In the present study, Rhododendron flowers were used for the preparation of biscuits to enhance the utility of this valuable flower. Dried Rhododendron petals powder was incorporated at different levels (0%, 5%, 10% and 15%) in biscuits and their sensory and physico- chemical properties were evaluated. The results revealed that, the length and thickness of biscuits decreased by increasing the proportion of Rhododendron powder in biscuits. Addition of Rhododendron powder to wheat flour significantly increased the content of moisture, ash (0.75 to 1.20 %), protein (3.06 to 4.96 %), fibre (0.07 to 0.67 %) and iron (3.90 to 4.19 mg/100g). The sensory results showed a significant decrease (7.70 to 7.10) in the overall acceptability by the addition of Rhododendron power to wheat flour but the product remained acceptable in terms of sensory acceptability up to the level 10 per cent. From the study it can be concluded that a maximum of 15% Rhododendron powder can be incorporated to prepare acceptable quality of biscuits.

Four different types of rasomalai were prepared from cow milk chhana (acid curd) with the addition of different levels of soy chhana. The prepared rasomalai were named as ‘A’ (100% cow milk chhana), ‘B’ (75% cow milk chhana+25% Soy Chhana), ‘C’ (50% cow milk chhana+50% soy chhana) and ‘D’ (25% cow milk chhana+75% soy chhana). The qualities of prepared rasomalai were evaluated by using physical and chemical parameters. It was observed that the addition of soy chhana with cow milk chhana decreased the organoleptic score of the prepared rasomalai. The moisture, total solids and carbohydrate content of the sample were not significantly differed, but protein (p<0.05), ash (p<0.05), fat (p<0.01) content and acidity percent (p<0.01) of the samples were significantly decreased in addition of soy chhana with cow milk chhana. Considering the physico-chemical properties of all samples, it was found that most suitable and acceptable quality of rasomalai can be prepared by admixture of 25% soy chhana and 75% cow milk chhana.DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3329/bjas.v44i1.23144            Bang.

Background: Spent hen meat is considered as poor because of comparatively higher toughness and chewiness. The present study was envisaged to find out the effect of barley flour on the quality characteristics of restructured spent hen meat blocks.Methods: Barley flour (1:1 hydration, w/w) was incorporated at the levels of 4, 6 and 8% by replacing the lean meat in pre-standardized restructured spent hen meat blocks (RSHMB) formulation and evaluated for physico-chemical, sensory and textural quality.Result: Product yield was significantly higher (P less than 0.05) and at 6 and 8% level of barley flour as compared to control. Fat percentage and shear force value of RSHMB was significantly lower (P less than 0.05) at 8% level of barley flour as compared to control. There were no significant differences in the scores for general appearance, texture, binding, juiciness and overall acceptability of RSHMB of control as well as those incorporated with different levels of barley flour. Texture profile analysis revealed that the hardness, cohesiveness, gumminess and chewiness of RSHMB with 8% barley flour were significantly lower (P less than 0.05) than that of control. Optimum incorporation level of barley flour for the preparation of restructured spent hen meat blocks was adjudged as 8%. The production cost of RSHMB with 8% barley flour reduced by Rs. 18.4/Kg than that of control. The developed restructured spent hen meat blocks with 8% barley flour can be utilized as texture-modified nutritious soft food products.

Background: Honey is largely used on a small scale as well as at an industrial level in beverages, baked products, confectionaries, candies, marmalades, jams and spreads. The nutritional value of honey is very high and it is highly acceptable by the consumers due to its characteristic flavour, sweetness and texture. Hence, a study was conducted to improve the quality of value added goat meat spread enriched with honey. Methods: Honey at different levels viz. 0, 1.0%, 3.0% and 5.0% was incorporated in the value added goat meat spread for which instrumental colour, physico-chemical properties and sensory quality analysis was carried out. Result: Redness (a*) score increased significantly (p less than 0.01) high in goat meat spread after incorporation of honey but in the lightness and yellowness score there was a non significant (p greater than 0.05) increase noticed. There was no significant effect on hue and chroma due to incorporation of honey in goat meat spread. Cooking yield and spreadability were highly significant (p less than 0.01) and they increased with the increasing levels of honey as compared to control whereas, pH was decreased non significantly (p greater than 0.05). Moisture content of meat spread decreased significantly (P less than 0.05), whereas protein content increased signiûcantly (P less than 0.05) with the increasing levels of honey. Sensory qualities in respect to appearance, flavor, spreadability, texture, after taste, adhesive ability and overall acceptability score were found to be significantly (p less than 0.01) increasing in 3% incorporated honey as compared to control, 1% and 5%. On the basis of all the above observations it was concluded that 3% incorporation of honey improved the quality of goat meat spread.

