5%. This study demonstrated that the food industry could better exploit the jaboticaba peel, meeting consumer demand for products with differentiated sensory characteristics

The introduction of agro-food industry by-products rich in bioactive compounds represents major challenge in food industry sector. The influence of wheat germ particle size (<150 µm, 150–1000 µm, and 800–2000 µm), wheat germ content (5, 10, and 15%), and dough moisture content (20, 22, and 24%) on chemical, textural, and sensory characteristics of cookies was investigated using the Box–Behnken experimental design. The substitution of wheat flour with wheat germ increased the protein, fat, mineral, and fiber content of the cookies. The particle size of wheat germ affected the textural properties of cookies. As the particle size of wheat germ increased, the hardness of cookies decreased. The color of the cookie was most influenced by the interaction of dough moisture content and wheat germ particle size. Wheat germ level up to 15% had no significant effect on the sensory characteristics of cookies. A suitable combination of defatted wheat germ level, its particle size, and dough moisture content can improve the nutritional value of cookies, without causing a negative effect on the cookies’ sensory characteristics.

The textural properties of butter are influenced by its fat content and implicitly by the fatty acids composition. The impact of butter’s chemical composition variation was studied in accordance with texture and color properties. From 37 fatty acids examined, only 18 were quantified in the analyzed butter fat samples, and approximately 69.120% were saturated, 25.482% were monounsaturated, and 5.301% were polyunsaturated. The butter samples’ viscosity ranged between 0.24 and 2.12 N, while the adhesiveness ranged between 0.286 to 18.19 N·mm. The principal component analysis (PCA) separated the butter samples based on texture parameters, fatty acids concentration, and fat content, which were in contrast with water content. Of the measured color parameters, the yellowness b* color parameter is a relevant indicator that differentiated the analyzed sample into seven statistical groups; the ANOVA statistics highlighted this difference at a level of p < 0.001.

Colour and texture are very important quality properties of all foods. In this work, the influence was investigated of different types of pectin on colour and textural properties in strawberry jams and low-calorie strawberry jams containing fructose and aspartame or fructose syrup and aspartame. The highest anthocyanin content and total phenol content were detected in strawberry jam samples prepared with low methoxy amidated pectin. During storage, after 4 and 6 weeks at both storage temperatures, room temperature and 4°C, anthocyanin content and total phenol content decreased. Also, free radical scavenging activity decreased during storage. As far as the texture parameters are concerned, namely firmness, consistency and cohesiveness, the highest values were found in strawberry jam samples prepared with high methoxyl pectin.

Concentrated and two types of dried raisin juice were added to bread and durum wheat flour dough at 50% level of sucrose substitution to prepare different bread samples. Baking (specific volume, color, crumb moisture, sensory evaluation), textural properties, and dough rheological properties were determined in breads. Results suggested that Greek durum wheat flour was appropriate for breadmaking and contributed to the baking, sensory, and textural properties of the final product. Addition of concentrated raisin juice in dough products both as a sucrose substitute and natural colorant gave breads with a higher loaf volume, fruity flavor, and an appealing brown color. Breads containing dried raisin juice were sensory rated lower than those with sucrose, however, they improved loaf volume and increased preservation time. This study also examined statistically the relationship between sensory responses and instrumental measurements, which is of major importance in the food industry for various applications.

<p>One of the parameters that most influence the sensorial acceptance of yogurt is the texture presented. By determining the rheological behavior, we enable the sizing of the equipment. The aim of the present study is to determine the rheological behavior and the texture of whole yoghurts with different concentrations of achachairu pulp submitted to different temperatures. In addition to that we aim to adjust the data to the rheological models studied and to evaluate the influence of pulp and temperature on the instrumental texture profile. The rheological study was performed and the rheological models were adjusted to the experimental data. The Herschel-Bulkley rheological model presented the best fit for all formulations and temperatures with determination coefficients (R2 ) greater than 0.99 and low chi-square values (X2 ). Yogurt firmness decreased due to the increase of pulp concentration, however when submitted to 9 °C temperature they presented more firmness. On the other hand, yogurt showed non-Newtonian fluid behavior, in the specific case of pseudoplastic and instrumental texture parameters, they tended to decrease with increasing temperature. </p>
