Abstract

Sour cream is a popular fermented dairy product and galactomannans are widely used in the food industry to improve texture and stability. In this study, it was investigated the effects of different galactomannans (guar gum (GG), locust bean gum (LBG), and GG/LBG) on the rheological, physicochemical, and microbial properties of sour creams. All the sour cream samples had similar pHs (4.55–4.57), acidity (0.83–0.86%), and lactic acid bacteria viable counts (8.08–8.15 log CFU/g) after fermentation. The rheological parameters (ηa,50, K, G′, G″, and tan δ) of the sour creams increased after the addition of galactomannans. The sour cream with GG showed higher ηa,50, K, G′, and G″ values than the sour cream with LBG. Furthermore, the combination of galactomannans (GG/LBG) did not have any synergistic effect on the sour cream. The water-holding capacity of sour creams was enhanced by the addition of galactomannans, resulting in reduced syneresis.
