This study explores a sustainable plant-based approach to formulate low-fat muffins by partially replacing butter with sago flour at levels of 25, 37, and 50% (w/w). The research designed to assess the physicochemical and pasting properties of wheat-sago flour composites and their impact on the texture, color, post-baking attributes, and sensory characteristics of the muffins. Results presented that the ash content of the fat-reduced muffins significantly improved, increasing from 1.08 to 3.09%. Sago concentration significantly affected solvent retention, swelling, sedimentation properties, pasting temperature, and both peak and breakdown viscosities. At 50% fat replacement, the muffins exhibited increased density and firmness, measuring 32.67 N, compared to full-fat and lower-fat samples. Sensory evaluations by semi-trained assessors rated both full-fat and reduced-fat muffins within the liking range, with scores ranging from 8.52 to 7.42. Lightness values showed no significant difference between full-fat and reduced-fat muffins. These findings suggest that sago flour is an effective partial fat replacer in muffin formulations, enhancing nutritional value while maintaining acceptable sensory qualities, with the 25 and 37% replacements achieving the best balance of properties.</p><h3>Graphical abstract</h3><div><figure><div><div><picture><source><img></source></picture></div></div></figure></div></div>","PeriodicalId":632,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Food Science and Technology","volume":"62 3","pages":"551 - 561"},"PeriodicalIF":2.701,"publicationDate":"2024-09-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://link.springer.com/content/pdf/10.1007/s13197-024-06045-6.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143109629","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Early nutrition is a crucial one for proper growth and wellbeing. Researchers have developed weaning food from locally available ingredients with appropriate processing methods without losing actual nutrients value. Despite this, micronutrient malnutrition irrespective of the country status is a potential threat. This is overcome by fortifying micronutrients in the formulated weaning foods. Typically, formulated weaning foods are prepared from fruits and cereal grains that are abundant in micronutrients. Different processing methods are adopted to maintain the original natural characteristics of the ingredients. Traditional homemade weaning foods always have an upper hand over industrialized ones. Additionally, fortification enhances the micronutrients in weaning food and helps in uprooting the hidden hunger thereby helping in the sustainable development goals. This review focuses and delivers insights on the various processing methods and cereal-fruit weaning foods as traditional homemade ready-to-serve food supplement. It also highlights the impact of fortification of weaning foods against micronutrient malnutrition. On the whole this work emphasizes on the importance of sustainable weaning foods and how babies can be brought up into healthy grown-ups achieving zero hunger.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":632,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Food Science and Technology","volume":"61 12","pages":"2263 - 2274"},"PeriodicalIF":2.701,"publicationDate":"2024-09-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142443264","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}
