Chapter 1: Basic Foods (5) Flashcards
more amylopectin (waxy), more _____ property
thickening
decreases thickening; elevates gelatinization temperature (for starch to thicken)
sugar
decrease thickening
acids
aka weeping
as cooled gel ages, some water weeps from the network (micelles)
occurs with stiff gels
increased syneresis occurs when concentration of sugar is 50%
syneresis
syneresis
dry heat cooking at 160C
changes starch to smaller fragments called dextrins
dextrins are water-soluble, thus decreases the ability of starch to gelatinize and thickens
dextrinization
syneresis
alpha amylase, sometimes called dextrogenic or liquefying amylase, can accelerate dextrinization and liquefy starch
beta-amylase or saccharifying amylase hydrolyzes starch to maltose
diastase is a mixture of alpha- and beta- amylase
action of enzymes
4 problems in starch cookery
-lumping
-incomplete gelatinization or raw starch flavor
-scorching
-undesirable consistency of sols and gels
preventing lumps
dissolve in _____ first to keep grains dispersed
cold water
preventing lumps
coat with fat
roux
preventing raw starch flavor
cook for _____ more after gelatinization point _____ to be sure that complete swelling and cooking

pasta, pizza, other baked goods
kinds of noodles
egg noodles made from flour and duck eggs, sat, and soda
dough is shaped, boiled, drained and deep fried before packaging
pancit canton
kinds of noodles
made from mung bean or cassava starch
long, thin, wiry, round, and transluscent noodles
also called cellophane, nylon, or silk noodles
the starch paste is first cooked then extruded into thin strands before being sun-dried
sotanghon
kinds of noodles
made from rice or corn flour
the dough is extruded then boiled, cooled, and dried
first class is made from rice
bihon
kinds of noodles: bihon
thin noodles made from rice only, or from rice or con
first class bihon is made from well-polished white rice
white bihon
kinds of noodles: bihon
same as white bihon, but is moiter and does not keep long
shelf life is shorter and is used for pancit palabok or luglug
fresh bihon
kinds of noodles
made from cassava and wheat flour
hairy noodles, usually salted
cheapest noodle
