9 Flashcards
nutrition: FAT CONTAINS
fat: 9kcal/g
essential f.a (definition):
___ : vit
for which organs
- cannot produce them oruselves, get from food
- linoleic (omg6) vs linolenic (omg3)
- antioxidants: vit E & C
- for brain nerve retinal cell; also impact eye health
classification- 3
can be either @ roomp temp
which has double bond?
sat = no DOUBLE BOND; solid @ roomp temp
monounsat: at least one; liquid
cis H atoms on same side; trans OPP
id test to find the unsat degree of fat
= iodine values
sat fat’d take no idoine while polyunsat fat will take lots
qualities:
______
f.a attract
- if symmetrical & _______, crystals
polymorphic = can take on many forms
_____ van der waal forces to bond crystal as it cools
& similar C length, form more crystals
3 main forms of crystals: __ & ____ & ____
het vs homo (all 3 f.a chains in glycerol backbone all =)
give an e.g
e.g milk fat vs lard
forms: alpha, beta, beta-prime to determine which fat work best in specific food
het (diff) yield more beta prime crystal
e.g in milk at when makign forsting -> creamy txture
homo: mroe beta crystals i.e in lard
melting point depends on___
influenced by type of fat
assym fat have lower MP
strength of bonding forces btw f.a: < attraction, easier to crystalise -> higher MP
- (l) fat have lower mP vs (s): longer chain; higher MP
- cis fat has more kinks -> less energ to melt vs sat fat highrr MP
smoke point =
depends on what?
higher SP
temp @ which smoke comes form fat surface when heated
- depends on thermal stability when contact air
- depends on ease of glycerol hydrolysis & # of free glycerol:
higher SP _> better for high temp COOKING i.e baking
what happens in heating of fat & smoke?
due to excess heating & smoke, free glycerol demp to H20 + acrolein
compare flash point vs fire point
flash point = temp of volatines being ignited; cannot sustain combust
fire point = ___sustaining combus
oil once heated reach SMOKE point 0-> FLASH point -> Fire point
plasticity =
like
= when it doesnt change shape permanently til stress or force applied
like solid fat, beta prime crystals in het fat
if compsoed of liquid & crystal, flexible
bt the small combo of (l) & (s) allow fat to flex
general abt refining:
remove the phospholipid, carb protein water
start w/ crude oil,
wannt oxidative stable (so not susceptible to rancidity), provide nutr w/ function aspect
…..bt keep essential f.a, antioxidants, vit
additives to protect quality in prolong storage?
3f parta
lecithin as emulsifier
citric acid (metal chelating) to inhibit oxidation
polyclyerol ester: to inhibit crystalisation
rendering
extract fat from lve stock by melting down or reprocessing meat bone / animal byproduct
via heat or steam
is the result of rendering cattle & sheep
- deoderise (doesnt impac the taste) vs udeo (to enhance food flavour)
there is edible and indedible tallwo (or yellow grease) -> make bioful, soap & detergent
what is so good abt marine oil?
typically long polyunsat fat
high in vit D & A, susceptible to oxidation
source of EPA & DHA
