Replacement of sucrose with other sweeteners and low methoxyl pectin in low caloric pectin gels

대체 감미료와 low methoxyl pectin을 이용한 저열량 pectin gel의 제조

The effect of sugar alcohols in the preparation of acceptable low methoxyl pectin(LMP) jellies were studied. Sensory scores analysis, Hunter's color parameters and texture profile analysis using universal testing machine were performed. The composition of sweetners used in this study were 100％ sucrose, 75％ sucrose and 25％ maltitol, 50％ sucrose and 50％ maltitol, and 50% sucrose, 25％ maltitol, 12.5％ sorbitol'and 12.5% mannitol. LMP jellies with 100％ sucrose showed the strongest sweetness among them. Other sensory characteristics of LMP jellies were regarded as same. Hunter's value of lightness, redness and yellowness of 100％ sucrose jellies and jellies substituted with maltitol up to 25％ were not significantly different, but those of LMP jellies substituted with 50％ sugar alcohols were higher(p<0.01) than other 3 types of jellies. As substitution ratio was increased, springiness and chewiness were lower(p<0.01). Fracturability(p<0.01) and hardness(p<0.05) of jellies made of 100% sucrose and 75％, sucrose and 25% maltitol showed higer value than the other jellies. Springiness of jelles sweetened with sucrose and 3 sugar alcohols was the highest(p<0.05). Replacement of sucrose by sugar alcohol did not influenced on gumminess and cohesiveness of LMP jellies.

당알코올의 대체 감미료로서의 유용성을 검토하기 위한 목적으로 LMP jelly들을 제조하여 품질 특성을 비교하였다. 관능검사 결과 LMP jelly의 감미도는 설탕의 50％를 maltitol로 대치하였을때 현저하게 감소하였고, 반면 같은 50％를 3종류의 당알코올로 혼합 사용한 경우에는 제조시 당알코올의 대체 가능성을 높음을 시사하였다.
