to give blue color: positive of pentoses

19
Q

Dehydrated ketose reacts with resorcinol to produce

A

cherry red color (Seliwanoff’s Test)

20
Q

Principle of Phenol-Sulfuric Acid Method

A

Carbohydrate treated with strong acid/heat form furan derivatives

21
Q

Benedict’s Test (reducing sugars)

A

Alkaline solutions of copper are reduced by sugars having free aldehyde or ketone group

22
Q

Seliwanoff’s Test distinguishes between

A

Aldose and ketose sugars

23
Q

When heated ketoses dehydrate

A

more rapidly than aldoses

24
Q

Examples of ketose monosaccharides

A

Dihydroxyacetone
Erythrulose
Ribulose
Fructose

25
Q

Examples of aldose monosaccharides

A

Glyceraldehyde
Erythrose
Ribose
Xylose
Glucose
Mannose
Galactose

26
Q

Barfoed’s test is used for

A

detecting the presence of reducing monosaccharides

27
Q

Barfoed’s Test is based on the

A

reduction of copper (II) acetate to copper (I) oxide (Cu2O) (brick red)

28
Q

In got acidic medium starch is _______ and dehydrated to _____

A

hydrolyzed to glucose; hydroxymethyl furfural

29
Q

Methods for total reducing sugar

A

Somogyi-Nelson
Munson-Walker
Lane-Eynon

30
Q

Principle for total reducing sugar

A

Sugars with aldehyde group act as reducing agents - they reduce Cu2+ to Cu+

31
Q

Starch contain what two polysaccharides

A

Amylose (linear) and Amylopectin (branched)

32
Q

Most starches contain

A

15 - 35 % amylose

33
Q

Amylose are linked together by

A

alpha 1,4 linkage

34
Q

Amylopectin are linked together by

A

alpha 1,4 and alpha 1,6 linkage

35
Q

Amylose is _____ in water, while amylopectin is ______

A

soluble; insoluble

36
Q

Amylose gives what reaction in iodine solution vs amylopectin

A

Blue color vs no reaction

37
Q

Give rise to; Amylose vs Amylopectin

A

Gel formation vs Thickened preparation

38
Q

Starch usually contain more

A

amylopectin than amylose

39
Q

Starch Gelatinization: Heat causes

A

1) Water absorption by amyloplasts

2) Rupturing of the amyloplasts

3) Starch network formed

4) Hydrated network with water pockets

5) Gelatinization

40
Q

Factors influencing gelatinization

A

+ Types of starch
+ Water
+ Temperature
+ Stirring
+ Addition of other ingredients

41
Q

Starch Dextrinization

A

Starch and dry heat

42
Q

Starch –> Dextrin; which provides

A

flavor, color, and aroma

43
Q

Gel formation: Upon cooling

A

the realignment of starch molecules with water being squeezed out
