复配乳化剂HLB值对稀奶油脂肪聚结及结晶的影响

将单,双甘油脂肪酸酯与蔗糖酯按一定比例复配成不同亲水亲油平衡（hydrophile lipophilic balance,HLB）值的乳化剂,研究复配乳化剂HLB值对稀奶油脂肪聚结及结晶影响,并对其乳液性质及打发性质进行表征。结果表明,随着复配乳化剂HLB值的增大,乳液粒径增大且表观黏度升高进而使搅打时间延长;热力学及Avrami等温结晶动力学结果表明,复配乳化剂HLB值为10时,高熔点乳脂熔融温度改善显著,并且结晶速率最快;HLB值为8～10时打发性较好,乳清泄漏率较低,涂抹性较佳。因此,复配乳化剂HLB值应控制在8～10,此时更适用于高品质裱花稀奶油的工业生产。     

The influence of combined emulsifier 2 in 1 on physical and crystallization characteristics of edible fats

The aim of this research was to examine the physical and crystallization characteristics of two type of edible fats with the addition of combination of two kind of emulsifiers and with the addition of, so-called, combined emulsifier 2 in 1. NMR technique was used for measuring the solid fat content (SFC) of fats on different temperatures, as well as for crystallization rate under static conditions, by measuring the change of SFC in a function of time. Also, the possibility of applying of Gompertz’s mathematical method to define kinetics of crystallization was investigated. The hardness of fats was defined by penetration on texture analyser, while the rheological properties were determined using the rotational rheometer. The samples of both fats with emulsifier 2 in 1 added have a lower crystallization rate with less amounts of crystals formed, which indicates better spreadability comparing with samples that contain the combination of two emulsifiers. This is also shown by physical determination, since emulsifier 2 in 1 significantly reduced the values of hardness and work of shearing, as for the values of yield stress and tixotropy curve area. Emulsifier 2 in 1 would significantly facilitate the handling in confectionery industry because it can be used instead of the combination of two different type of emulsifiers, which are usually combined in order to give the necessary technological characteristics of confectionery products that contain the fat phase. Also, this emulsifier would improve the quality of those products since it showed better emulsifying properties than combination of two different emulsifiers.     

乳化剂用量对搅打稀奶油搅打性能和品质的影响机理研究

研究了乳化剂用量对搅打稀奶油的乳浊液粒度分布、脂肪球部分聚结、液相蛋白浓度、感官品质和泡沫稳定性的影响。研究结果表明:乳浊液冷却及解冻后脂肪球粒径随乳化剂用量增加而减小,随着乳化剂用量增加,脂肪部分聚结速度和液相蛋白质浓度增加速度加快,搅打起泡率和感官品质以乳化剂用量为0.60%时最好,搅打稀奶油稳定时间随乳化剂用量增加呈先增加后下降趋势,当乳化剂用量为0.60%时,稳定时间达到最大2.4h。综合考虑,当乳化剂HLB值为7,乳化剂用量为0.60%时,搅打稀奶油搅打性能和品质最佳。     

乳化剂在冷食品中的应用研究

根据料液透光度越低,乳化效果越好的原理,采用721型分光光度计,为冷食品浆料选择具有较好乳化效果的乳化剂。在常用雪糕配方的冷食品浆料中加入各种HLB值的乳化剂,测定浆料的透光度。从中得出:HLB值等于8时的乳化剂对浆料具有较好的乳化效果;38.1%蔗糖脂肪酸酯(HLB值=15)与61.9%单硬脂酸甘油酯的混合物是常用雪糕配方浆料的较适宜乳化剂。     

单硬脂酸甘油酯对棕榈硬脂固体脂肪含量及硬度的影响

食品工业中通常利用乳化剂调控塑型脂肪的物理性质及加工性能,其中,单硬脂酸甘油酯(GMS)是应用较为广泛的乳化剂。通过考察质量分数1%,2%,4%的GMS对棕榈硬脂在不同温度下的固体脂肪含量(SFC)、硬度及微观结构的影响,发现:棕榈硬脂及其与质量分数1%,2%,4%的GMS混合物的SFC和硬度随着温度的升高而降低。GMS的添加量对棕榈硬脂SFC的影响在较高温度(21.1~33.3℃)下更显著,当GMS添加量高于1%时,棕榈硬脂的SFC随GMS质量分数的增加而增加。而在15~30℃时,4%GMS的棕榈硬脂的硬度显著高于其它质量分数,且结晶颗粒细小,结晶网络结构致密。结果表明,在温度高于30℃时,添加GMS可以增加棕榈硬脂的SFC及硬度,且减小其结晶颗粒粒度,赋予更为致密的结构,这对棕榈硬脂基塑性脂肪在温度较高季节的储运及品质改善提供了理论依据。     

