Q

Why does water activity need to be controlled?

A

Microorganisms such as bacteria, mold and yeast multiply at high Aw. Preservation techniques against spoilage due to these m.o. take into account the water activity of the food. Sugar and salt are both effective preservatives, as they decrease Aw. Salt decreases Aw even more effectively than sugar due to its chemical structure that ionizes and attracts water.

What is the bran?
A technological term for the outer part of a kernel, including fruit wall, seed coat and the aleurone layer, which is really a part of the endosperm but that ends up with the bran in cereal processing
26
The bran is rich in...
Cellulose, beta-glucan and arabinoxylan which are dietary fibers from the cell walls. Lipids, pigments, metabolic proteins, sugars, minerals, vitamins B & E, phytochemicals (polyphenols)
27
The endosperm is rich in...
Starch granules encapsulated in a storage protein matrix
28
Whole grain consumption is associated with decreased risk of:
Cardiovascular disease - Diabetes - Weight gain - Colon cancer - Inflammatory related diseases
29
A large consumption of plant foods decreases the risk of
Metabolic syndrome
30
What is the metabolic syndrome?

32
What are examples of non-starch polysaccharides?
Cellulose, betaglucan, arabinoxylan, fructan, pectin
33
What is gelatinization?
Raw starch is crystalline and not soluble in water. When starch granules are cooked in water, granules swell. Hydrogen bonds within the starch molecules are broken, molecular order is disrupted. Starch forms hydrogen bonds with water. As hydrogen bonds are formed, water is able to penetrate further into the starch granule, which swell more. Amylose leaches out. Swollen granules take up more space and the mixture thickens as the enlarged granules leach amylose (and possibly amylopectin)
34
What is retrogradation?
Starch reassociates to a more ordered, crystalline structure upon cooling. More likely to occur in a high amylose starch. Water is lost.
35
What is RS1, resistant starch type 1?
Starch granules that are physically inaccessible to enzymes ex. enclosed in cell walls.
36
What is RS2, resistant starch type 2?
Starch granules in natural, granular form
37
What is RS3, resistant starch type 3?
Gelatinized starch granules, cooked and cooled. Starch becomes retrograded & less accessible to enzymes
38
What is RS4, resistant starch type 4?
Starches that have been chemically modified to resist digestion and does not retrograde. Not found in nature.

