Cookie Dough Rheology

2008-01-01
Cookies and biscuits are products made from soft flours. Low content of protein (8 to 10% in the grain), low water absorption, and low resistance to deformation are the characteristics that describe the suitability of wheat for biscuit production (Pedersen et al., 2004). Cookies are characterized by a formula high in sugar and fat and low in water. Cookie dough is cohesive but to a large degree lacks the extensibility and elasticity characteristics of bread dough. Relatively high quantities of fat and sugar in dough provide dough plasticity and cohesiveness without the formation of the gluten network, and they produce less elastic dough (Faridi, 1990). A highly elastic dough is not desirable in biscuit making because it shrinks after lamination. In addition, and again depending on the formulation, cookie dough tends to spread (become larger and wider) as it bakes rather than to shrink as does cracker dough. Spread is an important quality parameter for cookies.

Water Dynamics in Starch Based Confectionery Products including Different Types of Sugar

Starch-based confectionery products were prepared using different types of sugar. In addition to using different sugar, starch was replaced with soy protein isolate (SPI) in some of the products. H-1 NMR spin-lattice relaxation experiments were performed for the collection of products in a broad frequency range from 4 KHz to 30 MHz to get insight into the influence of different sugar types and SPI on the dynamics of water in composite gel systems. The relaxation data have been decomposed into relaxation con...
In vitro digestibility of soy-protein isolate containing soft candies formulated with d-psicose
Sakar, Elif Gökçen; Öztop, Halil Mecit; Department of Food Engineering (2019)
Commercial soft candy products are known to contain high amount of sugar and therefore they are considered as not healthy and high calorie sweets. Most of the candy present in the market are made by sucrose and as a gelling agent, gelatin and sometimes starch or pectin is being used. In this study, D-Allulose (rare sugar), soy protein isolate (SPI) and pectin were used to prepare different soft candy formulations. D-Allulose was used as a replacement of sucrose at different ratios (Sucrose/D-Allulose: 0/35,...
Evaluation of highly unsaturated oleogels as shortening replacer in a short dough product
Mert, Behiç (2016-05-01)
Cookie is a baked product with significant amount of fat and the development of well aerated short dough is the initial step for preparation of cookies with commonly accepted textural properties. The objective of this study was to investigate the potential application of two different oleogels that contain Carnauba wax (CRW) and Candelilla wax (CDW) to replace shortening in cookie. Incorporation 2.5 g/100 g and 5 g/100 g wax into sunflower oil (SFO) resulted in self-standing oleogels of which rheological ch...
Investigation of Physical Properties and Moisture Sorption Behaviour of Different MArshmallow Formulations
Kırtıl, Emrah; Öztop, Halil Mecit (2016-08-25)
Marshmallows are a type of confectionary product known for its soft, foamy texture. It owes this characteristic to its relatively high moisture content (17-21% by wt) and porous structure. However, these attributes make marshmallows more susceptible to quality degrading changes such as; sugar crystallization, texture aging, foam collapse and hardening or softening. The high interfacial area, increases the rates of mass transfer which makes it harder for marshmallows to preserve its initial moisture content ...
Bread baking in halogen lamp-microwave combination oven
Keskin, SO; Şümnü, Servet Gülüm; Şahin, Serpil (Elsevier BV, 2004-01-01)
The main objective of the study was to compare the effects of halogen lamp-microwave combination baking on quality of breads with other baking methods (conventional, microwave and halogen lamp baking). It was also aimed to improve the quality of microwave baked breads by using combination oven. Weight loss, specific volume, firmness and color of the breads were measured as quality parameters. Halogen lamp-microwave combination oven reduced the conventional baking time of breads by about 75%. Microwave heati...