A modified ice cream processing routine that promotes fat destabilization in the absence of added emulsifier

The quality of ice cream made without added emulsifier using a modified processing routine was compared to ice cream made conventionally with and without added emulsifier. “Two-phase process” ice cream was created by preparing two separate phases; emulsion (fat, some protein, water) and solution (remaining protein, sugar, corn syrup solids, stabilizer, water) and combining them just before freezing. Quality indicators included percent fat destabilized, overrun and meltdown rate. Conventional process ice cream containing emulsifier exhibited a high degree of fat destabilization, high overrun and slow meltdown. Ice cream produced conventionally without emulsifier underwent little fat destabilization, had low overrun and melted rapidly. Ice cream produced by the two-phase process showed good fat destabilization and slow meltdown with moderate overrun, suggesting this method was successful in promoting desirable structure formation without added emulsifier.

Effect of emulsifier type on sensory properties of oil-in-water emulsions

This work investigates the fundamental properties of emulsifiers that may contribute to the fat-associated sensory attributes of emulsions. Model oil-in-water emulsions were prepared with 0, 12, 24, 36 and 48% oil and emulsified with seven different emulsifiers; two proteins; sodium caseinate and whey protein, and five different sucrose esters. Emulsions were rated for perceived ‘fat content’, ‘creaminess’ and ‘thickness’ on nine-point category scales. Instrumental measurements of particle size, viscosity, thin film drainage, surface dilational modulus and interfacial tension were made. The sensory results indicate significant main and interactive effects of fat level and emulsifier type. At higher fat levels, emulsions prepared with sodium caseinate and whey protein emulsifiers had higher viscosities and higher sensory scores than those prepared with the sucrose esters. Results indicate that emulsifier type has a significant effect on the sensory properties of oil-in-water emulsions, and relationships between instrumental and sensory measures suggest that this may be due to the interfacial properties of emulsifiers at the oil–water interface. © 1998 SCI.     

Crystallisation of palm olein under the influence of sucrose esters

This work studied the effects of three sucrose esters (S170, P170 and L195) on the crystallisation of palm olein (PO). The effect of the emulsifiers on the crystallisation behaviour, crystallisation curves, microstructure and polymorphism was investigated. Both S170 and P170 accelerated the early stages, via template effects, but suppressed the later stages of PO crystallisation. The effect on the latter stages was stronger with P170 than S170. In contrast, L195 suppressed PO crystallisation at all time points. Through DSC, S170 and P170 only associated with the high-melting fraction of PO whereas L195 showed little influence. All SEs exhibited no effect on polymorphism. S170 and P170 greatly reduced PO crystal size but increased crystal number while the L195 increased the crystal size but decreased the crystal number especially at low concentration. Overall, S170, P170 and L195 influence PO crystallisation kinetics but the effect was dependent on the emulsifier concentration.

Effects of different emulsifier types,fat contents,and gum types on retardation of staling of microwave-baked cakes

The effects of different types of emulsifiers, gums, and fat contents on the retardation of staling of microwave-baked cakes were investigated. First, different types of emulsifiers (DATEM, Lecigran, and Purawave) at three different fat contents (50%, 25%, and 0%) were added to cake formulations to retard staling of microwave-baked cakes. Then, three types of gums (guar gum, xanthan gum, and methylcellulose) were added to the optimum formulations chosen. As a control, cakes formulated without any emulsifier or gum addition and baked in an conventional oven at 175 degrees C for 25 min was used. Weight loss, firmness, soluble starch and amylose content of the cakes were used as the indicators of staling criteria. Cakes were baked in a microwave oven for 1.5 min at 100% power. Variation of staling parameters during storage of cakes followed zero-order kinetics. Use of emulsifiers and gums helped to retard staling of microwave-baked cakes. Fat content was found to be a significant factor in affecting variation of firmness and weight loss of the cakes during storage. DATEM and Purawave were the most effective emulsifier types. Using gums in combination with emulsifiers gave better moisture retention and softer cakes than using gums alone.     

