Abstract

The aim of the proposed study is to improve control of biscuit colour through an understanding of how the recipes of biscuit doughs, and the baking conditions (rate of moisture loss, temperature, water activity), affect the final colour of the baked products, obtained through the mathematical modelling of chemical and transport behaviour in model systems and biscuit baking operations. A part of the study is to develop instrumentation for the study of the browning of food at high temperature and controlled moisture conditions.
