Relation Between Microstructure, Destabilization Phenomena And Rheological Properties Of Whippable Emulsions, W. Buchheim, N. M. Barfod, N. Krog
Relation Between Microstructure, Destabilization Phenomena And Rheological Properties Of Whippable Emulsions, W. Buchheim, N. M. Barfod, N. Krog
Food Structure
The structure of spray-dried whippable emulsions (toppings) containing different types of lipid surfactants, was investigated by electron microscopy using the freeze-fracture technique. The size distribution of the lipid particles within the powders varied with the type of the surfactant used. After reconstitution of the topping powders in water. a strong destabilization phenomenon took place to an extent depending on the type of the surfactant. Simultaneously a crystallization of coalesced lipid particles occurred along with an increase in viscosity of the emulsions. The degree of crystallization was measured by p-NMR. It has been concluded that these phenomena are closely related to …
Combining Microscopy And Physical Techniques In The Study Of Cocoa Butter Polymorphs And Vegetable Fat Blends, J. D. Hicklin, G. G. Jewell, J. F. Heathcock
Combining Microscopy And Physical Techniques In The Study Of Cocoa Butter Polymorphs And Vegetable Fat Blends, J. D. Hicklin, G. G. Jewell, J. F. Heathcock
Food Structure
Transmission electron microscopy, differential scanning calorimetry and X-ray diffraction have been used to study the cocoa butter polymorphs and blends of cocoa butter with a hydrogenated vegetable fat. The results indicate the presence of six polymorphs and confirm observations made by other workers. Vegetable fat addition affects both the molecular structure and the morphology of the crystals observed. After temperature cycling, a blend containing 50% vegetable fat developed two crystal types and differences in the X-ray pattern were apparent. Correlations could be made between the known molecular structure and the morphology observed in most of the polymorphs. In selected cases, …
Particle Structure In Spray-Dried Whole Milk And In Instant Skim Milk Powder As Related To Lactose Crystallization, Zenichi Saito
Particle Structure In Spray-Dried Whole Milk And In Instant Skim Milk Powder As Related To Lactose Crystallization, Zenichi Saito
Food Structure
The structure of instant skim milk and whole milk powders was studied by scanning electron microscopy with special respect to lactose crystallization during storage. X-ray diffraction analysis was used to confirm the crystallization. Some samples were ashed in a plasma asher and the residues were also examined by scanning electron microscopy. The structures of instant skim milk and whole milk powder particles were well-preserved after the ashing procedure.
The crystallization of ~X-Iactose hydrate occurred in instant skim milk and whole milk powders according to moisture uptake. In instant skim milk powder, ~X-Iactose hydrate crystals were observed on the particle surface. …
