It is hypothesized that food texture alters satiety by adjusting eating rate and enjoyment; however, few studies have evaluated wide ranges of food textures with standardized nutritional compositions. The goal of this study was to formulate and characterize a set of isocaloric, macronutrient‐matched model foods with varying textures. Six distinct food textures were produced by varying the extent and type of aggregation of 11% whey protein isolate solutions. Textures were grouped into fluid‐like (fluid, thin and thick semisolids) and solid‐like (three soft solid gels) based on rheological and sensory properties. Increasing sample mechanical stiffness coincided with increasing cohesiveness in fluid‐like textures and decreasing cohesiveness in solid textures; total oral manipulations increased with increasing stiffness. Trends in sensory cohesiveness reflected that solid textures are fractured with the molars while fluid‐like textures are manipulated by tongue and jaw movements. These model foods demonstrated properties in the range of commercial food products. They are applicable to investigating structural mechanisms responsible for texture and satiety. A scheme was developed that outlines structural breakdown and coinciding perception of textural properties during oral processing.Practical ApplicationsUnderstanding the multidisciplinary relationships among food structure, texture, sensory perception, satiety and nutrient availability are fundamental in the formulation of healthy and enjoyable food products. However, the selection of products to evaluate the role of food structure upon texture and health is often difficult due to variations in macronutrients, total calories, and sample volume. This research provides a nutritionally standardized model food system that spans a textural spectrum of fluids, semisolids, and soft solids. The basic model foods presented here can be used to establish fundamental relationships between food structure and physiological outcomes. Additionally, these model foods can easily be reformulated to represent more complex structures (e.g., mixed gels, emulsions) or to evaluate the effects of added flavor or color.}, number={5}, journal={JOURNAL OF TEXTURE STUDIES}, author={Campbell, Caroline L. and Daubert, Christopher R. and Drake, Maryanne and Foegeding, E.

However, rheological analysis is often insufficient to describe food texture as evaluated by descriptive sensory analysis. Additionally, traditional rheometry does not account for changes in food behavior as a function of saliva incorporation into the food during mastication. The objectives of this study were to evaluate friction behavior of acid milk gels with and without the addition of saliva, and to determine relationships between frictional behaviors and mechanical and sensory behaviors. Acid milk gels were prepared with 12.5% total solids comprising nonfat dry milk, whey protein isolate, waxy maize starch, and gelatin in different ratios. The addition of starch was found to have significant impact on acid milk gel frictional behavior. Addition of saliva resulted in a change in frictional behavior over the entire sliding speed range measured. Correlations were found between rheological, tribological, and sensory behavior, suggesting that an underlying mechanism may impact both viscosity and friction behavior. Additional study is needed to further explore the links between food structure, rheology, tribology, and sensory texture.Practical ApplicationApplication of tribology in food science allows measurement of friction behavior of foods.

Model food gels were developed with (1) increasing strength/hardness and constant deformability or (2) increasing deformability/rubberiness within a limited range of strength. Gel structures were characterized based on mechanical properties and the muscle activity (electromyography) and mandibular movements (three‐dimensional jaw tracking) required for oral processing. Increased strength or deformability required more chewing cycles and increased muscle activity to breakdown samples for swallowing. In contrast, jaw movement amplitude increased in all directions with increased strength and remained constant or decreased with increased deformability. Specific mechanical properties that were correlated with oral processing parameters changed as chewing progressed, possibly reflecting a change in dominate mechanical properties and sensory perception during oral processing.Practical ApplicationsA fundamental understanding of how food structure determines sensory texture is essential to designing foods that are healthy and desirable to consumers. Oral processing, from first bite through swallowing, is the main physiological element of texture evaluation. Model soft solid foods with increasing strength/hardness or deformability/rubberiness were developed and characterized by mechanical tests and oral processing.

Large strain mechanical properties have been correlated with sensory and oral processing characteristics; however, most large strain testing in food research involves determination of fracture properties rather than examination of nonlinear viscoelastic behavior. Relationships between nonlinear viscoelastic behavior and food texture were determined by measuring and correlating nonlinear viscoelastic properties of several whey protein isolate/κ‐carrageenan gels to sensory, oral processing and large strain rheological characteristics. Nonlinear viscoelastic properties correlated (R2 > 0.5, P < 0.05) to sensory, oral processing and large strain rheological behaviors. Sensory correlations included aspects evaluated after several chews as well as first bite aspects. Oral processing correlations generally involved jaw movement terms rather than electromyographical data. Understanding the nonlinear viscoelastic properties of food allows a better understanding of food structure and deformation mechanism and how that structure impacts food texture.Practical ApplicationsThis work demonstrates the applicability of large amplitude oscillatory shear (LAOS) testing in food science. The LAOS measurement and analysis method may be applied to foods with a wide range of structure and texture, allowing measurements of nonlinear viscoelastic behavior in materials that cannot be tested under current methodology. In addition, LAOS measurements can indicate structural aspects of the material, and correlations between structure and texture may be made from this information.}, number={4}, journal={JOURNAL OF FOOD PROCESS ENGINEERING}, author={Melito, H.

