Sensory aroma from Maillard reaction of individual and
combinations of amino acids with glucose in acidic conditions
Kam Huey Wong, Suraini Abdul Aziz & Suhaila Mohamed*
Faculty of Food Science and Technology, Universiti Putra Malaysia, 43400 Serdang, Malaysia
(Received 20 December 2005; Accepted in revised form 24 August 2006)
Summary
The aroma produced in glucoseamino acids (individual and in combination) Maillard reaction, under acidic
conditions at 100 C were determined and compared by trained panellist. Proline produced pleasant, owery
and fragrant aroma. Phenylalanine and tyrosine produced dried roses aroma. Alanine produced fruity and
owery odour, while aspartic acid and serine both produced pleasant, fruity aroma. Arginine, produced a
pleasant, fruity and sour aroma at pH 5.2, but not at its natural pH. Glycine, lysine, threonine and valine
produced a pleasant caramel-like odour. Isoleucine and leucine gave o a burnt caramel aroma. Methionine
developed a fried potato odour. Cysteine and methionine produced savoury, meaty and soy sauce-like
avours. A combination of these amino acids produced dierent types of aroma, with the stronger note
dominating the odour of the mixture. This study will help the prediction of avour characteristics of
hydrolysates from dierent protein sources.

(Received 21 June 2006; Accepted in revised form 25 October 2006)
Summary
The development of a low glycemic index ice cream with as close as possible physicochemical properties and
sensory quality compared with a sucrose-sweetened ice cream was investigated. Three relatively new novel
commercial sweeteners tagatose, erythritol and trehalose were studied, along with maltitol and
polydextrose. Once the freezing curves were matched, other physicochemical properties also were found to
match. Sweetness and sweet taste could then be adjusted for sensory optimisation with a combination
of these sugars and supplementation with sucralose to boost the sweetness as necessary.

the same theoretical FPD ()2.15 0.05 C), the calculation of which is described as follows. A target of
32 4% was set for the total solids. Overrun was xed
at 100 10%. The carbohydrate content of the various
formulations is shown in Table 2.
Mix 1 contained the maximum amount of tagatose
(6%) recommended by the manufacturer and 1.6%
fructose to make up total solids and desired FPD. Mix 2
contained as much erythritol as possible (5.5%) to
balance the FPD of the control. Mix 3 contained a
combination of erythritol (3.0%) and tagatose (3.4%).
Mix 4 contained 15% maltitol and 8.45% trehalose. Mix
5 contained only trehalose. Sucralose (600 times the
sweetness of sucrose) was added to boost the sweetness
as necessary.
A second set of formulations, aimed to improve the
dairy character of the ice creams (compared with those
detailed earlier), included the use of milk and cream.
The carbohydrate content of these mixes is shown in
Table 3. Mix A was similar to mix 4 earlier. Mix B
contained the maximum usage of tagatose (6%) with
6% polydextrose and 3% maltitol used to make up total
solids. Mix C contained 15% maltitol and 2.5%
trehalose. Mix D contained as much erythritol (4.2%)
as possible with 6% polydextrose and 3% maltitol
making up total solids.

Physical properties
Our rst goal was to utilise the alternative carbohydrates in mixes that contained the same freezing curve
as the control and then measure their other physical
parameters. The calculated and measured freezing
points (Table 5) and freezing curves (Fig. 1) were
similar regardless of the ice cream formulation. This
was in agreement with previous ndings (Livney et al.
2003). Comparison of the measured percentage of total
water frozen with the theoretical value showed good
accuracy up to 5055% of total water frozen (Fig. 1),
after which the theoretical method overestimated the
amount of water frozen in the system also concurrent
with previous reports (Livney et al. 2003). The use of a

the control and mix 3, all ice creams had similar % fat in
drip values (Table 5). An inverse correlation was evident
between % fat in the drip and % fat destabilisation in
the control ice cream and mix 3, as shown by Bolliger
et al. (2000).
All ice creams had similar hardness values, with only
mix 1 and mix 2 being statistically dierent from each
other (Table 5). Hardness in ice cream is inuenced by a
number of factors: ice phase volume, ice crystal size,
overrun, fat destabilisation, and the rheological properties of the mix (Muse & Hartel 2004). No correlation
was evident between hardness, meltdown and experimental freezing curve.

(Received 4 April 2005; Accepted in revised form 15 January 2007)
Expanded products have been developed by extrusion of non-conventional highly nutritious raw materials
such as amaranth and chickpea blended with bovine lung. As sensory acceptance of these snacks is restricted,
this study aimed at improving their texture, through the addition of monosodium glutamate (MSG) and
disodium inosinate (IMP) avor enhancers to the feeding material, or to the avor added after the extrusion.
Sensory and mechanical analyses showed that both enhancers aected texture, assessed by sensory and
instrumental methods. Addition of IMP together with MSG to the chickpea-based snacks presented the best
results. This benecial eect was not observed in the amaranth-based snack, suggesting that IMP and MSG
can favorably impact texture of extruded products depending on the amount and type of protein present.
Summary

Introduction
In food production, several unconventional raw materials and by-products of high nutritive value are poorly
used for human feeding because of the lack of tradition
in their consumption, the unfamiliarity of their use or
the lack of basic requirements for their acceptability.
Animal by-products, such as bovine lung that is rich in
proteins of high biological value, bioavailable iron and
vitamins (Areas, 1993; Areas & Lawrie, 1984; Bastos &
Areas, 1990; Bastos et al., 1991; Campos and Areas,
1993; Pinto et al., 1997), some grains as chickpea (Cicer
arietinum L.), that presents the best nutritional quality
among the legume seeds (Chavan & Salunkhe, 1986;
Chavan et al., 1986; Newman et al., 1987; Sotelo et al.,
1987; Fernandez & Berry, 1988; Batistuti et al., 1991;
Pardez-Lopez et al., 1991; Avancini et al., 1992), and
amaranth (Amaranthus caudatus, L), a commodity that
presents great nutritional potential and the capacity for
reducing blood cholesterol (Saunders & Becker, 1984;
Teutonico & Knorr, 1985; Bressani, 1988; Breene, 1991;
Kauman, 1992; Lehmann, 1992, 1996; Bressani et al.,
1993; Plate & Areas, 2002), are good examples.
Extrusion cooking has been one of the most suitable
technological processing for these raw materials,

A triplicate determination was carried out by conventional methods (overnight desiccation to constant
weight at 105 C for moisture; calcination to constant
weight at 550 C for ash; defatting with ethyl ether in a
Soxhlet apparatus for lipids) (Instituto Adolfo Lutz,
1985).
Preparing of raw materials
used in the same ratios in the nal products, independent of the addition moment (before or after the
extrusion).
Extrusion
1529
The maximum strength to completely shear the extrudates, which is an important predicting factor of the
sensory acceptance of the product (Voisey & Stanley,
1979), was determined using an Instron universal testing
machine (Mod. 1000, Instron Corp., USA) equipped
with a Warner-Bratzler device. The cross-head speed
was 100 mm min-1 and the pressure transducer maximum capacity was 5 kg (50 N). The expansion ratio was
calculated as the ratio of extruded product diameter and
the diameter of the die hole. Averages of 33 to 66
determinations for each sample were reported, being the
number of replicates (n) indicated when necessary.

