Starches obtained from different cultivars of sweet potatoes commonly consumed in Sri Lanka, were chemically modified with hydroxypropyl substitution, to analyze the changes in the physicochemical properties. Significant changes (P < 0.05) in the crude digestibility level, thermal properties, and the water separation (syneresis) of starch gels (7.0% db) during cold and frozen storage were obser...

Water mobility was assessed in acidified milk model systems made from casein and whey protein ingredients using low-field nuclear magnetic resonance (LF-NMR). Two water pools, less mobile water, were detected during acidification, while three pools observed the resultant stirred storage, including a free fraction of expelled serum (i.e., spontaneous syneresis). The system with highest content m...

Abstract The aim of this study was to elaborate the effects using isomalto-oligosaccharide, polydextrose, and inulin as humectant towards sugar-free pineapple jam physicochemical sensory characteristics. Eleven different samples were made with determined concentration each prebiotic, followed analysis water activity, degree brix, color, 72-hour syneresis, evaluation spreadability, hedonic test,...
