Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Point Process Development for Peanut Butter
No full textUW-Stout Research Day showcases student, faculty, and staff research, creativity, and innovation and its impact on business, industry and the community.Peanut butter is a common food, but during process safety is essential. This research poster details the development and practical application of a Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points (HACCP) strategy for peanut butter manufacturing, emphasizing the significance of maintaining its safety and quality. The process involved recognizing potential hazards, determining critical control points, and instituting monitoring protocols. Specific thresholds were defined for each control point to uphold food safety standards. Additionally, the plan outlined corrective measures, verification methods, and documentation practices. The adoption of this HACCP plan is crucial for mitigating food safety hazards and maintaining uniform excellence in peanut butter production.Office of Research & Sponsored Program
Development of Low Calorie Plant Based Heavy Whip Cream Using Water Soluble Seaweed Extract (Agar) as Fat Replacer and Stabilizer
No full textDepartment of Kinesiology, Health, Food & Nutritional Sciences UW-StoutThis research focuses on developing a low-calorie, plant-based heavy cream using agar, a seaweed extract, as a fat replacer and stabilizer. The resulting non-dairy whipped cream offers significant health benefits, including reduced calories and saturated fats compared to traditional dairy whipped cream. Sensory evaluations indicate that the agar-based cream maintains desirable texture and taste attributes, achieving higher acceptability among consumers. This innovative alternative not only meets the growing demand for healthier dietary options but also enhances the potential for sustainable food practices
Power in the pasture: energy and the history of ranching in western South Dakota
No full text2012 Summer.Includes bibliographical references.Transitions in the use of energy transformed the landscape, labor, and domestic life of cattle ranching in western South Dakota from the late-nineteenth to the middle of the twentieth centuries. The introduction of new energy sources to the Black Hills spurred the expansion of European Americans into the region, while helping to displace native peoples like the Lakotas. Changing energy use also intensified ranch labor in the pastures and in the household, drawing individual ranches into new connections with their surroundings. Examining cattle ranching through the lens of energy provides new insights into the momentum of energetic systems in societies, affording historians a way to understand past energy use as they consider present and future environmental concerns