Summary
The aim of this study was to evaluate the chemical properties of the ours prepared with residues from
organic king palm processing, and also to determine the cookie-making performance of residue blends from
organic king palm processing and wheat our, as well as the eect of the blends on the consumers
acceptance and purchase intent of high-bre cookies. The king palm ours (PFs) contained high contents of
total dietary bre and total ash. Blends containing 0%, 10%, 15%, 20% and 25% of either PF or sieved
king-palm our (SPF) replacing wheat our were prepared. The total dietary bre content of the cookies
ranged from 4 to 7 g (100 g))1 on a dry-matter basis. The level of these components improved with increased
amounts of PF and SPF in the blends. All the cookies were acceptable and approved in relation to purchase
intent.

Introduction
Archontophoenix alexandrae (Wendl. & Drude), commonly known as king palm or as Alexandra palm or
even as Seafortia palm, is endemic to the tropical forests
of east Australia. It produces heart-of-palm or palmito
of the noble type, with higher quality and superior
avour compared with that of Euterpe oleracea Mart.
(aca , or acaizeiro), which supplies more than 80% of
the palmito traded in the international market (Bovi,
1998).
As an exotic plant, the king palm has a strong
ecological connotation, because it reduces the pressure
over other palmito producer species which are often
illicitly extracted, such as the Euterpe edulis. Additionally, it can be cultivated without pesticides and chemical
products, with good adaptation to organic cultivation
system (Tagliari, 1999).
A wide variety of bre sources have been developed
for use in various foods to provide more bre. There are
medical studies about the benets of total dietary bres
consumption such as falling serum cholesterol concentration, lowering the risk of coronary heart disease,
reducing blood pressure, aiding weight control, improving glycemic control, reducing the risk of certain types of

Summary
The study investigated the physical, nutritional and sensory properties of dierent ripening stages of banana
during extrusion processing in combination with rice our to develop quality snack products. Dehydrated
banana ours at ripening stages 4, 5 and 6 (peel colour) were mixed separately at 40% banana to 60% rice
our levels. The mixtures were extruded through a twin-screw extruder at 120 C barrel temperature, 220
and 260 r.p.m, screw speed and 12% feed moisture. Increase in ripeness indicated negative eect on
expansion and water absorption capacity while increasing the water solubility index and moisture retention
(wet basis) of the products. Protein and mineral (except for zinc and copper) content of the products were
signicantly dierent (P < 0.05) from 4 to 6 of the ripening stages. Most of the essential amino acids in the
extruded products increased signicantly (P < 0.05) at the ripening stage of 6. All the products were within
the acceptable range in the 9-point Hedonic scale showing the best texture and avour scores for stage 4 and
6, respectively. The extruded products show potential as snack products because of their nutritional quality
and sensory acceptability.

Raw materials
Preliminary tests were conducted to identify the optimum range of the extruder (temperature, screw speed
and die diameter) and feed (moisture and proportions of
banana to rice) variables. Based on these trials, further
experiments were conducted using 120 C (nal zone)
barrel temperature. Zones 1 and 2 were kept constant at
50 and 80 C, respectively. The optimum screw speeds
were maintained at 220 and 260 r.p.m, and 3 mm die
diameter. The feed moisture contents were xed at 12%
and the feed rate was maintained at 260 g min)1. The
proportion of 60:40 rice to banana our was used as this
was the highest proportion of banana could go through
the extruder without any feeding diculty.
Detail tests were conducted using two-way factorial
design using dierent ripening stages of banana and
screw speeds, and the extruded products were analysed
for physical properties. Based on the changes in the
physical properties, one screw speed was selected
(220 r.p.m). The products obtained at 220 r.p.m showed
uniform and smooth surface compared with the uneven
and rough surface of the products extruded at
260 r.p.m.
Therefore,

Summary
The quality and shelf life of whole ungutted and gutted sardines (Sardina pilchardus) stored in ice were
studied. The changes in the sh were investigated by sensory assessments, chemical analyses and
microbiological analyses. The sensory scores of uneviscerated and gutted sardines stored in ice at +4 C
were 7 days. The chemical indicators of spoilage, total volatile basic nitrogen and trimethylamine values of
gutted sardine increased very slowly, whereas for whole ungutted samples higher values were obtained
reaching a nal value of 15.0329.23 mg per 100 g and 2.364.16 mg per 100 g, respectively (day 9). Peroxide
and thiobarbituric acid values remained lower for whole ungutted sardine samples until day 9 of storage,
whereas for gutted sh were higher. The level of histamine exceeded the legal limit in whole ungutted sardine
after 7 days of storage in ice, during which sardines were rejected by the sensory panel. Mesophilic aerobic
bacteria count, H2S-producing bacteria, sulphide reducing anaerobe Clostridias, Enterobacteriaceae count of
whole ungutted sardine samples are higher than gutted sardine samples during the storage. Psychrotrophic
bacteria counts of the two groups were not dierent. The limits of microbiological data were not exceeded
throughout the storage in both the groups samples.

microbiological, chemical and sensory properties of
aquacultured sea bass stored in ice. Results of this
study indicate that the shelf life of whole ungutted and
gutted sea bass stored in ice as determined by the overall
acceptability sensory scores and microbiological data is
13 and 8 days, respectively. Similar results for assessment of shelf life of other sh have been reported.
Chytiri et al. (2004) reported a shelf life for ungutted
and lleted trout of 1510 days, whereas Taliadourou
et al. (2003) reported a shelf life for lleted and ungutted
sea bass of 812 days. Paleologos et al. (2004) reported
the unacceptable quality for whole sea bass of 13 days,
gutted sea bass of 11 days and lleted sea bass of 9 days.

(Veciana-Nogues et al., 1997). Many results were reported to inhibit histamine formation signicantly in sh
stored at low temperatures (Yamanaka et al., 1985).
Ababouch et al. (1991) reported that histamine reached
toxic levels after 610 days in four out of seven
experiments of sardines stored at 8 C and on ice.
Jhaveri et al. (1982) found initial histamine level of
20 ppm in Atlantic mackerel, respectively. They also
stated that the levels increased to value of 100 ppm in
15 days in ice. El Marrakchi et al. (1990) reported that
amount of histamine in sardine esh at the time of
rejection (12 days) in ice was 162 ppm. Jeya Shakila
et al. (2003) found a similar of histamine level (40
50 ppm) in sardine muscle stored at ambient temperature storage 12 h.

Bacterial spoilage in refrigerated sh and sh products under aerobic storage conditions is caused by
Gram-negative psychrotrophic organisms such as
Pseudomonas, Alteromonas, Flavobacterium spp. and
H2S-producing bacteria (including Shewanella putrefaciens) (Huss, 1994). Microbiological results are shown in
Figs 16. Initial psychrophilic bacteria counts of ungutted and gutted sardines were 3.53.8 log CFU g)1,
respectively (day 1). Initial mesophilic bacteria counts
of the two groups samples were found 43.8 log
CFU g)1. Mesophilic counts reached 6 log CFU )1 for
whole ungutted sardine and 5.25 log CFU g)1 for gutted sardine after 9 days of storage (Fig. 2). On day 9 of
storage, psychrophilic counts of ungutted and gutted
sardines were 5.37 and 5.32 log CFU g)1, respectively.
The microbial limit of acceptability at 106107 CFU g)1
for mesophilic aerobic bacteria (Gobantes et al., 1998)
and 105 CFU g)1 for psychrotrophic bacteria (LapaGuimaraes et al., 2000) were exceeded 7 days of storage.
Similar results for mesophilic aerobic counts have been
reported by Rehbein et al. (1994) for redsh as 12 days
of storage in ice. Eifert et al. (1992) reported hybrid
striped bass llets stored at 4 C did not reach
107 CFU g)1 until 12 days.
Initial H2S-producing bacteria counts were 4 log
CFU g)1 for two groups sh sampling periods, with
nal counts of 4.90 log CFU g)1 (whole sardine ) and
4.30 log CFU g)1 (gutted sardine), respectively (Fig. 3).
Counts of sulphide producers in the range of log 6
log 6.7 are normally present on rejectable sh from
temperate and tropical waters (Hanna, 1992). Kyrana &
Lougovois (2002) and Lougovois et al. (2003) reported

