Macaron Properties Research Project
In Spring 2021, I took 2.671-Measurement and Instrumentation. In it, I proposed a research project and executed it over a semester. My research question was “how does the batter rest time affect the material properties of a macaron meringue?” To explore this question, I measured the macarons’ change in area before and after baking, the shell height, puncture force (shell hardness), pullout force (chewiness), and moisture loss. Below is my final poster and paper.
