Effect of the Cryopowder "Beet" on Quality Indicators of New Curd Desserts

Abstract

Natural plant bio-additives deserve special attention, because due to their natural properties they provide dairy products with functional properties. The use of such additives makes it possible to fill the shortage of essential nutrients, increase non-specific resistance of an organism to the effect of unfavorable environmental factors. A skillful combination of cryopowders and the dairy base are very promising both in technological and social terms.The technology of curd desserts with varying fat mass fraction using the cryopowder "Beet" was developed. The expedience of using the cryopowder "Beet" in the technology of new sweet curd mass was substantiated. The optimal dose of the cryopowder "Beet" was proposed. The possibility of using the cryopowder "Beet" as a component of health promoting curd desserts was studied. The amount of the specified cryo-additive varies depending on the fat mass fraction of the dairy base. The organoleptic, physical, and chemical and microbiological characteristics were studied in the experimental samples. An analysis of organoleptic characteristics of curd masses with the cryopowder "Beet" shows that they did not have any substantial changes and fully comply with regulatory requirements. Thus, the color of the sweet curd mass was light-beet, raspberry with separate white inclusions of crushed powder-like cryogenic bio-additive. The curd masses retained the smell of fresh sour milk. When introducing the cryopowder "Beet" into the curd mass, the energy value grew.The revealed changes in the amino acid composition of curd masses indicate that the use of cryopowder "Beet" makes it possible to enhance nutritional and biological value of the protein component. In particular, we established an increase in the total amount of amino acids by 1.73 %; by 1.16 % in the composition of essential amino acids, and by 2.17 % in the composition of non-essential amino acids.The proposed product expands the domestic range of dairy products for functional purposes
