Muffin is a product that highly appreciated by consumers and one of the main ingredients of muffin production is butter which contains high cholesterol and saturated fat. However, in recent years, consumers’ demand increases for healthier ingredient and similar taste to the origin. Therefore, this study was carried out to evaluate the physical properties and sensory acceptability of butter replacement with pumpkin puree on basic muffin ingredient. Muffin formulations of three were formulated to replace butter with pumpkin puree at concentrations: 20% (Formulation A), 25% (Formulation B); and 30% (Formulation C). A muffin formulated with butter was served as a control. All muffins were analysed for muffin’s height, texture profiles, colour, and consumer acceptability. Results found that replacement of pumpkin puree in muffin formulations increased (P>0.05) muffin height. Replacement of pumpkin puree in muffin formulations (from 30% to 20%) was also significantly increased (P<0.05) hardness and chewiness of muffins as compared to control muffin. However, the cohesiveness of muffins was not differed (P>0.05) among all formulations. Analysis of colour found that lightness (L*) of pumpkin puree muffins significantly decreased (P<0.05) as compared to control muffin when the amount of pumpkin puree was increased in muffin formulations (from 20% to 30%). However, replacement of pumpkin puree in muffin formulations increased (P>0.05) a* (green to red) and b* (blue to yellow) values of muffins. In the assessment of pumpkin puree muffin acceptability, Hedonic test obtained that consumers preferred muffin with 30% of pureed pumpkin replacement with control muffin in all attributes (colour, aroma, texture, taste, and overall acceptance) and comparable (P>0.05) with control muffin. Thus, these findings suggested that 30% pumpkin puree was feasible to be used as butter replacer in muffin formulation.

Substitution of dietary saturated fat by unsaturated fat and the reduction of dietary cholesterol intake leads to a decrease of LDL cholesterol concentration accompanied usually by a decrease of HDL cholesterol. Method: 18 young male volunteers were fed for 4 weeks either a high cholesterol saturated fat diet or low cholesterol and unsaturated fat diet in crossover design. At the end of both experimental periods, the lipoprotein concentration was determined. In addition, the reverse cholesterol transport from 14 C cholesterol labeled macrophages in tissue cultures was analyzed. Reverse cholesterol transport was calculated as the percentage of radioactivity released from pre-labeled cells to incubation media with serum of each individuals. Results: Highly significant decrease of LDL cholesterol after the unsaturated fat diet was accompanied by a significant decrease of the HDL cholesterol from 1.25 mmol/l to 1.05 mmol/l. Reverse cholesterol transport did not significantly change when the data of high cholesterol saturated fat diet (9.97 ± 1.45) and low cholesterol unsaturated fat diet (9.53 ± 1.41) were compared. There was no correlation between data of the decrease of HDL cholesterol concentration and change in reverse cholesterol transport. Conclusion: We conclude that dietary treatment by hypocholesterolemic diet accompanied by a reduction of HDL cholesterol does not lead to the decrease in reverse cholesterol transport.

