Studies on physico-chemical properties ofGulabjamun prepared from cow milk Khoa blended with wheat bran

Abstract

In present investigation wheat bran was used for preparation of Gulabjamun with different per cent i.e. T 1 (control), T 2 (5 %), T 3 (10 %), T 4 (15 %), T 5 (20 %) with the main objective physico-chemical properties of Gulabjamun prepared from cow milk Khoa blended with wheat bran. During the study of chemical composition it was observed that, addition of wheat bran in Gulabjamun increased moisture, ash, carbohydrate and fibre content significantly in finished product while per cent ash, fat, protein and total solid content was decreased significantly due to increase in rate of addition of wheat bran. Texture profile analysis of product revealed that addition of wheat bran in Gulabjamun progressive decreased hardness towards higher of incorporation. 20 per cent level of wheat bran in Gulabjamun decreased the score for cohesiveness, adhesiveness, gumminess and chewiness.
