Formation of consumer preferences in the fish restaurants menu based on sensory characteristics

Abstract

The object of research is fish culinary products in the jelly pouring of the menu of conceptual restaurants. The subject of research is the consumer characteristics of gelling fish broth for culinary products based on sensory characteristics. The study used methods for determining the consumer characteristics of fish culinary products based on physical, chemical, aesthetic and sensory analysis. Methods for the preliminary preparation of hydrocolloids as structure-forming agents for the preparation of gelling culinary products with the study of the parameters of the jelly formation process are proposed. The developed ingredient composition of fish culinary products based on low methoxylated pectin and sodium alginate improves the consumer characteristics of the finished dish. This ensures the implementation of strategic decisions in the food industry through the introduction of innovative technologies and the release of products with new consumer and functional properties. It is the new ingredient composition of the fish culinary products in the pouring that opens the priorities in the creation of the wellness products industry with the aim of improving the health of consumers. The active elements of algae are absorbed almost completely through a chemical composition close to that of human plasma. As a result, algae are able to compensate for the lack of elements and contribute to the normalization of metabolism. The use of low-esterified pectin is due to its structure-forming, therapeutic and prophylactic, sorption, antibacterial properties, which are an alternative to antibiotics and synthetic preservatives to prevent bacterial spoilage. The use of dietary supplements based on sodium alginate and pectin in food products provide an adjustable texture with new rheological and functional properties, which have a positive effect on the commodity performance of finished products for promotion on the market of healthy food restaurants. On the basis of the sensory indicator, rational parameters of the recipe of fish culinary products in jelly pouring were determined to obtain a transparent, stable, homogeneous elastic consistency, which will expand the range of the wellness menu of restaurants of the Wellness concept.
