Using High Intensity Ultrasound As A Tool To Change The Functional Properties Of Interesterified Soybean Oil, Yubin Ye, Ashwini Wagh, Silvana Martini Sep 2011

Using High Intensity Ultrasound As A Tool To Change The Functional Properties Of Interesterified Soybean Oil, Yubin Ye, Ashwini Wagh, Silvana Martini

Nutrition, Dietetics, and Food Sciences Faculty Publications

High intensity ultrasound (HIU) was used to change the crystallization behavior, generate small crystals, and improve the texture of a low saturated shortening (interesterified soybean oil). Samples were crystallized at different temperatures (26, 28, 30, and 32 °C) without and with the application of HIU. Different acoustic power levels (110, 72, 61, 54, and 44 W) were used. Results show that higher acoustic powers had a greater effect on crystal size reduction, induced crystallization, and generated harder, more elastic and viscous materials. These effects were more significant when HIU was applied in the presence of crystals and when the sample …

Crystallization Behavior Of Anhydrous Milk Fat-Sunflower Oil Wax Blends, Rebekah M. Kerr, Xenia Tombokan, Supriyo Ghosh, Silvana Martini Feb 2011

Crystallization Behavior Of Anhydrous Milk Fat-Sunflower Oil Wax Blends, Rebekah M. Kerr, Xenia Tombokan, Supriyo Ghosh, Silvana Martini

Nutrition, Dietetics, and Food Sciences Faculty Publications

This research evaluates the effect of sunflower oil wax (SFOw) addition on the crystallization behavior and functional properties of anhydrous milk fat (AMF). Induction times of nucleation, melting behavior, microstructure of crystals, and hardness were evaluated for samples of pure AMF and AMF with 0.1 and 0.25% SFOw. Results from this research show that the addition of waxes induced the onset of crystallization of AMF by inducing its nucleation, as evidenced by decreased induction times of nucleation and the formation of smaller crystals. Crystal growth after tempering was also promoted by waxes, and significantly harder lipid networks were obtained. Results …

Lactobacillus helveticus CNRZ 32 is recognized for its ability to decrease bitterness and accelerate flavor development in cheese, and has also been shown to release bioactive peptides in milk. Similar capabilities have been documented in other strains of Lb. helveticus, but the ability of different strains to affect these characteristics can vary widely. Because these attributes are associated with enzymes involved in proteolysis or AA catabolism, we performed comparative genome hybridizations to a CNRZ 32 microarray to explore the distribution of genes encoding such enzymes across a bank of 38 Lb. helveticus strains, including 2 archival samples of CNRZ 32. …

Growth Of Lactobacillus Paracasei Atcc 334 In A Cheese Model System: A Biochemical Approach, M. Budinich, I. Diaz-Muniz, H. Cai, S. A. Rankin, Jeff Broadbent, J. L. Steele Jan 2011

Growth Of Lactobacillus Paracasei Atcc 334 In A Cheese Model System: A Biochemical Approach, M. Budinich, I. Diaz-Muniz, H. Cai, S. A. Rankin, Jeff Broadbent, J. L. Steele

Nutrition, Dietetics, and Food Sciences Faculty Publications

Growth of Lactobacillus paracasei ATCC 334, in a cheese-ripening model system based upon a medium prepared from ripening Cheddar cheese extract (CCE) was evaluated. Lactobacillus paracasei ATCC 334 grows in CCE made from cheese ripened for 2 (2mCCE), 6 (6mCCE), and 8 (8mCCE) mo, to final cell densities of 5.9 × 108, 1.2 × 108, and 2.1 × 107 cfu/mL, respectively. Biochemical analysis and mass balance equations were used to determine substrate consumption patterns and products formed in 2mCCE. The products formed included formate, acetate, and d-lactate. These data allowed us to identify the pathways likely used and to initiate …