Structural differences can significantly alter rheological, sensory and oral processing behaviors. Large amplitude oscillatory testing (LAOS) has been used to study nonlinear viscoelastic properties of gels, which were related to sensory and oral processing characteristics. Therefore, nonlinear viscoelastic properties of several types of commercial cheese were measured and correlated with rheological, sensory and oral processing characteristics to determine the relationships among these characteristics for more complex food systems. Cheddar, Mozzarella and American cheese were selected for evaluation. Cheddar displayed the greatest degree of nonlinear behavior under LAOS; American cheese displayed the least. Rheological, sensory and oral processing evaluation revealed significant (α = 0.05) differences in behavior of the different cheese. Correlations were found between nonlinear viscoelastic, rheological, sensory and oral processing behaviors. Thus, LAOS testing may be used to gain insight into solid food structure and structural breakdown, yielding additional information on textural properties.Practical ApplicationsThis work extends the use of large amplitude oscillatory shear (LAOS) to real food systems, showing the applicability of this technique to a variety of materials. In addition, LAOS may be used to test foods with a range of textures, from liquids to semisolids to soft solids. Using LAOS to measure the nonlinear viscoelastic properties of foods allows nonlinear behavior to be quantified in foods that cannot be tested with traditional large‐strain rheology due to sample limitations.

To have an understanding of protein-based, soft-solid texture perception, a multidisciplinary approach was applied that combined studies of food microstructure with mechanical properties, sensory evaluation, and oral physiology. Model foods were developed by combining ion-induced micro-phase separation and protein-polysaccharide phase separation and inversion. Activities of masseter, anterior temporalis and anterior digastric muscles during oral processing were recorded by electromyography (EMG), while jaw movement amplitudes, durations, and velocities were simultaneously collected by a three-dimensional jaw tracking system (JT-3D). Changes in the microstructure of mixed gels significantly altered the characteristics of the chewing sequence, including the muscle activities, number of chews, chewing duration and chewing frequency. Mechanical attributes related to structural breakdown and sensory perception of firmness were highly correlated with the amount of muscle activity required to transform the initial structure into a bolus ready for swallowing. Chewing frequency was linked to mechanical properties such as recoverable energy, fracture strain and water holding capacity of the gels. Increased adhesiveness and moisture release also resulted in slower chewing frequency. Evaluation of oral processing parameters at various stages (i.e., first cycle, first 5 cycles, and last 3 cycles) was found to be a useful method to investigate the dynamic nature of sensory perception at first bite, during chewing and after swallowing. The study showed that muscle activity and jaw movement can be used to understand the links between physical properties of foods and sensory texture.}, number={1}, journal={FOOD HYDROCOLLOIDS}, author={Cakir, Esra and Vinyard, Christopher J. and Essick, Gregory and Daubert, Christopher R. and Drake, MaryAnne and Foegeding, E.

A range of gels with different structures were developed by combined mechanisms of ion-induced micro-phase separation of whey proteins, whey protein/к-carrageenan phase separation and network inversion. Descriptive sensory analysis was used to assess textural attributes of gels during the oral processing phases of first compression by tongue, first bite, mastication, and post swallow. Large deformation properties and fracture behavior of the gels were determined by uniaxial compression and single-edge notched bend tests. Mechanical properties at varying stages of deformation (before, during and after fracture) and sensory properties at different stages of oral processing (first compression, first bite and after 5–8 chews) followed similar trends based on the change in microstructure. Recoverable energies of gels were in agreement with springiness and compressibility evaluated at first compression in the mouth before biting. Young's modulus together with fracture properties, including critical energy release rate and fracture toughness, varied among different microstructures along with firmness. After the fracture point, the speed of macroscopic breakdown determined the fracture type of the gels, which was related to the degree of fracturability at the first bite. Overall, five out of six microstructures were discriminated in sensory texture properties.

In the linear viscoelastic region (LVR), the stress response to a strain input comprises only the first harmonic. Beyond the LVR, higher-order harmonics have significant contributions, which are not accounted for in the traditional calculation of viscoelastic moduli. Previous study has developed a mathematical framework that accounted for higher-order harmonics during large amplitude oscillatory shear (LAOS), yielding a physical interpretation to nonlinear data. However, this protocol was not formally validated with model elastic and viscous systems. To that end, a model elastic solid and viscous liquid were tested using LAOS to compare the protocol to standard oscillatory data and the known nonlinear properties of both systems. Good agreement (α = 0.05) was shown between first-order harmonic viscoelastic moduli data for both systems in the linear region. The protocol correctly indicated linear-to-nonlinear transitions of the elastic system, strain-independent linear behavior of the viscous system, and strain-hardening behavior of the elastic system in the nonlinear region.