Summary
The eect of probiotic cultures on sensory performance of coconut an during storage at 5 C and the
viability of these micro organisms for up to 28 days were investigated. Sensory analyses of the product were
performed after 7, 14 and 21 days of storage. Coconut ans were produced with no addition of cultures (T1,
control), or supplemented with Bidobacterium lactis (T2), Lactobacillus paracasei (T3) and B. lactis + L. paracasei (T4). Populations of L. paracasei and B. lactis as single or in co-culture remained above
7 log CFU g)1 during the entire storage period. Viability of L. paracasei was higher for T3. All products
were well accepted and no signicant dierences (P > 0.05) were detected between the coconut ans studied.
The addition of L. paracasei and B. lactis to coconut an resulted in its having great potential as a functional
food, which has high sensory acceptability.

Introduction
The benecial eects of food with added live healthpromoting micro organisms (probiotics) on human
health, and in particular of milk products on children
and other high-risk populations, are being increasingly
promoted by health specialists (FAO WHO, 2001).
Foods that promote human health over and above the
provision of basic nutrition are called functional foods
(Halsted, 2003). A working denition which was
recently proposed describes functional foods as foods
that can be satisfactorily demonstrated to benecially
aect one or more target functions in the body, beyond
adequate nutritional eects, so as to lead to an improved
state of health and well-being and or a reduction of risk
of disease (Stanton et al., 2005). The concept has also
been directed towards food additives that may exert a
positive eect on the gut microbiota composition
probiotics and prebiotics (Ziemer & Gibson, 1998).
Gibson et al. (2004) reviewed the prebiotic concept as
a selectively fermented ingredient that allows specic
changes, both in the composition and or activity in the

Abstract
Spray-dried orange avour encapsulated in dierent amorphous matrices composed of maltodextrin (MD)
and dierent combinations with; sucrose, trehalose, lactose, modied starch and gum arabic (ga); were
evaluated by sensory analysis and electronic nose (e-nose). With both techniques the avours encapsulated in
MD-sucrose and MD-lactosesucrose were perceived as similar. However, the e-nose did not detect any
dierences among the other matrices (MD-trehalose, MD, MD-sucrose at a dierent concentration and
MD-ga). On the contrary, sensory analysis was able to group MD-trehalose and MD describing them by:
woody, marmalade, syrup, citrus terpenes, and Vitamin C; MD-sucrose at 40% and 10% concentration and
MD-lactosesucrose were grouped and represented by powder juice, tangerine and pungency, while MD-ga
was dierentiated from the rest by the attributes peely, plastic, solvent and green. In this way, it was shown
that matrix composition determines the aromatic prole of spray-dried encapsulated orange avours.
Keywords
Electronic nose, orange encapsulated avours, sensory prole, spray-dried, sucrose, trehalose.

Samples
Five commercial spray-dried encapsulated orange avours (samples 15) (5% water content) and one sample
specially prepared using trehalose were manufactured in
a avour company located in Buenos Aires, Argentina.
Table 1 shows the composition of the spray-dried
avours. Maltodextrin DE 12 (MD 12) accounts for
most of the amorphous dried matrix in samples 1 and 2;
while in samples 3, 4, 5 and 6 it has been partially
replaced by one or the other of the following disaccharides: sucrose, lactose and trehalose. Samples 1, 3, 4, 5
and 6 also have a small proportion of modied starch in
their composition while sample 2 has only MD and gum
arabic. The sample containing trehalose (number 6) was
specially prepared for this study because this disaccharide is not locally commercially used for this purpose yet.
Processing conditions during avour oil emulsication
(which can aect emulsion size) were similar for all
samples; the same for operating conditions of the
atomizer during spray-drying, to minimize eects on
particle size distribution of the spray-dried powder.

Triangle test
Table 3 shows the results for the triangle test for all
samples. As it can be seen all samples resulted signicantly dierent except for sample 4 respect to sample 5.
These two samples had sucrose in low concentrations (5
and 10% respectively) and the same amount of aroma
(18%).
Analysis of variance
anova of mixed model for attribute scores are summarized in Table 4. Sources of variation were samples,
assessors and sample assessor interaction. Replications and assessor replication and sample replication interactions were non-signicant supporting the
interpretations that the use of attributes was consistent.
Eect of assessors was signicant for only one
attribute (vitamin C, P < 0.05) and sample assessor
interaction was signicant for two attributes (freshly
squeezed, P < 0.01 and vitamin C, P < 0.05) indicating that not all the judges evaluated all the samples in
the same fashion for those descriptors. Other authors
observed that this can happen when samples are very

Summary
The objective of this study was to evaluate the perception and the attitudes towards probiotic foods of the
population in the city of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Four hundred and twenty (100.0%) people were interviewed
in small-, medium- and large-sized supermarkets located in various parts of the city of Rio de Janeiro. One
hundred and twenty-two (29.05%) people dened probiotic foods correctly. Ninety-one (21.67%) were
unable to mention a single example of a probiotic food. The results of this study indicate the need for an
elementary easy-to-understand educational programme using accessible language in order to x the concepts
related to these products.
Keywords
Consumer, probiotic.

Sampling
A structured questionnaire, consisting of three questions, was used in this study. Each question had three
options for the interviewee to choose his reply, and a
free line for him to make his own reply if he failed to
agree with any of the options provided. The interviews
were carried out in small-, medium- and large-scale
supermarkets located in various regions of the city of
Rio de Janeiro, focussing on the area destined for the
sale of refrigerated dairy products the interviewer
placing himself in this precinct. The direct approach
method was chosen, in which, the interviewee was
invited to participate in the study, the size of the sample
being determined according to Triola (2005). Considering a level of precision of D = 0.05, a condence

tional programme at an elementary level using accessible, easy-to-understand language, aimed at the
denitive xation of the concepts related to these
products. Although the participants showed a reasonably high educational level 70% with high-school or
university-level education the replies were observed to
be independent of this requisite.
Table 2 shows the benets arising from the ingestion
of probiotic foods according to the interviewees. The
main items cited were reductions in cholesterol levels
and diarrhoea cited by 124 (29.52%) and 119 (28.33%)
participants, respectively, followed by reductions in
caries and headaches, with indices of thirty-three
(7.86%) and fty-four (12.86%), respectively. Ninety
(21.43%) participants armed that they knew of no
benet caused by the ingestion of these products.
Although a reduction in diarrhoea is the benet most
emphasised by the manufacturers to encourage the
consumption of probiotic foods, a benet of great
interest to the majority of the population undergoing
considerable discomfort provoked by this condition is
the reduction in the cholesterol levels, which was slightly
more cited. This could be explained by the relatively
high educational level of the participants, as many of
those with a university education also possessed postgraduate latu sensu (specialisation) or strict-sensu (masters or doctorate) degrees, thus being used to reading
scientic texts and also owing to the great number of
articles and texts divulged in the media of the harm
caused by maintaining high cholesterol levels. The
maintenance of a healthy life style, with the practice of
regular physical exercise allied with the consumption of
adequate food, including the consumption of probiotic
foods, could be related to this fact.
A similar explanation could be attributed to the
citation of a reduction in caries, a little divulged benet
restricted to scientic research, which could be related to
the access of the participants to dental services oered
by dentists who keep themselves professionally updated,
and who, therefore, have access to this type of
information and transmit it to their patients.
Although a certain advance was shown by the
interviewees in their responses, ninety (21.42%) failed
to relate the consumption of probiotic foods to any
of the benets mentioned in question 2, registering
replies, such as diverse weaknesses, menopause and skin

