Abstract
Low calorie salad dressings are oil-in-water emulsion products, in which the oil content has been substantially decreased. This decrease, however, is accompanied by reduction in the viscosity hence, an undesirable texture. To overcome this, oil replacers are generally used. In this research, maltodextrin and xanthan gum were used to replace part of the oil in the production of two kinds of salad dressings mayonnaise and three Italian salad dressing. Various formulations of these products with varying amounts of oil, maltodextrin and gum at different temperatures were produced. Viscosities in the range of 50-140 Pa.s for mayonnaise and 2-15 Pa.s for Italian dressing were accepted as positive criteria and samples in these ranges were chosen for organoleptic and microbial tests.
The results showed that in the formulation of mayonnaise, simultaneous increase in the amount of oil, maltodextrin and gum created a high viscosity, but the temperature did not play any significant role. In the Italian salad dressing, the increase in the amount of gum was accompanied by development of pseudoplastic characteristics which was not desirable, hawever, the effect of temperature on providing acceptable texture was found to be important. Although the formulated mayonnaise enjoyed a fairly acceptable quality, the Italian salad dressing samples, were ranked superior to the common Italian salad dressing available in the Iranian market.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to use Alpha-amylase termamyl 2-x for maltodextrin production from corn starch and evaluate its industrial uses. Based on the results obtained in laboratory, this process was accomplished in pilot plant scale. The process included preparation of starch suspension, pH adjustment, addition of enzyme, heating under stirring, continuous control of DE and Brix, enzyme inactivation in adequate DE, separation of soluble sections by centrifuge and finally spray-drying of the maltodextrin liquid. In this investigation, the amount of DE at dry matter was calculated under three enzyme concentrations (0.2, 0.25 and 0.3 ml of Alpha-amylase termamyl 2-x per Kg of starch) and in three different hydrolysis temperatures (60, 65 and 70 ºC) at constant pH (6). A completely randomized design with factorial arrangement and 5 replications was conducted. To study the relationship between DE and different parameters, multiple linear regression was used. Finally, for approximation of DE (based on enzyme concentrations, temperatures and hydrolysis times) a regression model was used. The results from different enzyme dosages at the same temperature and time of hydrolysis differed significantly (p≤ 0.05). Meanwhile, the best enzyme concentration and hydrolysis temperature for maltodextrin (high DE) production after 300 minutes were 0.25 ml of enzyme per kg of starch and 70 ºC, respectively. In these conditions, the least residual starch concentration and residual Alpha-amylase activity were observed.
