Experimental Food Project:Final PresentationGluten free pumpkin muffins HLSC 410: Experimental Foods Fall 2008 Jen Manosh Katie Cole
Literature Review Population: • Gluten sensitivity, health conscious persons • Celiac disease patients - Autoimmune disorder, small intestine inflamed • Nutrient malabsorption • Eliminate gluten • Abundance of gluten limits access to safe products
Literature Review (contd) • Market: -Celiac disease- • 3 million affected in U.S. • (1 % of population) • Caucasian, middle & upper class • More commonly associated with other diseases
Literature Review (contd) • Muffin sales • 4.5% bakery sales • 1991: 531 million, • in 1995: 680 million • Current market- $700 million market, expected to increase to $1.7 billion in 2010 • Established market- Old Windmill, Pamela’s Products, Arrowhead Mill’s, ‘Cause You’re Special, Mr. Ritt’s Bakery, Glutino
Nutrition Goals • Gluten-free • 100% • Increase fiber content • Up to 3 grams • Decrease fat content • 10%
Project Design • Control Recipe • Variation 1 • Variation 2 • Ingredients • Cost Analysis • Nutrition Facts
Product Evolution Variation 1: Brown rice flour, Decreased ½ oil, replaced with applesauce, 2 egg yolks removed, added ground flax seed & coconut. • Flat appearance, gritty texture • Moist, crumbly
Product Evolution (contd) Variation 2: Combination of sorghum, soy, & amaranth flours. Ground flaxseed added, oil replaced with applesauce, 1 egg yolk, raisins, & walnuts removed • Rubbery texture • Spicy flavor • Slightly moist • Aftertaste noted
Product Evolution (contd) • Variarion 1a: Brown rice, amaranth flour (1:2 ratio) • Vegetable oil reduced, applesauce added, 2 egg yolks removed, ground flaxseed & xanthan gum added • Variation 1b: Brown rice, amaranth flour (2:1 ratio) • All other ingredients same as Variation 1a
Product Evolution (contd) • Variation 2a: Soy, sorghum flour, (2:1 ratio) • Ground flaxseed added, oil removed, applesauce added, 1 egg yolk removed, coconut added, xanthan gum reduced • Variation 2b: Soy, sorghum flour (1:2 ratio), • Oil, xanthan gum reduced, applesauce, coconut added, all egg yolks removed
Food science challenges Xanthan gum -overly thick consistency Amaranth flour -after taste Brown rice flour -gritty texture Fat content -Decreased mouth feel
Data Assessment: Taste Testing Day • Scoring Differences Table -Characteristics • Hedonic Scale Test -Both variations • Sensory Tool discussion- Results: Muffin #673 positive feedback Muffin #241 negative feedback
Statistics • Color: • Golden Brown • Light Brown • Orangey • Brown • Dark Brown • Statistical analysis was identified by the type of sensory analysis used to acquire results for variations: • Mean, median, and Mode Mode was used for all characteristic data: aroma, color, texture, flavor, and shape
Meeting nutritional goals:Final Variation 1 • 100% Gluten Free • Soy and brown rice flours • Reduction of fat content by 10% • Fiber increased up to 3 grams • Flaxseed, coconut, raisins
Meeting Nutritional Goals:Final Variation 2 • 100% Gluten Free • Sorghum and soy flours used • Reduction of fat content by 10% • Fiber increased up to 3 grams • Flaxseed, coconut, raisins
Conclusions from results • Difficult to maintain desirable texture • Overall nutritional goals met • According to data more people prefer a Gluten free muffin containing: • Sorghum and Soy flours • Other preferred characteristics include texture (moistness) and flavor (nutty and spicy)
Recommendations for further product development Different flour combinations Reduce spice content (nutmeg & cloves) Improve mouth feel: Remove coconut and/or walnuts to decrease fat & replace with oil or egg yolk content
Product barriers Greatest challenges: Improving taste & texture Cost Locating products in supermarkets & convenient stores
