A bottle gourd (Lagenariasiceraria) seed is a good source of fat, dietary fiber, minerals and protein with many health benefi This work aimed to improve the chemical, rheological and organoleptic properties of low fat ultrafiltrated (UF) white soft cheese using bottle gourd seeds powder (BGSP). Low portion without additiveswas used as a control, while the other portions were supplemented with 3, 6 and 9% BGSP (w/w of milk retentate) before the pasteurization. Samples of all resultant cheese treatments were stored at 5±1 analyzed for physicochemical, rheological characteristics as well as microbiological and sensory attributes when fresh and during storage period. The results showed that there was a slight decrease in moisture content in all cheese samples during storage. By increasing the proportion of BGSP; the contents of total solids, fat, total protein, fiber and ash of the soft cheesewere increased. Cohesivenessand softness increased as well. Moreover, low fat soft cheese supplemented with 6% BGSP had the best sensory properties. Therefore, it is recommended to use BGSP for the manufacture of functional low soft cheese as a new product with healthy properties.
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.