Oral processing of these foods starts with either biting a portion from a larger piece or placing a piece in the mouth. Specific textural elements of a food are evaluated by descriptive sensory analysis; however, the time and costs of sensory analysis have motivated the empirical development of mechanical tests that correlate with sensory analysis of texture. While food scientists were evaluating mechanical properties to understand subjective texture, material scientists were developing rheological and fracture‐mechanics approaches to understand material properties in general. Still another group of scientists have focused on the biological mechanisms involved in mastication, oral processing and oral sensation. Understanding the integration of physical, physiological and psychophysical elements of soft‐solid food texture is a relative new area of research and therefore the current understanding of this multidisciplinary approach will be reviewed.PRACTICAL APPLICATIONSFood texture is one of the key properties consumers evaluate when determining food quality and acceptability.

Our aim was to investigate the effects of sensory input from different textures on adaptation of the chewing pattern. Jaw muscle activity and kinematic measures of mastication were collected by electromyography and a three‐dimensional jaw tracking system during chewing of Cheddar cheeses (varying fat content) and caramels (two levels of total fat and sweetened condensed milk). Reducing fat in cheese is associated with increased sensory firmness, springiness and decreased cohesiveness. Oral processing adjusted to decreased fat content with increased closing muscle (temporalis and masseter) activity, a shorter cycle duration and increased power stroke time. Increased adhesiveness in caramels was associated with increased closing and opening muscle activity, longer cycle duration and increased jaw movement. It was shown that changes in composition that produced changes in sensory texture change oral processing parameters of muscle activity and jaw movement.PRACTICAL APPLICATIONSUnderstanding the mechanisms of texture perception is essential when tailoring food to meet nutritional needs, while maintaining an acceptable level of quality. Textural characteristics change when ingredients are replaced or products are reformulated. In particular, the textures of low‐fat or low‐calorie products are perceived by consumers to be less pleasing compared with those of traditional foods. Understanding how oral processing is altered in response to changes in texture provides information on the physiology of texture perception that complements sensory analysis and mechanical tests.

This project investigated the roles that shear work and intensity have on the development and destabilization of a sensitive emulsion system. Samples with the same shear work level produced an emulsion with any identical median particle size (MPS). Particle size data were modeled (MPS is a function of shear work and surfactant concentration). The data revealed a critical shear limit, where an increase in shear work no longer reduced the particle size that was directly related to surfactant concentration.

A process technologist can understand the shear limitations of a fluid system simply by understanding the affects that increasing levels of shear work and shear power intensity have on that system. By understanding the shear input that is occurring within a fluid system caused by various unit operations, a process technologist would be able to correlate this to the known shear limitations and make a determination if the process is too severe or not intense enough.

Second, to ensure that the journal continues to be the primary source of advances in the understanding of food texture and sensory perception, we have invited a number of experts in these emerging research fields to join the journal's editorial board. We are delighted to welcome seven new board members: Stefan Bair, Milena Corredig, Renee de Wijk, Marco Morgenstern, Jason Stokes, Chris Vinyard and Bettina Wolf. We would also like to acknowledge the emereti board members for their past achievements and continued dedication to the Journal of Texture Studies: Malcolm Cornelius Bourne, Alina Surmacka Szczesniak, Philip Sherman, M. Anandha Rao and V.N. Mohan Rao. We are very excited about the future direction of the Journal of Texture Studies, all of which could not be possible without the attention and care that all members of the editorial team and the board, past and present, have given to ensure the journal's continued impact on the fields of texture studies and sensory perception.

Pepsin promoted additional hydrolysis compared to the acid-hydrolyzed control sample based on a 12% increase in free amino groups. Hydrolysis with pepsin also resulted in an increase in the apparent viscosity by 2 logs upon heating 8% β-lg solutions at pH 3.35. Seemingly, hydrolysis promoted thermal aggregation of β-lg, correlating well with viscosity increases. Large microgels were observed in heated pepsin hydrolysates using TEM, supporting the increased viscosities of these dispersions.

