Effect of sorbitan monostearate on the physical characteristics and whipping properties of whipped cream

In this work, the effects of sorbitan monostearate (Span 60) level on the particle size distribution, microstructure and apparent viscosity of the emulsion were investigated. Average particle size (d_4,3), surface protein concentration, partial coalescence of fat and overrun of whipped cream during whipping were also determined. As Span 60 level increased (0–0.8%) in emulsion, the apparent viscosity was increased gradually, and the particle size range was narrowed, which was also detected by microstructure. A positive effect of whipping time was observed on the average particle size, partial coalescence of fat, surface protein concentration and overrun during whipping, respectively. An increase of Span 60 level resulted in a reduction of d_4,3 values and partial coalescence of fat during 0–1 min whipping, then increasing after whipping for 2–5 min (0.6% Span 60 as the critical level). A negative behaviour was observed between surface protein concentration and Span 60. Moreover, Span 60 could improve the overrun and organoleptic properties of whipped cream efficiently.

Effect of hydroxypropyl methylcellulose on the textural and whipping properties of whipped cream

In this work, hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (HPMC) was added into whipped cream for improving its textural and whipping properties. By determination of the particle size distribution, a single peak for the emulsion after homogenization and two distinguishable peaks for the emulsion after whipping for 5 min were observed. With the increase of HPMC level, the average particle size (d_3,2) decreased for the emulsion after homogenization and increased for the emulsion after whipping for 5 min. Both whipping time and HPMC level showed positive effects on the partial coalescence of fat globules. The partial coalescence of whipped cream with 0.125% HPMC after whipping for 5 min reached 56.25%, significantly (P < 0.05) higher than that (4.77%) without whipping treatment. Surface protein concentration was measured to evaluate the change of protein content at the droplet interface. The results indicated that the increase of HPMC level could decrease the surface protein concentration slightly. The overrun of whipped cream slightly increased when the HPMC level increased in the range of 0.025–0.125%. Firmness, cohesiveness, consistency and viscosity of whipped cream were analysed in this work. HPMC showed a positive dose-dependent effect on all these textural properties.     

Effect of substituting whey cream for sweet cream on the textural and rheological properties of cream cheese

In the manufacture of cream cheese, sweet cream and milk are blended to prepare the cream cheese mix, although other ingredients such as condensed skim milk and skim milk powder may also be included. Whey cream (WC) is an underutilized fat source, which has smaller fat droplets and slightly different chemical composition than sweet cream. This study investigated the rheological and textural properties of cream cheeses manufactured by substituting sweet cream with various levels of WC. Three different cream cheese mixes were prepared: control mix (CC; 0% WC), cream cheese mixes containing 25% WC (25WC; i.e., 75% sweet cream), and cream cheese mixes with 75% WC (75WC; i.e., 25% sweet cream). The CC, 25WC, and 75WC mixes were then used to manufacture cream cheeses. We also studied the effect of WC on the initial step in cream cheese manufacture (i.e., the acid gelation process monitored using dynamic small amplitude rheology). Acid gels were also prepared with added denatured whey proteins or membrane proteins/phospholipids (PL) to evaluate how these components affected gel properties. The rheological, textural, and sensory properties of cream cheeses were also measured. The WC samples had significantly higher levels of PL and insoluble protein compared with sweet cream. An increase in the level of WC reduced the rate of acid gel development, similar to the effect of whey phospholipid concentrate added to mixes. In cream cheese, an increase in the level of added WC resulted in significantly lower storage modulus values at temperatures <20°C. Texture results, obtained from instrumental and sensory analyses, showed that high level of WC resulted in significantly lower firmness or hardness values and higher stickiness compared with cream cheeses made with 25WC or CC cream cheeses. The softer, less elastic gels or cheeses resulting from the use of high levels of WC are likely due to the presence of components such as PL and proteins from the native milk fat globule membrane. The use of low levels of WC in cream cheese did not alter the texture, whereas high levels of WC could be used if manufacturers want to produce more spreadable products.     

均质压力对UHT搅打稀奶油品质的影响

以新鲜稀奶油为主要原料,考察了不同的均质压力对UHT搅打稀奶油的脂肪球粒径、流变学特性、搅打特性的影响,分析了各评价指标之间的相关性。结果表明,UHT搅打稀奶油最适均质压力范围为3～5 MPa;随着均质压力的增大(1～9 MPa),脂肪球粒径减小,但打发成型所需时间增加;在α=0.01水平上,粒径与搅打时间、起泡率显著相关;在α=0.05水平上搅打时间与起泡率显著相关。     

