There is little published data in the literature on the
application of hydrocolloid gums in fat
replacement in mayonnaise. The current study was
designed to incorporate different types of oil in the
production of low fat mayonnaise. The most
organoleptically acceptable oil types were selected
to be involved in the preparation of different low
fat mayonnaise formulas using different
hydrocolloid gums alone and/or in combination.
The chemical, physical, and physicochemical
characteristics of the sensory most approved low
fat formulations were evaluated.
The objective of this study was to develop a low
fat mayonnaise containing xanthan gum (XG),
guar gum (GG), and a combination of xanthan and
guar gums (1:1) as functional ingredients. In
addition, to determining the best oil level for
substitution as well as the best type and level of
gum to produce low fat mayonnaise with ideal
properties close to that of the traditional
mayonnaise. The full fat formulation was used as
reference.
