The invention discloses a Chinese yam cake with a compound sour
system for synergistically activating salivary
amylase and a preparation method thereof. The Chinese yam cake comprises the following raw materials: Chinese yam, konjaku flour or
oligosaccharide, a
sweetening agent, a gelling agent,
malic acid,
citric acid, hawthorn, dark plum and water. The main structure matrix is jointly constructed by Chinese yam
powder, konjaku flour /
oligosaccharide and gels to form a cake body base; a composite sour
system is uniformly distributed in a gel network, a complementary
system is formed through superposition of various organic acids, and the composite sour system has good buffer capacity, can maintain weak acidic pH in the
oral cavity and activate the activity of alpha-
amylase without inhibition, and is different from the problem that a single acid system is prone to'excessive acid '
enzyme inhibition; and an optimal reaction microenvironment is provided for salivary
enzyme activity, and multi-level taste experience is also provided. The gel characteristics of Chinese yam
mucoprotein and
oligosaccharide are fused to form a sour slow-release matrix, so that sour release presents a dynamic curve of front fast-middle stable-rear slow, the
flavor release time is prolonged, and the continuous
perception of the
oral cavity is enhanced. The enzymatic reaction in the
oral cavity is prolonged.