Asparagine + reducing sugars (high temp)-> acrylamide (CH2=CH-CONH2)
47
What is maltodextrin?
Intermediate length polymers of D-glucose formed from the hydrolysis of starches such as tapioca, potato and wheat. Maltodextrins simulate the viscosity and mouthfeel of fats/oils and are used to reduce the fat content of some foods.
48
What is a gel?
Elastic solid formed upon cooling of a gelatinized starch paste; a two-phase system that contains a solid continuous phase and a liquid dispersed phase.
49
What is viscosity?
Resistance to flow of a liquid when force is applied. A measure of how easily a liquid will flow. Thin liquids have a low viscosity. Thick liquids or gels have a high viscosity and flow slowly.
50
What are pectic substances?
Linear polymers of D-galacturonic acid joined by alfa-1-4 glycosidic linkages. Some COOH are esterified with methanol. Important constituents of plant tissue found mainly in the cell wall.
51
What are the three categories of pectic substances?
- Protopectin, found in immature fruits. Insoluble in water. Cannot form gels. High molecular weight. - Pectinic acid, formed by enzymatic hydrolysis of protopectin as a fruit ripens. High-molecular weight pectinic acids are known as pectins. - Pectic acid, shorter-chain derivative of pectinic acid that is formed as a fruit overripens. Incapable of gel formation.
52
What are gums?
Complex hydrophilic carbohydrates containing 1000's of monosaccharide units, of which Galactose is the most common. Most gums are unable to form gels due to a highly branched structure. However, they are able to trap or bind large amounts of water within their branches. Aqueous dispersions therefore tend to be very viscous, because the molecules become entangled.
53
What is malt?
The barley grain is soaked and sprouted. When it sprouts it produces an enzyme that hydrolyzes starch to a shorter carbon chain, maltose. Maltose is a fermentable carbohydrate that is used to feed yeast and produce Co2 and alcohol in bread and liquor making.
54
What is gluten?
Protein substances left in the flour after the starch has been removed, which when hydrated and kneaded produce the elastic, cohesive structure of dough.
55
What are the four pigment classes found in plants?
Chlorophyll (green), carotenoids (yellow, red, orange), anthocyanin (red, blue, purple), anthoxanthin (white)
56
Properties of chlorophyll
Fat-soluble, porphyrin ring with Mg at the center, found in chloroplasts. If Mg is removed by prolonged storage, cooking etc, chlorophyll loses colour.
57
What are the two types of carotenoids?
Carotenes and xanthophylls
58
Properties of carotenoids
Fat-soluble, found in chloroplasts and chromoplasts, found mostly in flowers, fruits and roots, conjugated double bonds are responsible for the colour, more conjugated double bonds = deeper colour.
59
Properties of anthocyanin
Differs from anthoxanthin in its positively charged oxygen, water-soluble, found in cell sap, colour affected by pH (turns turquoise in alkaline conditions)
60
Properties of anthoxanthin
White or pale yellowish, water-soluble, found in cell sap, turns brownish grey from prolonged heat.
61
What are tannins?
Polyphenolic compounds that add both colour and astringent flavour. Range in colour from pale yellow to light brown. Tannins in wine & teas contain antioxidant properties correlated with good health.
62
What is the difference between climacteric and non-climacteric fruits?
Climacteric ripens AFTER harvesting (avocado, banana, tomato) Non-climacteric ripens BEFORE harvesting (cherry, citrus, strawberry)
63
What happens in ripening?
- Chlorophyll degradation reveals carotenoid pigments - Sugar increases - Acid decreases - Ethylene gas produced stimulates further ripening, ex softening of plant cell wall.
64
What is enzymatic oxidative browning?
Discoloration of some fruits or vegetables when bruised or cut due to reaction between phenolic compounds and enzymes when exposed to oxygen
65
How can unwanted enzymatic oxidative browning be prevented?
- Avoiding contact between substrate and oxygen - Covering with film wrap or sugar syrup - Application of citric acid powder to the cut surface means the citric acid is oxidized instead of the pigment. Acidic pH also inhibits enzymatic action. - Blanching destroys polyphenol oxidase enzyme, enabling long freezer storage
66
What happens to water retention in a plant cell when it is cooked?
Cell membranes lose selective permeability, allowing movement of sugars, some nutrients and water. Diffusion and osmosis occurs as substances move, and the plant cell loses form, water and turgor.
67
What affects the nutritive value of cooked fruits and vegetables?

