Optimal Angoori petha (AP) production involves specific osmotic dehydration parameters. Research identified ideal lime water concentration, treatment time, and sugar concentration for maximum sensory acceptability in this popular Indian sweet.
Area of Science:
- Food Science and Technology
- Agricultural Engineering
- Sensory Science
Background:
- Angoori petha (AP) is a widely consumed Indian confection.
- Traditional manufacturing methods require optimization for consistent quality.
Purpose of the Study:
- To determine optimal osmotic dehydration parameters for Angoori petha (AP) manufacture.
- To enhance sensory attributes and physico-chemical properties of AP.
Main Methods:
- Utilized a central composite rotatable design (CCRD) for experimental optimization.
- Investigated effects of lime water concentration, treatment time, and sugar concentration.
- Evaluated sensory parameters (flavor, texture, appearance, acceptability) and physico-chemical properties.
Main Results:
- Lime water concentration and treatment time significantly impacted flavor, texture, appearance, and overall acceptability (P < 0.05).
- Increased lime water treatment time and concentration led to a decline in color and appearance scores.
- Optimal conditions identified: 12.6% lime water concentration, 54.1 min treatment time, and 87.9% sugar concentration for maximum acceptability.
Conclusions:
- Osmotic dehydration parameters critically influence Angoori petha quality.
- The study provides precise conditions for manufacturing a highly acceptable Angoori petha product.
