Chapter 10 Flashcards
Fats and Oils
which food contains trans Fat
beef, lamb, dairy product
which food contain linoleic acid (omega 6)
vegetables oils (safflower,corn), meat, nuts, seeds
which food contain linolenic acid (omega 3)
vegetable oils (canola), eggs, chia seeds, flax seeds, leafy greens, walnuts, soy products
which food contain EPA and DHA
fatty fish
role of phospholipids
emulsifying agent
which food contain phospholipids
mustard, egg yolk, soybean, liver, wheat germ
where do we found phytosterols
many plants (fruits, vegetables, seeds, nuts, legumes,cereals)
Why industries put waxes on fruits + vegetables (3 reasons)
increase shelf life, prevent moisture loss, protect them during shipping)
which fats are recommend for frying (high smokin point + neutral flavor)
peanut, safflower, sunflower, cottonseed, canola,
what is refined oils
physically and chemically processed to remove undesirable components from the oil
what is the problem with refined oils
some of the nutrients are loss when we take out the impuretes
storage of most oils
at room temperatire, away from light, tighlty covered (will be keep longer in the fridge)
storage of butter and margarine
refrigerator
what is rancidity
chemical deterioration of fat ( fatty acids break down in smaller units) that cause off flavor and rancid odours
what accelerate rancidity
heat, light and exposure to oxygen
what is hydrolytic rancidity
exposure to water, catalyse by heat and lipase enzyme
example of hydrolytic rancidity
butter at room temperature, deep-frying
what is oxydative rancidity + more susceptible fat
exposure to oxygen, unsaturated fatty acids
first step of oxydative rancidity + what happened
initiation, free radical are formed
what triggered the formation of free radical in the first step of oxydative rancidity
metal (Fe, Cu, Ni), heat, light, sugar, food particules in frying oils
second step of oxydative rancidity + what it does
propagation, oxygen link with the free radical and formed peroxide free radical