Flavour compounds in the genus allium that contain sulfur compounds and offer phytochemical value
72
What is brassica?
Flavour compound of Brassica genus including cruciferous vegetables with sulfur compounds
73
In a solution at pH 7, all amino acids are...
Zwitterions - amino group and carboxylic group are both ionized and exist as COO- and NH3+. Therefore, amino acids are amphoteric
74
What does it mean that a compound is amphoteric?
That it can behave as an acid or as a base in water depending on the pH
75
How do proteins behave at pI (isoelectric point)?
They usually precipitate, like in cottage cheese where acid is added to bring the pH to pI for the major milk proteins (casein)
76
What is denaturation?
The protein unfolds, but there is no change in amino acid sequence (primary structure)
77
What can cause denaturation?
Heat - pH change - ionic strength (salt conc.) - freezing - surface change
78
what are examples of desirable denaturation?
- heating of beaten egg whites to produce meringues - cottage cheese - inactivating enzymes by blanching before freezing
79
what are examples of undesirable denaturation?
frozen eggyolks are lumpy when thawed because lipoproteins denature and aggregate - overheating can cause denaturation
80
what happens when a protein is hydrolyzed?
peptide bonds are broken to form smaller peptide chains | caused by acid or proteolytic enzymes
81
how can proteolytic enzymes be used in food production?
- ficin, papain & bromelain are used as meat tenderers - too much hydrolysis would make the meat "mushy" - rennet hydrolyzes a specific peptide bond in milk, causing milk proteins to aggregate
82
Maillard browning is the reaction responsible for?
the browning of baked products. A free carbonyl group of a reducing sugar reacts with a free amino group on a protein when heated. Affects flavour and colour. Reaction causes loss of lysine, arginine, tryptophan and histidine, as they have free amino groups able to react with reducing sugars. All except arginine are essential.
83
what are high quality proteins?
those that are readily digestible and contain the dietary essential amino acids in quantities that respond to human requirements
84
what is an amphiphilic molecule?
one that contains both hydrophilic and hydrophobic sections
85
what is a functional property?
a characteristic of a molecule that enables it to perform a specific role in a food, ex. solubility, thickening, binding, gelation, foaming, emulsifying (for proteins)
86
what is salting-in?
addition of a dilute salt solution to improve the dispersibility of a protein
87
what is salting-out?
addition of a concentrated salt solution to precipitate a protein
88
the water-binding capacity of a protein depends on...
the number of charged an polar groups along the protein chain
89
meat is composed of what major 3 parts?
muscle, connective tissue and fat
90
what are the three primary types of proteins in meat?
- myofibril proteins make up the muscle bundles - stromal proteins (connective tissue proteins): collagen, elastin, reticulin - sarcoplasmic proteins: pigments & enzymes (hemoglobin, myoglobin)
91
muscle contraction starts when..
a nerve impulse causes release of calcium ions from the sarcoplasmic reticulum into the sarcoplasm, a jelly-like substance surrounding the myofibrils. Calcium ions bind to actin, enabling reaction with myosin. ATP is needed as energy source for both relaxation and contraction.
92
why does rigor mortis happen?
this stiffening is due to loss of extensibility by the myofibril proteins actin and myosin, once energy reserves are depleted. Meat cooked while in rigor mortis is extremely tough.
93
what happens in aging/conditioning of meat?
enzymatic breakdown of proteins that hold muscle fibers together. Allows muscles to relax and become soft.
94
what is the biological action behind rigor mortis?
animal is killed - aerobic respiration ceases, blood flow stops - no oxygen supplied to muscle - anaerobic glycolysis continues - lactic acid formed - pH decreases - at pH 5,5 glycolysis enzymes denature - ATP supply depleted quickly - lack of ATP means calcium is not pumped out - actin & myosin bind irreversibly forming actomyosin cross-links - muscle becomes rigid
95
what is the "ultimate pH"?
the pH that is reached when glycolysis ceases, ~5,5. Low ultimate pH inhibits microbial growth and is desired. High ultimate pH binds more water, but has poor m.o. resistance
96
how does the rate of change of pH affect the quality of meat?
rapid pH change while the temperature is still high causes considerable denaturation of contractile and/or sarcoplasmic proteins and loss of water-holding capacity. Lysozomal proteins are released at high temp, these cause hydrolysis of proteins. This might happen if the carcass is not cooled rapidly after slaughter.
97
meat aging occurs as...
muscles become tender due to protein & actomyosin breakdown. A protease which is active at around pH 5,5 breaks down the thin myofilaments at the Z-lines. Sarcoplasmic proteins denature and myofibrils denature somewhat, resulting in loss of water-holding capacity. Collagen and elastin do not denature significantly during aging.
98
aging of meat is achieved by
hanging the carcass in 2 degrees celsius for 1-4 weeks. Pork and lamb do not require aging since they are young at slaughter.
99
meat appears as red or white depending upon...
the predominant pigment and its concentration in the meat. The 2 major pigments in meat are myoglobin and hemoglobin
100
myoglobin is present in...
frequently exercised portions of the animal that expend great amounts of oxygen like chicken legs. more myoglobin in: cows than pigs, older sheep than lambs, bulls than cows.
101
what is the function of myoglobin?
stores oxygen in the muscles
102
what is the function of hemoglobin?
carries oxygen in the bloodstream
103
what causes undesirable brownish-red coloured meat?
when myoglobin is exposed to oxygen, bright red oxygenated oxymyoglobin is produced. Oxidation of oxymyoglobin or myoglobin results in metmyoglobin.
104
what are the effects of cooking on collagen?
hydrogen bonds and heat-sensitive crosslinks are broken. some of the tough-structured collagen is then solubilized and converted to gelatin. faster at higher temp.
105
why is nitrite added to processed meat?
to preserve colour and inhibit Clostridium botulinum
106
why is fish softer and flakier than mammals or poultry?
because muscle fibers exist as short bundles. Also contains less connective tissue, and more of it converts to gelatin during cooking.
107
what are legumes?
the seeds of a pod of the Leguminosae family.
108
how is legume protein affected by cooking?
the protein is coagulated and its availability is higher following cooking.
109
what is tofu?
soy milk that has been coagulated to make the gel
110
what is quorn?
a fungus "mycoprotein" produced by fusarium venenatum
111
at what temperature is salmonella killed?
72 degrees celsius for 16 s or 62 degrees celsius for 30 min. Cook poultry to 74 degrees celsius.
112
at what temperature is the parasite trichinella spiralis killed?
68 degrees celsius. Cook pork to 68 degrees.
113
what is endomysium?