Okara, a by-product during processing of soymilk or tofu, is rich in dietary fiber, protein and phytochemicals. Therefore, it can be useful as a functional ingredient with health-promoting attributes. This study was to investigate the effects of addition of dried okara powder (DOP) and vital gluten (VG) on rheological, antioxidative and sensory properties of noodle. Results showed that high DOP amount (10–15%) significantly reduced optimum cooking time, extensibility, tensile strength and elasticity of noodle. Increasing DOP amount led to the increase in total phenolics and flavonoids, as well as radical-scavenging activity of noodle. Supplement of 6% vital gluten could improve the quality of 10%-DOP noodle, including cooking loss, tensile property, elasticity and sensory acceptability. Therefore, we suggest that enriched noodle can be prepared with 5% DOP or 10% DOP plus 6% VG in order to increase the intake of phytochemicals and maintain the sensory acceptability of consumers.

The study was designed to evaluate the physico-chemical, microbial and sensorial quality of beef incorporated with different levels of vinegar at refrigerated storage (4±1ºC). Fresh beef samples were divided into three different batches i.e. T0 = control (without vinegar), T1 = 5% vinegar and T2 = 10% vinegar. The samples were evaluated for sensory properties (color and flavor), physico-chemical properties (pH, cooking loss, FFA, POV and TBARS) and microbial counts (TVC, TCC and TYMC) on 0, 7 and 14 days of storage at 4ºC. The obtained results showed that addition of different levels of vinegar significantly (p<0.05) influenced on sensory, physico-chemical and microbiological properties compared to control samples. Comparatively better color and flavor were found in T1 and T2 respectively among the treatments (p<0.05). Lower pH was observed in T1 and T2 compared to control treatment. POV, FFA and TBARS values were found better in T1, whereas the other treatments fluctuated slightly. The lowest microbial counts were significantly lower in higher vinegar treated groups along with at different day’s intervals in TVC, TCC and TYMC (p<0.01). It might be stated from the experiment that vinegar is a means of fresh beef preservation for a short time. From this study, it also concluded that 10% vinegar is effective for short term preservation of beef satisfactorily at refrigerated condition.

Defatted coconut flour obtained from the whitish kernel residue left after the extraction of virgin coconut oil has potential application in high protein-fiber enriched food products. A study was conducted to investigate the use of defatted coconut flour in the preparation of fiber-enriched biscuits. In this, wheat flour was fortified with defatted coconut flour in varying proportions (w/w, 0, 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, and 70%) to prepare a series of blends for biscuit dough. Biscuits samples prepared according to a standard recipe were evaluated by a 36-member semi-trained panel using a 7-point hedonic scale to determine the critical limit of defatted coconut flour substitution in wheat flour for acceptable quality biscuits. Results showed that defatted coconut flour could be used to substitute wheat flour up to a level of 40% without affecting the overall quality. At this level, the dietary fiber content of the biscuit was found to increase by about 10 times. Although biscuit samples showed good acceptability at the beginning, their keeping quality decreased with the increasing level of defatted coconut flour in the biscuit formulation.

The fresh mushroom and mushroom powder were analysed for their composition. Mushroom powder was incorporated in the formulations of cake at 0, 5, 10, 15 and 20% by weight. The effect of various levels of mushroom powder on the physico-chemical properties and nutritional quality of cakes had been observed. Mushroom powder at 15% addition level significantly improved colour, flavour and texture of cake. Cakes were also prepared by incorporating various levels (0-20%) of mushroom powder in plane cake formulations to evaluate optimum level of powder addition. It was observed that in achieving acceptable cake quality, in terms of volume significantly higher amount (10-15%) of mushroom powder could be incorporated in cake formulations. Compositional analysis of cake showed that cake containing mushroom powder had higher protein and fat content and lower carbohydrate content than the control cake. The cakes containing various levels of mushroom powder were evaluated for their sensory attributes by a panel of 10 tasters. The results revealed that the colour and flavour of cake containing mushroom powder was significantly different from the control cake. The texture of the cakes with mushroom powder was equally acceptable to the control cake. The overall acceptability of the cakes with mushroom powder was equally acceptable to the control cake.DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3329/pa.v21i1-2.16769 Progress. Agric. 21(1 & 2): 205 - 214, 2010
