The present invention discloses a low GI blackcurrant jam and a preparation method thereof, and relates to the technical field of
food processing, the low GI blackcurrant jam comprises the following components by
mass: 50-70 parts of blackcurrant pulp, 15-35 parts of a composite
sugar source, 0.3-1.5 parts of a compound thickener, 0.1-0.7 part of an
acidity regulator, and 5-15 parts of water; the composite
sugar source consists of
psicose,
inulin and resistant
dextrin; the compound
thickening agent is prepared from apple gum, konjac gum and
xanthan gum; the preparation process comprises the following steps: step-by-step
sugar melting under a mild condition,
colloid pre-dispersing gel melting, fruit pulp mixing,
pasteurization, acid regulation and homogenization, sterilization after filling and the like. Through the cooperation of a formula
system and a whole-process mild
temperature control process, a stable three-dimensional gel network is constructed while the low GI value and the high
vitamin C
retention rate of the product are achieved, water bleeding and layering are effectively prevented, and therefore the jam product with the healthy property and the excellent texture is obtained.
