Abstract:

Partial hydrolysis of starch yields a product called maltodextrin, which has a dextrose equivalent of less than 20. Maltodextrin with a dextrose equivalent of less than 10 is used as a fat replacer in various products. Industries are constantly developing low-fat products or reducing the fat content of products as much as possible according to the wishes and tastes of consumers so that the caloric content of the final product is reduced to one-third of the typical sample. In addition, the low-calorie product should not be deficient in nutrition and quality compared to the regular sample. One possible way to reduce fat or calories in commercial products is to replace some of the fat with carbohydrates such as maltodextrin and modified starch. Using maltodextrin as a fat replacer while reducing the fat and calories of the product creates better flavor, color, and texture; and increases consumer satisfaction. In this paper application of maltodextrin in different products is investigated.

Determination of an optimum level of fish protein isolate as a fat replacer in low fat hamburger development using QDA and PCA analaysis

The aim of this study was to determine the optimum level of fish protein isolate (FPI) as a fat replacer for the production of a low fat hamburger using Quantitative Descriptive Analysis (QDA) and investigating some of the functional characteristics of the product. For this purpose, FPI was developed from yellowfin tuna fish (Thunnus albacares) canning by-product using pH-shift method. On the o...
