The purpose of this study was to examine potential utilization of stevia’s leaf as sugar substitute in low calorie sweetbio-yoghurt. The experiment was carried out with the supplementation of stevia’s leaf extract in yoghurt at level 0.5; 2.0; 3.5% and yoghurt produced with supplementation 7.0% sugar used as a control. Parameters observed were level of stevioside, calorie content, pH and acidity, total solid, nutritional composition, microbiological quality, and sensory acceptance. The result showed that level of stevioside obtained in ethanol phase was higher (12.73%) than that in butanol phase (11.89%). There were no differences on pH and acidity in yoghurt either supplemented with sugar or stevia’s leafextract. The protein content in yoghurt supplemented with stevia’s leaf extract was higher than that supplemented with sugar, but no differences were observed on lactose content. Supplementation of stevia’s leaf extract at 0.5% increased fat content, but higher level of supplementation (2.0 and 3.5%) had no effects on fat content. Calorie content of yoghurtsupplemented with stevia’s leaf extract was lower than that supplemented with sugar. The supplementation of stevia’s leaf extract in yoghurt affected on taste, flavor, mouth-feel, and acceptance but had no effect on appearance and colour. Stevia’s leaf extract was able to maintain viability of lactic acid bacteria and probiotic kept for a week in a refrigerator.Low calorie sweet bio-yoghurt with supplementation of stevia’s leaf extract at level 0.5% had the highest acceptance/Keywords: Low calorie sweet bio-yoghurt, stevia leaf, sugar substitute ABSTRAKPenelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengkaji pemanfaatan stevioside hasil ekstraksi daun stevia (Stevia rebaudiana) sebagai pengganti gula dalam produk low calorie sweet bio-yoghurt.

Hospitals offer snacks and drinks for sale to patients, staff and visitors. As food choice is heavily influenced by the options on offer, the present study audited the availability and purchase of snacks and drinks available in all NHS hospital sites across a large UK city. Data on the type and nutritional composition of all single-serve snacks (n=407) and drinks (n=238) available for sale in 76 hospital-based food retail units were collected. Purchasing data were obtained for products sold from a subset of food retail units over 4 weeks (6 units; 68,274 product sales). Single-serve snacks and drinks varied markedly in calorie content (snacks 18-641kcals; drinks 0-270kcals), fat content (snacks 0-39g; drinks 0-9g), sugar content (snacks 0.1g-76g; drinks 0-56g) and salt content (snacks 0.2g-2.9g; drinks 0-1.1g). Baked goods were the least healthy snack option (mean content: 383 kcals, 17g fat, 29g sugar and 0.4g salt). Most of the top selling products were crisps, confectionary, baked goods and hot drinks. Only 5/20 top selling snacks were healthy options. While healthy snacks and drinks are readily available in NHS sites, there is scope to reduce the availability of unhealthy options further and to support consumers to make healthier choices.

The Stability

The goal is to reduce the calorie content of margarines by changing the composition and fat base. In this regard, we studied the change in caloric content and the content of trans-acids in margarines with a change in their fat content. To reduce calorie content, the fat base of margarine was also reduced to 60%, and to increase the biological value of the product, it was enriched with highly unsaturated fatty acids. It was determined that with an increase in the number of unsaturated fatty acids and a decrease in the margarine fat content, the stability of the emulsion deteriorates. To increase the durability of low-calorie margarine emulsions, it is necessary to increase the flow rate of the emulsifier or enrich it with other functional substances.

Drying Treatment

Abstract Drying characteristics of Stevia rebaudiana (Bertoni) leaves using radiation drying, convection drying, sun drying, and shade drying treatments were investigated in a convective type. Results for all treatments indicated that drying took place in the falling rate period. The chroma of the dried samples ranged between 29.66 and 23.85. Convection and shade drying samples were found better in colour and had the highest content of total pigments. The proximate and fibre composition were affected by the drying treatments. Extracts obtained from convection drying and shade drying leaves exhibited higher values of Trolox equivalent antioxidant capacities 416.89-423.64 mM mg−1 and ferric reducing power 85.19-87.97%. These extracts also showed ion chelating capacity 59.05-60.21% for Cu+2 and 55.05-59.11% for Fe+2. The results indicate that it is possible to select the drying treatment to obtain the best nutritional and biological properties. Convection drying and shade drying were the least aggressive treatments and leaf powders obtained by these drying methods could be used as sources of nutrients, fibre, and antioxidant compounds.

Sensory Parameter

Barnyard millet is one of the hardest millet. The grains can be used as food and can be cooked similar to rice. The carbohydrate content is low and slowly digestible. This property makes the barnyard millet a natural designer food. The objective of the present investigation was to develop barnyard millet based products and to determine their nutrient composition. A total of seven products using barnyard millet, viz., fruit cake, paddu, instant dosa, puliyogare, gulab jamun, nutri bar and maddurvada were developed. Three of the above products were analysed for nutritional composition, while for remaining the nutritional value was computed for developing a nutrient database. All the prepared products were subjected to sensory analysis by 30 untrained panel members for evaluating the acceptability. Sensory analysis of all millet incorporated products showed that they were acceptable in comparison to control products prepared with traditional cereals. Nutritional composition of millet-based products was similar to control products for macronutrients and showed a higher content of micronutrients. Maddurvada was a baked product with a lesser fat content than the commercial fried product. Puliyogare prepared using only millet was found to be highly acceptable and was nutritionally superior. The sensory parameter of instant dosa prepared with millet was also acceptable. The study showed that preparation of various traditional products using barnyard millet did not affect the sensory parameters; hence, its use can be promoted for health benefits.

Tiger Nuts

Tiger nut (Cyperus esculentus) is a tuber that can be consumed raw or processed into beverages. Its nutritional composition shows a high content of lipid and dietary fiber, close to those of nuts, and a high content of starch, like in other tubers. Tiger nuts also contain high levels of phosphorus, calcium, and phenolic compounds, which contribute to their antioxidant activity. From those characteristics, tiger nuts and derived beverages are particularly relevant to limit food insecurity in regions where the plant can grow. In Europe and United States, the tiger nut derived beverages are of high interest as alternatives to milk and for gluten-free diets. Fermentation or addition of probiotic cultures to tiger nut beverages has proven the ability of lactic acid bacteria to acidify the beverages. Preliminary sensory assays concluded that acceptable products are obtained. In the absence of pasteurization, the safety of tiger nut-based beverages is not warranted. In spite of fermentation, some foodborne pathogens or mycotoxigenic fungi have been observed in fermented beverages. Further studies are required to select a tailored bacterial cocktail which would effectively dominate endogenous flora, preserve bioactive compounds and result in a well-accepted beverage.

Use of hydrocolloids in low calorie flavoured milk beverages is their ability to modify the rheology with acceptable mouthfeel and improve consistency and prevent sedimentation of cocoa particles of chocolate flavoured milk by incorporation of guar and acacia gum blend at 0.1, 0.2, 0.4 and 0.6 per cent. Chocolate flavoured milk was subjected to sensory analysis using 9 point hedonic scale. Addition of guar and acacia gum blend decreased the score of colour and flavour where as increased sensory score of mouth feel and consistency and decreased creaming index which ranged from (24 to 08 per cent). It was noted that as addition of guar and acacia gum blend increased the viscosity. Blend of 0.4 per cent gum was found overall acceptable and recorded 58.8 cp and 41.5 cp viscosity which was found to be suitable viscosities to prepare the better quality chocolate flavoured milk.
