Exam Three Flashcards
According to the CFR, butter has to be at least how much fat?
80%
According to the CFR, cream has to be at least how much fat?
18%
Two ways of butter spoilage
Microbial and lipolysis
Cows’ diet to product the softest butter
Beets/hay
Cows’ diet to product the hardest butter
Grass/dried pulp/hay
Function of skimming in butter production
Reduction of fat loss
Reduction of size of churner
Reduction of volume of butter milk to 40% cream
Function of pasteurization in butter production
Inactivate microbes/enzymes
Makes butter more resistant to oxidation
Can remove volatiles if pasteurized under a vacuum
Function of ripening in butter production
Helps fat crystallize
How does ripening speed affect butter’s texture?
Too fast: weak texture - entrapment of free fatty acids and glycerides
Too slow: susceptible to microbial growth
Function of washing in butter production
Controls the butter’s temperature
Function of working in butter production
Transforms butter grains to continuous mass
Homogenizes moisture
Regulates moisture content
Incorporates salt
According to the CFR, half and half has to be at least how much fat?
10.5%
According to the CFR, double cream has to be at least how much fat?
48%
Why is coffee creamer shelf stable?
Coffee creamer is homogenized under high pressure and has added polyphosphates
Basic ice cream composition
10-16% fat 9-12% MSNF 9-15% sucrose 0-6% CSS 0-0.5% S/E
Function of pasteurization in ice cream production
Destroys pathogen
Helps ingredients disperse
Batch pasteurization requirements for ice cream
155F for 30 min.
HTST pasteurization requirements for ice cream
175 for 25 sec.
Function of homogenization in ice cream production
Reduces fat droplets
Reduces potential for fat churning
Allows for higher fat content
Function of aging in ice cream production
Causes initial fat crystallization
Hydration of milk ingredients
Emulsifiers displace proteins at fat/serum interface
Compare freezing required to make packaged products, soft serve, and frozen confections
Packaged: agitation/quiescent
Soft serve: agitation
Frozen confection: quiescent
Ice cream freezer phenomena
Rapid nucleation of small ice crystals
Solutes and colloidal substances are concentrated in unfrozen water
Fat is destabilized
Air is whipped into the mix
Latent heat
Energy required to cause a change of state
