Name a starch debranching enzyme.

A

Pullulanase or isoamylase

39
Q

Glucose isomerase has been used for more than 30 years by the starch industry for the manufacture of what?

A

High fructose syrups - Glucose isomerase converts glucose to fructose to make HFCS

40
Q

A

Strong flour

43
Q

“Shortening” is defined as any used in baked products.

A

Fat or oil

44
Q

Which protein fractions of wheat gluten are soluble or insoluble in alcohol?

A

Gliadin - soluble in alcohol, Glutenin - alcohol-insoluble

45
Q

What is the major difference between hard and soft wheat?

A

Hard is a higher quality protein, elastic dough, used for breadmaking; Soft is lower quality protein, used for cake making

46
Q

What is the differencre between a dough and a batter?

A

In a dough, the water component is low enough that the protein complex is the continuos phase in which the other components are embedded. The water content is much higher ina batter and water is the continuous phase in which protein are dispersed

What are cereal adjuncts?

A

Corn or rice grits used to provide a more economical source of fermentable carbohydrates. Used to obtain paler, blander, less-filling beers.

Dough conditioning, flour bleaching, flour malting and anti staling

55
Q

In areas where corn was introduced as a staple crop, a new disease soon developed. What is the disease and what causes it?

A

Pellagra caused by niacin deficiency as 50-80% of corn’s niacin is unavailable.
