LMT -- Flashcards
Margarine Ingredients: (4)
vegetable or animal fat
beta carotenes
vitamn a,d,e,k
margaine is an emlusion of water in oil
Production process of margarine: (4)
Refinement
adding ingredients
mixing, cooling, kneading
packaging
The blast chiller for Margarine: (4)
war fatty liquid is mixed and transformed to margarine
cooling emulsifying crystallizing and plasticizing
three cooling cylinders and one or two non cooled. in alternating arrangement.
Oil production steps: (6)
Cleaning Grinding Pressing extraction removing traces purification/refining
Cleaning/grinding Oil: (4)
- magnets used for metal
- fruits are skinned and dehulled.
- Hammer or roller mills are used.
- pressed material is heated - better output but also more are substances, which need to be removed later.
Pressing Oil: (1)
a srecw press uses hydraulic pressure t oextract the oil
extraction with solvents (Lösungsmittel): (1)
the oil cake is treated with hexane to extract the very rest
removing traces Oil: (1)
oil is heated in a stripping column so the hecan floats upwards and will be collected for the next use
purification Oil (5)
- heated 45-85°C
- Alkalines are added
- this causes soap form, which is removed with a centrifuge
- Oil is filterd with activated carbon to remove pigments
- deodorizing with hot steam in a vacuum
composition of Oil or Fat: (4)
- derivatives of fatty acids and glycero
- consist primary of carbon and hydrogen atoms
- glycerol and fatty acids are the building block of fat (esterification)
- fat also called triclycerides because of their chemical composition
Properties of Oil: (5)
- are liquid at 20°C
- vegetable ois is low in cholesterol
- specific seed or fruit taste
- clear, green or yellowish colour
- animal fats are high in cholesterol
What is the melting point: (Oil) (5)
- go from solid to liquid
- chain length of saturated fatty acid increase = melting point increase
- double bonds = lower melting point
- vegetable oil: 5-18°C
- butter: 18-22°C
Smoke Point of Oil: (6)
- temperature at which the oil causes a bluish smoke
- glycerol breaks down into acrolein
- the more refind the higher the smoke point is
- vegetable oil: 170°C-190°C
- butter: 150°C
- hardened fats 210°C
Fat spoilage (7) inkl. reasons
-putrefication, protein breaks down
-sourness, production of lactic acid
-rancidity, breakdown of fats
Reasons:
-high moisture content
-exposure to light
-unhygienic handling
-heat
