The Effect of Freezing and Hydrocolloids on the Physical Parameters of Strawberry Mass-Based Desserts
The aim of the study was to evaluate the effect of freezing, thickening and storage on the physical properties of the strawberry desserts made with addition of various hydrocolloids. The strawberry cultivars ‘Polka’, ‘Honeoye’, and ‘Senga Sengana’ harvested in Latvia were used in the study. The stra...