One of the major problems with fat reduction in cheese is the development of a firm texture that does not break down during mastication, unlike that observed in full-fat cheeses. The objective of this investigation was to determine how the amount of fat affects the structure of Cheddar cheese from initial formation (2 wk) through 24 wk of aging. Cheeses were made with target fat contents of 3 to 33% (wt/wt) and moisture to protein ratios of 1.5:1. This allowed for comparisons based on relative amounts of fat and protein gel phases. Cheese microstructure was determined by confocal scanning laser microscopy combined with quantitative image analysis. Rheological analysis was used to determine changes in mechanical properties. Increasing fat content caused an increase in size of fat globules and a higher percentage of nonspherical globules. However, no changes in fat globules were observed with aging. Cheese rigidity (storage modulus) increased with fat content at 10°C, but differences attributable to fat were not apparent at 25°C. This was attributable to the storage modulus of fat approaching that of the protein gel; therefore, the amount of fat or gel phase did not have an effect on the cheese storage modulus. The rigidity of cheese decreased with storage and, because changes in the fat phase were not detected, it appeared to be attributable to changes in the gel network. It appeared that the diminished textural quality in low-fat Cheddar cheese is attributed to changes in the breakdown pattern during chewing, as altered by fat disrupting the cheese network.}, number={10}, journal={JOURNAL OF DAIRY SCIENCE}, author={Rogers, N.

Based on earlier reports, the degree of lactosylation with respect to β‐lactoglobulin was lower in mWPC dispersions than measured in commercial whey concentrate (cWPC) protein solutions. In this study, a higher concentration of free sulfhydryl groups was detected in soluble supernatant fractions. Both factors potentially impact the availability of reactive lysine/glutaminyl residues required for TGase reactivity. The addition of 10 mM dithiothreitol (DTT) to the substrate mix, CBZ‐glutaminyl glycine and hydroxylamine, revealed a 3.6‐fold increase in TGase activity, likely due in part to maintenance of the catalytic cysteine residue in a reduced state. Furthermore, inclusion of DTT to mWPC dispersions significantly raised the apparent viscosity, independently of enzyme modification, while the rate of polymerization increased 2‐fold based on OPA assay measurements. Limited cross‐linking slightly increased the apparent viscosity, whereas extensive coupling lowered these values compared to equivalent nonenzyme‐treated mWPC samples. Carbohydrate‐staining revealed formation of glyco‐polymers due to covalent linkages between glucosamine and mWPC proteins after TGase processing. Again, the apparent viscosity decreased after extensive enzymatic modification. Larger particles, sized 11.28 μm, were observed in the structural matrix of TGase‐mWPC‐fixed samples compared to 8 μm particles in control mWPC samples as viewed in scanning electron micrographs. Ultimately, the functional characteristics of TGase‐mWPC ingredients may be custom‐designed to deliver alternative functional attributes by adjusting the experimental reaction conditions under which catalysis is achieved.Practical Application: Taken together, these results suggest that unique TGase‐mWPC and/or TGase‐mWPC‐glucosamine ingredients may be designed to provide novel, value‐added, polymeric/glyco‐polymeric protein products that afford added benefit for the milk industry.}, number={4}, journal={JOURNAL OF FOOD SCIENCE}, author={Clare, Debra A. and Daubert, Christopher R.}, year={2010}, month={May}, pages={C369–C377} } @article{mudgal_daubert_foegeding_2009, title={Cold-set thickening mechanism of beta-lactoglobulin at low pH: Concentration effects}, volume={23}, ISSN={["1873-7137"]}, DOI={10.1016/j.foodhyd.2009.03.009}, abstractNote={There is an interest in developing protein based thickening agents for nutritional considerations. A procedure to convert whey protein concentrates or isolates into a pH modified cold-thickening ingredient was developed. Concentration effects on thickening mechanism of this whey protein ingredient were studied with a β-lactoglobulin model system at the pH of the modification procedure, 3.35. In this study, concentration effects on thermal aggregation of β-lactoglobulin were studied at low pH using capillary and rotational viscometry, transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and high performance liquid chromatography coupled with multi-angle laser light scattering (HPLC-MALS). From the results of capillary viscometry, a critical concentration (Cc ∼ 6.9% w/w) was identified below which no significant thickening functionality could be achieved. Microscopy revealed formation of flexible fibrillar network at pH 3.35 during heating at all concentrations. These flexible fibrils had a diameter of about 5 nm and persistence length of about 35 nm as compared to more linear and stiff fibrils formed at pH 2 and low ionic strength conditions. Under similar heating conditions at concentration above Cc, larger aggregates similar to microgels were observed compared to the concentration below Cc, where isolated fibrils with an average contour length of about 130 nm were observed. These microgels and apparently stronger interactions between aggregates at concentrations above Cc were seemingly responsible for thickening functionality of heated β-lactoglobulin solutions and subsequently modified powders.

The objective of this research project was to determine the effect of mWPC on empirical and fundamental dynamic rheological properties of wheat flour dough. The results for empirical rheological studies showed that addition of mWPC had significant effects on mixographic parameters and also increased values of mixing time and peak height percentage. The results for the fundamental mechanical properties of the frozen dough revealed an increase in the values of G′ with the increase in the frequency, along with an upward trend with increasing temperature, but the highest values were obtained after cooling.

