CONCLUSIONS: Creaminess of samples was evaluated as a comparison between low-fat and
fat-free samples. This is a comparative measure between two samples, but
doesgivegoodindicationoftheeffectofformulationontheprotein:protein
network and resulting gel set. Such a test would be excellent both within the
Quality and Development environments, where product matching as well as
process control could be facilitated.
