Production of Rasogolla with low calorie artificial sweetener

Abstract

Artificial sweeteners tend to reduce Calories in foods and beverages, which may help to lose or maintain constant weight. One normally consumed low-calorie sweetener is Aspartame. Rasogolla is characterized by juicy and spongy sweet meat and prepared from cow or buffalo milk chhana. In present study the sucrose is replaced by Aspartame. Sugar syrup of traditional Rasogolla generally contains 40-50% sugar. Due to high sugar content in the product it cannot be consumed by diabetic patients and obese. Rasogolla with (45%) sucrose syrup and Aspartame (0.006%) syrups were prepared and analyzed for body and texture, flavour and taste, color and appearance.
