Summary: | Zinc is an essential micronutrient for numerous catalytic, structural and regulatory functions in human body. However, its direct fortification in the food matrix poses the challenges of decreased bio-accessibility by forming insoluble sediments. Complexing zinc with polysaccharides has been reported as a possible intervention to address this issue by keeping the zinc in soluble form. Present investigation was undertaken to transform

whey containing complexed zinc into a sensorially acceptable beverage by varying its pH from 3.5 to 5.5, common salt concentration from 0.5 to 1.5% and spices concentration at 0.2 and 0.4%. Changes in complexed zinc concentration, apparent viscosity, instrumental color parameters and sensory attributes were determined. Complexed zinc concentration increased (p  |
