Abstract
Resumo O sorvete é um produto amplamente consumido e aceito pela população mundial, e, por essa razão, é de grande importância a busca por formulações que possam ser menos calóricas, especialmente com redução ou ausência de sacarose. A determinação do perfil sensorial tempo-intensidade múltiplo (também denominado perfil sensorial dinâmico), associada ao estudo de aceitação, pode ser de grande importância para direcionar estudos e obter informações que possam contribuir com a obtenção de conhecimentos para a indústria de alimentos sobre mudanças de ingredientes e melhoria da qualidade sensorial. O objetivo do presente estudo foi estudar diferentes formulações de sorvetes de chocolate simbiótico, sendo uma adoçada com sacarose e outras sete adoçadas com diferentes edulcorantes (aspartame, sucralose, neotame e estévia com 60%, 80%, 95% e 97% de rebaudiosídeo A), por meio da aplicação de análise tempo-intensidade múltipla, análise de aceitação e verificação da influência da presença da inulina, do L. acidophilus e dos edulcorantes em características físico-químicas do produto. As amostras que apresentaram maior aceitação foram adoçadas com sacarose e sucralose, seguidas por estévia com 95% e 97% de rebaudiosídeo A. Por meio da análise do mapa interno de preferência, foi observada a importância pronunciada do sabor na aceitação das amostras. O edulcorante que possibilitou a obtenção do sorvete de chocolate de baixa caloria simbiótico, sem diferença significativa com o produto adoçado com sacarose em perfil de doçura, amargor e sabor de leite, bem como em aceitação, foi a sucralose. Os sorvetes de aceitação inferior foram adoçados com aspartame, neotame e estévia, provavelmente em razão do gosto amargo mais intenso e com maior tempo de duração (p < 0,05). A Os sorvetes com inulina em sua formulação apresentaram derretimento mais lento quando comparados à amostra sem inulina e formulada com sacarose.

The Potential of Modulating the Reducing Sugar Released (and the Potential Glycemic Response) of Muffins Using a Combination of a Stevia Sweetener and Cocoa Powder. Foods 2019; 8:E644.

Abstract
Muffins are popular bakery products. However, they generally contain high amounts of sugar. The over-consumption of muffins may therefore result in a high calorie intake and could lead to increased health risks. For this reason, muffins were prepared substituting sucrose with two levels of a base of stevia (Stevianna®). In addition, cocoa powder and vanilla were added to the muffin formulation with and without Stevianna® to mask any potential off flavors. Results illustrate that muffins with 50% Stevianna® replacement of sucrose were similar to the control samples in terms of volume, density and texture. However, replacement of sugar with 100% Stevianna® resulted in reductions in height (from 41 to 28 mm), volume (from 63 to 51 mL), and increased firmness (by four-fold) compared to the control sample. Sugar replacement significantly reduced the in vitro predictive glycemic response of muffins (by up to 55% of the control sample). This work illustrates the importance of sugar in maintaining muffin structure as well as controlling the rate of glucose release during simulated digestions.

Abstract
High pressure homogenization has been used for preparation and stabilization of emulsions and suspensions, promoting physical changes in products, such as viscosity change. However, its use in model systems for fruit nectar is innovative. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of the processing in high pressure homogenizer on the rheological behavior and the sensory attributes in model system of gellan gum. Gellan gum (0.05%), organic acids (0.3%), and sucrose (10%) were used to prepare the solutions, which were subsequently homogenized (0-control, 25 and 50 MPa) at 25°C. Rheological and sensory analyses were performed. The samples presented pseudoplastic behavior without residual stress and were characterized by the Ostwald-de-Waele model. The homogenization pressure (PH ) altered the viscosity of the model systems, reduced the consistency index and apparent viscosity, and increased the flow behavior index. The stimuli sour taste and viscosity differed among the parameters evaluated in the time-intensity analysis. No differences were observed for the maximum intensity of viscosity between the treated samples (25 and 50 MPa), which exhibited a similar temporal profile. Therefore, studies on the rheological and sensory behavior are fundamental to product development and process optimization. The present study shows new trends on the use of the high pressure homogenizer and the sensory profile in model systems that can be used for fruit nectar. This study evaluated the sensory attributes through the time-intensity analysis. The sensory data indicate that the homogenization pressure altered the viscosity perception, but did not alter the perception of the acid taste for the same organic acid used. Sensory as well as rheological data present new alternatives for product development. These findings are interesting for future research, equipment design, and process optimization.

