In this study, the functionality of Althaea officinalis mucilage (AOM) on cupcake quality and its potential use in retarding the staling process have been studied. For this purpose, the effects of different concentrations of AOM (0, 0.25, 0.5, and 1%) on some physical properties such as hardness and color and the sensory properties of cupcakes and their batter were determined. In general, the overall properties of cupcake were notably influenced by mucilage addition. The results demonstrated that the mucilage addition significantly (p<0.05) improved physical properties of cupcakes (moisture content, specific volume, and batter density and viscosity) compared with the control sample. Hardness during storage decreased significantly with the addition of mucilage. The results from the comparison of means for the color parameter, indicated that the lowest L* value and the highest L* of crust belonged to the control sample and those that featured 0.25 and 1% mucilage, respectively. The cakes with 0.75 and 1% mucilage obtained the highest scores of sensory analyses.

Abstract
The consumer demand for formulated foods containing soy proteins has resulted in an increase in the number of new products processed with soy ingredient.

The consumer demand for formulated foods containing soy proteins has resulted in an increase in the number of new products processed with soy ingredient. In this study acidified soy-cow milk blend drinks were manufactured by fermentation of mixtures of milk/soy milk in ratio of 100/0, 70/30 and 50/50 and dilution was done after fermentation to 4.5- 6.5 total solid (TS). High methoxyl Pectin was added to the drinks at concentrations of 0.25 and the samples were evaluated for physical and sensory properties and serum separation. Results showed that protein content, viscosity and instability of samples were increased by increasing of soy milk in formulation. And total solid was effective on increasing of viscosity and stability. Results suggested that use of soy milk in level of 30% with 6/5 % total solid can produce beverages with appropriate content of protein, viscosity and stability.
