The primary objective of this study was to evaluate oxidation and firmness of butter and ice cream made with modified milkfat containing enhanced amounts of linoleic acid or oleic acid. The influence of the fatty acid profile of the HO milkfat relating to product properties as compared with the influence the fatty acid profile of the HL milkfat was the main focus of the research. Altering the d...

Vanilla ice cream contained 9.56% milk fat, 11.0% milk SNF, 13% beet sugar, and 4% 36 dextroseequivalent corn syrup solids. The control contained 3.74% protein and was not supplemented with milk protein concentrates. Treatments 2 and 3 (T2 and T3) were supplemented with milk protein concentrates and contained 40, 60 per cent increased protein level respectively. The ash and lactose content of a...

Escherichia coli O145:H28 strain RM12581 was isolated from bagged romaine lettuce during a 2010 U.S. lettuce-associated outbreak. E. coli O145:H28 strain RM12761 was isolated from ice cream during a 2007 ice cream-associated outbreak in Belgium. Here we report the complete genome sequences and annotation of both strains.

It is suggested recently that most of halo coronal mass ejections (CMEs) may be formed by an ice cream cone-like shell of dense CME electrons. We improve our cone model (Zhao, Plunkett and Liu, 2002) to include the contribution of the top surface of the ice cream part as well as the cone part to the shape of the halo CMEs. It is found that for an ice cream cone with a half sphere sitting on the...

The aim of this study was to evaluate the survivability of three probiotic strains Lactobacillus plantarum, Lactobacillus casei and Bifidobaterium bifidum in ice cream using microencapsulation by calcium alginate and whey protein concentrate. Also, the effect of different prebiotics (inulin, lactulose and Fructooligosaccharides) was studied. Six types of synbiotic ice cream containing free and ...

A decision-maker is "irregular" if she would choose B from [A, B, C] but not from [A, B] (for example, preferring vanilla ice cream in a choice between vanilla and chocolate, but chocolate in a choice among vanilla, chocolate and strawberry). Similarly to previous studies we observed irregular choices by college students faced with hypothetical discount cards for supermarkets. However, older ad...

We suggested to 228 subjects in two experiments that, as children, they had had negative experiences with a fattening food. An additional 107 subjects received no such suggestion and served as controls. In Experiment 1, a minority of subjects came to believe that they had felt ill after eating strawberry ice cream as children, and these subjects were more likely to indicate not wanting to eat s...

In the highly competitive market, it is increasingly hard for ice cream stores to develop creative marketing strategies to retain existing customers and attract new ones. This study applies the means-end chain approach to identify the customer value, consequences, and attributes of ice cream and to suggest useful information for ice cream sellers to develop differential marketing strategies acr...
