Q

What do phospholipids contain, and what is their function

3 kinds, where are they found

A

They contain po4, 2 tags on sn12, and a nitrogen containing group, when n is gone it is phosophtidic acid
They are emulsifiers. Lecithin is an example. Can have choline as a head group, found in eggs and soybeans, extrCted with hexane
Ethanol amine, cephlin . In Pufas and bilayers

Q

Oxidative rancidity- mechanism, products ( factors affecting ) auto oxidation

A

Heat, light, oxygen, ionization, loss of flavour and efas, toxic compounds, breaks fas from glycerol, intermediates formed = nasty odour , which condensates. Forms lipid hydroperoxides
Aldehydes provide Roma

Q

Lipolytic rancidity, brought Bout, where found, mechanism

A

More prone to oxidation then o2, hydrolysis by oxy, gen free fas , produces various aromas, lipase activity in fluid phases very active - more in homogenized milk since finely dispersed

Q

Initiation

A

Unsaturated lipids lose a hydrogen, forming a lipid radical, in the presence of an initiator, can also be incorporated into a ROOH, forms a hydroperoxide

Q

Propagation

A

The lipid radical reacts with oxygen to form a lipid peroxyl radical LOO
Will attack fatty acid double bonds to get a h, produces another one of itself

Q

TerminAtion

A

Can combine with another radical to terminate, or can run into an anti oxidant lool o2, or loo + ah – looh + a

Q

Hydroperoxides function

A

Central mechanism of lipid breakdown, easily decompose to form hydroperoxide free radicals, breaks double bonds forms aldehydes , ketones carboxylic acids

17
Q

antioxidants

A

Slow rancidity, does not stop production of aldehydes and ketones rom hydroperoxides

18
Q

How do ntioxidants work

A

Retardation auto oxidation. Compete for oxy binding retardation free radicals inhibition of catalysts , stabilize hydroperoxides most importants is blocking of propagation.

19
Q

Blockage of propagation mechanism via anti ox

A

Ah acts as a hydrogen donor to loo or l, a does. A does not act as an initiatior itself enters a termination reaction. Can be regenerated if favourable

20
Q

What should food grade anti oxidants hAve. Also what is a contributor to lipid oxidation thru catalytic action

A

Should be fat soluble. Metallic ions, cu, iron.

Citric acid sequesters metals , enhance phenolic antiox activity

21
Q

Browning of fruits and veg when cut

A

EnzymTic action of phenolic compounds . Ascorbic acid prevents this , critic acid enhances the effectively of Ascorbic acid in preventing browning

22
Q

E numbers

23
Q

Synergism

A

The two nit oxidants together and greater then when used sepErately mixed free radical quenchers, mixed free rad and a metal cheating agent . A synergist may have more then one role , electron donor as well as Metal Che.ator

24
Measuring lipid oxidation
Rate of oxy uptake , formation of per oxides, ydroperoxidsz , mall aldehydes conj dienes , free fatty acids
25
Rte of oxygen uptKe tbars
Oxidized fat reacts with tba, forms tba acid, gives red coloured complex , correlates with degree of rancidity
26
Types of fat in foods
Milk fat, Lauric acid ( coconut oil) , veg butter , Oleic linoleic, linolenic, animal fat Marine oils
27
Milk fat
Palmitic Oleic , steRic, short chain , branched, odd numbered
28
Lauric acid
Coconut oil. Babassu large number of saturated , low melting point
29
Cocoa butter, narrow melting range, no tri saturated , large number of saturated
Above lol
30
Lonoleic
Canola, olive, safflower, most abundant, less then 20 saturated
31
Linolenic
Hemp, soy, whet germ
32
Animal fats
C16, 18, some oleic and linoleic , mostly fully saturated tag , high mp. Small amounts of odd numbered
33
Marine oils
Long chain Pufas up to 6 dbl bonds, a and d , less resistant to oxidTion usually have dha and EPA at sn2
34
Plant tags
Seed oils have unsaturTed fatty acids at sn2 13 are sat
35
Animal tags
Varies among animal/ where on animal , depot fat can be altered by changing dietary fat c16 at sn1, c14, sn2, short chain in milk is at sn3
36
Pig fat
Unique | Sn1and 3 c18, sn2 c16
37
Impurities in refining , steps in refining,
``` FFA, phospholipids, carbohydrates,proteins, water, pigments, fat oxidation products Settling degumming Neut using base Bleaching Deodorizing Hydrogenation ```
38
Settling and degumming
Water, protein materials and cho, oil is heated and allowed to stand
39
Neutralization
Uses NaOH, created rootstock or soapstock, removes phospholipids and colouring materials
40
Bleaching
Removes residual soapstock , phospholipids and oxidation products , oil is then filtered with activated carbon,
41
Deodorization
Steam distilization , used to remove volatile compounds , critic acid is often used to bind metals
42
Hydrogenation
Adding h+ to double bonds aids in stability Liquid oil is converted to semi solid fat or plastic fats , shortening or margarine Improves oxidative stability , decrease in the number of unsat fas