irritations, and fty-four (12.86%) associated the consumption of these foods with relief from headaches,
reiterating the need for educational elucidatory
campaigns.
Table 3 shows examples of foods considered to be
probiotic by the interviewees. One hundred and sixteen
(27.62%) interviewees indicated fermented milk and 108
(25.71%) yoghurt, while fty-six (13.33%) and fortynine (11.66%) mentioned cheese and other products
including coconut water, soft drinks, fruits and vegetables respectively. Ninety-one (21.67%) were unable to
mention a single example of a probiotic food. A low
index of correct replies was veried (27.62%), although
some cited acidophilus milk, and a certain amount of
confusion existed among a section of the interviewees
citations of yoghurt and cheese occurring at a rate of
25.71 and 13.33%, respectively. Widely consumed over
the ages, yoghurt is only considered a probiotic product
if it includes cultures of the type Lactobacillus acidophilus and Bidobacterium bidum in its composition,
added as co-cultures during processing, because the
cultures normally used to produce this product, Lactobacillus delbrueckii ssp bulgaris and S. thermophilus,
possess no probiotic characteristics. However, a high
index of replies was already expected for this product, as
it is well known and consumed by a wide range of the
population, independent of socio-economic class.
Although showing considerable potential as vehicles
for probiotic cultures, cheeses also can only carry this
status if they have the aforementioned cultures in their
composition, also added during their preparation. The
citation of products, such as coconut water, fruits and
vegetables, together with those who could think of no
examples of probiotic foods, represent 33.3%
(11.66 + 21.67), reinforcing the aforementioned recommendation of the need to divulge these foods to the
population. It is interesting to note that no participant
cited ker as a probiotic food.
The results of this study show, in a general way, the
confused opinions of the population with respect to
probiotic foods and the benets arising from their
ingestion. Wider divulging of this category of foods by
the food industry is required by way of educative
campaigns in accessible, easy-to-understand language.
This would further increase the potential for growth of
this type of food, as aware consumers present a greater

Summary
The eects of pectin gel and protein base on processed semi-solid cheese analogues were studied through
microstructure, texture, rheology, thermal analysis and sensory evaluation. Scanning electron microscopy
revealed dierences in the microstructure of processed cheese analogues. Samples made with full-fat
contained higher concentrations of fat globules and were denser compared with low-fat cheese analogues
with or without pectin gel. The pectin gel in the products acted as a linkage with other ingredients and made
the products more compact and had less cavity compared with the products without pectin gel added. On
rheological analysis, the full-fat products manifested a more solid-like form. The storage modulus of pectin
gel sample was higher than that without pectin gel. All the samples rheological parameters were depending
on the oscillatory frequency and temperature. In low-fat samples, pectin gel added or not aected the
hardness, gumminess, chewiness and adhesiveness signicantly. The pectin gel addition show positive eect
to the texture prole of the low-fat cheese analogues. Through thermal analysis, the meltability and glass
transition temperature of the processed cheese analogues were measured. The low-fat cheese analogue with
pectin gel addition got the higher texture and mouthfeel scores through sensory evaluation.

which are protein- and carbohydrate-based. Fat mimetics have often been recommended to be used in cheese
products consisting mainly of microparticulated protein- and carbohydrate-based materials (Romeih et al.,
2002).
As the introduction of Siebel & Sylvia (1996), pectin is
a puried carbohydrate product, obtained by aqueous
extraction under mildly acidic conditions of some plant
material usually citrus fruits and apples. Traditionally,
pectin is used as a gelling agent for jams and jellies. The
major parts of all pectin production are consumed by
the fruit processing industry. Other traditional applications are confectionery products, dairy products, fruit
preparations, bakery llings.
New applications of pectin within the food area are
constantly developing, and fat replacement is one of the
latest newcomers. SLENDID, a registered trademark
of Hercules Incorporated, was introduced in 1991
(Siebel & Sylvia, 1996). The SLENDID concept covers
a range of specialty pectins tailor-made for fat replacement. The production of SLENDID takes place on the
premises of a company in Denmark. In 1994, the
company was granted a patent covering a fat-simulating
composition consisting of heat-stable carbohydrate gel
particles, a food product normally containing fat oil
that has been improved by substituting all or a portion
of the fat oil by gel particles, and the process by which
the gel particles are formed. SLENDID may be used in
a wide range of food applications such as spreads,
mayonnaises and salad dressings, processed meats, ice
cream, processed cheeses, soups and sauces, desserts and
bakery products, in which fat may be partly or fully
replaced.
Use of scanning electron microscopy (SEM) techniques to cheeses and gels and evaluation of the product
were successful in showing the microstructure (Sipahioglu et al., 1999; Sanche et al., 2000). Texture properties
of Cheddar cheese samples were determined using
compression and stress relaxation tests carried out on
an Instron Universal Testing machine (Hort and Grys,
2001). It is convenient to employ instrumental texture
analysis in the current accepted form using uniaxial
compression. Literature introduced the texture prole
analysis (TPA) test on cheeses and discussed the
properties of the texture of the cheese samples (Ehab
et al., 2002; Truong et al., 2002; Kealy, 2006). Rheology
is mainly concerned with the relationship between
strain, stress and time. When subjected to external
forces, solids (or truly elastic materials) will deform,
whereas liquids (or truly viscous materials) will ow.
However, contemporary rheology is more interested in
the behaviour of real materials with properties intermediate between those of ideal solids and ideal liquids
(Doraiswamy, 2002). These industrially important materials are called viscoelastic materials, which include
almost all real materials. Without question, cheeses are

Thermal analysis
Dierential scanning calorimetry analysis was performed with a DSC-7 calorimeter (PerkinElmer, Norwalk, CT, E. U. A.) An empty pan was used as a
reference. The samples (about 10 mg), previously weighted in aluminum pans, were analysed according to the
following two independent program: (a) Heating from
2580 C at a rate of 5 C min and measure the
meltabilities of samples. Temperature for the dierent
transitions (i.e. the onset temperature, To; ending
temperature, Te) were determined using the rst derivative of the heat capacity calculated with the DSC
program library and by comparison with the baseline.
On the contrary, enthalpy (Delta H, J g)1) for solid
liquid transition was estimated integrating the corresponding endothermic peak. (b) Heating from )25 to
20 C at a rate of 10 C min)1, then cooling from 20 C
to )25 C at a rate of 10 C min)1, then a 10 C min)1
heating rate scanning from )25 C to )14 C and
holding for 120 min, followed by cooling to )25 C at
2 C min)1 before scanning from )25 C to 10 C at
2 C min)1. On basis of the last step, glass transition
region might be detected and the Tg were determined by
using the DSC programs.

