Abstract
Rasogolla is one of the most sought-after traditional dairy desserts, known for its sweet, spongy and delectable flavour. Millets, being rich in bioactive compounds and fibre, has gained momentum in the contemporary era as a valuable ingredient for the development of novel value-added dairy products. In this study, processed foxtail millet was incorporated into chhana at varying levels of 5%, 10%, and 15% (weight basis) to develop millet-enriched rasogolla. Among these levels, the addition of millet at 10% (FR10) yielded the product with the highest overall acceptability score (7.64 ± 0.48). Microscopic evaluation revealed, millet incorporation resulted in discontinuous protein network. FTIR analysis showed increased absorption bands in the 3300 cm⁻¹ region, indicating about enhanced hydrogen-bonding in the products matrix upon processed foxtail millet incorporation. The DSC thermograph revealed specific peak temperatures for FR10 sample at 28.34 °C while peak temperatures for control sample were observed at 28.15 °C and 40.21 °C. Furthermore, the developed product (FR10) demonstrated enhancement in total phenolic and crude fibre content upon processed foxtail millet incorporation.
期刊介绍:
Biophysical studies of foods and agricultural products involve research at the interface of chemistry, biology, and engineering, as well as the new interdisciplinary areas of materials science and nanotechnology. Such studies include but are certainly not limited to research in the following areas: the structure of food molecules, biopolymers, and biomaterials on the molecular, microscopic, and mesoscopic scales; the molecular basis of structure generation and maintenance in specific foods, feeds, food processing operations, and agricultural products; the mechanisms of microbial growth, death and antimicrobial action; structure/function relationships in food and agricultural biopolymers; novel biophysical techniques (spectroscopic, microscopic, thermal, rheological, etc.) for structural and dynamical characterization of food and agricultural materials and products; the properties of amorphous biomaterials and their influence on chemical reaction rate, microbial growth, or sensory properties; and molecular mechanisms of taste and smell.
A hallmark of such research is a dependence on various methods of instrumental analysis that provide information on the molecular level, on various physical and chemical theories used to understand the interrelations among biological molecules, and an attempt to relate macroscopic chemical and physical properties and biological functions to the molecular structure and microscopic organization of the biological material.
