Abstract
The objective of the study was the development of nonconventional restructured freeze-dried multicomponent snacks obtained with the addition of chokeberry pomace powder (CP) supported by calcium ions (0, 0.01 and 0.05%). The study consisted of the evaluation of the impact of various quantities (1, 3 and 5%) of dried chokeberry pomace powder on selected physicochemical characteristics compared to snacks structured by pectin (0.5 and 1.5%). The results showed that the application of CP caused a significant reduction in the snacks’ water content and activity, which could contribute to enhanced stability. Hygroscopic properties and porosity also decreased with increasing quantity of CP, which was a consequence of structural changes in the material. The CP addition elevated the hardness of the snacks, however the effect was notably lower than after pectin incorporation. The use of the CP promoted the bioactive compound content and antioxidant activity of the freeze-dried snack. Total phenolic and anthocyanin contents elevated with the increasing quantity of CP, also followed by antioxidant activity improvement. The introduction of anthocyanins, which are red colorants, also caused notable changes in the color of the products. Overall, the application of chokeberry pomace resulted in obtaining an innovative snack option characterized by fortified bioactive compounds content and antioxidant activity. However, more research is needed to optimize also nutritional characteristics of the products.
期刊介绍:
The journal European Food Research and Technology publishes state-of-the-art research papers and review articles on fundamental and applied food research. The journal''s mission is the fast publication of high quality papers on front-line research, newest techniques and on developing trends in the following sections:
-chemistry and biochemistry-
technology and molecular biotechnology-
nutritional chemistry and toxicology-
analytical and sensory methodologies-
food physics.
Out of the scope of the journal are:
- contributions which are not of international interest or do not have a substantial impact on food sciences,
- submissions which comprise merely data collections, based on the use of routine analytical or bacteriological methods,
- contributions reporting biological or functional effects without profound chemical and/or physical structure characterization of the compound(s) under research.