Consumer attitude and behaviour towards tomatoes after 10 years
of Flandria quality labelling
Wim Verbeke,* Liesbeth Van de Velde, Koen Mondelaers, Bianka Kuhne & Guido Van Huylenbroeck
Department of Agricultural Economics, Ghent University, Coupure links 653, B-9000 Gent, Belgium
(Received 23 August 2006; Accepted in revised from 23 April 2007)
Summary
In recent years, trust in food safety and food quality has decreased as a result of consecutive food crises.
Consequently, numerous quality labels signalling process-related credence characteristics have been
established. One of these labels is the Belgian Flandria quality label for fresh fruit and vegetables. Based
on cross-sectional data collected through a self-administered consumer survey (n = 373), this paper
addresses consumer attitudes, behaviour and perception towards tomatoes in general, and the Flandria
tomato label in particular. Buyers, who constitute 26.8% of the sample, perceive Flandria tomatoes as
superior to other tomatoes because of their guarantee of origin, better taste and stricter production control.
However, they also report the strongest perception of Flandria as an ordinary tomato as compared to nonbuyer segments. Overall, ndings indicate that the Flandria label after being intensively used for 10 years
for a wide range of other fruits and vegetables besides tomatoes has become fairly standard for tomatoes
with little perceived dierentiation apart from its certied production and origin.

Locations for recruitment were chosen based on convenience and respondents were selected through nonprobability quota sampling taking predetermined quota
on age into account. Questionnaires were self-administered at home and returned or collected by the
researchers after completion, which took 1520 min. A
total of 440 respondents was approached, of whom 413
respondents completed the questionnaire. The valid
response amounted to 373 after a quality check. Table 1
gives an overview of the sample characteristics for
gender, age, education, living environment and presence
of children. All respondents were responsible for the
purchase of food within their household. As a result, the
sample prole reects the primary role of women as
responsible person for purchase within the family.
Although the sample is not statistically representative in the sense that locations were not randomly
chosen, and respondents were not selected randomly
from the population, it should be noted that distributional characteristics of the sample closely match
with census data. For example, the age distribution of
the sample matches well with the overall population
distribution from census data, despite a slight over
sampling of the younger age groups (NIS (National
Institute for Statistics), 2002). Also with respect to the
presence of young children, a good match between the
sample and population distribution is realised. It
should be noted that the sample is biased towards
higher education. Nevertheless, consumers in the
<18 years education category still constitute a substantial part of it.

(Received 6 September 2006; Accepted in revised from 30 April 2007)
Summary
The preferred colour for surimi is white, but surimi prepared from light llets of common carp (Cyprinus
carpio) is slightly pink. Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2; 13% v v) with and without sodium tri-polyphosphate
(STP; 12% w v) was added to a sodium carbonate bath (pH 7.011.5) resulting in a nal pH range of 4.4
10.1 which was injected into carp llets. After soaking and tumbling for 30 min at 410 C, the llets were
evaluated for colour and water holding capacity (WHC). Fillets tumbled with treatment solution with
dierent pH levels (7.011.5), but with no H2O2 or STP added, had improved colour with signicantly
(P < 0.05) higher L* compared with untreated llets as the control. However, the colour improvement [(L*
and colour deviation (DE)] was not signicantly dierent (P > 0.05) within the pH levels (7.011.5) trialled.
With increasing H2O2 levels (13%), llets became lighter and DE increased signicantly (P < 0.05),
especially with a 3% H2O2 treatment at pH of 10.5 (adjusted pH before H2O2 addition, actual pH after H2O2
addition was 8.2). The whiteness (L*)3b*) of kamaboko produced from treated (3% H2O2, pH 10.5)
common carp light llets was not signicantly dierent to that of kamaboko from Alaska pollock and
threadn bream. Treatments combining H2O2 (3%) with STP (12%) signicantly reduced the L* value
obtained in comparison with llets treated with only H2O2 (3%). Similarly, llets treated with STP (1%)
alone, resulting in lower L* values, irrespective of treatment pH (7.011.5). WHC, an indicator of the quality
of the llet texture, increased from 816 g kg at pH 7.0 without STP to 841 g kg at pH 11.5 with 1% STP.
Treatment with H2O2 (without STP) decreased the WHC of the llets.

(Submitted 16 November 2006; Accepted in revised form 22 March 2007)
The characterisation of traditional Italian pasta obtained by mixing amounts of toasted whole meal with remilled semolina and other ingredients was obtained by means of physico-chemical, rheological, mechanical,
sensory and image analyses. The toasted meal showed higher ash, bre and protein contents than re-milled
semolina. The replacement of percentages of re-milled semolina with the toasted meal and soft our
increased tenacity and decreased extensibility and strength, making the dough less suitable for pasta-making.
The P L values were indices of high starch damage. The replacement of part of re-milled semolina and water
with toasted whole wheat meal, soft our and eggs increased the optimal cooking time and the amount of
water absorbed during cooking but made the other cooking parameters worse. The image analysis provided
evidence of the changes induced by the use of toasted wholemeal, soft our and eggs in the microscopic
structure of pasta protein and starch.

highest water absorption was detected for the 100% remilled dough. The dough made of the meal mixtures
absorbed lower amounts of water, since the already
discussed protein denaturation. The 100% re-milled
semolina dough showed intermediate values of stability
time and the highest value of maximum consistency
(softening index). Concerning the mixture of re-milled
semolina toasted whole meal soft our, the discussion
of the farinographic indices (response) was made dicult by the concurrent eects of toasting and bre
content. The replacement of semolina with 40% toasted
whole wheat meal and 20% soft our increased the
dough development time (produced by the interference
of bres and the protein denaturation) but reduced the
maximum dough consistency as a consequence of the
formation of the already discussed weaker gluten
network. Therefore, the high stability index detected
in this sample had a limited rheological signicance as
it was referred to a very low value of maximum
consistency.
Table 4 reports some physical characteristics of the
pasta samples. Moisture and water activity were well
correlated (R = 0.956). The replacement of percentages
of re-milled semolina with the toasted whole wheat meal
determined a decrease in moisture and consequently in
water activity. This reduction was particularly evident
also for BWPE samples, in which a greater percentage of

The role of volatile compounds on aroma and flavour perception
in coloured raw carrot genotypes

Summary
Quantitative analyses of volatile compounds isolated from raw carrots were combined with sensory analysis
in order to identify the role of these compounds on aroma and avour perception in coloured carrots. A
sensory map of carrots with dierent colours was developed, the content of the isolated volatiles was
determined and the role of these compounds for harsh avour perception in raw coloured carrots was
evaluated using multivariate data analysis. The sensory map showed that the coloured carrots formed
distinct groups within the sensory prole. The orange genotypes were characterised by having signicantly
higher intensities in carrot avour and aroma, while the reverse was true for the yellow genotypes. The purple
genotype was characterised by having signicantly higher intensity in sickenly sweet avour and nutty
avour, and the red genotype was characterised by having signicantly higher intensities in green aroma and
avour, bitterness and burning aftertaste. From the multivariate data analysis it was concluded that the
isolated terpenes do correlate to the harsh avour attributes.

