The article examines the main trends in obtaining new types of confectionery products with a balanced composition and functional properties, the production of which is based on the use of a product of plant raw materials processing - carob. Studies on increasing the nutritional value and reducing the energy intensity of marshmallow-type whipped products with the use of carob and the sugar substitute isomalt are given. Information on the functional properties of carob, the effect of the roasting process on its quality indicators, and the possibility of using carob in the production of confectionery products to expand the range of raw ingredients and increase their nutritional value were considered. A comparative description of the nutritional and energy value of medium-roasted carob and cocoa powder is given. The article examines the influence of the product of the processing of plant raw materials of carob on the nature of the formation of the structure of marshmallow masses of reduced energy content, and their main structural-mechanical, physico-chemical and organoleptic indicators are determined. Based on the determination of the structural and mechanical properties of marshmallow masses, such as critical shear stress, degree of general deformation and density of the mass, it is proposed to reduce the duration of their whipping by increasing the rate of structure formation of the mass when using carob powder, so the complete replacement of cocoa powder with carob leads to an increase critical shear stress by 51.83 Pa and an increase in mass density by 171 kg/m3 compared to the control sample. As a result of a complex of conducted studies of physico-chemical and organoleptic quality indicators, the expediency of using the product of the processing of plant raw materials of carob in reduced-energy marshmallow products with 75% isomalt has been proven, it is recommended to completely replace cocoa powder with carob at the stage of whipping the mass. The calculated nutritional and energy value of the new marshmallow products showed a decrease in the total content of fats and carbohydrates in the developed products, an increase in the content of vegetable dietary fibers by 28% and a decrease in the energy value by 55.65 kcal. Enrichment of marshmallow products with minerals, in particular calcium, sodium and vitamins B6 and E, was noted. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
