Abstract
This study was performed to evaluate the effects of added ingredients such as modified starch (MS), xanthan gum (XG), sugar, (SU), salt (SA), and vinegar (VIN) on the water mobility and physicochemical properties of model tomato ketchup and to investigate the correlation between the obtained variables and serum separation. The type and concentration of ingredients added to the tomato paste (TP) had significant effects on experimental variables, including the serum separation rate, water mobility, and viscosity. Serum separation was most severe in SU and VIN- added samples and minimal in MS and XG- added samples. Principal component analysis exhibited that several physical variables (T2 relaxation time, flow behavior properties, storage and loss modulus) were related to serum separation. The causes of these separation events may vary depending on the specific properties of the added ingredients.
期刊介绍:
The FSB journal covers food chemistry and analysis for compositional and physiological activity changes, food hygiene and toxicology, food microbiology and biotechnology, and food engineering involved in during and after food processing through physical, chemical, and biological ways. Consumer perception and sensory evaluation on processed foods are accepted only when they are relevant to the laboratory research work. As a general rule, manuscripts dealing with analysis and efficacy of extracts from natural resources prior to the processing or without any related food processing may not be considered within the scope of the journal. The FSB journal does not deal with only local interest and a lack of significant scientific merit. The main scope of our journal is seeking for human health and wellness through constructive works and new findings in food science and biotechnology field.