Currently, approximately 30% of these proteinaceous resources remain under-utilized. Previously, an acidified, thermally treated whey protein concentrate (mWPC) was developed to produce a cold-set thickening ingredient. Mass spectroscopy revealed an approximate 2.5-fold decrease in the lactosylation of beta-lactoglobulin in mWPC starting materials compared with commercial whey protein concentrates, manufactured at a higher pH. Potentially, this should increase the number of reactive sites that remain available for carbohydrate attachment. With this study, the formation of glycoprotein complexes was demonstrated between the mWPC ingredient and lactose, naturally occurring in mWPC powders, or between mWPC protein components with dextran (35 to 45 and 100 to 200 kDa) materials at low pH. In fact, additional dry heating of mWPC powders showed a 3-fold increase in the amount of lactosylated beta-lactoglobulin. Evidence of Maillard reactivity was suggested using colorimetry, o-phthaldialdehyde assays, and sodium dodecyl sulfate PAGE followed by glycoprotein staining. Resultant glycoprotein dispersions exhibited altered functionality, in which case steady shear and small amplitude oscillatory rheology parameters were shown to be dependent on the specific reducing sugar present. Furthermore, the emulsion stability of mWPC-dextran fractions was 2 to 3 times greater than either mWPC or commercial WPC dispersions based on creaming index values. The water-holding capacity of all test samples decreased with additional heating steps; however, mWPC-dextran powders still retained nearly 6 times their weight of water. Scanning electron microscopy revealed that mWPC-dextran conjugates formed a porous network that differed significantly from the dense network observed with mWPC samples. This porosity likely affected both the rheological and water-binding properties of mWPC-dextran complexes. Taken together, these results suggest that the functionality of mWPC ingredients can be enhanced by conjugation with carbohydrate materials at low pH, especially with regard to improving the emulsifying attributes.}, number={1}, journal={JOURNAL OF DAIRY SCIENCE}, author={Lillard, J.

Cheeses of 6, 16, and 33% fat were tested at 0.5, 3, 6, and 9 mo of aging. Cheeses were evaluated by a trained sensory panel using an established texture lexicon as well as instrumental methods, which were used to probe cheese structure. Sensory analysis showed that low-fat cheeses were differentiated from full-fat cheeses by being more springy and firm and this difference widened as the cheeses aged. In addition, full-fat cheeses broke down more during chewing than the lower fat cheeses and the degree of breakdown increased with aging. Mechanical properties were divided by magnitude of deformation during the test and separated into 3 ranges: the linear viscoelastic region, the nonlinear region, and fracture point. These regions represent a stress/strain response from low to high magnitude, respectively. Strong relationships between sensory terms and rheological properties determined in the linear (maximum compliance) and nonlinear (critical stress and strain and a nonlinear shape factor) regions were revealed. Some correlations were seen with fracture values, but these were not as high as terms related to the nonlinear region of the cheeses. The correlations pointed to strain-weakening behavior being the critical mechanical property. This was associated with higher fat content cheeses breaking down more as strain increased up to fracture. Increased strain weakening associated with an increase in fat content was attributed to fat producing weak points in the protein network, which became initiation sites for fracture within the structure. This suggests that fat replacers need to serve this functional role.}, number={10}, journal={JOURNAL OF DAIRY SCIENCE}, author={Rogers, N. R. and Drake, M. A. and Daubert, C. R. and McMahon, D.

Although the dextran and glycerol dramatically changed the viscosity of the alginate solution, the gelation kinetics was not affected. This observation may be attributed to the fact that the gelling process was controlled by the combination of carboxylic groups in alginate chains with Ca2 + , and not by the diffusion process of alginate molecules and Ca2 + through the viscous medium. The small‐strain shear modulus of alginate gels with either low molecular‐weight dextran (MW: 140,000 Da) or glycerol remained nearly constant, as did the large deformation and fracture properties. The addition of high molecular‐weight dextran (MW: 4–5 million Da) altered the small‐strain shear modulus and lowered the gel fracture stress of the alginate gels, while the fracture strain remained the same. The change in small‐strain shear modulus and large deformation and fracture properties for alginate gels with high MW dextran cannot simply be explained by the change in viscosity of the gel liquid phase. A plausible explanation for this behavior is that, in some manner, large dextran molecules influenced the alginate gel network. PRACTICAL APPLICATIONSA common characteristic of food gels is a three‐dimensional network formed by primary gel‐forming materials, such as proteins and polysaccharides. Alongside the gelling material(s), additives are frequently included to attain desirable functionality. The gel network stabilizes the system, and the physiochemical properties of gels are dominated by structural organization at the molecular level. The inclusion of additives may affect physical and chemical properties of the gels, and subsequently, the rheological properties. Rational optimization of product formulations and processing conditions of food gels depends on a better understanding of the impact of additives on processing and rheological properties.}, number={5}, journal={Journal of Texture Studies}, author={Zhang, J. and Daubert, C.

