Q

homogenized milk

A

high pressure BREAKS FAT GLOBULES to 1/5 regular size, film of protein surrounds each globule

47
Q

dried whole milk

A

26% fat, does not keep well

48
Q

dried skim milk

A

<1.5% fat, keeps well

49
Q

what is cultured buttermilk?

A

add lactic acid bacteria to skimmed or partially skimmed milk

50
Q

when using buttermilk in place of regular milk in a recipe, what do you need to do?***

A

increase baking soda! –> buttermilk is more acidic, baking soda is basic (making it more neutral towards the pH of regular milk)

51
Q

what is sweet acidophilus milk?***

A

skim milk + acidophilus bacteria, REDUCES/HAS LESS LACTOSE

52
Q

kefir

A

fermented by Lactobacillus kefir; adds CO2, about 3% alcohol

53
Q

low lactose milk- Lactaid

A

treated with lactase in processing or add the enzyme to regular milk and hold in the refrigerator

54
Q

yogurt

A

coagulated product; fermentation of milk sugars by lactic acid bacteria

55
Q

filled milk

A

skim milk, vegetable fat (coconut oil), water; illegal in some states

56
Q

imitation milk

A

resembles milk but contains NEITHER MILK FAT NOR other DAIRY INGREDIENTS (made from casein derivatives or soybean protein and vegetable oils)

57
Q

when milk is HEATED, what happens?**

A

WHEY PROTEIN PRECIPITATES out on bottom of pan or on surface of milk

58
Q

to prevent a film from forming in milk, what should you do?

A

cover or beat the milk to produce a foam

59
Q

to prevent milk from coating the sides of the pan, what should you do?

heat over water

60
Q

what is curdling?

A

clumping of bits of milk proteins

61
Q

to prevent curdling of milk, what should you do?**

A

A

80%

63
Q

margarine is how much fat?**

A

80% vegetable oil or animal fat

64
Q

why does butter turn rancid?

  • whipped cream
  • light or thin
  • medium
  • sour cream
