| Abstract: | Adding colour to food
materials like commercial, traditional and street foods is mainly intended to
attract the consumer since time immemorial. Usage of synthetic food colours
lead to public health issues. Among the sweetmeats available in the market, jilebi and jangri are mostly added with yellow and orange red synthetic
colours, respectively or vice-versa. Bixin (colour pigment) extracted from
annatto seeds was used for the preparation of water soluble annatto dye
potassium carbonate formulation (nor-bixin, 11.24%) and water soluble annatto
dye sugar formulation (norbixin, 10.6%). Lovibond Tintometer colour units of
the commercial traditional sweetmeats applied with synthetic colours was
measured for standardizing the colour concentration in the experimental
products by using the water soluble annatto dye formulations. The present study
deals with the application of water soluble annatto dye formulations at various
concentrations (2.5-40 mg norbixin/kg product) in preparation of jilebi and jangri. Method of applying norbixin and the effect of frying
temperature on the colour units were also studied. The products were evaluated
for colour stability and % recovery of norbixin during a period of 3 days.
Water soluble annatto dye sugar formulation at respective concentrations was
standardized in preparation of jilebi
and jangri. |
