The article is devoted to the development of the production technology of a dairy and vegetable product with functional properties with established optimal dosages of enriching components. The ...article presents a comparative analysis of the chemical composition and properties of enriching components in the form of pumpkin of the Kroshka variety, Lavitol-arabinogalactan and flower honey, and substantiates the possibility of enriching curd products with β-carotene, dietary fiber, vitamins and minerals. The method for obtaining powder from pumpkin pulp with a particle size of about 0.5 mm has been established. The authors have studied the influence of the selected enriching additives on the quality characteristics of the developed curd product. As a result of the combination of dairy and vegetable components, the curd mass «Solnyshko» – a product with high nutritional and biological value has been obtained. The main value of the developed curd mass lies in the ability to provide the body with beta-carotene and dietary fiber. The optimal ratios of prescription components in the developed «Solnyshko» curd mass have been established in the following ratios: cottage cheese (WFF 9%) – 86.11%, pumpkin pulp powder – 5%, flower honey – 6.39%, Lavitol-arabinogalactan – 2,5%. The developed curd product has a high nutritional value. It has been determined that consumption of 100 g of «Solnyshko» curd mass will satisfy the daily physiological need for beta-carotene by 63.6%, for dietary fiber – by 18.4%. The shelf life of the enriched curd mass is 10 days at a storage temperature of 4±2℃. Industrial testing of the «Solnyshko» curd mass technology was carried out at the «Line» LLC PСС (Blagoveshchensk, the Amur Region).
The article considers the possibility of expanding the range of fermented milk products enriched with natural sources of biologically active substances, which is an urgent task today, as it ...corresponds to the concept of state policy of the Russian Federation in the field of healthy nutrition. As a solution to this problem, it has proposed to enrich the curd mass as part of the daily diet. Promising plant raw materials of the Far Eastern region, such as Ahnfeltia tobuchinensis, a representative of the genus of red algae growing in the Far Eastern Seas, are used as functional and enriching ingredients; Dahurian larch wood extract – arabinogalactan (Lavitol-arabinogalactan) and peppermint (Méntha piperíta). Grounded ahnfeltia was used in the size of not more than 0,5 mm. On the basis of the analysis of the composition and properties of the applied non-traditional additives, the possibility of enrichment of curd products with dietary fiber and organic iodine from plant components has been substantiated. Optimal ratios of enriching prescription components to the weight of cottage cheese in a finished product are the following: ahnfeltia powder – 1,5%, arabinogalactan – 2,5%, peppermint – 1%. Also, when determining the optimal dosages of the introduced components, it is proposed to replace the prescription amount of sugar with flower honey, which is a natural sweetener and a powerful antioxidant. Organoleptic and physicochemical parameters of the finished samples have been analyzed. As a result of the research the functional curd product one portion (100 g) of which is capable to satisfy daily physiological need of an organism for iodine for 29,32%, in dietary fibers for 12,38% has been developed.
Abstract Water activity (aw) and moisture content (MC) of Turkish liquid flower and pine honeys were determined. Samples (706 flower and 257 pine) were collected during the honey harvesting seasons ...of 2010-2014 from 137 apiaries in locations with different climatic conditions all over the land. Up to date, this work is the first one seeking for a correlation between aw and MC for Turkish honeys, and also it is the largest and longest one among similar works to the best of the researchers’ knowledge. The ranges of aw and MC values of the Turkish honeys were in agreement with the literature. aw was determined between 0.470 and 0.563 for the flower honeys, and between 0.492 and 0.589 for the pine honeys. MC was measured between 15.0 and 20.4% (m/m) for the flower honeys and between 15.1 and 20.4% (m/m) for the pine honeys. Statistically different linear regression equations (aw versus MC) fitted data of the flower and pine honeys with significantly high coefficients of determinations (R2> 0.848), small mean absolute errors (< 1.39%) and no biases. The linear equations were analogous to equations giving the correlation between aw and MC for other honeys in the literature.
The Objective of this research was to determine the best concentration of addition coffee flower honey to kefir based on total plate count, lactic acid bacteria, acidity, and pH value. The materials ...used in this research were honey kefir made from cow’s milk, kefir grains, and coffee flowers honey. The method used in this research was experimental with Completely Randomized Design by 4 treatments and 4 replications and continued by using Duncan’s Multiple Range Test. The result showed that the effect of addition coffee flowers honey was not significantly different (P>0.05) on total plate count, lactic acid bacteria, acidity, give highly significant different (P<0.01) on pH value. Addition 20% of coffee flower honey was the best treatment with quality of total plate count 6.21 ± 0.60 log CFU/mL, total lactic acid bacteria 6.16 ± 0.14 log CFU/mL, acidity 0.76 ± 0.11 % and pH value 3.596 ± 0.021. Further study is needed to figure the storability of honey kefir.
In the present study water activity (
a
w) and water content (
w) in 150 samples of Slovenian honeys were determined. The water content in honeydew honeys ranged from 13.4% to 18.0% and in flower ...honeys the water content was between 14.0% and 18.6%. The water activity in honeydew honeys varied from 0.483 to 0.591, and in flower honeys the water activity was in the range from 0.479 to 0.557. A statistically significant linear correlation between
a
w and the water content of honeys was found. In honeydew honeys the water activity at the same water content was higher than in flower honeys. The change of physical state from crystallized to liquid has been found to influence the water activity. Crystallized samples showed a higher water activity compared to the corresponding value for the same honeys after liquefaction. The difference in water activity between liquefied and crystallized honeys is higher in flower honeys than in honeydew honeys.
To identify potential floral markers of chestnut honey, the phytochemicals present in chestnut floral nectar collected by bees were analyzed. Two nitrogen-containing compounds were detected, ...isolated, and identified as 4-hydroxyquinaldic acid (kynurenic acid) and 4-quinolone-2-carboxylic acid by 1H NMR and 13C NMR. In addition, chestnut nectar contained the monoterpene 4-(1-hydroxy-1-methylethyl)cyclohexa-1,3-diene-1-carboxylic acid, its gentiobioside ester, and the flavonol quercetin 3-pentosylhexoside. These nectar markers were found in different chestnut unifloral honey samples, although the flavonol was not detected in all samples analyzed. The terpenoid derivatives had previously been found in linden and tilia honeys. These results show that quinoline alkaloids are potentially good markers of chestnut honey, as they were not detected in any other unifloral honey analyzed so far. They are present at concentrations ranging from 34 to 65 mg/100 g of honey in the samples analyzed. In addition, the terpenoid and flavonoid derivatives present in nectar, although not exclusively characteristic of this floral origin, are good complementary markers for the determination of the floral origin of chestnut honey.
