The aim of this research is to study the effect of lipid physical properties on the quality of baked products. A low saturated shortening will be processed with and without US and tempered at different temperatures (5 and 25 °C) to generate different physical characteristics in the lipid network obtained
These shortenings will be then used to formulate cakes, cookies and pie crusts. The quality of these products will be
quantified using specific tests as described in theMaterials and methods section.
