Effect of hydrocolloids on the stability of fruit fillings

Abstract

The paper investigates the effect of hydrocolloids on the stability of fruit fillings resulting in improvement of the nutritional value of co-extrusion products. Verious characteristics of fruit stuffings based on mixture of pectin and modified starch have been studied. As a result of research fruit fillings with pectin and modified starch showed the highest water-retaining capacity as compared with other substances, thus better stuffing’s properties during the storage.
