Dairy and meat Lab Flashcards
1
Q
Water
A
- 87% of milk
2
Q
Fat
A
- triglycerides in membrane-enclosed “fat globules”
- separates out as cream in fresh milk by floating to the top
3
Q
Lactose
A
- the main carb
4
Q
Proteins
A
- 2 classes
5
Q
Caseins
A
- 80% of the proteins in milk
- insoluble
- give milk its white color
6
Q
Whey Proteins
A
- soluble
- several different forms
7
Q
Vitamins
A
- fat-soluble vitamins are in the milk fat
- water-soluble vitamins are in nonfat component
8
Q
Minerals
A
- many
- phosphorus and calcium
9
Q
Milk in US
A
- pasteurized and homogenized
10
Q
Pasteurization
A
- destroying pathogens in milk
- common to use high temp for short time (72 degrees C for 15 s)
- or use really high temp for 2 seconds (140 degrees C) to sterilize milk and have longer shelf life
11
Q
Homogenization
A
- reducing milk fat globules so they’re dispersed thru milk liquid
- no creaming occurs
12
Q
Churning
A
- breaking down fat globules
- agitate to incorporate air as foam –> whipped cream
- keep agitating to break foam and get small granules of butter and liquid (buttermilk)
- granules made of milkfat
- ice cream: similar process + ice crystals + air + egg yolks (to help water and milk fat mix in emulsification)
13
Q
Curd
A
- contains casein proteins, fat, minerals (high in Ca and P), and vitamins
14
Q
Whey
A
- whey proteins, lactose, vitamins, minerals, water
15
Q
Acid Coagulation
A
- to coagulate caseins in milk
- milk caseins insoluble at pH = 4.6 (cows) and pH = 4.2 (goat) –> isoelectric point of casein
- lowering pH to isoelectric point makes caseins coagulate
16
Q
Rennin Coagulation
A
- to coagulate milk caseins
- protein-digesting enzymes
- rennet from calf abomasum has rennin enzyme that is used to produce cheese curd
- veggie and recombinant rennet also available
17
Q
Cheeses
A
- different cheeses made in different ways, and not necessarily by acid or rennet coagulation
- majority of cheeses are made from curds, but some cheeses, such as Ricotta, are made from whey
18
Q
Very Hard Cheeses
A
- Romano, Parmesan
19
Q
Hard Cheeses
A
- cheddar, provolone, swiss
20
Q
Semisoft Cheeses
A
- Muenster, Limburger, Blue, Gorgonzola
21
Q
Soft Cheeses
A
- brie and cottage
22
Q
Ice Cream
A
- milk fat (cream, half-n-half, some water in milk frozen)
- sugar
- eggs
- air bubbles introduced as ingredients are whipped results in structure of ice cream
23
Q
Evaporated Milk
A
- removes most of water thru vacuum pan
24
Q
Condensed Milk
A
- addition of large quantity of sugar to evaporated milk