A rheological assessment included the determination of (i) power law parameters, (ii) viscoelastic properties, and (iii) the effects of heating and cooling on these protein systems. The sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) banding profile suggested that various disulfide-linked molecular forms of beta-lactoglobulin, bovine serum albumin, and immunoglobulin were likely formed during manufacturing of the mWPC ingredient based on the patterns obtained when electrophoresis was performed in the absence of beta-mercaptoethanol compared to those observed with commercial WPC samples. An enhanced water-holding capacity was measured in mWPC-Ca2+ dispersions. Differential scanning calorimetry established that the addition of calcium salts caused a 2-fold increase in the amount of bound or unfreezeable water compared to mWPC controls. The physical appearance of the network structure varied significantly upon visualization with scanning electron microscopy, in which case the formation of large, rounded, spherical structures was noted in mWPC-Ca2+ samples, ascribed to an increased surface tension caused by the higher salt content.

When SPI was heated at 3% protein equivalently, prior to reconstitution to 8% protein, the final viscosity was about 3 orders of magnitude less than the original sample. The viscosity of SPI heated at 3% protein was still nearly 2 orders of magnitude less than the original sample after both samples were reheated at 8% protein. These results suggested that heat denaturation at low protein concentrations limited network formation even after the protein concentration and interaction sites increased, impacting the isolate's cold gelling ability. Gelation was prevented upon treatment of SPI with iodoacetamide, which carbaminomethylated the cysteine residues, establishing the role of disulfide bonds in network formation. The viscosity of the 8% protein dispersion was also reduced by 2 orders of magnitude when treated with 8 M urea, and when combined with 10 mM DTT the gel viscosity was decreased by another order of magnitude. These results suggested that hydrophobic interactions played a primary role in gel strength after disulfide bonds form.

A dramatic increase in storage modulus with pH was observed during cooling at a fixed cooling rate. Continuous networks were formed for gels at pH 7.2 and above, while a discontinuous network was observed for gels below pH 6.5. The monotonic increase in storage modulus with pH could be correlated to the number of net (negative) charges and the strength of the hydrophobic interactions. At a higher pH, the protein micelles were larger due to weaker hydrophobic interactions and stronger repulsive electrostatic interactions resulting from more charges. When these protein micelles aggregated into flocs during cooling, the flocs had similar sizes at different pH values but a smaller fractal dimension at a higher pH. Consequently, for systems of the same protein and salt concentrations, more flocs were present in the gels at a higher pH, which subsequently generated more cross-links and a higher storage modulus. The pH also determined how the cooling rate affected the gel properties. At pH 5.8 and 6.5, the gels were firmest at the fastest cooling schedule, and the cooling rate did not show a trend in affecting the gel strength at the other three rates. On the other hand, a slower cooling rate generated a firmer gel at pH 7.2 and 12.0. The analysis of casein interactions suggests that the cooling rate affected the casein floc size only when repulsive interactions enabled a slow flocculation (at higher pH values) comparable with temperature change rates during cooling. For rennet casein gels of pH within the range of processed cheese products (pH 5.8 and 6.5), particle or cluster rearrangements created more uniform networks for gels cooled at slower schedules and weakened the structure.}, number={7}, journal={JOURNAL OF AGRICULTURAL AND FOOD CHEMISTRY}, author={Zhong, Qixin and Daubert, Christopher R. and Velev, Orlin D.}, year={2007}, month={Apr}, pages={2688–2697} } @article{hamann_zhang_daubert_foegeding_diehl_2006, title={Analysis of compression, tension and torsion for testing food gel fracture properties}, volume={37}, ISSN={["1745-4603"]}, DOI={10.1111/j.1745-4603.2006.00074.x}, abstractNote={ABSTRACT Three fracture test methods: uniaxial compression, uniaxial tension and torsion were examined by interpreting results using theories upon which the methods were based. In each of these tests, the fracture of gels can occur as a result of shear, compression or tension. The fracture properties determined from uniaxial compression and tension were compared with torsion testing, a suitable reference technique. Shear stress and strain in uniaxial compression were comparable with shear stress and strain in torsion. However, the tensile stress in compression is not in agreement with that in torsion. Tensile stress or shear stress values in uniaxial tension were generally comparable with tensile or shear stress values in torsion, while the strain levels in uniaxial tension were typically much lower than those in uniaxial compression or torsion. This result could be related to the fracture strain being a function of elongation necessary to reduce the specimen cross section to an area producing the critical fracture stress. The comparison among different methods revealed shear stress and strain can be the fracture criteria for uniaxial compression, and tensile stress can be the fracture criterion for uniaxial tension, whereas the fracture strain criterion in uniaxial tension cannot be specified. Possible mechanisms for differences among methods are discussed in the manuscript. }, number={6}, journal={JOURNAL OF TEXTURE STUDIES}, author={Hamann, Donald D. and Zhang, Junhua and Daubert, Christopher R. and Foegeding, E.