connective tissue layer that surrounds individual muscle fibers.
114
what is epimysium?
connective tissue layer that surrounds an entire muscle
115
what is perimysium?
connective tissue layer that surrounds muscle bundles
116
what are the contents of egg yolk?
all of the egg's cholesterol - almost all of the egg's fat - contains all known vitamins except vitamin C - triglycerides, phospholipids (primarily phosphatidyl choline/lecithine), sterols (ex. cholesterol) - 40 % of the egg's protein - pigments (mainly xanthophylls, carotene, lycopene) from the hen's feed
117
what are the contents of egg white?
60 % of the egg's protein - riboflavin, niacin, biotin - magnesium, potassium
118
what are the contents of the egg shell?
94 % CaCO3 - 1 % MgCO3 - 1 % CaPO4 - 4 % organic matrix
119
egg shell colour depends on...
the breed of hen - has no known effect on flavour/quality
120
the yolk colour depends on...
the feed given to the hen
121
what happens with an egg as it ages?
contents inside the shell shrink and the air cell enlarges due to water loss - the yolk flattens as the vitelline membrane thins - pH rises from 7,6 to 9,6 allowing bacterial growth
122
what is candling?
a technique that allows a view of the shell and inside of eggs without breaking the shell - scanning with bright light
123
how can eggs act as binders?
eggs are viscous and coagulate, therefore they bind ingredients like in meatloaf, and they bind breading
124
how can eggs act as clarifying agent?
raw egg whites coagulate around foreign particles in a hot liquid. ex. clarifying soups, bringing stray material to the surface for removal
125
how can eggs act as emulsifiers?
egg yolks contain phospholipid emulsifiers, including lecithin. Emulsifiers allow two ordinarily immiscible liquids, such as oil and water to mix
126
how can eggs act as foaming, leavening agent
egg whites increase 6-8 times in volume when beaten to a foam. as the egg white foam is heated, the protein coagulates around air cells, maintaining a stable foam structure.
127
how can eggs act as gel?
a two-phase system of liquids in solids forms as eggs coagulate, forming a gel in custards.
128
how can eggs act as thickening agent?
eggs coagulate and thicken mixtures such as custards and hollandaise sauce
129
what is the air cell?
the empty space formed at the large end of the egg. holds oxygen. doesn't exist initially. becomes large by age, cooling, moisture loss. can result in microbial spoilage due to oxygen supply.
130
why should eggs be packed with the large end up?
air movement from ar cell to yolk is minimized
131
what happens when an egg denatures?
proteins unfold and align in parallell fashion, forming intermolecular bonds, protein chains shrink. the egg becomes opaque when light cannot pass through the protein mass.
132
what happens when an egg coagulates?
the liquid/fluid egg is converted into a solid state (gel). water escapes from the structure as unfolded helices attach to each other. affected by heat, beating, pH, sugar, salt
133
why can yolk sometimes turn green?
occurs with long, high heat exposure. formation of ferrous sulfide from sulfur in egg protein and iron from the yolk.
134
what are the three components giving egg whites natural protection from bacteria?
avidin: binds biotin required for some m.o. growth lysozyme: hydrolyzes cell walls of some bacteria conalbumin: binds with the iron of the yolk, preventing growth of m.o. that require iron
135
what is curdling?
protein precipitates, releases water and becomes tough
136
how much of milk is water?
87-88 %
137
what is the primary carbohydrate of milk?
the disaccharide lactose. carbohydrates constitute about 5 % or less of milk.
138
what happens with lactose as cheese ages?
it is converted to lactic acid. aged cheese may be digestible by lactose intolerant persons.
139
what is the fat content of whole milk?
3.5 %
140
what pigments are found in milk fat?
carotene and xanthophyll
141
what is the protein content of milk?
3-4 %
142
what are the primary proteins of milk?
caseins, about 80 % of milk protein. Alpha-s, beta and kappa caseins.
143
what separates the different casein types?
alpha-s and beta contain several phosphate groups esterified to serine. these are calcium-sensitive and may be coagulated by addition of calcium. kappa-casein has only 1 phosphate-group and is not calcium-sensitive. alpha-s and beta are very hydrophobic. kappa-casein is a glycoprotein containing an acidic carbohydrate section and so is much more hydrophilic.
144
what are casein micelles?
casein fractions associate with each other and with colloidal calcium phosphate to form casein micelles. alpha-s and beta casein are mostly in the micelle's interior, kappa casein on the outside. Carbohydrate "hairs" protrude from the micelle, and give steric hindrance.
145
how are casein micelles coagulated?
by addition of acid at a pH 4,6-5,2. as micelles approach pI, charge and extent of hydration is reduced, micelles are no longer stable. K-casein carbohydrate "hairs" flatten, reducing steric hindrance. Acid also causes some calcium to be removed from the micelles. They then coagulate
146
what is the action of rennin?
the enzyme rennin cleaves a specific bond in K-casein, causing the charged, hydrophilic "hairs" to be removed from the micelle. The now uncharged, hydrophobic, unstable micelles aggregate to form curds. Curds may be separated from whey and made into cheese!. Does not cause removal of calcium from micelles.
147
how are casein micelles affected by heat?
relatively stable, are not denatured by heat at neutral pH unless temperatures are very high and heating is prolonged.
148
what is whey/serum?
the second protein fraction of milk, makes up about 20 % of milk protein. includes lactalbumins and lactoglobulins. whey proteins are more hydrated than casein and are denatured and precipitated by heat rather than by acid.
149
what vitamins are contained in the nonfat portion of milk?
B1(thiamin), B2(riboflavin), B3(niacin), B5 (panthothenic acid), B6 (pyridoxine), B12(cobalamine), vitamin C and folate
150
what vitamins are found in milk fat?
vitamin A, D (small amounts), E and K (minor amounts)
151
what minerals are found in milk?
calcium 1/3 in solution, 2/3 colloidaly dispersed. Phosphorus, Cl, Mg, K, Na, S
152
shelf life of properly refrigerated milk..
14 days
153
what can cause off-flavours in milk?
excessive pasteurization temp - certain animal feed ex wild onions, lipase activity causing rancidity of fat unless destroyed by pasteurization - oxidation of fat or phospholipids by enzymes - light-induced flavour changes in proteins and riboflavin because riboflavin acts as a photosynthesizer - stage of lactation of the cow
154
how is milk affected by pasteurization?
destruction of pathogenic bacteria, yeasts and molds as well as 95-99% of nonpathogenic bacteria - vitamin destruction and protein denaturation are minimal
155
how can adequate pasteurization of milk be confirmed?
absence of the enzyme alkaline phosphatase which is destroyed at temperatures and times required for adequate pasteurization. If substrate is added, milk turns blue if there is enzyme activity. otherwise, milk stays white.

