Table 5. Some Illustrative Examples of the Use of the Classification Schema of This.

food This classification description
cream (O + S)/W suspension of liquid and solid fat particles in an aqueous solution
whipped cream G/[(O + S)/W] gas bubbles trapped in a suspension of liquid and solid fat particles in an aqueous solution
egg custard (G + O + S)/W liquid fat drops, solid particles (from cooked proteins), and gas bubbles (from air trapped during beating of the custard) all suspended in an aqueous solution
sponge cake G/S air bubbles in a solid matrix
egg yolks (S/W)@9 nine concentric layers each made up of solids suspended in an aqueous solution; the example illustrates how the classification can be used to provide information about inclusions within the various phases
specific emulsion O100/W10 emulsion of 100 g of oil in 10 g of water; the example illustrates how the classification can be made quantitative
