Chapter 5: Formulated Foods Flashcards
Formulated Foods
Products that are mixtures of ingredients
Why are foods formulated?
- Flavorful
- Convenient
- Preserved
- **Serve Various Functions:
- Preservative
- Nutrient
- Sensory
Preservatives
Reduce microbial growth and increase food saftety
Unit Operations
Steps in making formulated foods similar to those for processed foods
Common Unit Operations
Material handling, pumping, mixing, heat exchanging, and packaging
Yogurt Processing
Common steps:
- Milk is pasteurized and homogenized
- Heated to 190° F to denature proteins
- Cooled to 104° F
- Inoculate with culture
- Lactobacillus delbrueckii spp bulgaricus
- Streptococcus salivarius spp thermophilus
- Incubate at 109-122° F (pH 3.7-4.3)
- Fill into containers

Addition of acid and sucrose
Condition for Low Methoxyl
Addition of Calcium ions
True Soft Drinks
Colas, fruit-flavored drinks, ginger ale, root beer, soda water, and tonic water
Water Treatment
- Superchlorination
- Coagulation
- Sand Filter
- Activated Charcoal filter
Carbonation Steps
