Q

How do phopholipids act as emulsifying agents?

A

They go to the boundary between the two liquids, and lower the surface tension (act as surfactant)

16
Q

What happens at the smoke point of oils?

A

The fat breaks down to glycerol and fatty acids. Glycerol gets broken down to acrolein, a blue foul smoke.

17
Q

What kind of oils are recommended for deep frying?

A

High smoke point, neutral flavour (ie peanut, canola, sunflower, cottonseed, safflower)

18
Q

True or False: Shorter fatty acids have a lower melting point.

A

True

19
Q

How long can you store unrefined oils?

A

6 months

20
Q

What accelerates rancidity?

A

Light, heat, O2, food particles

21
Q

What are the two types of rancidity?

A

Hydrolytic and oxidative

22
Q

What causes hydrolytic rancidity?

A

H2O breaks larger molecules into smaller ones.
-H2O hydrolyzes bonds in TG’s to break them down
-Reaction is catalyzed by lipase and heat
occurs when cold wet food is put in oil, or when oil has not been heated to the point when lipase has been destroyed by heat

23
Q

What causes oxidative rancidity?

A

Double bond of FA reacts with O2, more unsaturated fats are more susceptible (particularly omega 3)

  1. Initiation: free radical is formed, triggered by light, high temp, metals etc.
  2. Propagation: O2 combines with free radical to form peroxide, then domino effect occurs until all double bonds are gone
  3. Termination: No more H’s at double bonds to react with O2
24
Q

How do antioxidants prevent oxidation?

A

They get oxidized themselves, donate an H to FA’s, or act as a chelating agent (form bonds with metal to prevent oxidation)

25
Q

What are the disadvantages of chemical extraction of oils?

A

Loss of nutrients due to heating oil, some solvent can remain in the oil.

26
Q

What is the difference between expeller pressed and cold pressed oils?

A

Expeller pressed generated very high temperatures, therefore oil integrity lost.

27
Q

What are the 5 ways oil can be refined?

A
  • Degumming: Removal of phosphatides
  • Neutralization: Removal of free fatty acids
  • Bleaching: Removal of colour
  • Deodorization: Removal of odors, flavours
  • Winterization: removal of waxes
28
Q

What is intersterification?

A

Rearrangement of FA portion in triglyceride on glycerol backbone. Can modify physical properties without creating trans fatty acids.

29
Q

What is winterization?

A

Separation of oils into 2 or more fractions based on melting point. Oils are cooled and kept at low temp and liquid and solid are separated.

30
Q

What is fractionization?

A

Similar to winterization, but more sophisticated process, cooling and separating with more control

31
Q

Name 3 ways you can reduce fat in cooking.

A
  • Use non stick pans
  • Use parchment
  • Steam/grill/bake/poach foods
  • Use lower fat versions of foods (ie skim milk)
  • Use leaner cuts of meat
  • Use fat substitutes in baking
