Development of Sugar Cane Molasses in Formulations of Madeleines, Mini Croissants, and Buns Incorporated with Interesterified Oil

الملخص EN

Interesterification becomes a very powerful tool in food industry.

A blend of coconut oil and palm stearin is enzymatically interesterified by lipase (EC 3.1.1.3) in an aquarium reactor.

The interesterified blend obtained is then incorporated in madeleines, mini croissants, and mini rolls.

Physicochemical parameters’ assessment for molasses used is in good agreement with the international standards.

Fatty acid composition of the interesterified blend and sugar content of molasses were assessed by gas chromatography (GC) and high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC).

A sensory evaluation of the madeleines, mini croissants, and buns has been carried out by untrained tasters, with a statistical analysis by a principal component analysis (PCA).

Chromatographic characterization by Gas Chromatography revealed fatty acids, ranging from C6: 0 to C22: 0.

Liquid sugar’s content by high performance liquid chromatography revealed three main sugars: sucrose, glucose, and fructose.

Results of the sensory analysis showed the good quality of the prepared products.
