Abstract

The objective of this work was to evaluate the effect of high intensity ultrasound (HIU) on the physical properties of a commercial shortening crystallized at a constant temperature and during temperature cycling at two different cooling rates (0.5 and 1 °C/min). Different ultrasound power levels and different durations were evaluated during crystallization at a constant temperature and the best conditions were used to evaluate the effect of HIU during temperature cycling. The physical properties tested were crystal microstructure, viscoelasticity, and melting profile. Results show that HIU is more efficient at changing crystal microstructure when used at 20 °C using a 1/2″ tip. No difference was found on the microstructure of the crystals formed when different durations of ultrasound exposure were tested. A significant increase (p < 0.05) was observed in the storage modulus (G′) of the lipid exposed to temperature fluctuations with the use of HIU. The G′ values increased from 662.6 ± 176.8 Pa (no HIU applied) to 3,365.5 ± 426.4 Pa (with HIU applied, 0.5 °C/min) and from 354.4 ± 49.7 Pa (no HIU applied) to 1,249.0 ± 19.8 Pa (with HIU applied, 1 °C/min).
