ingredient property“Protein, crude fiber and ash content and energy values of carob syrup were lower than the values of both carob fruit and carob flour. According to the results, the total sugar content, the most important constituents of carob products, were 48.35%, 41.55% and 63.88% for fruit, flour and syrup, respectively. These products contained high amounts of calcium, potassium, magnesium, sodium and phosphorus, which were the most abundant elements in carob fruits (P < 0.05).”
carob flour → contains → protein, crude fiber, ash, total sugar, calcium, potassium, magnesium, sodium, phosphorus
compound effect“An improved chromatographic method was developed using ultra-performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry to identify and quantify phenolic compounds and alkaloids, theobromine and caffeine, in carob flour samples.”
phenolic compounds and alkaloids → identified and quantified → in carob flour
flavor pairing evidence“Thirty and fifty percent carob flour incorporation rendered cakes with acceptable texture and sensory attributes, comparable to the control cake recipe containing 20% cocoa.”
30% and 50% carob flour incorporation → rendered → cakes with acceptable texture and sensory attributes, comparable to the control cake recipe containing 20% cocoa
