The effect of guar and acacia gum blend at different concentrations viz., 0.1, 0.2, 0.4 and 0.6 per cent on the physicochemical, sensory properties and rheology of yogurt were studied. It was observed that the setting time of the yoghurt reduced with increased concentration of blend gum. The viscosity of samples containing blend gum increased compared to the control sample. As increase in levels of blend gum, the per cent synersis was noticed in decreased trend. No marked change in pH and acidity of yoghurt was recorded irrespective added of blend gum and their concentration. As level of blend gum concentration increased the total solid content was found increased. Sensory evaluation showed that the use of blend gum upto 0.2 per cent concentration improved body and texture of the product. Being hydrocolloid nature the blend gum improved the consistency and reduced whey separation in yoghurt.
Use of hydrocolloids in low calorie flavoured milk beverages is their ability to modify the rheology with acceptable mouthfeel and improve consistency and prevent sedimentation of cocoa particles of chocolate flavoured milk by incorporation of guar and acacia gum blend at 0.1, 0.2, 0.4 and 0.6 per cent. Chocolate flavoured milk was subjected to sensory analysis using 9 point hedonic scale. Addition of guar and acacia gum blend decreased the score of colour and flavour where as increased sensory score of mouth feel and consistency and decreased creaming index which ranged from (24 to 08 per cent). It was noted that as addition of guar and acacia gum blend increased the viscosity. Blend of 0.4 per cent gum was found overall acceptable and recorded 58.8 cp and 41.5 cp viscosity which was found to be suitable viscosities to prepare the better quality chocolate flavoured milk.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
