This study was aimed to develop an albumen pudding by application and optimization of gelatin and carrageenan as food additives using response surface methodology (RSM). Albumen pudding was produced from 55% (v/v) albumen concentration. Effect of concentrations of gelatin (2, 4 and 6% (w/v)) and carrageenan (0.3, 0.5 and 0.7% (w/v)) on pudding’s physical and sensorial properties was investigated. Results revealed that a concentration of food additives correlated with syneresis, springiness, hardness, firmness and overall liking scores (R2= 0.932, 0.821, 0.956, 0.854 and 0.864, respectively). The higher gelatin and carrageenan concentrations added, the lower syneresis, springiness, hardness, firmness and overall liking scores were observed. The overall liking score ranged from 5.9-6.7 (slightly-liked to moderately-liked) compare to 7.5 (moderately-liked) of the control sample. From RSM analysis, the suitable concentrations of gelatin and carrageenan were 1.5-5.6% (w/v) and 0.25-0.61% (w/v), respectively.
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.
