Ch 7 (dairy) Flashcards
whole milk
88% water, 3.5% milkfat, 8.5% other milk solids
Pasteurization significantly affects nutritional value of milk.
False
TCS
time and temperature control for safety
pasteurization
the process of heating milk to a sufficiently high temperature (161F) for a short amount of time (15 sec) to destroy pathogenic bacteria.
ultra-pasteurization
the process of heating milk to very high temperatures (275F) for a very short time (2- 4 sec) to destroy virtually all bacteria.
Ultra-high-temperature (UHT) processing
held at 280-300F for 2-6 seconds and then packaged n sterile containers under sterile conditions.
Homogenization
fat globules in whole milk reduced in size and permanently dispersed throughout the liquid.
Why is most milk homogenized even though it’s not required?
Whiter, uniform appearance, and richer taste.
Reduced-fat milk
2% milkfat. Also known as 2% milk or less-fat milk.
Low-fat milk
1% milkfat. Also known as little-fat milk.
Nonfat milk
0.5% milkfat. Also known as fat-free, no-fat, or skim milk
Sweetened condensed milk can be substituted for whole milk.
False
Heavy cream is pasteurized and homogenized.
False
Cultured dairy products include
yogurt, sour cream, & buttermilk.
butter
a fatty substance produced by agitating or churning cream. At least 80% milkfat, 16% water, and 2-4% milk solids.
lactose
a disaccharide that occurs naturally in mammalian milk; milk sugar
whole butter
butter that is not clarified, whipped, or reduced-fat
rancidity
the decomposition of fats by exposure of oxygen, resulting in off-flavors and destruction of nutritive components.
margarine
not a dairy product. made from animal or vegetable fats or a combination of such fats.
green cheese
cheese processed by cutting, kneading, and cooking.
fresh or unripened cheese
uncooked and unripened cheese. Highly perishable. Include mozzarella, mascarpone, and feta.
soft cheeses
characterized by thin skins and creamy centers. Ripen quickly and are at peak for only a few days, sometimes less. Moisture content 50-75%. Include brie, taleggio, and boursin.
semisoft cheeses
mild & buttery with smooth, sliceable textures. AKA monastery or Trappist cheese. Includes gorgonzola, gouda, and stilton.
firm cheeses
not hard or brittle. some are close-textured and flaky. some are dense and holey. Include cheddar, american cheddar, and colby.
hard cheeses
carefully aged for extended periods and have moisture content of about 30%. Include asiago, pecorino romano, and parmigiano-reggiano (parmesan). Good for grating.
goat’s-milk cheeses
sharp, tangy flavor. Range in texture from very soft to very hard, depending on age. Include Chevre.