variations in the total content of mono- and sesquiterpenes and in their qualitative and quantitative distribution. Consequently, sensory quality is inuenced by
genetic variation (Yoo et al., 1997; Kjeldsen et al., 2001;
Ulrich et al., 2003). Simon et al. (1980) emphasised the
importance of both volatile terpenes and sugars for the
avour of raw carrots. Their ndings suggested that
sweetness and overall preference are enhanced by sugars
and reduced by volatile compounds.
The objectives of the present study were: (i) to develop
a sensory map of carrots with dierent colours, (ii) to
determine the content of volatiles in coloured raw
carrots, (iii) to evaluate the role of these compounds for
harsh avour perception in raw carrots dened by
sensory proling using multivariate data analysis and
(iv) to analyse if the sugar level interacts with harsh
avour perception in carrots.
Materials and methods
Eleven genotypes (Purple Haze, Nottingham, Nebula, Soprano, Nairobi, Mello Yello, Tornado,
Yellow Stone, White Satin, Bolero and Line 1)
were selected to represent a large variation in odour and
taste by sensory screening of twenty-four carrot genotypes. The genotypes were grown in Denmark, Norway
and the Netherlands during 2004 and harvested at the
end of October 2004. The roots were transported to the
Faculty of Agricultural Sciences, Aarslev, Denmark and
stored at 1 C until February 2005 at >95% relative
humidity in an ethylene-free atmosphere. The genotypes
varied in root weight from approximately 50 to 150 g.
The most representative size within each genotype was
selected for analysis. Representative samples (8 kg) of
carrots were taken from each genotype and divided into
subsamples of 1.52.0 kg carrots of rst class quality,
i.e. carrots with no visible damage representing each
replicate. The carrots were then carefully washed,
manually hand-peeled and trimmed. Approximately
0.651.00 mm of the periderm was removed by peeling
and 2 cm of the tip and 2 cm of the top by trimming.
The peeled carrots were cut into 2 2 20-mm sticks
using a food processor (Robot Coupe CL50, Vincennes
Cedex, France), carefully mixed and were taken for
immediately analysis of volatile compounds and sensory
evaluation. All analyses were carried out in three
replicates. The rest of the raw carrots were frozen at
)24 C until analysed for sugars and dry matter
2 months later.

fruity or spicy-woody sensations cannot be deduced
from the present results. Clearly further investigations
are needed in order to correlate specic sensations to
individual terpenes, or if the dierent sensations are
because of synergistic eects among terpenes.

and possible applications. It was concluded that the
isolated terpenes related to the harsh avour attributes.
Further it was shown that interactions between sugar
and volatiles aect the sensory perception and are
therefore a highly relevant issue for consumer perception of coloured raw carrots. These relations between
sensory quality, chemical compounds and masking
eects are to be considered in the future development
of new genotypes with high consumer preference.

Summary
The eect of atmosphere modication, generated using three dierent packaging lms, on the quality of
cauliower minimally processed when stored at 4 or 8 C for up 20 days was evaluated. The colour, texture,
weight loss, sensory attributes, as well as microbial counts and sugars and ascorbic acid content were
determined. The atmosphere generated with the perforated polyvinylchloride (PVC) lm was hardly
modied, whereas the other two lms (non-perforated PVC and polypropylene lms) originated changes in
CO2 and O2 levels during storage. The dierent packaging conditions and storage temperature inuenced
yellowing. An increase in shear force was observed. Weight losses were below 5%. Mesophiles and
Pseudomonas counts were below 7 log CFU g)1, the populations being lower with lm B and lm C than
with lm A. Cauliower maintained an acceptable appearance in all the lms studied. Total sugars decreased
about 27% after 20 days of storage, whereas ascorbic acid did not change.

Figure 6 Reducing sugar content (%) in minimally processed cauliower packaged in three different types of lm (A: perforated PVC,
B: non-perforated PVC, C: microperforated polypropylene) during
20 days of storage. The data are the mean values at both temperatures
tested 4 and 8 C. LSD0.05 = 0.31.
The three types of lms studied for packaging minimally processed cauliower kept an acceptable appearance without o-odour over 20 days of storage at 4 or
8 C. After 20 days of storage at 4 or 8 C, a decrease
of 27% in sugars was observed, whereas ascorbic acid
content did not change.
The atmosphere generated with non-perforated PVC
lm reduced the microbial counts but increased cauliower yellowing compared with perforated PVC lm.
The cauliower packed in polypropylene lm resulted
in less weight loss and consequently less dehydratation,
but yellowing was observed. However, cauliowers
packed with this lm obtained the highest sensorial
score after 20 days of storage.

(Received 17 May 2007; Accepted in revised form 18 July 2007)
Summary
The aim of the present study was to investigate the eects of gelatinisation level, gum (locust bean gum,
xanthan gum, 3%) and or transglutaminase (TG, 0.5%) on quality characteristics of rice noodle. In order to
improve the dough forming ability, rice our was gelatinised at levels of 15%, 20%, 25% and 30%. Noodle
samples were evaluated in terms of cooking loss, total organic matter (TOM), water absorption, swelling
volume, maximum force, colour, sensory properties, pasting properties. Noodle sample with a gelatinisation
level of 25% had better cooking and sensory properties. Gum and or TG were added to this noodle formula.
The noodle samples including xanthan gum had better cooking and sensory properties. TG caused a
signicant decrease in TOM. The samples including locust bean gum had signicantly higher maximum force
values. Xanthan gum caused decreases in some Rapid ViscoAnalyzer viscosity values of the noodle samples,
while locust bean gum caused increases.

Materials
Part of the rice our (15%, 20%, 25% and 30%) was
gelatinised by adding boiling water at a ratio of our to
water of 1:2 and incubating for 5 min in a boiling water
bath. Then the gelatinised sample was rested at room
temperature for 2 h.

significantly different (P < 0.05); bMeans are based on triplicate analyses;
c
Means are based on duplicate analyses; dMeans are based on quadruplicate analyses.
TOM values of the TG-supplemented noodle or spaghetti samples can be explained by the formation of
covalent crosslinks catalysed by TG probably causing
reduced amounts of solids released during cooking.
Crosslinked proteins might form a network around the
starch granules and encapsulate them during cooking
and restrict the diusion of starch.
The colour values and sensory properties of the rice
noodle samples supplemented with gum and or TG are
given in Table 6. Gum and or TG addition seemed to
cause slight changes in L*, a* and b* colour values of
the noodle samples. A slight increase was observed for
a* colour values of the noodle samples supplemented
with xanthan gum and or TG. Sensory analysis results
showed that the noodle samples including xanthan gum
generally gave the highest sensory scores among the
noodle samples evaluated. The noodle samples including
locust bean gum seemed to be similar to control noodle
sample in terms of surface properties, chewing properties and taste. TG addition followed by a resting period
(1 or 2 h) prior to drying generally gave slightly higher
scores for the surface, chewing and mouthfeel after
chewing properties of the noodle samples supplemented
with xanthan gum.

Summary
The aim of this study is to arrive at a new classication of ready pasta meals, through the evaluation of their
global quality, since their growing number, present in the market, often may be cause of confusion to
consumers, because the parameters that contribute to the quality level are not clearly identiable and
measurable. After having explored several possible quality factors, we arrived at the conclusion that at least
ve must be taken into consideration: degree of pulping of the pasta, capacity to hold the sauce, weight
constancy, wholeness and defects. Then, three quality grades are here proposed and discussed. Particular
emphasis should be given to the sauce, because it highly inuences on the global quality of these foodstus.

