Effect Of Storage Temperatures And Home Refrigeration Systems On The Shelf Life Of Frozen Desserts, Natalie Sinclair
Effect Of Storage Temperatures And Home Refrigeration Systems On The Shelf Life Of Frozen Desserts, Natalie Sinclair
All Theses
The effect of storage temperature over 12 weeks was studied using dairy and non-dairy frozen desserts. Research was conducted to determine if higher freezer temperatures affect frozen dessert quality to reduce energy use associated with lower freezer temperatures. Samples were analyzed for ice crystal pore size using micrographs, grittiness by a trained sensory panel and weight loss during storage. Ice crystal size was determined using scanning electron microscopy and grittiness was measured on a 5-point ranking scale, with 1 being least gritty and 5 being most gritty. Weight loss was determined by measuring sample weights before and after the 12-week …
Understanding The Pizza Baking Properties Of Low Moisture Part Skim (Lmps) Mozzarella Cheese, Anjali Verma
Understanding The Pizza Baking Properties Of Low Moisture Part Skim (Lmps) Mozzarella Cheese, Anjali Verma
All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Fall 2023 to Present
Mozzarella cheese is expected to melt, stretch, release free oil and exhibit browning and blistering when baked on pizza. This research aimed to investigate the effects of different starter cultures (based on lactose and galactose utilizing ability) and calcium levels on the functionality of Mozzarella cheese when baked on pizza. Four combinations of starter cultures using S. thermophilus (STI 06)-control, Lac+ Gal+ L. helveticus (LH 32), and Lac- Gal+ adjunct culture L. helveticus (LH 7995) were used to make the cheese samples. Various tests were conducted over a seven-week period to evaluate their baking properties. The …
