Optimisation of browning index of Maillard reaction in gelatine powder by response surface methodology (RSM) for halal authentication

Duku (Lansium domesticum), tropical exotic fruit, was successfully preserved by drying using exposure to infrared radiation emitters. Response surface methodology (RSM) is used to optimize independent variables (IRE distance of 6 cm and 10 cm, IRE temperature of 200 °C, 300 °C, 400 °C, and IRE exposure time of 50 s, 60 s, 70 s, and to produce response variables (weight loss, fruit firmness, titratable acidity, total soluble solid, and browning index). It could be concluded from the optimization performed that drying duku skin in a whole fruit by exposing the fruit to the infrared emitter resulted in a duku fruit with a relatively good physical and chemical conditions and still be consumable. The IRE distance of 6 cm gave a desirability value of 0.80 while the IRE distance of 10 cm gave a desirability value of 0.92 however the IRE distance of 6 cm gave a better storage time. The IRE distance of 6 cm has an optimum value of weight loss 2.2%; optimum value of fruit firmness of 40.92 N; optimum value of total soluble solid of 17.48 brix; optimum value of titratable acidity of 0.33%; and optimum value of browning index of 0.9. The fitting model base on RSM resulted from this research indicated that this study could be used as the basis for alternative process in food processing of duku but still need further research to increase the shelf life and a better result in the chemical and physical characteristics of duku.

Halal Authentication

The Maillard reaction is known as an amino-carbonyl reaction or non-enzymatic browning reaction which has an essential role in food processing to improve the appearance, taste and functional properties of food. In halal authentication, results could be used to differentiate the sources of gelatine based on the colour and flavour. Since many factors can influence the reaction, it is important to study and optimize the Maillard reaction in a gelatine model system using response surface method, applied to optimize the processing of bovine gelatine-xylose to improve the Maillard reaction products. In this study, the effects of initial pH, temperature, and heating time to browning intensity of melanoidin were evaluated. The increasing of initial pH, temperature and heating time were associated with an enhanced browning intensity of Maillard reaction products. This study demonstrated that the coefficient of determination 0.8429 reveals the response surface reduced linear model is an adequate model for browning intensity of Maillard reaction of the bovine gelatine-xylose system. For a system with 5% of gelatine solution and 0.75 g of xylose, the optimum condition for the browning process obtained was initial of pH 10.92, temperature of 140°C and heating time of 37.28 mins. The predicted results at optimum conditions coincided well with the experimental value with the relative error of less than 5%.
