The objective of this work was to determine the processing conditions responsible for suspension stability of Illinois soybean beverage and to elucidate the role of lipid in this stability. Stability was determined by visual and objective means after 5 days quiescent storage at 1°C. Pressure and temperature of first and second homogenization, formulation, lipid component and accelerated settling were studied. Homogenization pressure must be such that the sum of the two pressures must be at least 5000 psi and the minimum temperature of one of the two homogenizations must be 82°C. Free and, especially, bound lipid are necessary for stability. The hypothesis that stability is promoted by formation of a lipid-protein complex was further demonstrated by centrifugation and film formation studies. Formulation plays a minor role in stability.
This study was done to characterize the changes that occur during refrigerated storage of six salad vegetables individually and in a mixture.Salad-cut and intact lettuce, carrot, celery, radish, green onion and endive, and a salad mixture were stored at 4.4"C in packages made from a film having low gas permeability. Respiration of individual vegetables during storage showed two patterns: carrot and celery respired throughout the storage time while respirations by the others was halted after a few days. Respiration of cut vegetables exceeded that of intact. Total plate counts (TPC) for intact vegetables in storage increased slower than for cut vegetables; lettuce and endive showed higher TPC than the others. The cut vegetables were invariably poorer in organoleptic quality. Mixed vegetable salads were sealed with either air or an atmosphere containing 10.5% CO,, 2.25% 0,. After 2-wk storage, organoleptic evaluation indicated that the chemical treatments were generally of no value and in some cases were even detrimental but the modified initial headspace was beneficial.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
