Effect of long-term heat exposure on rheological and intrinsic water characteristics of bone-derived beef stocks.

Bone-derived protein stocks are used in food industry to enhance taste of soups, sauces, and a range of other products. Both during commercial manufacturing and when used for culinary purposes, the stocks may be exposed to high temperatures for an extended time period. The present study investigated the effect of retention at 90°C for 0, 3, 6, 9, 24, 48, 72, and 168 hr on the functional attributes of concentrated bone-derived beef stocks (57% Dry matter (DM)).
