Abstract
Acrylamide is formed during high-temperature treatment in foods and presents a significant health and regulatory challenge. This study evaluates the effects of calcium salts and phenolic acids alone or in combination with asparaginase and rosemary extract in wheat cookies and rye crispbread. Acrylamide content, product color, texture, and sensory properties were assessed. When calcium salts and phenolic acids were used alone, acrylamide was reduced by 46 % and 50 % compared to the control. A combination of these with asparaginase resulted in a reduction of acrylamide by up to 89 % using ellagic acid. Specific treatments reduced cookie hardness, but asparaginase addition reversed this effect. Color mainly remained unaffected. Sensory analysis of selected treatments confirmed no significant changes in cookie aroma, taste, color, texture, and acceptability. This work provides a new approach by combining selected treatments to mitigate acrylamide while preserving product quality.
期刊介绍:
Food Chemistry: X, one of three Open Access companion journals to Food Chemistry, follows the same aims, scope, and peer-review process. It focuses on papers advancing food and biochemistry or analytical methods, prioritizing research novelty. Manuscript evaluation considers novelty, scientific rigor, field advancement, and reader interest. Excluded are studies on food molecular sciences or disease cure/prevention. Topics include food component chemistry, bioactives, processing effects, additives, contaminants, and analytical methods. The journal welcome Analytical Papers addressing food microbiology, sensory aspects, and more, emphasizing new methods with robust validation and applicability to diverse foods or regions.