搅打稀奶油的乳液特征和打发性能研究

为了对搅打稀奶油的科学应用提供参考,以19款市售代表性搅打稀奶油（常温型、冷藏型和冷冻型产品）为研究对象,通过分析乳液的离心乳析率、黏度、粒径和微观结构研究其乳液的质量,通过分析打发时间、起泡率、泄漏率和裱花性能研究其打发性能。结果显示：常温型产品的离心乳析率为22.17%～32.68%,显著高于冷藏型产品的离心乳析率(1.36%～13.09%)和冷冻型产品的离心乳析率(2.97%～12.87%);常温型和冷藏型产品的黏度、粒径分布特征接近,呈流动性较好且脂肪球分布较均匀的乳液,而冷冻型产品相对黏稠且乳液中无明显脂肪球结构;常温型产品和冷藏型产品的打发时间在13244～291.28 s之间（只有1款冷藏型产品打发时间为79.49 s）,起泡率在111.49%～202.50%之间（只有2款冷藏型产品起泡率分别为92.30%、328.25%）,部分有泡沫泄漏,裱花维持能力较弱;而冷冻型产品打发时间为89.91～158.52 s,起泡率在240.39%～27815%,无泡沫泄漏,裱花维持能力强。综合而言,常温型搅打稀奶油的乳液相对不稳定,打发性能与冷藏型搅打稀奶油接近,而冷冻型搅打稀奶油的打发性能最强。     

Functional properties of cholesterol-removed whipping cream treated by beta-cyclodextrin

The present study was carried out to examine the changes in functional properties of cholesterol-removed whipping cream by beta-cyclodextrin (beta-CD) treatment. The cholesterol removal rate reached over 90% in cream before whipping in all conditions (different stirring time and speed) applied. The apparent viscosity of beta-CD treated cream after whipping increased with increased stirring time and speed. Comparatively, the overrun percentage reached to 150%, and foam instability was measured as 2.5 ml deformed cream with lower stirring time (10 min) and speed (400 rpm). The thiobarbituric acid value of cholesterol-removed whipping cream increased from 0.08 to 0.14 stored at 4 degrees C during 4 wk; however, no difference was found compared with that of control. Above results indicated that beta-CD treatment process for cholesterol removal did not show a profound adverse effect on functional properties of cream after whipping.     

热处理和调节pH改性乳清蛋白浓缩物对搅打稀奶油加工性质的影响

通过热处理和调节p H对乳清蛋白浓缩物80(Whey protein concentrate,WPC80)进行改性处理,并将改性后的WPC80添加至低脂稀奶油中,以改善其搅打性质。结果表明调节WPC80溶液的p H为3,在80℃下加热15min时具有最佳的溶解性和起泡性,相同p H条件下,不同的热处理时间会对溶解性和起泡性产生不同的影响;将热处理和p H改性后WPC80加入搅打稀奶油中,研究发现不同热处理时间,p H为5改性的WPC80可以显著提高搅打稀奶油的打发率(p<0.05),但是p H为7处理的WPC80使稀奶油的泡沫稳定性增加了154.67%~193.42%。因此可通过热处理和调节p H改性的WPC80来提高低脂稀奶油的搅打特性,且此操作方法简单易行。      

胶体对稀奶油打发及其流变学特性的影响

使用不同的胶体和不同的添加量来研究胶体对稀奶油打发及流变学特性的影响.结果表明,选择合适的胶体增加了搅打稀奶油体系的黏度、打发时间及泡沫的稳定时间,降低了产品的打发率及酪乳析出的比例.胶体与蛋白的相互作用增加了体系的稳定性,有效的阻止脂肪球的聚集.打发过程中酪乳析出比例与打发时间和泡沫的稳定时间有极显著的负相关(P<0.001),打发率与泡沫的稳定时间相关性不显著.当卡拉胶添加量为0.02%,变性淀粉添加量为0.6%,羟甲基纤维素钠添加量为0.1%时(均为质量分数)稀奶油的打发及流变学特性为最佳.     

Effect of xanthan gum on the physical properties and textural characteristics of whipped cream

Xanthan gum was used as thickening agent to prepare whipped cream in this work. A dose-dependent effect was observed on the average particle size (d_3,2) of whipped cream. At each xanthan gum level (0.025–0.125%) used, whipping time also showed a positive effect on the average particle size. With the increase of xanthan gum level or whipping time, the partial coalescence of fat in the whipped cream increased gradually. However, xanthan gum level showed no significant effect on the overrun of whipped cream. The textural characteristics of whipped cream were also investigated and the results indicated that a positive correlation was found between xanthan gum level and firmness, cohesiveness or viscosity of whipped cream. A different tendency was detected for consistency. The consistency of whipped cream increased with the increase of xanthan gum level to 0.100%, thereafter decreased.     

High hydrostatic pressure modification of whey protein concentrate for use in low-fat whipping cream improves foaming properties

Whey is the inevitable by-product of cheese production. Whey can be incorporated into a variety of foods, but little has been done to investigate its suitability in whipping cream. The objective of this work was to evaluate the foaming properties of selected low-fat whipping cream formulations containing whey protein concentrate (WPC) that did or did not undergo high hydrostatic pressure (HHP) treatment. Fresh whey was concentrated by ultrafiltration, pasteurized, and standardized to 8.23% total solids and treated with HHP at 300 MPa for 15 min. Viscosity, overrun, and foam stability were determined to assess foaming properties. Sensory evaluation was conducted with 57 panelists using a duo-trio difference test. The optimal whipping time for the selected formulations was 3 min. Whipping cream containing untreated WPC and HHP-treated WPC resulted in greater overrun and foam stability than the control whipping cream without WPC. Panelists distinguished a difference between whipping cream containing untreated WPC and whipping cream containing HHP-treated WPC. High hydrostatic pressure-treated WPC can improve the foaming properties of low-fat whipping cream, which may justify expansion of the use of whey in whipping cream and application of HHP technology in the dairy industry.     

