Abstract
High pressure technology (400 MPa at 27 ± 1.5 °C for 10 min) was applied for the processing of jam, and target was the reduction (∼47%) of sugar requirement by using a fiber-rich fruit, that is, sapodilla. Different formulations of jam containing various combinations of pectin (0.5 to 5.0%), sugar (45 to 65%), and acid (0.5 to 1) were investigated for textural, rheological, and sensory properties of the pressure-processed jam. The textural parameters mainly hardness (varied 16 to 594 g force) of the jam samples were significantly (P < 0.01) affected by the formulation ingredients viz. sugar and pectin content. Also, an interaction effect (P < 0.01) of sugar and pectin was observed on the jam hardness. The rheological parameters (gel strength, K') also varied (1036 to 2852 Pa) with the change in total soluble solids (TSS) and pectin content. However, the samples having lower TSS content (e.g. 45%) and appropriate pectin content (4.0, 4.5, or 5.0%) were similar (P > 0.05) to the samples having higher TSS content (65%) and corresponding pectin level (0.5, 1.0, or 1.5%) based on the rheological properties. On the other hand, the samples with middle levels of pectin at the corresponding TSS level (45 to 65%) were highest (score of >6 on seven-point hedonic scale) and equally preferred (P > 0.05) by the sensory panelist based on overall acceptability calculated from the scores obtained for sensory attributes viz. color, aroma, sweetness, sourness, texture, and spreadability. Therefore, the jam formulation containing sapodilla pulp as a base material, TSS 45%, pectin 4.5%, and citric acid 0.5% was determined to be the preferred formulation for the production of reduced-calorie, pressure-processed jam based on its gel strength, overall acceptability, and storage stability. PRACTICAL APPLICATION: High-fiber fruit was used for the development of a reduced-calorie high pressure processed jam in this study. The inherited or externally added fiber can favor the reduction in sugar requirement of a food product particularly those processed by high pressure, leading to reduction in calories. The findings of this study can be used for the development of novel HPP products with functional properties.
