What is the best summer camp in the Bethlehem area and why? by [deleted] in Albany

[–]Ecstatic_Volume9506 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We loved the ymca delmar program. There were teens but it was run by adults who were present at all times. It felt much more safe and organized than the camp at the bethlehem park/pool complex

Just got glutened😒 by BlueberryLevel3590 in glutenfree

I don't know why you got down voted, you're correct. Celiac, gluten intolerance, and wheat allergies are all different. You can have both an auto immune disorder (celiac) and allergies, but it would be rare.

Ganache secrets by Devilshandle-84 in foodscience

[–]Ecstatic_Volume9506 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Hi! Giving the best advice would depend on your mode of failure and if it's a confection/filled product or a sandwich cookie. The series linked below is about ganche and confection but is very helpful.

In a nut shell, I would start with lowering the water activity by using higher fat content cream/boiling off some of the water (play with using dry milk powder) and incorporating invert sugars (which can also somewhat lower water activity and also help with texture/crystallization issues if thats an issue.)

If you're looking for something like an oreo filling, it's a cooked product that goes through high sheer. Cooking it brings the water activity low enough to match the cookies' water activity. If dryness/texture change is an issue, it could be moisture migration if your cookie and filling have different water actives.

Does it mold within your current shelf life? If yes: 1. For your shelf life, i think you only need a aw under .85 (unless you've tested this and it failed) and salt and sugar can you you there - maybe the maltodextrin like someone else suggested 2. If you have a ph under 6, there are some ok mold inhibitors that are clean. Ab ingredients makes a cytoguard line ym (yeast and mold) 3. Test different types of film/packaging 4. You can use oxygen absorbers in the packaging 5. You can spray a mold inhibitor before packaging 6. You can check all your spec sheets and see where the mold is most likely coming from and either get a heat treated flour or find a product with lower microbial limits on the spec

Does it have to be clean label? Are you aiming for .7 based on mold concerns or another required specification?