Effect of model heat treatment conditions on selected properties of milk fat

In this study, the effect of diverse thermal treatments on the physical characteristics of anhydrous milk fat was monitored with the use of scanning calorimetry, firmness analysis, electron microscopy and image analysis. The optimal properties of milk fat were achieved for the thermal treatment taking into account its composition as well as melting and solidification points of the main triacylglycerol fractions (temperatures: 6/20.5/14 °C). Unfavourable results were obtained for the one‐stage system (10 °C/13 h). These results may be helpful in optimising parameters of milk fat crystallisation in high‐fat products, and the fractal analysis has proven to be useful in the evaluation of fat crystallisation.     

Cryo-gelation of galactomannans in ice cream model systems

Locust bean gum (LBG) and guar gum (GG) are two galactomannan stabilizers that help maintain smooth textures in ice cream by slowing down ice crystal growth during constant and fluctuating temperatures. LBG and GG were dissolved in sucrose solutions without or with milk solids-not-fat (MSNF), fat, and/or emulsifier. Solutions were temperature cycled at subzero temperatures and measured after each cycle with a controlled stress rheometer to obtain yield stress and frequency sweep data. LBG solutions developed weak gel structures with temperature cycling, especially in the presence of MSNF, but GG solutions did not. Fat droplets interfered with the formation of LBG weak gel networks while emulsifiers did not change the rheological properties of emulsions. The ability of a polysaccharide to cryo-gel with temperature cycling and protein/stabilizer incompatibility leading to phase separation both helped create elastic structures. More realistic ice cream model emulsions containing fat showed different rheological responses, emphasizing caution in comparing model systems to real systems.     

NMR assessment of ice cream: Effect of formulation on liquid and solid fat

The capacity of low field NMR spectrometry to characterize the different behaviours of fat protons in unfrozen ice cream mix and in ice cream was investigated. Various formulations comprising different types of fat, protein and emulsifier were tested. The NMR parameters attributed to fat were sensitive both to the type of fat and also to the components located at the fat globule interface. In the unfrozen ice cream mix and to a lesser extent in ice cream, liquid fat was more sensitive to the type of protein, whereas the solid fat was sensitive to the type of emulsifier. The solid to liquid fat ratio calculated from the solid part of the NMR signal in the unfrozen mix was mainly dependent on the fat and emulsifier types. Changes in the states of liquid fat were detected during cold storage and interpreted as deviation from an equilibrium state recoverable after prolonged storage.

不同乳化剂对大豆基搅打稀奶油的影响

本研究以大豆油体为原料,探究了不同乳化剂(大豆皂苷、大豆卵磷脂、大豆多糖、吐温80)对大豆基搅打稀奶油的粒径分布、粘度、乳状液稳定性、搅打起泡率、泡沫稳定性的影响。结果表明,不同乳化剂对大豆基搅打奶油的乳状液特性和搅打特性有一定影响。添加吐温80的大豆基搅打稀奶油有较小的粒径分布,ζ-电位为-30.3 mV,粘度比加其他大豆乳化剂的小,而且搅打起泡性最高,达到112.4%,但是泡沫稳定性只有2.1%。添加大豆乳化剂的大豆基搅打稀奶油具有类似的乳状液特性,但是添加大豆卵磷脂的大豆基搅打稀奶油比其他两种大豆乳化剂具有更高的膨胀率(134.5%),而添加大豆多糖的大豆基搅打稀奶油具有更好的泡沫稳定性(1.2%)。     

