process of sorting eggs having the same quality and weight into lots
grading of egg
who grades chicken eggs
Philippine Bureau of Standards
weight of extra large egg
> 62 g
weight of large egg
55-61 g
weight of medium egg
48-54 g
weight of small egg
41-47 g
weight of peewee or very small egg
<41 g
process of checking the interior quality where eggs are passed over a strong light to show the shell and interior
candling
coagulation of proteins:
egg white at what temp
60-65C
coagulation of proteins:
yolk
65-70C
egg cookery
have eggs at room temp to avoid cracking
water temp and cooking time are important
simmering or boiling
time requirement for soft-cooked eggs at 190-195F
6 mins
time requirement for soft-cooked eggs at 212F
3 minutes
time requirement for hard-cooked eggs at 190-195F
20-25 mins
time requirement for hard-cooked eggs at 212F
12-15 mins
egg cookery
pour boiling water over the eggs
cover and allow to stand until desired doneness
coddling eggs
egg cookery
crack eggs onto platters and slide them into the pan of about 2 1/2 inch deep of gently boiling water; or crack then carefully drop in the water
cook for 3-5 mins
add 1 Tbsp of salt and 2 Tbsp of vinegar to retard spread of the egg protein
poached eggs
cooking with dry heat: eggs
use hot fat; crack/place egg and pan-fry in small amount of cooking oil without breaking the yolk, keeping to low-to-moderate temp
frying
cooking with dry heat: eggs
cooked with the help of steam
cover the pan tightly as the eggs cooks; the steam coats the top of the egg with coagulated white
country style
process where proteins change from a liquid or semi-liquid state to a solid or firmer state when exposed to heat, acids, or enzymes.
a key process in preparing various dishes, especially those involving eggs, dairy, or meats
coagulation
cooking with dry heat: eggs
one side is slightly cooked
turn the egg and cook it slightly
over-easy
cooking with dry heat: eggs
egg is basted with hot fat while cooking
sunny-side-up
cooking with dry heat: eggs
whip the cracked whole egg then pan-fry
addition of sugar, liquids, and acids delays coagulation
4 oz of cream milk/other liquid is added per pound of whole eggs
scrambled eggs
responsible for the remarkable ability of egg yolk to act as an emulsifying agent
lecithin and lysolecithin
maximum stability of egg as foam is at what stage
soft stage
maximum volume of egg as foam is at what stage
stiff stage
stages in foam formation
(1) large, air bubbles that flow easily
frothy
stages in foam formation
(2) air cells are smaller and more numerous; foam become whiter; soft peaks are formed when beater is lifted
soft foam
stages in foam formation
(3) peaks hold their shape; when bowl is tipped, it holds, and is moist and glossy
stiff foam
stages in foam formation
(4) moistness and glossiness disappear; specks of egg white are seen
dry
egg whites are beaten/whipped readily at this temperature
this results in bigger volume and finer texture
room temperature
egg whites at room temp is better than egg whites at refrigerator temp because
refrigerated egg are more viscous; harder to beat/whip
require more beating to produce a good foam
whole eggs/yolk
foam faster but produce smaller volume than fresh eggs
stored eggs
interferes with foaming, producing smaller volume
whole egg (which contains fat), produce smaller volume
fat
increase stability of foam
when added too early, it delays foam formation (reduced volume), thus increasing the time necessary for beating
ex: cream of tartar 1t per cup
acids
increases the stability of foams, but delays foam formation (reduced volume), thus should be added after foaming has started and soft peaks have formed
it retards the denaturation of egg white
sugar
increases stability and volume
addition of soda
lowers quality of foam
addition of salt
duck eggs do not foam well because they lack what
ovomucin
produces more volume but is less stable (viscosity decreases)
this produces more tender cakes; in meringues, syneresis occurs
dilution of egg white by water
applications of foams in cookery
in souffle, angel cake, sponge cake, and chiffon cake
as leavening
for topping of cream
chocolate or lemon pie requires a proportion of 2 T sugar per egg white
soft meringue
for confections, base of fruit pies, or sans rival cake; requires a proportion of 1/4 cup of sugar per egg white
hard meringue
the mechanical action of _____ provides leavening when egg whites are used as leavening agents
does not require baking powder or baking soda
whipping air
egg whites as _____ is through its ability to trap air when beaten or whipped, which expands during baking, creating lightness and volume in baked goods
leavening agent
egg storage
w/o refrigeration, eggs can be stored at room temp for how many days
7 days
an opaque white liquid secreted by the mammary glands (udder) of female mammals
used by humans for food; source of butter, cheese, yogurt, etc.
commonly refers to as cow’s milk, unless otherwise specified
milk
protein in cow’s milk (3)
casein (principal), lactalbumin, lactoglobulin
carbohydrate in cow’s milk
known as the natural source of lactose
lactose
lipids in cow’s milk (3)
volatile fatty acids, butyric, and caproic acid
minerals in cow’s milk
calcium, phosphorus
except iron and iodine
pigments in cow’s milk
fat-soluble carotene and water-soluble riboflavin (lactoflavin)
kinds/market forms of milk
untreated; fresh milk that has been cooled but has not been pasteurized or undergone any treatment other than cooling
coats the tongue; consumption is banned in some places
raw milk
kinds/market forms of milk
composition of which has not been changed (nothing removed or added) since time of milking
ex: pasteurized, sterilized, homogenized, skimmed
fresh milk
heated to 61-65C for at least 30 mins (holding process) OR 71-77C (161F) for 15 secs (short time, high temp process),
then cooled to 10C or lower as rapidly as possible
free from pathogenic bacteria; needs refrigeration to maintain safety
pasteurized
