Record 7 2008-12-24

English

Subject field(s)
  • Cheese and Dairy Products
CONT

Buttery texture refers to lumps of butterfat large enough to be easily detected in the mouth. When a lump of butterfat is chewed, the sensation is different from that obtained from ice crystals or from lactose crystals. This defect is due to churning(usually during the freezing process), which results from incomplete homogenization, high fat content, mix entering the freezer at too high a temperature and slow freezing.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Laiterie, beurrerie et fromagerie
OBS

La texture de beurre est causée par un excès de matière grasse dans le mélange. Il se produit un barattage plus ou moins prononcé dans le congélateur si l'homogénéisation a été incomplète et le refroidissement insuffisant à l'entrée de l'appareil.

The Nutrition Labeling and Education Act(NLEA) fully implemented in 1995 allowed for some modifying terminology. According to this act, ice cream can be modified to be called reduced-fat ice cream, light ice cream, low-fat ice cream and no-fat ice cream. In order to understand these modified terms, it is necessary to realize that NLEA was promulgated to aid food processors to make foods that would result in lowering the fat intake of the U. S. population and still allow manufacturers to use food names that consumers like. Reduced-fat ice cream should achieve a 25 percent reduction in fat over the full-fat counterpart. This means ice cream with 7. 5 percent fat can be labeled as reduced-fat.
