Modeling The Flow And Creep Compliance Properties Of Ice-Cream Mixes, Hiran Ranaweera Jan 2022

Modeling The Flow And Creep Compliance Properties Of Ice-Cream Mixes, Hiran Ranaweera

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

This work documented the influence of the protein source (MPC80 and WPC80), protein content (4-12%), and temperature (5-35ΒΊC) on the rheological behavior (flow curve, frequency sweep, and creep-recovery) of ice-cream mixes (ICM). For each protein source, the viscosity of the ICM was satisfactorily modeled (𝑅2>0.98, 𝑅2 π‘Žπ‘‘π‘—>0.98, and E0.99), while the recovery phase was represented by an empirical model. The percentage of recovery (%R) of the ICM significantly decreased with the protein content.


A Process To Produce Lactose Phosphate From Dairy Byproducts And Used As An Alternative To Emulsifying Salts In Processed Cheese Food Manufacture, Khalid Ahmed Alsaleem Jan 2022

A Process To Produce Lactose Phosphate From Dairy Byproducts And Used As An Alternative To Emulsifying Salts In Processed Cheese Food Manufacture, Khalid Ahmed Alsaleem

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

Lactose is the primary carbohydrate in most mammals' milk, commonly known as milk sugar. Milk permeate is a by-product of whey protein manufacturing through membrane technologies. It is cost-effective, available, and an excellent source of lactose. Sugar phosphorylation is a technique used to alter sugar's characteristics. It has numerous applications for developing dairy and food products. Lactose-6-phosphate (LP) is an organic compound that switches the hydrogen on lactose by monophosphate that has the potential to function as emulsifying salts (ES). ES, such as disodium phosphate (DSP) and trisodium citrate, have a critical effect on the emulsification characteristics of casein by …


Impact Of Natural Cheese Composition On Proteolysis And Its Effects On Process Cheese Functionality, Natasha Scherber Jan 2022

Impact Of Natural Cheese Composition On Proteolysis And Its Effects On Process Cheese Functionality, Natasha Scherber

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

Cheddar cheese is a commodity and a top-selling cheese in the United States. Enhanced flavors of cheddar cheese requires aging, which will allow proteolysis increase. Proteolysis is the most complex process that happens in cheese manufacturing and can be difficult to control because of environmental factors and compositional characteristics. The ripening process, which is the most timely and costly procedure in cheese manufacturing, can also be unpredictable when aspects, such as cheese composition, are changed. The coagulant is responsible for the first stage in proteolysis, which will produce large peptides. Small peptides are subsequentially produced during the second stage by …


Manufacture Of Ingredients For Use In Clean Label Process Cheese Products, Ahmed Hammam Jan 2022

Manufacture Of Ingredients For Use In Clean Label Process Cheese Products, Ahmed Hammam

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

Micellar casein concentrate (MCC) is a high protein ingredient that can be used in several applications, such as manufacture of acid curd and process cheese products (PCP). Acid curd is one of the casein (CN) products, which can be obtained by precipitating the CN at a pH of 4.6 (isoelectric point) using starter cultures or direct acids. Acid curd has low mineral and calcium content due to the solubility of colloidal calcium phosphate at the isoelectric point in the whey. Acid curd and MCC can be utilized in manufacture of clean label PCP formulations. PCP is a dairy food prepared …


Impact Of Storage And Different Variety On Proximate Composition And Functionality Of Lentils, Hussain Al Naser Jan 2022

Impact Of Storage And Different Variety On Proximate Composition And Functionality Of Lentils, Hussain Al Naser

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

Lentil (Lens culinaris) is an edible pulse and is a nutritious legume. The nutrient value and the application of lentils in other food resources have been well documented. However, there exists a lack of studies that focus on the storage impact of pulses on lentil composition and functionality. The focus of most studies has been on the composition of lentils while the composition relative to and functionality of stored lentils has not been sufficiently evaluated. Therefore, the objective of this research was to determine the effect of storage conditions on the nutrient composition and the functional properties of lentils. Four …


Impact Of Storage Conditions And Varieties On The Composition, Physical Properties, And Functionality Of Dry Peas, Sushmita Karki Jan 2022

Impact Of Storage Conditions And Varieties On The Composition, Physical Properties, And Functionality Of Dry Peas, Sushmita Karki

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

Dry peas are sustainable, healthy, and nutritious pulse crop and are excellent source of protein and complex carbohydrates as well as micronutrients. The effects of storage conditions on composition of beans and cereals have been widely reported. The information gained contributed significantly to better storage practices for these commodities. However, literature addressing the chemical composition, functionality, and physical characteristics of dry pea seeds upon storage is scarce. This study was designed to address the impact of storage conditions and varieties on the nutrient profile, functionality, and physical properties of dry pea seeds. Six different varieties of dry peas were stored …


Production Of Calcium Reduced Micellar Casein Concentrate Powders And Their Use In Process Cheese Products, Anil Kommineni Jan 2022

Production Of Calcium Reduced Micellar Casein Concentrate Powders And Their Use In Process Cheese Products, Anil Kommineni

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

Protein is an essential dietary component, and sufficient intake is vital in a healthy and balanced diet. Consumers are becoming increasingly aware of and knowledgeable about the role of protein in the diet. Two of the next-generation dairy protein ingredients isolated from milk are micellar casein (MCC) and milk-derived whey protein, isolated from skim milk using microfiltration (MF). Membrane filtration has been used extensively by the dairy industry to produce a variety of dairy ingredients from milk. MCC manufactured from freshly pasteurized milk can be directly consumed or as a supplement to fortify and enhance nutritional qualities in processed food …
