  • Cooking with Verjuice
    Cooking with Verjuice Tallagandra Hill Wines 1692 Murrumbateman Road Gundaroo NSW 2620 www.tallagandrahill.com.au Verjuice Verjuice is derived from the French for green juice, "vert jus". Historically it is found in French recipes from the Middle Ages .It was added as we would use lemon juice or vinegar today, as an acidulant adding sharpness to the flavour of food , sauces or a dressing. Think of Verjuice as a gentle acidulant. Its great advantage is adding acid without dominating flavours. It is like a lemon or wine vinegar but can be used in almost any application that these stronger flavours are used. Verjuice can be reduced to a syrup to replace wine or vinegar in the making of a hollandaise or beurre blanc to give a classic sauce another dimension, particularly when serving these sauces with seafood. It is a natural marriage of flavours. Tallagandra Hill Verjuice Made from unripened Shiraz grapes, the juice is stabilised and bottled without fermentation. Available in 375ml bottles from the Tallagandra Hill Cellar Door or by mail order.

  • Effect of Thermal Processing Time on the Physicochemical and Sensory
    International Journal of Environment, Agriculture and Biotechnology, 5(3) May-Jun, 2020 | Available: https://ijeab.com/ Effect of thermal Processing Time on the Physicochemical and Sensory Properties of Lebanese Tfayfiha Verjuice Variety Bayan El-kaderi1, Sami Tlais1, Ali Alkhatib2, and Rasha Hamdan1,3,* 1Lebanese International University, Nutrition and Food Sciences Department, P.O. Box: 5 Jeb-jenine Bekaa, Lebanon 2The International University of Beirut, Lebanon 3Lebanese University, Faculty of Science, Lebanon *Corresponding author Abstract— Verjuice is an unfermented, acidic, and sour-tasting juice abundant in beneficial bioactive compounds obtained from the mechanical pressing of unripe grapes. The effect of prolonged traditional thermal processing (for 0, 0.5, 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 hours) on the physicochemical properties of ‘Tfayfiha’ verjuice was investigated. Polyphenol content and antioxidant capacity increased reaching their maximum (8348.6 mg/L) at 4 hours and (77.30%) at 3 hours respectively; indicating that the ideal processing time to obtain a nutritious functional food ingredient with high bioactivity is between 3-4 hours. At 5 hours, verjuice had the lowest pH (1.09), lowest moisture content (26.94%), and thus the highest shelf-life, density (1.187 g/mL), soluble solids content (60.06°Brix), color intensity, and sensorial scores on the preference test. Caloric content was below detection limits (in all samples) and thus neglected. Verjuice boiled for 1 hour can be used as an excellent alternative to fresh lemon juice, where only 16.6% of the participants recognized the difference in taste between tabbouli made with fresh lemon juice and that made with verjuice boiled for 1 hour.

  • A Study of Medieval Mustard As Sauce & Seed
    (Photo: Mustard plant growing in a vineyard in California’s Napa Valley) A Study of Medieval Mustard as Sauce & Seed by Baroness Hannah Schreiber PROJECT GOAL Presented before you is a study of the use of different mustard seeds in the making of sauces based on period methods. Having never presented a competitive A&S entry before I was challenged with a topic and chose to review something that I was indeed curious of on my own. In my past experience making mustard, I had only used a combination of both the white and brown seeds since that’s what tasted best to me. The goal of this study is to present research on the uses of and differences between the three types of mustard seed — white, brown, and black. A Study of Medieval Mustard as Sauce & Seed by Baroness Hannah Schreiber TYPES OF MUSTARD There are over 40 varieties of mustard plant, only three of which are used for cooking purposes.1 These types of mustard seed are: black (Brassica nigra), brown (Brassica juncea), and white or “yellow” (Sinapis alba). 2 White, or what we now refer to as “yellow”, mustard seed is the most commonly used seed today.3 These are pale beige to tan in color — and, when ground turn bright yellow. They originated from the coastal areas of the Mediterranean and were introduced into Europe around 400-800. This appears White mustard seed (Sinapis alba) to be the “common variety” mustard plant which was grown for both feed and fertilizer.3 This variety of seed was said to be the first mustard used in food perparation.4 Black mustard originated in the Middle East and Asia Minor.
