Application of liquid chromatography for the molecular characterisation of ripened cheeses and relationship with technological aspects
In ripened cheeses, the nitrogen fraction is mainly constituted by caseins, which are the most abundant proteins in milk and are concentrated during the cheese-making process, and the derived peptides. Whey proteins are usually considered to be lost in the liquid whey fraction during curdling, although it is well known…
Rheology as a design tool for novel food concepts
2 September 2014 | By Leonard M. C. Sagis and Elke Scholten, Physics and Physical Chemistry of Food, Wageningen University
The rheological properties of food products are very important in the production, preparation, and consumption of food. Rheological measurements are therefore a highly useful tool in the design of novel food concepts. Here we discuss the use of rheological techniques to develop and characterise pasta and noodle products, with high…

The world food supply is constantly transforming to meet consumer needs that vary from culture to culture. Lowering the fat content in certain foods has been a goal for several decades due to either a desire to reduce overall calories or avoiding certain types of fat, or fat in general.…
Chocolate conching: Aroma improvement by a changed flavour distribution
2 September 2014 | By Wolfgang Danzl, Brewing Engineer, Technical University of Munich and Dr Gottfried Ziegleder, Senior Scientist, University of Applied Science, Weihenstephan
For decades, there have been theoretical considerations about the causes of the aroma improvement during conching of chocolates. Conching is highly important for the sensory quality but is also very time- and energyconsuming, and therefore represents the most expensive step of chocolate manufacturing.
