Enzymatic destruction of protopectin in vegetable raw materials to increase its structuring ability in ice cream

Abstract

The expediency of protopectin enzymatic hydrolysis of vegetable raw materials as a functional-technological semi-finished product for ice cream production is proved. In dispersed food systems, pectins as protective colloids have a stabilizing and emulsifying ability, form a creamy consistency, increase whipping and control syneresis, which is important for the formation of ice cream quality indicators. Highly purified pectin preparations are usually used in ice cream.
