Oleh itu, ia memberi impak kepada industri makanan terutama industri makanan tempatan untuk mencari pengganti telur yang sesuai. Dalam kajian ini, bahan-bahan yang berbeza (aquafaba, tumbuhan protein asing dan soya lesitin) digunakan dengan tahap dan kombinasi yang berbeza pada sampel seperti AQ, PPI, AQ dan PPI, dan terakhir sampel PAS untuk menggantikan telur dalam menghasilkan kuih bahulu untuk mengkaji kesannya terhadap kualiti dan fizikal kuih bahulu. Ujian tentang penampilan, isipadu spesifik, warna dan tekstur termasuk kekerasan, kekenyalan dan keanjalan dilakukan pada semua sampel. Penampilan dari segi saiz dan warna diperhatikan dan hasilnya sampel dengan SL hampir sama dengan sampel kawalan. Kebanyakan hasil daripada analisis menunjukan terdapat perubahan yang signifikasi (P < 0.05) terhadap sampel kawalan dan sampel PAS iaitu analysis isipadu spesifik, warna kerak pada L* dan ho, warna isi sampel pada ho dan tekstur kekerasan. Namun begitu, sampel PAS kelihatan lebih sama dengan sampel kawalan dan sampel dengan PAS kelihatan lebih bagus dibandingkan dengan sampel kawalan dari segi tekstur. Walau bagaimanapun, sukar untuk menghasilkan kuih bahulu bebas telur kerana fungsi yang bagus dari telur dan kajian hadapan diperlukan bagi mencari kombinasi tumbuhan yang sesuai bagi mengantikan telur. xi THE USE OF AQUAFABA, PLANT PROTEIN ISOLATE AND SOY LECITHIN TO REPLACE EGG IN KUIH BAHULU ABSTRACT Egg is a one of the main ingredients in producing kuih bahulu due to the excellent functional properties, but there are popping up some problem prone to the allergies and vegan. Thus, give an impact to the food industry especially local food industry to find the suitable substitution for the egg. In this study, different ingredients (aquafaba, plant protein isolate and soy lecithin) were used with different combination in sample such as AQ, PPI, AQ and PPI, and lastly PAS to replace egg in producing kuih bahulu to study the effect on physical quality of kuih bahulu. Test on the appearance, specific volume, crust and crumb colour and texture including hardness, chewiness and springiness were performed on all samples. Appearance in terms of size and colour were observed and showed that the sample with SL was almost like the control sample. Most of the analysis result showed that there were significant different (P < 0.05) between control sample and PAS sample in terms of specific volume, L* and ho for the crust colour, ho for the crumb colour and hardness of sample texture. However, the PAS was almost similar to the control sample and sample with PAS was much better compared to control sample in terms of texture. However, it is possible to make egg- free kuih bahulu due to the excellent functional properties of egg, and the further research on the combination of plant-based ingredients to replace egg is required. xii CHAPTER 1 INTRODUCTION 1.1 Background of Research Increased demand in the market for traditional cakes in Malaysia can be related to the increased interest among consumers. Most of the traditional cakes used egg as a main ingredient to give colour and texture (Rosniyana et al., 2013). However, due to egg allergies (Kemp, 2007), specific dietary choices, health considerations, increased costs, and environmental concerns (Janssen et al., 2016), the consumption of eggs are being limited for some consumers. Those consumers are actively searching for healthier egg alternatives but do not want to lose the appearance, taste, and functional properties contributed by the egg to their food. Kuih bahulu use egg as a main ingredient due to the excellent functional properties such as ability in foaming and emulsifying with excellent surface-active properties make it as a good ingredient to be used in producing baked goods. Some of the egg’s properties act as emulsifiers which will form foams when whipped and coagulate when heated (Foegeding et al., 2006). However, due to the vegan and allergen problem, the egg replacer has been a problem on the food industries to expand their products in the market.
