Q

What happens when proteins are heated

A

.when proteins are heated the intermolecular forces within the protein are broken. There is a change in the shape of the protein. The protein becomes denatured - this is irreversible cooking changes the texture of foods

Q

What are aldehydes

A

.aldehydes are formed by the oxidation of primary alcohol. Aldehydes have the car only group . On the end of the molecule.
They end in “al”

Q

How can you distinguish between an aldehyde and a ketone

A

.plave substance in test tube with oxidising agent. Heat in water bath and see the colour change. ( aldehyde if colour change and no colour change is a ketone)

Q

What are antioxidants

A

.they are good reducing agents which means they will get oxidised in preference to the food. Example of naturally occurring reducing agents are vitamin E and C

Q

What do the volatile molecules contained naturally in the food do

A

.volatile molecules contain naturally in food the food flavour

17
Q

Why do some foods taste better when cooked in oil/water

A

.if the food molecule is non polar then it should be cooked in water
If polar should be cooked in oil

This is to prevent flavour loss

18
Q

How does molecule size effect volatility and boiling point

A

.the larger the molecule the higher the boiling point due to stronger/ increased van der waals forces

The larger the molecule the less volatile is (due to increased van der waals forces

19
Q

How does the functional group prevent a flavour molecule affect boiling point, solubility and volatility

A

.

20
Q

Where is the best reducing agent in ECS

A

Top right best reducing bottom left best oxidising

Must be higher on the right than the left for reaction to occur

21
Q

Why might no indicator need to be used?

A

It is self indicating

22
Q

Definition for enthalpy or combustion

A

The enthalpy change when one mole of a substance is completely burned in oxygen

23
Q

Definition for enthalpy of neutralisation

A

The enthalpy change when an acid is neutralised to form one mole of water