No direct relationship was found between the fracture properties and gel liquid‐phase viscosity. In general, addition of dextran and glycerol did not affect gel network crosslink density and chain length. With minimal dextran addition, fracture stress and strain experienced large increases. Increase of the fracture stress and strain was attributed to fracture mode transition from elastic to elasto‐plastic fracture, resulting from dextran addition. Plastic deformation at the crack tips, acting as fracture‐initiating points, prior to fracture propagation lowered stress concentration effect. Sensitivity of 10% PAAm gels, with/without dextran, to induced imperfections showed the fracture stress to be higher than expected based on Griffith's energy balance criteria, manifesting in a delayed fracture process. The plastic deformation was ascribed to the delayed crack nucleation resulting from dextran addition. The fracture stress and strain of 10% PAAm gels increased with glycerol addition. The increase in fracture properties was attributed to plastic deformation, caused by a delayed crack nucleation prior to fracture propagation. The mechanism of delayed crack nucleation remains unclear, but the results obtained from this investigation can be used to understand reasons for the change in fracture property of food gels created by additives. }, number={2}, journal={Journal of Texture Studies}, author={Zhang, J.

Analysis of the rheological characteristics and zeta potential of the modified whey suspensions of defined particle sizes allowed investigation into the role of size on ingredient functionality. Preliminarily, the modified protein powders were sieved to achieve three size ranges, and analyzes were conducted on each of the three distributions and the non-sieved fractions. Following hydration, steady and oscillatory shear analyzes were performed using a controlled stress rheometer to determine rheological characteristics. Intrinsic viscosity was determined with a capillary viscometer and application of the Huggins equation. Zeta potential was calculated from colloidal electrophoretic mobility, measured with a ZetaPALS analyser. After thorough hydration, particle-size analysis revealed a size increase of >1.3 times for each fraction. When analysed on a protein basis, increasing particle size yielded an increase to intrinsic viscosity, flow behavior index, zero shear viscosity, and a decreased zeta potential and consistency coefficient.

Thus, the objective was to determine the effects of viscosity reduction of sweetpotato puree with alpha‐amylase, maltodextrin (MD) addition, and inlet air temperature on the physicochemical characteristics of spray‐dried sweetpotato powder. A face‐centered cube design was used to evaluate the effects of amylase level (0, 3.75, and 7.5 mL/kg puree), MD concentration (0%, 10%, and 20%), and inlet air temperature (150 °C, 190 °C, and 220 °C) on powder characteristics. Model‐fitting using response surface methodology was performed to examine the effects of independent variables on the moisture content, color, water absorption, solubility, particle size, bulk density, and glass transition temperature. The data were fit to a full second order polynomial equation. However, only the linear and quadratic terms proved to be significant for most dried powder attributes. MD significantly increased powder solubility, altered the hue value, and raised the glass transition temperature of the powder. Pretreatment with alpha‐amylase resulted in a lower glass transition temperature and a decrease in particle size. Overall, results show that good quality sweetpotato powders can be produced using this drying method, with potential applications in food and nutraceutical products.}, number={5}, journal={JOURNAL OF FOOD SCIENCE}, author={Grabowski, J.

Gel properties were examined under conditions of varying agarose concentration (0.5–2.5% w/w), glycerol concentration (0–60% w/w), and strain rate (0.0017–0.17 s−1). Small-strain behaviors were primarily elastic with only slight frequency dependence. Large-strain behaviors and fracture properties were dependent upon strain rate, agarose and glycerol concentration. Increasing concentrations of agarose produced an increasingly stronger, more brittle network, while increasing concentrations of glycerol produced an increasingly stronger, more deformable network. All fracture properties and non-linear behaviors increased with increasing strain rate in a similar manner, suggesting a general mechanism responsible for strain rate effects that is similar for non-linear and fracture behavior. Increasing concentrations of agarose and glycerol, respectively, increased and decreased the strain rate dependence of non-linear behavior. Phenomenological models were evaluated for describing non-linear behavior.

Four texture attributes were used to describe the gels, including ‘hand small-strain force’, ‘hand springiness’, ‘hand fracture force’, and ‘hand fracture deformation’. Gels were differentiated similarly by sensory analysis and fracture properties (p≤0.05). Hand small-strain force and ‘hand-fracture force’ terms were capable of differentiating the gels equally as well, indicating that relative gel strength was perceived similarly with non-destructive and fracture causing deformations. Surprisingly, the hand force terms correlated more highly with fracture modulus (fractures stress/fracture strain) values (r≥0.98, p≤0.001) than fracture stress values (r=0.76–0.82, p≤0.05), suggesting sensory perception of force includes a coupling of stress and strain. The definition of the term hand fracture deformation was very similar to the commonly used sensory term ‘cohesiveness’, and was highly correlated with fracture strain values (r=0.98, p≤0.001).

