Title: Cream Liqueur

Date: 11/11/2014- 18/11/2014- 25/11/2014

Group: Michael McHugh and Adrian O ' Neill

Aim: To determine the correct proportion of ingredients to make cream liqueur using research and to investigate its properties with a microscope and viscosity using a brookfield viscometer.

Introduction:
A liqueur is an alcoholic drink made from a distilled spirit that has been flavoured with fruit, cream, herbs, spices, flowers or nuts and bottled with added sugar or other sweetener (such as high-fructose corn syrup). Liqueurs are typically quite sweet; they are usually not aged for long after the ingredients are mixed, but may have resting periods during their production to allow flavours to marry.

Cream liqueurs are an emulsion of …show more content…

Heat is required to ensure full dissolution. 20ml of cream is added and mixed at high speed in a blender at 55°c. 20g of sugar, 20ml of ethanol are mixed together with 35ml of water. This is added to the cream mixture and blended at high speed

Experiment 2: 12.75ml of Tween 80 is dissolved into a solution containing 8.5g of trisodium citrate. Heat is required to ensure full dissolution. 60ml of cream is added and mixed at high speed in a blender at 55°c. 50g of sugar, 50ml of ethanol are mixed together with 68.75ml of water. This is added to the cream mixture and blended at high speed.

Experiment 3: 7.5g is dissolved into a solution containing 5g of trisodium citrate. Heat is required to ensure full dissolution. 37.5 ml of cream is added and mixed at high speed in a blender at 55°c. 37.5 of sugar, 37.5 ml of ethanol are mixed together with 125 ml of water. This is added to the cream mixture and blended at high …show more content…

Cream liqueur is also made composes of several other added ingredients which may include sugar, full fat milk powder, non-fat milk solids, sugar, flavourings, colouring, preservatives and a thickening agent such as sodium caseinate, which also acts as a stabilizer to prevent the cream and alcohol from separating. The addition of trisodium citrate is to further improve stability

Range of composition of a standard cream liqueur
Component Composition ( wt %)
Milk fat 12-16
Added sugar 15-20
Sodium Caseinate 2.6-3.5
Non- fat milk solids 1.0-3.5
Ethanol 14
Water 46-51

From research it 's proven that a number of problems can be encountered when using conventional agitators such as the blender used in the lab. (silverson.com, 2014)
• Long mixing times are required to completely wet out, disperse and/or dissolve the ingredients. • Sodium caseiante and milk powder are very cohesive and have a tendency to form a large mass which blenders cannot easily break down into a solution.
• Caseinates are difficult to dissolve and will rapidly increase in viscosity, especially if added directly to the cream.
• Agitators do not impart enough shear to form the stable pre-emulsion of low globule size required by the high pressure

In acidic aqueous solution, a buffer is formed by the dissociation of the acid: HA ⇄ H+ + A- Hence, when acid is added, the excess H+ reacts with the A- to form more HA, lowering the pH and minimising the effect of the addition of acid. When alkali is added, the OH- reacts with the dissociated H+ to form water, which reduces the effect of the alkali by restoring the pH to normal levels. Alka Seltzer acts as a buffer because the citrate ions in solution (C6H5O73-) are able to react with H+ when acid is added, to form citric acid, C6H8O7. This neutralises the acid, increasing the pH. The excess HCO3- ions also react with H+ to form CO2 and water, hence lowering the pH and reducing the acidity of the solution. The HCO3- ions also act as a buffer when alkali is added, because they react with OH- to create water and CO32- ions, increasing the pH and reducing the effect of the addiction of alkali.

The purpose of this experiment is to perform a two step reductive amination using o-vanillin with p-toluidine to synthesize an imine derivative. In this experiment, 0.386 g of o-vanillin and 0.276 g of p-toluidine were mixed into an Erlenmeyer flask. The o-vanillin turned from a green powder to orange layer as it mixed with p-toludine, which was originally a white solid. Ethanol was added as a solvent for this reaction. Sodium borohydride was added in slow portion as the reducing agent, dissolving the precipitate into a yellowish lime solution.

The lab started off by measuring critical materials for the lab: the mass of an an empty 100 mL beaker, mass of beaker and copper chloride together(52.30 g), and the mass of three iron nails(2.73 g). The goal of this experiment is to determine the number of moles of copper and iron that would be produced in the reaction of iron and copper(II) chloride, the ratio of moles of iron to moles of copper, and the percent yield of copper produced. 2.00 grams of copper(II) chloride was added in the beaker to mix with 15 mL of distilled water. Then, three dry nails are placed in the copper(II) chloride solution for approximately 25 minutes. The three nails have to be scraped clean by sandpaper to make the surface of the nail shiny; if the nails are not clean, then some unknown substances might accidentally mix into the reaction and cause variations of the result.

A milk-based, litmus broth tube is incubated and observed after 48 hours. Observations include lactose fermentation without gas as well as with gas, the reduction of litmus, casein protein coagulation and casein and protein hydrolysis. These characteristics were all determined based on the color of the solution and the production of a curd, the curds density and the production of a gas. To determine the density of the curd, the tube was slightly turned to see rather or not it was mobile or concentrated towards the bottom. 2.3 Carbohydrate Fermentation of Lactose, Sucrose and

The curdling process begins when an acid is added to the milk, causing, “the protein and fat that is normally suspended in the milk… to curdle…” (Suleiman, 2014).  Milk curds can be identified as the spoilage of milk, but can also be used to create multiple types of cheeses – ricotta, cheddar, and gouda.   After the process of curdling, one will come across whey, the water removed from the curds to produce cheese.

After obtaining an homogeneous mixture, the flask was placed in an ice bath during five minutes next to a graduated cylinder containing 5.0 mL of concentrated sulfuric acid. The temperature of the ice bath was recorded to be 1.1 °C. Likewise, a second graduated cylinder containing 1.8 mL of nitric acid and 2.5 mL of sulfuric acid was immersed in the cold ice bath to keep the three different solutions at the same temperature. Thereafter, the cold 5.0 mL of H2SO4 were added to the erlenmeyer flask containing the acetanilide solution, which remained in the cold water for approximately another 4 minutes.

The purpose of this laboratory experiment was to determine the genotypes and phenotypes of the three strains of Saccharomyces cerevisiae (A,B and C) in regards to their ability to synthesize leucine and uracil. Furthermore, to determine whether these genes comply with Mendel’s Second Law and assort independently. The purpose will be achieved by multiple processes such as replica plating and sporulation and chi square analysis of the data received. Amino acid, which are monomers of proteins, play central roles in both as building blocks of proteins, regulates gene expression and acts as intermediates in metabolism (Baldwin, 2003). Yeast, which provides insight into basic human biological processes, are ideal for studying genetics.

Acids are proton donors in chemical reactions which increase the number of hydrogen ions in a solution while bases are proton acceptors in reactions which reduce the number of hydrogen ions in a solution. Therefore, an acidic solution has more hydrogen ions than a basic solution; and basic solution has more hydroxide ions than an acidic solution. Acid substances taste sour. They have a pH lower than 7 and turns blue litmus paper into red. Meanwhile, bases are slippery and taste bitter.