Intake of western diet (WD) high in saturated fat and cholesterol causes formation of foamy monocytes (FMs; monocytes containing intracellular lipid droplets) in the circulation, which contribute to atherogenesis, in apoE-/- mice. It remains to be determined which diet component, fat or cholesterol, is more important in inducing FM formation. Mediterranean-type diet (MedD) high in monounsaturated fat (MUF) protects against atherosclerotic events. It is unknown whether MedD affects FM formation. To address these questions, 4 groups of apoE-/- mice were randomly assigned to the following diets: 1) WD (21% w/w milkfat containing 13.3% saturated fat and 5.9% MUF; 0.2% w/w cholesterol); 2) high-fat low-cholesterol diet (HFD, 21% milkfat; 0.05% cholesterol); 3) high-cholesterol low-fat diet (HCD, 5% milkfat; 0.2% cholesterol); 4) MedD with high cholesterol (21% fat containing 2.6% saturated fat and 13.4% MUF from 15% extra-virgin olive oil, 3% walnut fat, 1.5% almond fat and 1.5% hazelnut fat; 0.2% cholesterol). FMs and phenotypes were examined by flow cytometry. Calorie intake and weight changes were not different among the 4 groups of mice. At 1 week on diets, mice on WD or HCD, but not mice on HFD, had abundant FMs in the circulation (Table). Compared to mice on WD or HCD, mice on MedD had lower proportions of FMs and lower side scatter (SSC) values, indicating less lipid, in FMs. Mean fluorescence intensity of CD36, a scavenger receptor, tended to be lower on FMs in mice on MedD than in mice on WD. At 8 weeks, mice on HFD also had abundant FMs, which were, however, still lower than those in mice on WD. Compared to those in mice on WD, the percentage and SSC values of FMs remained lower in mice on MedD for 8 weeks (Table). In summary, high cholesterol appears to be the major dietary component that induces early FM formation in apoE-/- mice while persistent intake of high saturated fat also induces FM formation. Fewer FMs in mice on MedD than on WD or HCD suggests that MUF in MedD may inhibit FM formation.

AbstractObjectiveBread is the largest contributor of Na to the American diet and excess Na consumption contributes to premature death and disability. We sought to determine the Na level at which consumers could detect a difference between reduced-Na bread and bread with typical Na content, and to determine if consumer sensory acceptability and purchase intent differed between reduced-Na bread and bread with typical Na content.DesignDifference testing measured ability to detect differences in control bread and reduced-Na bread using two-alternative forced choice testing. Acceptability was measured using a nine-point hedonic scale and purchase intent was measured using a five-point purchase intent scale.SettingDifference and acceptability testing were conducted in Portland, OR, USA in January 2013.SubjectsEighty-two consumers participated in difference testing and 109 consumers participated in acceptability testing.ResultsConsumers did not detect a difference in saltiness between the control bread and the 10 % reduced-Na bread, but did detect a difference between the control bread and bread reduced in Na content by 20 % and 30 %. Na reductions had no effect on consumer acceptability of sensory characteristics, including overall liking, appearance, aroma, flavour, sweetness, salt level and texture, or purchase intent.ConclusionsReducing Na levels by up to 30 % in the sandwich bread tested did not affect consumer liking or purchase intent of the product. These results support national recommendations for small, incremental Na reductions in the food supply over time and assure bread manufacturers that sensory characteristics and consumer purchase intent of their products will be preserved after Na reductions occur.

Recent trend in production of healthy food products has stimulated ice cream manufacturers to minimize the saturated fat content by replacing it with high-unsaturated fat or oil such as canola oil, yet maintaining the physical properties of the end product. Addition of maltodextrin (MD) into the formulation may assist in obtaining the desirable physical properties. Therefore, the objective of this study was to develop hard ice creams containing different ratios of canola oil and MD. Four ice cream formulations were prepared by weight: MD-0 (5% oil, 0% MD), MD-1 (4% oil, 1% MD), MD-2 (3% oil, 2% MD), and MD-3 (2% oil, 3% MD). Both MD-2 and MD-1 exhibited the highest (45.05±4.28%) and the lowest (32.49±1.20%) overrun, respectively, yet there was no significant difference (p > 0.05) between all ice creams in terms of hardness (3.20-4.79 kg). Additionally, there was no significant difference (p > 0.05) between MD-0, MD-1, and MD-2 in their melting rates which were significantly slower (p < 0.05) than those of MD-3. In overall, decreasing the amount of oil (i.e. increasing amount of MD) resulted in significant (p < 0.05) increase in overrun, yet had no significant (p > 0.05) effect on the ice cream's hardness and melting rate except for MD-3 for the latter. The ice cream that exhibited the most desirable physical properties was MD-2 (overrun, 45.05±4.28%; hardness, 3.73±0.75 kg; slowest melting rate). This finding highlighted the potential of MD in providing desirable texture to the ice creams to certain extent. Future studies are recommended in maintaining the ice cream's flavour and physical properties upon storage, and in determining its sensory acceptability among consumers.
