Chapter 1: Basic Foods (4) Flashcards
structure of grains
8% of the kernel
group of single-layered square cells beneath the bran
contains proteins, ash, vitamins (thiamin), and some starch
aleurone layer
structure of grains
85% of the kernel; largest part of the grain
contains 75% starch granules embedded in a matrix of about 10% protein
contains: very little ash, vitamins, and fiber, only a trace of fat
cereal cookery is based on this structure
endosperm
structure of grains
3% of the kernel
rich in oil and fat-soluble vitamins, protein, and ash
easily attacked by insects and oxidative rancidity

cereal composition
main cho with small amounts of sucrose and dextrins
starch
cereal composition
protein % in ordinary rice and oats
7.5% (ordinary rice)
14% oats
cereal composition
The presence of bran, germ, and the aleurone layer enhances the nutritional value, as seen in _____, providing more fiber, protein, vitamins, and minerals.
unpolished or whole grains
cereal composition
starch is highly _____; fiber furnishes _____
digestible; roughage
cereal composition: pigments
white pigments belong to _____; yellow pigments belong to _____
flavones; carotenoids
grain forms
also called groats; bland grains that are either unprocessed or stripped only of their tough outer hulls
whole
grain forms
or pearled grains; more processed than whole grain; have more tender texture and cooks up faster
polished
grain forms
also called grits; grains cut into smaller pieces
cracked
grain forms
also called as rolled grains; grains that are steamed, rolled, and flaked
flaked
grain forms
ground whole grains
meal
grain forms
finely ground
flour
cereals: market forms
bran and germ removed by milling process
milled
milled may be:
no bran, no germ
highly milled or refined
milled may be:
with traces of bran and germ
undermilled
milled may be:
milled with only the hull removed; contains high amounts of bran and germ
brown rice
cereals: market forms
vitamin (thiamin, riboflavin, and/or niacin) and iron added to refined grams
enriched
cereals: market forms
cereal grains that had undergone heat treatment with hull still intact then sun-dried before dehulling
parboiled
cereals: market forms
cooking time is cut down
ex: rice is precooked, dried, and packaged
convenient food item
cereals: market forms
breakfast cereals, dessert or snack items, beverage, baked products
processed
cereals: changes during cooking
heat causes _____ of protein, making the proteins more digestible
denaturation
cereals: market forms
in moist cooking (boiling and steaming), _____ occurs, resulting in tenderness, digestibility, and increase in volume
ex: steamed rice
gelatinization
cereal grains are _____, they absorb moisture from air; they should be stored in cool, dry places, and in covered bins or containers, as they tend to lose crispness
hydroscopic
these type of cereals deteriorate more rapidly because of the presence of the brain and germ than refined or undermilled
oxidative rancidity attacks the unsaturated fats in the germ and bran
they should not be kept in storage too long unless refrigerated
whole grain and undermilled cereals
aging or storing grains hardens the _____; thus, solubility of the starch and the proteins is decreased
hardens
rice is the starch seed of _____; it can be short, medium, or long grain
Oryza sativa

rice market forms:
rice treated so that the nutrients from the outer layers are diffused into the inner layers of the grain so these are retained after the milling process
ex: pinipig
parboiled or converted rice
