Physically modified flours have high potential as fat-replacer in low-fat mayonnaise formulations as they are cheaper than modified starches and successfully respond to the consumers' request for clean label products. Starting from a standard fullfat ("FF", 80% oil) sample formulation, three mayonnaises with reduced-fat amount were produced (60%, 40%, 25% oil) substituting oil with a physically modified flour, used as fat-replacer. Mayonnaises (both untreated and pasteurised) were investigated for their physico-chemical properties and sensorial attributes. Emulsions were well formed for all mayonnaise formulations and presented acceptable consistency, with the only exception of the full-fat sample which was unstable after heating. High and comparable emulsion stability was noticed among reduced-fat mayonnaise samples. Mayonnaise with 25% oil content showed hardness and G″ comparable to FF, while mayonnaises with 40% and 60% oil content were harder and showed higher G′ than other samples. Overall, rheological results corroborate the ability of the fat-replacer to counterbalance the absence of fat gelling/thickening the continuous phase of the emulsion. Regarding the colour, a fading (L* increase and a* and b* decrease) of the product with increasing fat reduction was found. Sensory acceptability was positive for all the samples, with 40% oil mayonnaise being the most preferred. The colour of the reduced-fat mayonnaises was perceived as paler and the flavour less persistent than the FF sample. The physically modified corn flour was found to be a valuable fat replacer in reduced-fat mayonnaise.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
