Firmness and creaminess are two main sensory qualities that influence customer preference for dairy products.EPSs can perform as texturizers and stabilisers, raising the viscosity of a final product and boosting the rigidity of the casein network by binding hydration water and interacting with other milk constituents such proteins and micelles.As a result, EPS can help to reduce syneresis and improve product stability. The application of EPS in a dairy food matrix remains a challenge in order to better meet customer demand for appealing, flavorful, and even healthier products.","PeriodicalId":14972,"journal":{"name":"Journal of AgriSearch","volume":"59 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-03-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"86718080","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
