The aim of this research is to study the effect of lipid physical prop-erties on the quality of baked products. A low saturated shortening will be processed with and without US and tempered at different tempera-tures (5 and 25 °C) to generate different physical characteristics in the lipid network obtained. These shortenings will be then used to formu-late cakes, cookies and pie crusts.
The quality of these products will be quantifiedusingspecifictestsasdescribedintheMaterialsandmethods section.
