The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of pumpkin puree on the quality of liquid egg whites. Experiment 1 investigated the influence of pumpkin puree percentage upon the quality of liquid egg whites. Liquid whole eggs were used for control group, and experimental groups were comprised of liquid egg whites added with different percentage of pumpkin puree, i.e. 0, (liquid egg whites), 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35, 40, 45, and 50%. Color, pH value and total plate counts were analyzed after pasteurization; and color, coagulation strength, and sensory evaluation were analyzed after roasted. The results showed that the addition of pumpkin puree increased both L value and b value of liquid egg whites while decreased the a value. after roasted, L value decreased and a value increased. The addition of pumpkin puree decreased the pH value of liquid egg whites, however, the total plate counts increased. As for the coagulation strength, the control group showed the highest value. Liquid egg whites with 20% pumpkin puree were evaluated as the best at aspects such as appearance, color, flavor and overall acceptability. Experiment 2 was designed to explore the effect of 20% pumpkin puree on the quality of liquid egg whites during refrigeration. Liquid whole eggs were used for control group, and experimental group were liquid egg whites added with
20% pumpkin puree. After pasteurization, the quality variation and sensory evaluation were analyzed during refrigeration. The results showed that the moisture content of experimental group was significantly higher than control group (P < 0.05 ) , however, the crude fat, crude protein, a value and TBA value of experiment group were significantly lower that of control group ( P < 0.05 ). Cholesterol, Escherichia coli, and Salmonella were not detected in experimental group, but its total plate counts at the 9th, 12th and 15th day of refrigeration was significantly higher than that of control group ( P < 0.05 ). |
