Gas in solid (ie. sponge cake): _____
Liquid in liquid (ie. mayo): ______
Liquid in solid (ie. custard): _____

Gas in liquid (ie. whipped egg whites): Foam
Gas in solid (ie. sponge cake): Suspension
Liquid in liquid (ie. mayo): Emulsion
Liquid in solid (ie. custard): Gel
Solid in liquid (ie. gravy): Sol
Small particles (sugar, salt): _____ _____
Large particles (protein, cooked starch): _____ _____
Clumps of molecules (fat, uncooked starch): ______ (separates upon standing)
Small particles (sugar, salt): True solution Large particles (protein, cooked starch): Colloidal dispersion Clumps of molecules (fat, uncooked starch): Suspension
The degree of dispersion can be altered by applying ____ or _____.
Degree of dispersion can be changed by applying heat or beating.
The ________ is the line that forms between 2 immiscible liquids (oil and water).
immiscible: not forming a homogeneous mixture when added together.
Interface
Vegetables are slightly ____ with a relatively high pH. It is necessary to process them at a high temperature (>212 F) to destroy botulism.
Acidic
**A pressure cooker must be used to can _____ ____ vegetables because it reaches higher temperatures.
Low acid**
____ causes loss of color when vegetables are overcooked.
Acid
Heat causes the release of ___ (H ions), which then come into contact with _________ in chlorophyll and are removed. The removal of ______ causes chlorophyll to become **_________, which is dull, brown, or olive green. To prevent this, cook for a short time and remove lid to allow escape of volatile acids.
Heat causes the release of acid (H ions), which then come into contact with Magnesium in chlorophyll and are removed. The removal of Magnesium causes chlorophyll to become **pheophytin, which is dull, brown, or olive green.
If ______ _____ (alkaline) is added, chlorophyll–> _________**, which produces a bright green color.
Water-soluble vitamins are lost in an alkaline solution.
If baking soda (alkaline) is added, chlorophyll–> **Chlorophyllin, which produces a bright green color.
**Cream of tartar produces _______ pH.
**Cream of tartar produces acidic pH.
In angel food cake, cream of tartar (acid) maintains white color by preventing ______ ______, _____ _____ by stabilizing egg white foam, and ______.
In absence of cream of tartar, angel food cake would be yellow, small, and tough.
In angel food cake, cream of tartar (acid) maintains white color by preventing Maillard browning, large volume by stabilizing egg white foam, and tenderness.
In absence of cream of tartar, angel food cake would be yellow, small, and tough.
**All enzymes are _______, so their activity is affected by the TEMPERATURE and PH.
**All enzymes are PROTEINS.
In the ripening of fruit, enzymes convert ____ to ____. Acid will lower pH and inhibit enzyme activity.
Starch–>sugars
Vegetables may be _________ (immersed in boiling and then cold water) before freezing to destroy enzymes that may alter flavor and texture.
Blanched
_______ ______ causes browning of cut surfaces.
Enzymatic browning/oxidation
The ________ ______ is a non-enzymatic browning reaction. Sugar is heated and caramelizes–>brown colored product.
Maillard reaction
The initial step of the Maillard reaction is a combination of a _____ ______ and an ____ _____.
Initial step in Maillard reaction is combo of reducing sugar and amino acid.
**An _______ in pH (alkalinity) causes more rapid browning.
**Increase in pH (alkalinity) causes more rapid browning.
Acid-Prevents browning
Alkaline-Encourages browning
This type of heat transfer moves heat from one particle to another by direct contact.
Conduction
Good conductors: copper, black cast iron, aluminum
Bad conductors: glass, stainless steel
This type of heat transfer moves heated air from one place to another with a fan.
Transfer of heat by circulation of hot air.
Convection
Transfer of heat by use of electrical magnetic vibrations that excite molecules of metal cooking surfaces.
NO open flame, NO hot burner surface.
The pan itself is the generator of heat - molecules in the pan are activated, producing heat that cooks food.
Induction
This type of heat transfer involves infrared waves from glowing heat sources.
ie. charcoal, electrical element, toasting
Radiation
