Dairy revision and past exam questions Flashcards
caseins and whey products in milk differ in their?
solubility at pH 4.6
particle size
rennet coagulability
heat stability
the largest (by size) particles in raw whole milk are
fat globules
followed by casein->whey->llactose and salt
pasteurisation of milk is designed to
destroy pathogenic and spoilage bacteria in milk
comparing UHT to in-container sterilisation
UHT
- less quality loss
- more even heating
- shorter heating time and cooling times
In-container sterilisation
- less difficulty with particulates
- greater shelf life
- more severe heat treatment
- slows heat penetration
during butter making butter grains are plasticised or ‘worked’ to
break up embedded pockets of buttermilk or water in droplets
form larger fat crystals
rupture milk fat globule membrane
impove shelf life
whip the cream?
butter suffers from lack of spreadability at refridgeration temp due to ?
it has a high melting temperature due to the high melting temperature of the FA found in largest proportions
The small water droplets prevent growth of bacteria; poorly ‘worked’ butter has an uneven distribution and uneven sizes of water droplets which allow bacterial growth
the role of emulsifier in developing proper ice cream structure is to?
- replace proteins on the surface of milk fat globule
- reduce stability of milk fat globules
- make milk fat globule more prone to coalescence during whipping
- help in flocculation of milk fat globules
high temp heat treatment of milk during yogurt manufacture helps in
producing a relatively sterile environment for starter culture growth
denaturing whey proteins
decreasing syneresis from yogurt
shortening coagulation time
TRUE OR FALSE
changes in freezing point of milk can indicate its adulteration with water
true
TRUE OR FALSE
the major function of the milk fat globule membrane is dispersion of fat in the aquesous phase of milk
true
TRUE OR FALSE
milk contains high levels of poly unsat fat
false
- low levels
TRUE OR FALSE
casein micelles are stabilised by k-casein on their surface
true
TRUE OR FALSE
the shelf life of ESL milk is as long as UHT milk
false
low to high shelf life
pasteurisation milk ->ESL milk->UHT milk
TRUE OR FALSE
cream is a water-in-oil emilsion
false is a oil-in-water
TRUE OR FALSE
alkaline phosphatase enzyme acts as an indication of sufficient pasteurisation during milk processing
true
Understand composition of milk
low casein and high lactose - cow milk
various factors that affect the composition and yield of milk
nutritional factors
non nutritional factors
nutrition factors that affect the composition and yield of milk
type and quality of feed
non-nutrition factors that affect the composition and yield of milk
breed, location, season, temperature
What is milk fat made of?
lipids, milk globules enveloped by membrane;
Triacylglycerols; Diacylglycerols; Monoacylglycerols; Free fatty acids; Phospholipids; Sterols; Carotenoids; Fat-soluble vitamins; Flavour compounds
