In order to evaluate the WRC of the different batter
formulations, the amount of water released after
batter centrifugation was quantified. Thirty grams of batter
samples at 5, 15 and 25 8C was placed in 50 ml centrifuge
tubes and centrifuged at 17,300g for 10 min at the respective
temperatures in a Sorvallw Superspeed Centrifugate (Du
Pont Instruments). After centrifugation, the supernatant
solution was removed and weighed. WRC is expressed as
100%—the percentage of water released
