A. Bharti et al., Effect of conventional versus ultrapasteurization of egg components on thequality of custards and cakes, J FD SCI M, 38(3), 2001, pp. 239-242
Effect of ultrapasteurization of egg components on the quality of custards
and cakes was studied. Ultrapasteurization caused significant (P<0.05) incr
eases in coagulation content and pH of liquid white, while significant decr
eases were observed in percent moisture absorption, foam draining character
istics, cake volume and cake height. Cakes prepared from ultrapasteurized s
amples were poor in shape, when compared to those by conventional pasteuriz
ation. However, organoleptic evaluation scores showed slight improvement in
ultrapasteurized sponge cake made of yolk. Baked custard did not show any
significant difference between two treatments in respect of organoleptic qu
alities.