Modifying the physical properties of butter using high-intensity ultrasound

The physical qualities of butter are affected by the physical properties of the cream used to make it. The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of high-intensity ultrasound (HIU) on the physical properties of cream and butter. High-intensity ultrasound (frequency: 20 kHz, amplitude: 108 µm), often called sonication, was applied for 0, 10, 30, 60, and 90 s using a 1.27-cm-diameter tip to heavy cream (40% fat; 300 g) that was aged at 7.5°C with low agitation (40 rpm) for 90 min. Sonicated cream was churned at 7.5°C until butter grains were formed. The solid fat content (SFC), melting behavior, and average fat droplet size of cream were measured after HIU treatment. Butter was characterized by SFC and melting behavior immediately after production and was tested for SFC, melting behavior, and hardness after storage for 24 h at 5°C. High-intensity ultrasound did not affect the average fat droplet size of cream. Sonicating cream for 30, 60, and 90 s slightly decreased SFC due to the temperature increase (2–6°C) that occurred during HIU application. Two melting peaks were observed at approximately 17 and 33°C in all the cream samples. A significantly lower peak temperature was observed in cream sonicated for 10 s compared with creams sonicated for 30 and 60 s. A relatively shorter churning time of sonicated cream compared with nonsonicated cream was observed, possibly because HIU weakens the fat globule membrane. Two melting peaks were observed in all butter samples at approximately 16 and 33°C. Treatment with HIU for 10 to 60 s significantly increased the hardness of butter. When HIU was applied to cream for 10 s, the hardest butter was obtained, with the lowest onset temperatures and highest enthalpy values for both melting peaks. Treatment with HIU for 10 s promoted crystallization of low-melting-point triacylglycerols (TAG) during churning, which resulted in a harder material. Significantly lower enthalpy values for the high-melting-fraction TAG were observed in butters treated with HIU for 60 and 90 s compared with non-HIU-treated butter, which suggests that a longer duration of HIU promotes melting of high-melting-point TAG. The hardness of butter was correlated with the enthalpy values of the low-melting fraction and with total enthalpy values of fresh butter. However, further crystallization occurred in the butter during 24 h of storage at 5°C, and all differences in enthalpy values disappeared. In conclusion, exposure of cream to HIU can be used to modify the physical properties of butter, and the effects of HIU depend on the length of HIU treatment.     

几种乳化剂对软冰淇淋基料乳状液稳定性的影响

通过对几种乳化剂在软冰淇淋基料中应用的研究发现添加乳化剂可以有效改善软冰淇淋基料的稳定性,延长其保质期。结果表明,当添加0.4%(质量分数,下同)左右的单甘油酯时;聚甘油脂肪酸酯(半固态)或二乙酰酒石酸单甘酯(固态)添加量为0.2%时;柠檬酸单甘油酯的添加量为0.07%时,软冰淇淋基料的黏度最低、粒径最小,并且可有效延长软冰淇淋基料的稳定期。而添加乙酰基单甘酯即使在样品黏度最低、粒径最小时,仍然不能很好的稳定料液,因此不适合用于稳定软冰淇淋基料。另外经过本实验的比较发现熔点较高的乳化剂可有效促进脂肪结晶,改善冰淇淋成品的品质。     

Evaluation of Sucrose Esters in Ice Cream

Sucrose esters of varying hydrophilic-lipophilic balance (HLB) values were added to standard ice cream mixes at 0.15 or 0.25%, and compared with ice creams containing either a commercially available or no emulsifier. Resulting viscosities and overrun patterns were similar, but surface tensions decreased with increasing HLB and concentration. The addition of sucrose esters at 0.25% tended to prevent clumping out of fat particles. Sucrose ester-containing samples melted in a normal manner, and only texture differences were detectable among samples, with the ester-containing samples rated higher than the control or reference samples initially and similar to the reference after storage.     

Development of Formulations and Processes to Incorporate Wax Oleogels in Ice Cream

The objective of this study was to investigate the influence of emulsifiers, waxes, fat concentration, and processing conditions on the application of wax oleogel to replace solid fat content and create optimal fat structure in ice cream. Ice creams with 10% or 15% fat were formulated with rice bran wax (RBW), candelilla wax (CDW), or carnauba wax (CBW) oleogels, containing 10% wax and 90% high‐oleic sunflower oil. The ice creams were produced using batch or continuous freezing processes. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and cryo‐scanning electron microscopy were used to evaluate the microstructure of ice cream and the ultrastructure of oleogel droplets in ice cream mixes. Among the wax oleogels, RBW oleogel had the ability to form and sustain structure in 15% fat ice creams when glycerol monooleate (GMO) was used as the emulsifier. TEM images revealed that the high degree of fat structuring observed in GMO samples was associated with the RBW crystal morphology within the fat droplet, which was characterized by the growth of crystals at the outer edge of the droplet. Continuous freezing improved fat structuring compared to batch freezing. RBW oleogels established better structure compared to CDW or CBW oleogels. These results demonstrate that RBW oleogel has the potential to develop fat structure in ice cream in the presence of GMO and sufficiently high concentrations of oleogel.
