9 Flashcards
(39 cards)
nutrition: FAT CONTAINS
fat: 9kcal/g
essential f.a (definition):
___ : vit
for which organs
- cannot produce them oruselves, get from food
- linoleic (omg6) vs linolenic (omg3)
- antioxidants: vit E & C
- for brain nerve retinal cell; also impact eye health
classification- 3
can be either @ roomp temp
which has double bond?
sat = no DOUBLE BOND; solid @ roomp temp
monounsat: at least one; liquid
cis H atoms on same side; trans OPP
id test to find the unsat degree of fat
= iodine values
sat fat’d take no idoine while polyunsat fat will take lots
qualities:
______
f.a attract
- if symmetrical & _______, crystals
polymorphic = can take on many forms
_____ van der waal forces to bond crystal as it cools
& similar C length, form more crystals
3 main forms of crystals: __ & ____ & ____
het vs homo (all 3 f.a chains in glycerol backbone all =)
give an e.g
e.g milk fat vs lard
forms: alpha, beta, beta-prime to determine which fat work best in specific food
het (diff) yield more beta prime crystal
e.g in milk at when makign forsting -> creamy txture
homo: mroe beta crystals i.e in lard
melting point depends on___
influenced by type of fat
assym fat have lower MP
strength of bonding forces btw f.a: < attraction, easier to crystalise -> higher MP
- (l) fat have lower mP vs (s): longer chain; higher MP
- cis fat has more kinks -> less energ to melt vs sat fat highrr MP
smoke point =
depends on what?
higher SP
temp @ which smoke comes form fat surface when heated
- depends on thermal stability when contact air
- depends on ease of glycerol hydrolysis & # of free glycerol:
higher SP _> better for high temp COOKING i.e baking
what happens in heating of fat & smoke?
due to excess heating & smoke, free glycerol demp to H20 + acrolein
compare flash point vs fire point
flash point = temp of volatines being ignited; cannot sustain combust
fire point = ___sustaining combus
oil once heated reach SMOKE point 0-> FLASH point -> Fire point
plasticity =
like
= when it doesnt change shape permanently til stress or force applied
like solid fat, beta prime crystals in het fat
if compsoed of liquid & crystal, flexible
bt the small combo of (l) & (s) allow fat to flex
general abt refining:
remove the phospholipid, carb protein water
start w/ crude oil,
wannt oxidative stable (so not susceptible to rancidity), provide nutr w/ function aspect
…..bt keep essential f.a, antioxidants, vit
additives to protect quality in prolong storage?
3f parta
lecithin as emulsifier
citric acid (metal chelating) to inhibit oxidation
polyclyerol ester: to inhibit crystalisation
rendering
extract fat from lve stock by melting down or reprocessing meat bone / animal byproduct
via heat or steam
is the result of rendering cattle & sheep
- deoderise (doesnt impac the taste) vs udeo (to enhance food flavour)
there is edible and indedible tallwo (or yellow grease) -> make bioful, soap & detergent
what is so good abt marine oil?
typically long polyunsat fat
high in vit D & A, susceptible to oxidation
source of EPA & DHA
which fat has 4 fat crystals?
most fat are in small_____
milk fat- alpha, beta, beta prime 1 & 2
most fat’re in smal globulel, surrounded by protein ^ phospholipid bilayer membrane
what is butter
a phase invert
cream oil in water emulsion -> agitated -> form butter as water in oil emulsion
smaller crystal -> harder butter
winter butter harder than spring bcs seasonal cattle feed
compare hydrolytic vs oxidative randicity?
hydrolytic: what are the catalysts?
hydrolytic: hydrolyzing f.a from glycerol backbone, make free f.a needs H20
w/ heat & lipase as catalysts + H20, release free f.a w. no OFF odour & taste unless short chain f.a
oxidative: has an OFF flavour & taste; w/ O exposure, in heat or light
processing: first 3-
third is neutralise
- settle: separate crude oil from phospholipid, carb protein fat
- degum: remove the gum -> which can darken
- neutralise: remove free F.A w/ NaOH & residual phospholipid
=> leftover can be used to make soap
processing: second 3-
bleach / ____ / distill steam related
bleach: the chlorophyll
winterisation or dewax: filter f.a -> improve the clarity
oil can look cloudier depending on trigly: bcs some molec has higher MP, crystalize -> filter
deodourisation: distill steam w/ low P to remove voltaile comp; which can vaporise
add H+ til sat
can increase the
hydrogenation:
take (l) fat turn int into solid or plastic
=> < thermal and oxidative staibility
=> for shortening
why is partial hydrogenation bad?
create trans f.a NOT ALLOWED
H2 bubbled through (l) oil in the presence w/ nickel catalyst -> trad hydrogenation
interesterification
diff btw inter vs intra?
add f.a or rearrange glycerol backbone -> create new trig
bronds broken on f.a & reesterified on = glycerol (intra) or diff (inter)
how to reduce trans f.a by 50%
low temp
high P
catalyst