2 Department of Chemical Engineering, Section of Food Technology, Gebze Institute of Technology, PO Box 141, 41400 Gebze, Kocaeli, Turkey
(Received 14 August 2007; Accepted in revised form 3 January 2008)
Summary
Flaked red peppers inoculated with Escherichia coli, Bacillus cereus and B. cereus spores were exposed to
gaseous ozone at 20 C and 70% relative humidity (RH). Ozone concentrations of 0.1, 0.5 and 1.0 ppm up to
360 min were used to reduce E. coli and B. cereus, whereas 1.0, 5.0, 7.0 and 9.0 ppm ozone concentrations for
360 min were used to treat B. cereus spores. When aked red peppers were treated with 1.0 ppm ozone
concentration for 360 min, B. cereus and E. coli counts were decreased by 1.5 and 2.0 log numbers,
respectively. Bacillus cereus spores were reduced by 1.5 log numbers at ozone concentrations of 7.0 ppm or
above for 360 min. There were slight changes in avour, appearance and overall palatability of aked red
peppers treated with ozone between 5.0 and 9.0 ppm. Ozone concentration (1.0 ppm) for 360 min can be
used to decrease E. coli and B. cereus, whereas ozone concentrations 5.0 ppm can be used to reduce
B. cereus spores.

The effect of pectin concentration on viscoelastic and sensory
properties of processed cheese

Summary
The eect of pectin addition on viscoelastic properties of model processed cheeses with 40% w w dry matter
and 50% w w fat in dry matter after 42 days of storage at temperature 6 2 C has been investigated using
dynamic oscillation rheometry (plateplate geometry; frequency range 0.150.0 Hz; temperature 20 C). The
role of pectin concentration (0.2%, 0.4%, 0.6% and 0.8% w w) has been studied. Also, the sensory
evaluation of samples has been made to assess cheese appearance, rigidity, spreadability and avour. All
samples with the pectin addition were more rigid and less spreadable compared with processed cheeses
without pectin. With the increasing concentration of pectin the storage (G) and loss (G) moduli rose at the
whole tested frequency range (0.150.0 Hz). Growing pectin content resulted in the decrease in loss tangent
(the nature of gel was changed to more elastic material). The dependence of processed cheese rigidity on
pectin concentration (in range 00.8% w w) was not linear. The appearance and avour were not worse by
pectin addition.

Chemical analysis
The small amplitude oscillatory shear test (determination of storage G and loss G moduli) is nowadays
useful and usual tool for evaluation of food gels
(Gabriele et al., 2001). This technique is widely used
for studying of viscoelastic properties of dairy products
including processed cheeses as demonstrated, e.g. works
of Lucey (2002), Lee et al. (2004), Shirashoji et al.
(2006), Lu et al. (2007). Table 1 reects that the
addition of pectin in all tested concentrations (0.2%,
0.4%, 0.6% and 0.8% w w) caused signicant growth in
the storage (G) and loss (G) moduli of model processed
cheeses compared to control samples; this increase was
observed in all used groups (P < 0.05). The similar
results described also Swenson et al. (2000) who
observed the increase of processed cheese rmness due
to hydrocolloid addition (gelatin, carrageenan, locust

Median values having the same superscript letter in each column are
not significantly different (P 0.05); each of groups was evaluated
separately.
Sensory analysis detected signicant increase in rigidity and spreadability in most products with rising
concentration of pectin in range of 00.6% w w. The
dierences in rigidity and spreadability between model
processed cheeses containing 0.6% and 0.8% w w of
pectin were sub-threshold for selected assessors and
were not detected by sensory analysis. Hence, the
combination of instrumental methods and sensory
analysis is useful for the quality control of processed
cheeses. Appearance and avour of model processed
cheese were not negatively modied by pectin addition.
The pectin usage for desired modication of texture
properties of processed cheeses is possible (in appropriate amount) without risks of worsening appearance and avour which are very important for
consumer.

Summary
The objective of the present work was to study the inuence of both passive and active modied atmosphere
packaging on sensory shelf life of butterhead lettuce leaves, stored at 5 and 10 C. Results showed that the
ecacy of active modied atmosphere with respect to passive modied atmosphere depended on the storage
temperature considered. When stored at 10 C, despite being subjected to dierent package atmosphere
composition, lettuce leaves in active and passive modied atmosphere showed the same sensory deterioration
rate and sensory shelf life. On the contrary, when stored at 5 C, lettuce leaves in active modied atmosphere
packages showed lower deterioration rate and higher sensory shelf life than those in passive modied
atmosphere. Sensory shelf life of lettuce in modied atmosphere packages was estimated using criteria
determined according to consumers rejection to purchase percentage, which consisted on an improvement
over more arbitrary criteria presented in most studies.

employed. Active modication occurs by the displacement of air in the package using a desired mixture of
gases. On the contrary, passive modication occurs
when the product is packaged under air using a selected
lm type, and therefore the atmosphere develops only as
a consequence of the product respiration and the
diusion of gases through the lm (Fonseca et al.,
2002; Farber et al., 2003).
Modied atmosphere packages should be carefully
designed as a system incorrectly designed may be
ineective or even shorten the shelf life of the product.
Normally, in modied atmosphere packages, the concentration of O2 is kept low (15%) to reduce the
respiration rate of fruits and vegetables, which prolongs
the self life of the products (Fonseca et al., 2002).
However, at extremely low O2 levels (<1%), anaerobic
respiration can occur, resulting in tissue destruction and
the production of substances that contribute to oavours and o-odours, as well as the potential for
growth of foodborne pathogens such as Clostridium
botulinum (Farber et al., 2003). The inhibition of CO2
on respiration rate depends on the type and developmental stage of the commodity, CO2 concentrations and
time of exposure (Fonseca et al., 2002). In modied
atmosphere packages, the excessive accumulation of
CO2 can cause physiological injuries to the product,
such as browning (Fonseca et al., 2002).

Effect of soluble CO2 stabilisation and vacuum packaging in the
shelf life of farmed sea bream and sea bass fillets

Summary
The objective of this study was to determine the dierences of sensory, microbiological and chemical quality
in vacuum-packaged llets of sea bream and sea bass previously submitted to soluble gas solubilisation
(SGS) with 100% CO2, at 2 bar for 30 and 60 min and stored at chilled temperature for 15 days. Apart from
pH value that showed a regular increase during chilled storage, the other chemical index [total volatile bases
nitrogen (TVB-N), trimethylamine nitrogen (TMA-N) and thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARs)]
had showed to be poor indicators of changes in quality of products. Final TVB-N values ranged from 16.0 to
17.4 mg N per 100 g and from 17.3 to 19.4 mg N per 100 g in sea bream and sea bass, respectively. Sensory
evaluation resulted as the most reliable parameter of quality decay. The results show that SGS treatment
kept the initial quality of llets for longer time, which was particularly visible on the sea bream llets, thus
contributing to an extension in 23 days of the shelf life. SGS had also a positive eect in the delay of
microbial growth.

Introduction
Council Directive of 22 July 1991, modied atmospherepacked and vacuum-packed sh products are considered
as fresh products. Consequently, CO2 can be used for
preservation of fresh sh products, when a shelf life
extension of only a few days is found to be sucient.
Modied atmospheres packaging (MAP) together
with refrigeration has become increasingly popular as
a method of food preservation ensuring quality maintenance with minimum losses (Ashie et al., 1996). To
increase shelf life of products, active packaging has
emerged within MAP as a new technological development in the eld of food packaging and is used whenever
the package requires a function other than providing an
inert barrier to external conditions. Generally, this
technique consists of the addition inside the package
of mechanisms to delay the product deterioration, such
as gas scavengers or emitters.
Soluble gas stabilisation (SGS) is a relatively recent
methodology of active packaging that has been proposed by Sivertsvik (2000) to extend the shelf life of
packaged sh.
The action of CO2 on the bacterial growth, namely, its
preservative eect caused by the absorption of CO2
from the package atmosphere to the product, is well
known from the principles in which the MAP techniques
are based upon. The application of SGS using elevated

The effect of cutting and fish-orientation systems on the deheading
yield of carp
Andrzej Dowgiallo*
Department of Processing Technology, Sea Fisheries Institute, Kottataja 1 Str., 81-332, Gdynia, Poland
(Received 4 January 2008; Accepted in revised form 28 March 2008)
Summary
Applied research into carp-deheading yield indicated that the V-cut with two circular knives averaged 77.9%;
the V-cut with one cup-type knife 75.6%, and the straight cut at a 79 angle to the sh backbone 77.4%.
The yield averages for deheaded and gutted carp were 63.6%, 62.4% and 62.9%, respectively. Standard
analysis of variance demonstrated that there were no statistically signicant dierences between the mean
yields of these three deheading systems. Furthermore, the potential inuence of the sh-orientation system in
close connection with the cutting systems on the deheading yield was analysed. This indicated that, with the
same yields, the straight-cutting system simplies the precise orientation of the sh in relation to the cutting
knives.

