Chapter 12 Flashcards
extraction
regardless of sourcess fat is extracted from their natural food sources
rendering
physical removal of fat from animal tissues
cold pressing
mechanically pressing plant seeds to remove oil (no heat)
hot pressing
uses steam or hot water, then pressing low qualility
solvent extraction
seeds pressed, then chemical (solvent is used to isolate any remaining oil
refining
removes undesirable components from fat
degumming
remove gums
neutralizing
removing free fatty acids
bleaching
removes coloring and flavor contaminants (active charcoal)
deodorizing
removes undesirable aromatic compounds, uses steam,
olive oil is not deodorized
winterization
specialty type of fraction/ removes fraction of oil composition with melting points high enough to solidify at refrigerator tempers
fractionation
separates oil into fractions with different properties and varying rations of fatty acids
crystallization
used to make fat products like margarine, butter, spread, shortening, specialty fats
tempering
type of crystallization used to make fats for confections
bloom
white moldy appearance at the surface of chocolate
hydrogenation
adds hydrogens to an unsaturated fatty acid
partial hydrogenation
a result of hydrogenation but is converted to transfats –> elaidic acid
INTER-esterification
new fatty acids are esterified to glycerol
INTRA-esterification
fatty acids removed, then the removed fatty acids are re-esterified in a DIFFERENT order