de Medeiros AC, Filho ERT, Bolini HMA. Impact of Natural and Artificial Sweeteners Compounds in the Sensory Profile and Preference Drivers Applied to Traditional, Lactose-Free, and Vegan Frozen Desserts of Chocolate Flavor. J Food Sci 2019; 84:2973-2982. [PMID: 31546291 DOI: 10.1111/1750-3841.14806] [Citation(s) in RCA: 15] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/28/2019] [Revised: 07/06/2019] [Accepted: 08/07/2019] [Indexed: 12/23/2022]
Abstract
The study developed traditional and light chocolate-flavor frozen dessert formulations, aimed at the general public, lactose intolerants, and vegans, and evaluated influences on quantitative sensory profiles and consumer acceptance with the replacement of sucrose by sweeteners in low-calorie versions. Twelve samples with different matrices were studied, sweetened with sucrose, sucralose, and stevia. The ideal concentration of sucrose (9%: dairy samples and 15%: vegan samples) was determined by the JAR scale. The sweetness equivalence was determined by the magnitude estimation method. The physical-chemical parameters were evaluated: pH, overrun, melting, and texture. The sensory profile evaluated through Quantitative Descriptive Analysis (QDA). The QDA data were correlated with acceptance data by partial least squares regression (PLS). The results showed that the substitution of traditional milk by lactose-free milk in the formulation did not change the characteristics of the chocolate ice cream. The use of sweeteners presented differences for milk flavor, bitter taste, bitter residual, and melting. The use of stevia extract was characterized by the presence of bitter taste, residual sweet and bitter that inhibited the perception of milk flavor, but not directly impacting the acceptance by consumers. The sucralose presented a profile closer to the sucrose, presenting lower intensity for the undesirable attributes such as bitter taste and residual bitter. There was no significant difference in the use of soy or rice protein in vegan versions, however, the use of sweeteners and body agents negatively impacted consumers' acceptance by attenuating the flavor of vegetable protein and raising gummy coating during the melting. PRACTICAL APPLICATION: This study shows the development and sensory profile of frozen chocolate desserts. Traditional and modified samples have also been produced for consumers with dietary restrictions such as vegans, vegetarians, lactose intolerants, and diabetics. Throughout the sensory and statistical analysis, it was identified how to replace sucrose by the natural glycoside sweetener of steviol, as well as the impact on the sensory profile and the acceptance of the different formulations. The results found may provide important information for researchers in food industries who need to produce frozen chocolate desserts for vegans, vegetarians, lactose intolerant, and diabetic consumers. Stevia and sucralose were good substitutes for sucrose in the formulation of frozen desserts without lactose, but not in vegan versions (with rice and soy protein).

Perception of Bitter Taste through Time-Intensity Measurements as Influenced by Taste Modulation Compounds in Steviol Glycoside Sweetened Beverages. BEVERAGES 2019.

Abstract
To limit sugar consumption and maintain sweetness levels in the diet, food and beverage developers often use high potency sweeteners (HPSs) as alternatives. Steviol glycosides are considered a consumer-friendly alternative but they are perceived to have a bitter taste accompanied by sweet and bitter lingering. Recently, taste modulators have been discovered that help to alleviate negative attributes like bitterness of HPSs. To show that taste modulation compounds (TMCs) decrease perceived bitterness associated with steviol glycosides, a trained descriptive panel (n = 9) performed a single-attribute time-intensity (TI) assessment over 2 min. Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) was used to analyze TI curves and curve parameters (AUC, Imax and Tmax). Principal components analysis (PCA) was also used to assess TI curves. Results showed that statistically significant results depended on the analysis method. Bitterness perception was shown to persist less over 2 min for steviol glycosides with TMCs when assessing raw scores and parameters. The same was not found using differences from control curves or weighted curves from PCA. These findings demonstrate that particular TMCs may subtly decrease perceived bitterness of steviol glycosides. However, business objectives of TMC use may dictate what kind of analysis method to use when analyzing perceived bitter perception of TMCs over time.

Abstract
Stevia rebaudiana (Bertoni), a perennial shrub, is the sweetest plant belonging to the Asteraceae family. Stevia leaves are an excellent source of diterpene glycosides stevioside, rebaudioside A-F, dulcoside, and steviolbioside, which are responsible for sweetness and have been utilized commercially for sugar substitution in foods, beverages, and medicines. To the best of our knowledge, a large number of studies have been carried out on composition, health implications, and safety of steviol glycosides. However, commercial production of stevia-incorporated food products needs further research in order to meet the huge global demand. Stevia-incorporated products possess better sweetening potency and maximum consumer acceptability, when compared with other sugar substitutes. Hence, the current research attempts to review the health promoting effects of stevia with special emphasis on its application in the food system. The paper majorly features 1) the anti-hyperglycemic, anti-hypertensive, anti-caries, anti-inflammatory, and anti-cancer benefits of stevia, 2) value-added stevia-incorporated products, e.g. bakery, dairy, and beverages, 3) the effect of incorporation of stevia on physicochemical, rheological, and nutritional food properties, 4) the current status and regulatory perspective of utilizing stevia at national and international level. Due to legislative actions and growing consumer awareness, public interest in natural sweeteners has significantly increased. Since the use of artificial sweetener has recently been questioned, the data the present article provides will be useful for consumers and manufacturers that seek an alternative.
