PY - 2008 TI - Evaluation of the Chemical and Sensory Attributes of Solar and Freeze-Dried Jameed Produced from Cow and Sheep Milk with the Addition of Carrageenan Mix to the Jameed Paste JF - American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences VL - 3 IS - 3 DO - 10.3844/ajabssp.2008.627.632 UR - https://thescipub.com/abstract/ajabssp.2008.627.632 AB - Jameed is a fermented dried dairy product in the form of stone hard balls or other shapes produced by straining the heated buttermilk on cloth mesh bags, salting the formed paste by kneading, shaping and drying in the sun. This product is reconstituted after disintegration to be used in the preparation of Mansaf, the national dish in Jordan, which is basically lamb meat cooked in Jameed sauce (Sharab, Mareece) and served on cooked rice. The addition of Carrageenan (0.15%), to the Jameed paste resulted in improvement of solar dried Jameed with significant result for Carrageenan treatment as evaluated by wettability and syneresis test. Whipping of the paste to which carrageenan was used, added an additional improvement to the solubility of Jameed and stability of its dispersion The sensory evaluation of the sauce prepared From sheep milk using hedonic scale test had higher mean scores than control market sample which was karaki jameed considered as the best quality in Jordan.
