Abstract
Recent increase in popularity of gluten-free foods is due to increased consumer awareness of gluten-related disorders and dietary recommendations for health or lifestyle reasons. Gluten intolerance is often combined with lactase one and is accompanied by a deterioration in the absorption of most micronutrients, which is caused by the development of atrophy of the small intestinal mucosa, resulted from inflammatory processes. The purpose of the work was to develop a technology for gluten-free custard cake using alternative sources of raw materials, adapted for people with lactose intolerance. The recipe for the new gluten-free semi-finished product included pumpkin seed, rice, and corn flour in a ratio of 30:35:35%, respectively. Additionally, butter in the semi-finished product was replaced with sunflower oil as a lactose-free alternative and an additional source of polyunsaturated fatty acids, which the majority of the population lacks. The custard was made using standard technology, replacing wheat flour with rice flour and drinking milk with a vegetable almond drink. The addition of 10% by weight of sea buckthorn puree was aimed at increasing the content of beta-carotene and vitamin C in the cream, which contribute to better absorption of iron from plant sources. To obtain a consistency suitable for using cream as a filling for custard cake, based on research results, the optimal dosage of pectin was established in the amount of 1%. A new type of custard cake is characterized by good organoleptic and physicochemical quality indicators, has increased nutritional value, and can be recommended for inclusion in the diet of people following a gluten-free and lactose-free diet, improving the absorption of iron in people with celiac disease, as well as for replenishing deficiencies in these nutrients.
