23
What occurs during agitation?
The cream is agitated, manually or mechanically, adding air to the cream and developing a foam.
24
What occurs during membrane rupture?
MFGMs break and release fat molecules.
25
What occurs during fat globule coalescence?
Fat clumps together, forming solid butter granules.
26
What occurs during buttermilk separation?
As the fat clumps, the aqueous liquid (buttermilk) separates from the butter.
27
What occurs when the buttermilk is drained?
The buttermilk is drained and the butter granules are left behind.
28
What occurs during the washing step of butter making?
The butter granules are washed in cold water to remove any remaining buttermilk, which can affect the flavor and shelf life.
29
What occurs during the working step of butter making?
The butter is kneaded or worked to create a smooth, uniform texture. *The longer the butter is worked, the higher its fat content.
30
Why is salt added to butter?
1. For flavor. 2. To extend its shelf life.
31
What is the step that follows working or salting?
Shaping.
32
What are the 4 grades of butter?
1. AA. 2. A. 3. B. 4. General.
33
What must butter be free of, regardless of the grade?
Foreign material and visible mold.
34
What is the grade of butter based on?
1. Body. 2. Color. 3. Flavor. 4. Salt.
35
What is the definition of ice cream?
A frozen desert made from a mixture of dairy products, containing at least 10% milkfat and potentially including other ingredients like sugar, flavors, and stabilizers.
36
What are the ingredients in ice cream?
1. Emulsifiers. 2. Fat. 3. Milk solid-non-fat. 4. Sugar. 5. Stabilizers. 6. Flavoring. 7. Coloring.
37
What is the purpose of emulsifiers in ice cream?
Assisting by reducing the surface tension of liquid products. They also help stabilize emulsions.
38
What is the purpose of fat in ice cream?
It makes up 10-15% of the weight of dairy ice cream mix, may be milk or vegetable fat.
39
What is the purpose of milk solids-non-fat in ice cream?
1. Nutritional value. 2. Improved texture. 3. Correct distribution of air in the ice cream.
40
What are milk solids-non-fat?
1. Proteins. 2. Lactose. 3. Mineral salts.
41
How is milk solids-non-fat added when making ice cream?
Milk powder or condensed skim milk.
42
What is the purpose of sugar in ice cream?
To adjust the solid content and sweetness of the ice cream, 10-18% wt. sugar.
43
What is the purpose of stabilizers in ice cream?
To bind water molecules to reduce ice crystal growth, increase viscosity, slow melting, and improve texture.
44
What are the 2 types of stabilizers?
1. Carbohydrate stabilizers. 2. Protein stabilizers.
45
What are some examples of carbohydrate stabilizers?
1. Albumin 2. Casein. 3. Gelatin. 4. Globulin.
46
What are some examples of protein stabilizers?
1. Hemicellulose. 2. Marine colloids.
47
What are the most common ice cream flavorings?
1. Chocolate. 2. Nougat. 3. Nut. 4. Strawberry. 5. Vanilla.
48
Whatis the purpsoe of adding coloring to ice cream?
To make it attractive to consumers.
49
What is the first step of making ice cream?
Weighing, measuring and mixing to obtain a homogenous mixture.
50
What is the second step of making ice cream?
Homogenization and pasteurization.
51
What is the third step of making ice cream?
Ageing for at least 4 hours at 2-5 C w/ continuous gentle agitation. *Allows time for stabilizers to take effect and fat to crystalize.
52
What is the fourth step of making ice cream?
Continuous freezing.
53
What are the 2 functions of continuous freezing?
1. To freeze the water content in the mixture to a large number of small ice crystals. 2. To whip a controlled amount of air into the mix.
54
What is the fifth step of making ice cream?
Packing, extrusion, and molding.
55
How is packing of ice cream done?
Using a rotary or in-line filling machine that place the ice cream into cups, cones, or containers.
56
How is extrusion of ice cream done?
Using a tray tunnel extruder that extrudes the ice cream directly onto trays in a variety of different shapes and sizes; into a cup, cone, or onto a sandwich wafer.
57
How is molding done?
The ice cream placed in stick novelty freezers, with pockets where the ice cream or water ice is molded. The filled molds are conveyed through a brine solution having a temperature of -40 C.
58
What is the sixth step of making ice cream?
Hardening and cold storage, where ice cream is hardened at around -20 C. The faster the hardening, the better the texture.