192
Why is low lipoxygenase activity desirable in pasta?
Lipoxygenase degrades carotenoids which leads to loss of colour and affected flavour
193
How is pasta dough made?
Flour is mixed with water (35-45 C) at a ratio of 3:1. The dough is extruded and the extruder die determines the shape of the pasta

Vitamin E increases lipid stability and improves colour. Physical activity affects muscle type and metabolism. Breed, halothane and ryanodine genes in pork. CO2 or electrical stunning method.
251
What is PSE meat? How is it formed?
Pale, soft, exudative meat. Depends on fast pH decrease, can reach 5,5 in 45 minutes while the carcass is still warm. Will cause denaturation of muscle proteins which makes meat paler. Pigs more often affected. Carriers of the halothane gene are especially sensitive. WHC low -> soggy meat. Depends on unusually quick breakdown of glycogen into lactic acid.
252
What is DFD meat? How is it formed?

279
What happens in resting dough?
The dough relaxes into new gluten conformations.
280
What happens if salt is added before kneading?
Salt strengthens the interactions within the protein as it is, gluten can still be formed but needs more kneading.
281
What happens if salt is added after kneading?
It stabilizes the gluten network.
282
Why is rye so bad at making gluten?
Although rye contains more total protein than wheat, it is lower in prolamins and glutelins. A lot of arabinoxylan(fibre) in rye interferes with gluten formation by coating the proteins, decreasing interaction between them. Bran also interferes with gluten formation.

