Main Factors

Of the four main factors commonly regarded as influencing keeping properties of ghee, viz. moisture content, acidity, heat treatment and type of bacterial culture used in souring, the heat treatment was found to be the most important.In general, the higher the final temperature (110° C. and higher) attained during evaporation, the better were the keeping properties of the product, providing that the butter had been heated in contact with curd, boiled as rapidly as possible, and given a minimum amount of stirring.The improved keeping properties conferred on ghee heated to 110–150° C. were promoted by antioxidants (apparently phospholipids) extracted from the curd during cooking.Initial acidity and moisture contents had no effect on storage life of ghee at 38° C., and the practice of grading ghee according to its acidity would appear to be of questionable value. Souring of milk to give 2·5–3·0% lactic acid and the accompanying desirable flavour did not detract from the keeping quality of the ghee made from it.The type of bacterial culture used for souring had only slight influence on keeping quality of ghee, but a marked influence on flavour.Storage life of ghee at 38° C. (‘Indian summer temperature’) could be predicted with fair accuracy from its rate of oxidation at 100° C. in a ‘Swift oxidation tester’.

Keeping Quality

The storage life of a dehydrated mixture of egg and milk, when assessed by both palatability and fluorescence measurements, was shorter than the life of milk powder of similar protein, fat, and carbohydrate content. Increased quantities of egg in the mixture decreased the quality of the mixture, both initially and during 16 weeks' storage. These effects were noticeable at all temperatures studied between 40° and 140° F. but were most marked above 80° F. After 16 weeks at 80° F., material packed under carbon dioxide usually had better palatability than the air-packed products. The effect of added sugar was most noticeable at 120° and 140° F. Lactose had a slightly beneficial effect; sucrose was more effective.

Chlortetracycline had no effect in prolonging the keeping quality of round and eviscerated freshwater fish when stored at 30 °C. However, the effectiveness of the antibiotic in prolonging the storage life of fish fillets stored under identical conditions was demonstrated.

Storage Temperatures

Wheat germ samples with moisture content varying between 8.0 and 26.5% were stored in air in sealed tins at − 40.0°, − 26.1°, − 17.8°, − 9.4°, − 1.1°, 15.6°, and 23.9 °C. The appearance of organoleptic spoilage appeared to be coincident with the termination of the induction period in oxidative rancidity development, as assessed by the peroxide oxygen value of the extracted oil. Storage life was considerably extended by holding at low moisture levels and low storage temperatures. However, even at − 40 °C. sufficient deterioration occurred to reduce the keeping quality of wheat germ subsequently stored at higher temperatures. Both packing in nitrogen and compressing into blocks lengthened storage life. Thiamin content, determined by the method described, did not change during storage.Wheat germ oil expressed by pressure became rancid more rapidly than oil extracted with petrol ether. Increase in temperature markedly decreased the storage life of the oil.Present indications are that protein hydrolysis may be a more important factor than fat spoilage in the deterioration of wheat germ.

Added Water

Moisture alone had little detrimental effect on lard storage life (time at 90° F. to attain a peroxide oxygen value of 10 ml. of 0.002 N thiosulphate per gm.) except at the highest levels of incorporation (up to 12.8%), but citric acid, lecithin, and alpha-tocopherol had more stabilizing action in dry lard than in lard containing water. Gum guaiac gave the greatest increase in storage life and citric acid the least. The stabilization varied with the original quality of the lards tested (two wet rendered, two dry rendered, and two composite lards) but no segregation of the results according to wet and dry rendering of these lards was possible.

Whole Egg

Acidification of liquid egg prior to drying did not improve subsequent storage life, although pH measurements showed that powder from untreated egg became acid more rapidly during storage. Reduction in the moisture content (total volatiles) from 4.7 to 3.0% doubled, and reduction from 4.7 to 1.7% tripled, the storage life of dried whole egg powder as assessed by fluorescence tests. The maximum storage life predicted for the low moisture powder by this test was only 36 wk. at 27 °C. and 5 wk. at 38 °C. Palatability tests suggested that the product was somewhat less perishable, as a powder of 1.7% moisture was considered fit for use as an egg dish after 64 wk. at 27 °C. Gas-packing low moisture powders in an atmosphere of carbon dioxide appeared to be slightly more effective as a means of retaining palatability than packing in an atmosphere of air or nitrogen, but was particularly effective in preventing loss of solubility (assessed by potassium chloride values) during storage.
