Effects of carrageenan and jackfruit puree on the texture of goat's milk Dadih using response surface methodology

Abstract

Varying levels of carrageenan (0.1–0.7% w/v) and jackfruit puree (10–20% w/v) were incorporated into goat's milk Dadih (a traditional Malaysian dairy dessert), and texture attributes were obtained in the texture profile output. The desired texture was achieved by determining the optimum concentrations of carrageenan and jackfruit puree used, using response surface methodology. Hardness was significantly affected by both carrageenan and jackfruit puree concentration, while gumminess and elasticity were mainly affected by carrageenan. Graphical optimisation showed that Dadih with textural properties comparable with market could be obtained by incorporating 0.2% of carrageenan and 14.9% of jackfruit puree into the goat's milk Dadih.