341
Problems vid processing concerning lactose
``` • Milk powder: Pure solubilisation due to high lactose content (37-50%) • Ice cream: Concentrated lactose forms crystals - gives sandy mouth feeling ```
342
Lactose intolerance
``` • lactose is not broken down to Glc + Gal by lactase • lactose can not be absorbed by the small intestine and ferments in the large intestine – Gas formation – Vomiting – Diarrhoea – Colic pain ```
343
Different types of lactose intolerance
• Congenital lactase deficiency: Rare condition that runs in families and is found in new-born babies • Primary lactase deficiency: Increasing age decreases the ability to synthesize lactase. The most common cause • Secondary lactase deficiency: shortage of lactase caused by a problem in the small intestine – Can occur at any age – Might be the result of another condition • Small intestine surgery • Taking certain medication
344
How is lactose free milk produced?
• Low lactose milk – less than 1 % lactose - Enzymatic hydrolyses with lactase • Lactose free milk drink – below 0,01 % lactose - Chromatography - Ultrafiltration Chromatography – size exclusion chromatography.

354
The texture of butter
• The texture is one of the most important quality parameters of the butter – spread-ability – mouth feeling – visual parameters • The texture is determined by the ratio between liquid and crystalline fat
355
Butter types
• Cultured butter - created by adding live bacteria cultures to the butter before it's churned • Richer in aroma compounds (diacetyl) • The cultures might help with digestion • Sensitive for oxidation • Regular butter - cream that just goes straight to the churning machine • Salted & extra salted butter - Historically preservative effects
356
The first 5 steps of buttermaking
1. Cream (35% fat) 2. Heat treatment (3-5 s, 85-90°C) – Enzymes, lipases and microorganisms are destroyed 3. Starter cultures are added - Alternatively, LAB flavour concentrates of are added to the butter kernels 4. Aging - Designed to give the fat the required crystalline structure (20 h if starters are added) 5. Churning - The cream is violently agitated to break down the MFG causing the fat to coagulate into butter grains
357
The last 5 steps of buttermaking
6. Separation - Thus the cream is split into two fractions: butter grains and buttermilk 7. Washing of butter grains (optional) - It used to be common practice to wash the butter after churning to remove any residual buttermilk and milk solids but this is rarely done today 8. Working end salting - Working is required to obtain a homogenous blend of butter granules, water and salt - During working, fat moves from globular to free fat - Water droplets decrease in size during working and should not be visible in properly worked butter 9. Packaging - The still warm butter is discharged into the packaging units 10. Cold storage - At least 1-3 days before distribution - Shelf life ca 12 weeks in refrigerator (+8°C) - Can be frozen (-20°C)

421
What is the action of rennet?
Chymosine cleaves the phe105-met106 bond of K-casein. GMP is cut off. Micelles aggregate as the result of changed hydrophilicity and loss of negative charge. Para-K-casein is left in the curd.
422
how is enzymatic coagulation affected by the milks temperature?
heated milk is better since denatured proteins in the heated milk help to form a more extensive protein network, resulting in cheese curds with a firmer texture
423
what is acid coagulation?
by lowering pH with lactic acid bacteria or acids pI is achieved, charges are neutralized and micelles aggregate. GMP is neutralized and folds in but is not cut off. syneresis is unwanted.
424
why heat-treat milk before acid treatment and fermentation?
conditions for starter cultures are improved as other bacteria are eliminated. 70-80% of whey proteins, mainly beta-lactoglobulin denature and aggregate with K-casein on the micelle surface. viscosity and stability of the final product is improved. thicker texture and reduced syneresis.
425

466
What does ascorbic acid contribute with in bread?
Ascorbic acid is usually reducing but is converted by an enzyme to dehydroascorbic acid which is oxidizing. It can then help to strengthen gluten by increasing the number of cystins. In addition, dehydroascorbic acid in an enzymatic oxidative reaction contributes to glutathione forming a dimer of glutathione. Glutathione is an antioxidant present in the flour that can react with the sulfur group on cysteine and thus prevent disulfide bonds between glutenins. In dimer form, it cannot react with cysteine on glutenins and prevent the formation of disulfide bonds. Ascorbic acid can therefore provide stronger gluten with more disulfide bonds between glutenins.
467
What is it that makes the amino acids proline, glutamine and cysteine of interest in baking?
Cysteine is important for the formation of disulfide bonds between glutenins forming the large protein complexes in gluten. Glutamine contributes with formation of hydrogen bonds which also contributes with interactions (although not as strong as the disulfide bonds) between the proteins in gluten (gliadins and glutenins). Large numbers of proline (as is the case in gluten) prevents the formation of ordered structures such as alpha-helices and beta-sheets. Instead it induces kinks and bends in the protein structure which can contribute to the elastic properties of gluten.