Introduction
The cutting lines, determined before yield measurements, are presented in Fig. 1. The classical V-cut lines
(Fig. 1a) are determined by:
1 the line tangential to the gill cover, running close behind
the pectoral n root, and
2 the line tangential to the collar bone, running close
behind the pectoral n root.
The angle between the cutting lines is 122. The
supraoccipital bone (a median bone on the upper rear
end of the cranium Fig. 2) is considered to be a part of
the tissue near the upper part of the gill cover. For this
reason, leaving this tissue with the head decreases the
deheading yield signicantly, but it makes lleting sh
easy.
The V-cut lines for this type of deheading with one
cup-type circular knife (Fig. 1b) are determined by: (i)
the line perpendicular to the sh backbone that runs
close behind the root of the pectoral n up to the
backbone; and (ii) the line tangential from the sh
backbone to the gill cover. The angle between the

(Received 8 October 2007; Accepted in revised form 15 April 2008)
Summary
The objective of this study was to determine the eects of soy-fortied bread on the sensory and rheological
properties. Ground defatted soy our was blended with wheat our at 3%, 7% and 12%. The organoleptic
characteristics of soy-fortied wheat breads were carried out by taste panel. The eect of this fortication on
the rheological properties of the resulting dough was investigated using farinograph and extensograph for
quality assessment of the nal product. The ash and protein contents of 3% and 7% wheatsoy bread blends
increased compared with control. The results revealed that organoleptic characteristics score such as
bendability, appearance, avour and taste, crust texture and overall acceptability properties of bread
containing 3% defatted soy our was highest even though it is not signicantly dierent. Therefore, we
conclude that adding 3% or 7% defatted soy our actually gives as good a loaf of bread as the 100% wheat
bread with higher nutritional quality and acceptable consumer attitude with rheological and sensory
characteristics.

Effects of gelatine type and concentration on the shelf-life stability
and quality of marshmallows
Johanna M. Tan & Miang H. Lim*
Department of Food Science, University of Otago, Dunedin 9054, New Zealand
(Received 6 March 2008; Accepted in revised form 11 April 2008)
Summary
The eects of gelatine concentration, bloom strength, and origin on the quality and shelf-life stability of
marshmallows were studied. All six sample treatments were carried out under accelerated storage conditions
of 25 C and 75% relative humidity (RH) for 25 weeks. Gelatine A 150 bloom had the highest viscosity
because of its highest concentration (2.54%), lowest density and greatest amount of moisture loss producing
the hardest marshmallows. Hardness and water activity measurements correlate for all sample treatments
indicating that moisture loss is the main mechanism for hardening. With the exception of Gelatine B 2.2%,
sugar crystallisation may have occurred in all sample treatments at week 20 which would have an impact on
hardness as well. Gel network formation may be contributing towards hardness in Gelatine B 2.2% as there
was an increase in hardness but no changes were perceived in water activity.

2.2% was sourced from old bovine. These results are
supported by Djagny et al. (2001) and Tiemstra (1964)
who documented that the viscosity of gelatine solutions
increases with increasing solids and is aected by
gelatine type and concentration.

Summary
Chemical, microbial and sensory quality aspects of the marinated ascidia Microcosmus sabatieri Roule, 1885,
were examined over a 150-day period at 6 C, under vacuum and air (control) packaging conditions using
three dierent formulations (with 12% sodium chloride and 3%, 5% or 7% acetic acid). Signicant
dierences were found between chemical and sensory analysis of three dierent marinated groups (P > 0.05)
during the storage period. There were also signicant dierences in pseudomonads, lactic acid bacteria and
yeast and moulds of the marinated groups by which lower bacterial counts were determined. N-3
polyunsaturated fatty acids concentrations decreased signicantly (P < 0.05), while total viable counts,
ammonia and total saturated fatty acid concentrations increased signicantly (P > 0.05) in all three groups
during storage. The dierences in fatty acid and ammonia concentrations were found to be useful as indexes
of freshness and decomposition of marinated M. sabatieri in storage. Shelf life of M. sabatieri marinades was
found to be 5 and 4 months under vacuum and air (control) packaging conditions respectively, at 6 C.

Five experienced panelists assessed the sensory properties of fouska samples during cold storage by the
method for sensory evaluation described by Gokoglu
(2002). Odour, colour, texture and general appearance
were used as criteria for acceptability. Intensities of
responses were evaluated on the verbal scale using a
seven-point category scale labelled slight (one to three
demerit points; intrinsic fresh odour, bright colour, rm
texture, glossy general appearance), moderate (four to
six demerit points; putrid odour, opaque colour, tight
texture, smooth surface general appearance) and extreme (seven demerit points; oensive odour, grey
discoloured colour, soft texture, dull general appearance) (Cardello et al., 1982). The sensory evaluation was
performed, at a month interval.

Effect of freezethaw cycles and additives on rheological and
sensory properties of ready to bake frozen chapaties

Summary
The wheat grains were conditioned at 18% moisture level for 1 h followed by heating for 80 s in a microwave
oven to reduce the activity of polyphenol oxidase as well as other lipolytic and oxidative enzymes. The dough
samples were prepared from whole wheat our (milled from microwave treated wheat grains) using 68%
water and 2% salt on our weight basis as common ingredients. The additives like glycerol monostearate and
glycerol (5% and 1% respectively on our weight basis) were also used in order to study their eects on the
quality of ready to bake frozen chapaties (R-BFC) during freezethaw cycles. Alveographic properties of
R-BFC as well as textural prole and sensory quality of chapaties prepared from R-BFC samples were
evaluated during repeated freezethaw (FT) cycles. Results showed that the alveographic properties (P, L,
and W) decreased signicantly (P 0.05) in all the samples after each FT cycle, while glycerol added samples
showed the least changes. Chapati hardness increased in all the samples up to fourth FT cycle, thereafter
sharply decreased. However, chapaties with 1% glycerol were rated better in terms of mouth feel and texture
during FT cycles.
Keywords
Additives, alveographic properties, freezethaw cycles, ready to bake frozen chapaties, texture prole.

probably due to the fact that glycerol being a humectants, absorb the free water of the dough and thus
making the water unavailable for the recrystalisation
and thus preventing the damage of gluten protein caused
by the ice crystals.

Rheological measurements
Gelation proles were monitored using a strain-controlled ARES RFS3 rheometer (TA Instruments, Eschborn, Germany) with a cup-and-bob-geometry (inner
diameter: 32 mm; outer diameter: 34 mm; bob length:
33.5 mm), and temperature was maintained with an
accuracy of 0.1 C by a computer-controlled circulator.
