Effects of Starch-Based Anti-Caking Agents on Browning of Shredded Mozzarella Cheese
The effects of starch-based anti-caking agents on the browning of Mozzarella cheese were evaluated in this experiment. Six commercially available anti-caking agent treatments were examined and color measurements indicated that the starch-based anti-caking agents produced a baked cheese with a …

Effects of Starch-based Anti-caking Agents on the Functional Properties of Shredded Mozzarella Cheese
… for pizza and ready to eat food items. Anti-caking agents are utilized in the production of shredded cheese for reducing clumping and increasing the appearance of separate cheese shreds. Six anti-caking agents were applied to low moisture part skim Mozzarella cheese and examined for effects …

Investigation of glucose hydrate formation and loss: Parameters, mechanisms, and physical stability
… as a new tool for such analysis. Since caking is a major problem in powdered ingredients, the physical stability of α-AG and GM was also studied in this research. Using a qualitative caking scale from free flowing with minimal clumping (1) to fully caked (5), the stability of α-AG and GM …

Handling characteristics of coal/biomass mixes: measurements and establishing benchmarks.
… of the project was the determination that caking due to mould growth over time, is a key handling issue and that different biomasses behave differently when added to coal in different mix ratios as far as caking it concerned. Another contribution is the Best Practice Guide that was prepared …

The Effect of Sorbic Acid on the Survival oOf Escherichia coli 0157:H7, Salmonella, Listeria monocytogenes, and Staphylococcus aureus on Shredded Cheddar and Mozzarella Cheese
… acid (0, 0.1, 0.15, 0.2 and 0.3 %) and anti caking agent mixture and stored at 10 °C. Each variable was enumerated after 0,14,28,42,56, and 70 days of storage. Survival of E. coli 0157:H7 showed no significant difference from control in either cheese. There were significantly lower Salmonella …

A comparison of physical characteristics of pine shavings biosecure pine shavings and sunflower hulls as litter material and its influence on broiler performance
… (BD), pH, water-holding capacity (WHC), litter caking, proximate laboratory analysis of the litter materials and propensity to litter beetle infestation. Broiler performance was measured by production parameters: average daily gain (ADG), feed conversion ratio (FCR), production efficiency factor …

Deagglomeration and mixing via the rapid expansion of high pressure and supercritical suspensions
… without the necessity of filtration and caking issues that are typically associated with them. The REHPS process was capable of producing high-quality mixtures on the sub-micron scale, and was made far superior when the nano-powders were first pre-mixed by stirring to decrease …

Experimental and Modeling the Flow Properties of Distillers Dried Grains (DDG) with Varying Soluble Levels and Moisture Contents
… DDGS flowability is often problematic due to caking and bridging during storage and transportation. This is a major issue faced by the ethanol producers and farmers and needs to be addressed.<br /> To address the flow problem, the key factors affecting the flowability of DDGS should be …

Fluidised bed gasification of high-ash South African coals : an experimental and modelling study
… for the utilisation of fine, high-ash and caking coals for future Integrated Gasification Combined Cycle (IGCC) and coal to liquids (CTL) plants. These coals are estimated to form a large percentage of the remaining coal reserves in South Africa and could be difficult to utilise efficiently …

Experimental investigation of constant volume sulfur dust explosions
… then used to determine the e ectiveness of anti-caking agents to assist with the dispersion of sulfur. The addition of 1% by mass of submicron fumed silica particles was more effective then the addition of calcium stearate and magneisum stearate even at greater concentrations. The validity of …

Numerical simulation of mechanofusion system for dry particle coating process
… fixed scraper blade, which prevents powder from caking against the chamber wall. The simulation studies are performed on two scales: system scale to investigate the particle-particle and particle system interactions, and micro scale to study the degradation of agglomerates prior to the dry …

Investigating the effect of amorphization method on the physicochemical properties and heat- and moisture-induced crystallization behaviors of amorphous sucrose
… physical changes, including stickiness, caking, and recrystallization, which decrease product stability and alter product quality attributes, such as texture, taste, aroma retention, and drug efficacy. As a result, the physical stability of amorphous sugars has stimulated substantial …