Microstructural evolution of whipped cream in whipping process observed by confocal laser scanning microscopy

It is useful to carefully observe the evolution of foam structures to elucidate the factors affecting cream during whipping. In this study, confocal laser scanning microscopy and a double dyeing technology were used to investigate the microstructural evolution of a rigid foam structure in whipped cream. The location of fat and proteins were determined according to the signals they produce at different characteristic wavelengths. Protein membranes on the surface of air bubbles were clearly observed. A simple yet comprehensive characterization of the whipping process was established according to the micrographs and supported by relevant theories. The formation of a rigid foam structure depends on foaming of the protein in the plasma phase and partial coalescence of fat globules. The formation of protein foam in the cream, creation of net structure, and system breakage and collapse phenomena occurring throughout the whole whipping evolution process was depicted and distinguished visually by different colors.     

无水奶油和BL-41的比例对淡奶油稳定性的影响

研究了无水奶油和BL-41两种油脂之间不同的比例对淡奶油粒径分布、界面蛋白含量、脂肪部分聚结率及表观粘度的影响,并在此基础上探讨了其作用机理。研究结果表明,随着BL-41比例的不断增大,淡奶油的上层粒径d3,2、脂肪部分聚结率和表观粘度呈先增大后减小的趋势,在无水奶油∶BL-41为17.5∶17.5时达到最大值,而界面蛋白含量则先降低后升高,在无水奶油∶BL-41为17.5∶17.5时达到最小值。此外,随着储存时间的延长,上层粒径d3,2、脂肪部分聚结率和表观粘度均逐渐增大,而界面蛋白含量则逐渐降低。      

Physical,textural, and rheological properties of whipped cream affected by milk fat globule membrane protein

This work aims at improving the textural and whipping properties of whipped cream by the addition of milk fat globule membrane protein. The determination of particle size distribution and average diameter of whipped cream showed that the small particle size was shifted to a larger range after milk fat globule membrane protein was added. The average particle size (d_3,2) of whipped cream reached a maximum value of 5.05 µm at 1% milk fat globule membrane protein, while slowly decreased with increasing milk fat globule membrane protein levels from 2% to 5%. In addition, the partial coalescence of fat increased with the increase of milk fat globule membrane protein levels, and the correlation between the whipping time and the overrun of whipped cream was positive. The addition of milk fat globule membrane protein also altered the rheological behaviour of whipped cream, resulting in the increase of modulus G′ and the loss modulus G″. The results also indicated that higher milk fat globule membrane protein level decreased the serum loss of whipped cream while improved its stability. While milk fat globule membrane protein levels had no significant effect on viscosity, its increasing levels effectively improved the hardness, consistency, and viscosity of whipped cream.     

Effect of high-pressure homogenization on droplet size distribution and rheological properties of ice cream mixes

The effect of different homogenization pressures (15/3 MPa and 97/3 MPa) on fat globule size and distribution as well as on structure-property relationships of ice cream mixes was investigated. Dynamic light scattering, steady shear, and dynamic rheological analyses were performed on mixes with different fat contents (5 and 8%) and different aging times (4 and 20 h). The homogenization of ice cream mixes determined a change from bimodal to monomodal particle size distributions and a reduction in the mean particle diameter. Mean fat globule diameters were reduced at higher pressure, but the homogenization effect on size reduction was less marked with the highest fat content. The rheological behavior of mixes was influenced by both the dispersed and the continuous phases. Higher fat contents caused greater viscosity and dynamic moduli. The lower homogenization pressure (15/3 MPa) mainly affected the dispersed phase and resulted in a more pronounced viscosity reduction in the higher fat content mixes. High-pressure homogenization (97/3 MPa) greatly enhanced the viscoelastic properties and the apparent viscosity. Rheological results indicated that unhomogenized and 15/3 MPa homogenized mixes behaved as weak gels. The 97/3 MPa treatment led to stronger gels, perhaps as the overall result of a network rearrangement or interpenetrating network formation, and the fat globules were found to behave as interactive fillers. High-pressure homogenization determined the apparent viscosity of 5% fat to be comparable to that of 8% fat unhomogenized mix.     

Application of hydrogenated palm kernel oil and palm stearin in whipping cream

Non-dairy creams made from hydrogenated palm kernel oil (HPKO) are generally more stable than dairy creams. However, in summer the emulsion tends to separate. This paper outlines some steps that were taken to modify the HPKO with the intention of increasing the stability without affecting whipping performance. This was achieved by blending HPKO with palm stearin (POs). Interesterification was employed to eliminate the increase in solid fat content at 37°C and 40°C. Results of the experiment showed that an interesterified HPKO: POs 66:34 blend proved to have satisfactory whipping performance when compared to creams made with HPKO alone.
