Özet
The increasing demand for functional foods arises from concerns regarding food allergies, dietary restrictions, and ethical considerations related to egg consumption. Consequently, this study investigates the feasibility of using arabinogalactan-rich nanomucilage derived from garden cress seeds as an egg replacement in cupcake production. The microwave-assisted process resulted in 23.28 f 0.34 % yield and it demonstrated a nanoscale particle size of 146.3 f 2.67 nm. Smooth surfaces with spherical concavities-shaped particles were observed containing carbohydrate and protein-based functional groups. A market survey involving 250 participants indicated a notable interest in egg-free cupcakes, with 75% of respondents determining a willingness to sample them. Cupcakes containing 15% nanomucilage (C3) exhibited comparable sensory acceptability and similar physicochemical properties, along with significantly improved hardness (751.03 f 1.24 g), resilience (23.98 f 0.56), and chewiness (513.75 f 1.37 g) when compared to egg-based cupcakes. In vitro digestibility exhibited a significant reduction in the area under the curve for reducing sugars in C3 (155.68 mg g- 1) relative to the control (238.83 mg g- 1), suggesting a lower glycemic index. Hence, this study reveals that garden cress seed mucilage could be an effective egg substitute in cupcakes, offering comparable sensory and textural attributes with potentially lower glycemic index.
