Example 3
Unsorted, dried and particulated bakery residual was mixed with rheology modifiers, retrogradation preventing agents, preservatives and salt until obtaining a homogenous mixture, according to the composition shown in Table 3A. The mixture was placed in a mixing bowl in a warm water bath (˜90° C.), and water was added gradually under mixing conditions for at least 10 minutes, until the temperature of the composition reached about 60° C. The playdough was then kneaded for at least 5 minutes, and then left to cool to room temperature, covered. Representative pictures of the playdough on this Example are shown in
As can be seen, while the complex viscosity of Compositions 4-8 is somewhat higher than, the compositions showed pseudoplastic behavior similar to those of the Reference commercial product, with very similar sensorial properties compared to the Reference commercial product.
