As a sugar substitute, they used the aqueous stevia essence prepared by standard techniques and the stevioside “Svita” of industrial production in the developed recipes. The optimal concentrations of input substitutes were determined. In one of the berry cream recipes the coconut milk replaces the dairy cream. The authors revealed the optimal proportion of introduced components with respect to the organoleptic quality indicators. They developed the technology of the new sweet dishes of the special purpose: determined technological steps, basic operations, and process parameters, presented its descriptions and flow charts. The researchers developed the organoleptic quality indicators evaluation scale for sweet dishes of the specialized purpose.
