| Abstract [eng] |
In this study, bigel-based vegetable oil spreads with lingonberry pomace addition were prepared. The impact of gelatin, agar and collagen was examined as structuring agents as was the effect of lecithin concentration (0.5, 1.0, 1.5%). Prepared systems were evaluated by physical and chemical stability and structural and rheological properties. It was found that all bigel formulations were self-standing with no signs of phase separation at ambient temperature immediately after preparation and after two weeks of storage at 4 degrees C temperature. The lingonberry pomace addition affected grainy structure formation with homogenous and uniform distribution of fiber particles throughout the bigel matrix and it also altered the colour of the bigels toward a purple-red. Texture, rheological properties and colour of the spread formulations were affected by the type of the structuring agent as well as the lecithin concentration. The presence of the lingonberry pomace enhanced the resistance of the bigel samples to the oxidation process and it was confirmed by the DPPH center dot inhibition, peroxide value and oxipress test. Overall, the formulated bigel-based spreads could be beneficial and had a potential application as healthier fat spreads and be a source of dietary fibers (11 g of fibre per 100 g of the spread). |
