Denaturation, Coagulation And Maillard Reaction Flashcards
1
Q
What is denaturation
A
The permanent structural change in the protein molecules in food. This can occur through application of heat
2
Q
What is coagulation
A
Permanent change in the protein from a liquid into a thick mass as the result of heat or addition of acid
