USE OF STARCH SYRUPS IN THE PRODUCTION OF JELLY
In the presented work the choice of starch syrup for the jelly products production has been substantiated. It was based on the analysis of the starch syrup carbohydrate profiles and recipes of jelly products. The influence of syrup on the rheological and structural-mechanical properties of jelly and aerated masses for a two-layer jelly has been determined. The expediency of polydextrose usage has been demonstrated. Its adding leads to the regulation of the jelly structure and foam layer for the samples with more than 50% of sugar replaced by starch syrup. Depending on the ratio of carbohydrates in jelly it was determined the amount of polydextrose adding of which provides the required firming and prebiotic properties of finish products. The change of physical-chemical, structural-mechanical, and organoleptic quality indices of two-layer jelly with modified carbohydrate composition has been investigated during storage.