The gel fracture stress correlated with Ca2+ and alginate concentration, whereas the fracture strain was insensitive to composition. Considering the relationship of fracture stress with gel network crosslink density and the energy to break covalent and noncovalent bonds, the fracture of alginate gels is hypothesized to result from the disruption of junction zones. Consequently, the fracture stress was the stress required to overcome electrostatic forces that formed junction zones. The fracture stress‐strain relationship for alginate gels can be described by the Blatz, Sharda, adn Tschoegl (BST) equation, suggesting that for a given gel, the fracture strain can be predicted based on fracture stress, small‐strain shear modulus, and a fitted parameter describing nonlinearity of the gel.

A larger number of smaller flocs were generated at slower cooling rates, creating more cross-links within a network and corresponding to a stronger gel. Formation of a larger number of smaller flocs was hypothesized to result from a greater degree of doublet formation because the system spent more time within the temperature region where doublet formation is favored when cooled at slower rates. The doublets represent sites available for floc growth, similar to nucleation sites for crystal growth. Microscopy results further substantiated that the cooling effects were different from the aging effects because cooling affected floc size, and aging enabled the addition of idle flocs into the casein network. The conclusions for the cooling effects on floc size were further supported by permeability tests. A smaller permeability coefficient resulted from smaller flocs obtained with a slower cooling schedule.

This observation resulted from the availability of more flocs at a slower cooling rate and a higher casein concentration, simplifying floc cross-linking. By analyzing the kinetics during the aging process of casein gels, no difference in the reaction mechanism was observed. This study illustrated that structure formation resulted from the addition of flocs into the protein network: not all flocs were part of the network at a defined gel point.

At a shear rate of 7.5 s−1, the viscosity of the mixture at 15°C was 936.8 Pa s, while the viscosity at 30°C was 112.7 Pa s. Power law models were developed for each temperature. Generalized models for predicting apparent viscosity as a function of temperature and shear rate were developed using both a multiple linear regression equation and a modified Arrhenius‐type equation. The tube viscometry technique and subsequent models have applications to the prediction of flow behavior of highly viscous materials to aid in food process design. #Approved as Paper No. FSR 02‐14 of the Department of Food Science Journal Series.}, number={2}, journal={INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF FOOD PROPERTIES}, author={Leach, MR and Farkas, BE and Daubert, CR}, year={2003}, pages={259–267} } @article{lowe_foegeding_daubert_2003, title={Rheological properties of fine-stranded whey protein isolate gels}, volume={17}, ISSN={["0268-005X"]}, DOI={10.1016/S0268-005X(03)00014-6}, abstractNote={The rheological and fracture properties of fine stranded WPI gels were determined over a range of shear strain rates (0.014–0.69 s−1).

Rheological approaches to shelf-life and freshness may range from a simple squeezing technique to advanced oscillatory methodologies probing material microstructure. As rheology relates to consumer perceptions of quality and freshness, a more common sensory term, texture, is employed. Changes in texture and stability during storage have been recognized as important factors influencing consumer acceptability of many food products. Texture is a complex attribute of food quality and can only be measured directly by sensory evaluation. However, many instrumental methods are used to measure mechanical properties of foods that are, up to a certain extent, related to sensory characteristics. Large strain methods such as puncture, penetration, bending, tension, shear, compression, and texture profile analysis are commonly used to evaluate freshness and textural changes of foods with respect to storage conditions. For fluid foods, various rheological techniques evaluate yield stress and shear viscosity, providing information about pourability, thickness, and dispersion or emulsion stability over time. Small strain methods, specifically dynamic oscillatory shear and mechanical analyses, are useful in probing microstructure, viscoelastic properties, and phase transitions in food materials.

Replacement of native whey protein isolate with WP-polymers increased fracture stress, fracture modulus, held water, and the translucency of gels. With both salt types, the addition of WP-polymers changed the gel structure from particulate to fine-stranded. However, the effect of WP-polymers on rheological properties was salt specific. Addition of 20–100% WP-polymers in the presence of 10 mM CaCl2 caused a continued increase in fracture stress. In contrast, protein dispersions containing 30 mM NaCl did not form self-supporting gels when ≥60% WP-polymers were added. Dispersions containing 200 mM NaCl formed self supporting gels at all levels of WP-polymer addition but fracture stresses for gels containing 20–100% WP were similar. Dispersions containing 80% WP-polymers and 200 mM NaCl had lower gel points (time and temperature) than dispersions with 80% WP-polymers and 10 mM CaCl2.
