Abstract/Summary

Commercially available UHT cream was tempered at 4 degrees C for 24 h and whipped for different times: 3. 6. 9 and 12 nun. The following properties of cream were measured: rheological and interfacial properties. overrun and size distribution of air bubbles. The whipping process changes the properties of cream, which exhibits viscoelastic behaviour with a high influence of elastic component. The air bubbles incorporated during the process result in forming stronger foam containing smaller bubbles. and also give a higher overrun. These changes are observed around 9 min of whipping. when the amount of air is sufficient to create a stable structure. Further whipping reduces the overrun and the foam partly collapses: this may be caused by aggregation of fat droplets. (c) 2005 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
