CHAPTER 1: BASIC CONCEPTS IN FOOD SCIENCE Flashcards
Study of the chemical, physical, and microbiological nature of foods and any transformation that food undergoes as reflected in its characteristics and properties.
Food Science
Body-building foods source
Protein-rich foods
Energy foods source
carbohydrates and fat-rich foods
Regulating foods source
vitamin and mineral rich foods
refers to the completeness of digestion and absorption
digestibility
ingestion of toxin produced by microorganism
food intoxication
ingestion of massive number of microbial cells
food infection
5 forms of water
free water, hydrates, adsorped on the surfaces of solid/crystals, absorbed or imbibed within gels, and bound water
these are organic compounds composed of amino acids linked by peptide bonds
protein
what classification of protein are albumin, globulin, glutelin, prolamine and seleroprotein?
Simple proteins
what classification of protein are nucleoprotein, mucoprotein, lipoprotein, chromoprotein, phosphoprotein, metalloprotein?
Conjugated proteins
what classification of protein are proteans, metaproteins, coagulated proteins, proteoses, peptones, peptides?
Derived
what classification of carbohydrates are glucose, fructose, and galactose?
monosaccharides
what classification of carbohydrates are sucrose, lactose, maltose?
disaccharides
what classification of carbohydrates are digestible and indigestible fibers?
polysaccharides
what kind of fiber are starch, dextrins, and glycogen?
digestible
what kind of fiber are cellulose, hemicellulose like agar, pectin, and lignin?
indigestible
what kind of fiber are galactogens, inulin, mannosans, and pentosans?
partially digestible
organic compounds belonging to water soluble substances called lipids
fats
esters of glycerol and fatty acids
fats
collective minerals (inorganic constituents) are called?
ash
chlorophyll and carotenoids are what kind of pigments?
fat-soluble pigments
flavonoids and tannins (anthocyanins and antoxanthins) are what kind of pigments?
water-soluble
What pigment: yellow, orange, orange-red?
carotenoids
what pigment: different hues of green?
cholorophylls
what pigment: red, blue, purple/violet?
anthocyanins
what pigment: white to yellow?
antoxanthins and flavones
