Abstract

This study investigated the effect of adding hydrocolloids to the cooking andmoisture loss, water holding capacity and texture of plant-based nuggets.Methylcellulose, carrageenan, and xanthan gum were incorporated atconcentration of 1 and 2% during plant-based nugget formulation. Theresults found that addition of hydrocolloids at higher concentrationssignificantly altered the physical properties of plant-based nuggets.Methylcellulose was able to reduce the cooking and moisture loss, whilecarrageenan improved the water holding capacity and texture of plant-basednuggets. On the other hand, although xanthan gum was able to alter severalproperties of the plant-based nuggets, utilization with other hydrocolloidsmay improve the properties of plant-based nuggets. Overall, the studyhighlights the potential of specific hydrocolloid to enhance physicalproperties of plant-based meat alternatives, contributing to the developmentof product.
