Q

4 steps for analysis of FA composition?

A
  1. saponify fat –> react with NaOH to release FA
  2. methylate FA to convert them to volatile FA methyl esters (FAMES) + separate FAMEs by gas chromatography (25-100m)
  3. identify peaks in GC against known FAME standards and measure peak areas
  4. employ results of GC analysis to calculate overall FA composition

3. concerns when? –> result?
4. consequence
5. solution ish

A
  1. partial hydrogenation first used in food industry in 1911 bc excess of cottonseed oil
  2. resulted in cis to trans –> not same chemical structure as naturally occurring trans (ie in milk)
  3. concerns about how human body metabolize trans fat in 1990s –> margarines lost status of “healthy alternative” (since it didn’t have sat. fat)
  4. over years, partially hydrogenated oil banned in canada and us
  5. solution ish: switch to fully hydrogenated oils –> no double bonds

A
  • tissue disruption

A

hydrolysis of ester linkage btw glycerol backbone and FA in TG

28
Q

Lipoxygenase enzymes are names according to what?

A

A

C -OOH

30
Q

after crushing and heating, what are the 3 ways to extract oils?

A
  • hydraulic pressing
  • expelling
  • solvent extraction
33
Q

because animal/fish tissue contains high levels of ___________ (% vs oilseeds?), extraction with (hydrophobic or hydrophilic?) solvents is inefficient

A
  • moisture (60-80% vs 12% in oilseed)
  • hydrophobic solvents
34
Q

what process is used to extract lipids from meat and fish? what is it? (4 steps)

A

rendering –> ground meat/fish is placed into large pressurized vessel + heated with steam under pressure –> lipids melt and are released from tissue –> fat is skimmed off + oil is separated from water

35

- press cake may be further processed to obtain soybean protein for _______ _________

A
  • desolventized (removal of residual organic solvent)
  • sold as animal feed
  • human consumption
36
Q

why is the extracted oil dark brown?

A

due to lipid soluble pigments like carotenoids and chlorophyll (can accelerate autoxidation) and pheophytin

37
Q

what is contained in the particulate material of the extracted oil?
+ 5 other components

A
  • cellular debris comprised of mainly protein and carbohydrate
    1. FFA released from TG by action of plant’s lipase enzymes
    2. oxidative breakdown products formed by enzymatic action and attack by oxygen during crushing operation

how can we replace cocoa fat/butter that have property of having sharp melting point at body temp?

A
  • can be imitated by proper mod of other fats and oils (using hydrogenation and interesterification) so that they can be used as extenders (reduce amount of more expensive cocoa butter needed)
49
Q

How did banning trans fat affect margarine/shortening production? Solution? (2)

A
  • only legal to have 100% hydrogenation = 100% saturated fats = hard as a rock because melting point was too high

  • blend 100% sat fats from hydrogenation with oils until you get right consistency
  • interesterification
