Optimization of red raspberry levels for improving physicochemical, rheological and sensory characteristics of fermented goat milk
摘要
This study aimed to investigate how varying concentrations of red raspberry (RR) (ranging from 0% to 5%) influence the physicochemical properties, rheology, and sensory quality of fermented goat milk (FGM) over a 21-day storage. As the RR concentration from 0 to 5%, the water-holding capacity (WHC), hardness, total phenolic content (TPC), superoxide anion scavenging ability of FGM significantly increased (P<0.05), while its adhesiveness, apparent viscosity and sensory score exhibited a trend of increasing initially and then declining. Separately, sensory and physicochemical properties decline significantly during storage (P < 0.05). Furthermore, principal component analysis (PCA) and heatmap analysis indicated that 3% RR-FGM exhibited the best overall physicochemical, rheological, and sensory characteristics. Therefore, this study provided a reference framework for the value-added utilization of red raspberries, and also offered the methodological guidance for the industrial development of RR-fortified goat milk-based fermented products.
