exam 1 Flashcards
lAnalytical (effective) tests
Detects discernible differences–More objective than affective tests–Usually conducted by a trained pane
Discriminative tests–
Are the samples different?`
Descriptive tests–
How much do the samples differ?`
Affective (acceptance or preference) tests
–Detects preferences–Participants asked to rank products or state whether they like a product or not–Usually given to untrained consumers
Hedonic tests–
How much do you like the product?
Personal preference tests–
Which product do you prefer?
Physical tests
–Size–Shape–Weight–Volume–Density–Moisture–Texture–Viscosity
Water makes up what % of people
60-70%`
fat makes up what %
15-25%
Protein makes up what %
15%
Minerals make up what %
12%
Free water
Largest amount in foods
Bound water
Part of molecules of carbohydrates, fats, proteins
Foods have water content of
0 to 95%
Fruits and vegetables % water
70 to 95% water
Whole milk % water
80% water
Most meats % water
average just under 70%
foods with Least water:
vegetable oils and dried foods such as grains and beans
: the amount of energy required to raise 1 kilogram of water 1°C
Kilocalorie
the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of 1 gram of a substance 1°C
Specific Heat:
Addition of ______ lowers the freezing point
solutes
solid, liquid, or a gas compound dissolved in another substance
solute
The boiling point of water is
212°F–
_______ water contains greater concentration of calcium and magnesium compounds
Hard
______ water has a higher sodium concentration
Soft
3 monossacharaids
glucose, fructose, galactose
disaccaraaids
sucrose, lactose, maltose
sucrose
table sugar–One glucose and one fructose molecule
Lactose:
milk sugar; not digestible by some–One glucose and one galactose molecule
Maltose:
malt sugar; found in beer, cereal, some infant formulas–Two glucose molecules linked together
Oligosaccharides
–(Oligo means “few”)–Three to ten monosaccharides linked together
Raffinose and stachyose–
Found in dried beans–Digesting them produces gas
Fructo-oligosaccharides
–Found in fruits and vegetables–Prebiotics
Polysaccaraids
starch, glycogen, fiber, cellulose
These substances, found between and within the cell walls of fruit and vegetables, include protopectin, pectin, and pectic acid.
Pectic Substances
Can act as natural cementing agents, and so are extracted from their source foods by the food industry for use in:thickening jamskeeping salad dressing from separatingcontrolling texture and consistency
Pectic Substances
used by the food industry to:thicken, provide viscosity, gel, stabilize, and/or emulsify certain processed foods.They impart body, texture, and mouthfeel to foods, while also making it less likely for dispersed ingredients to separate.
Vegetable gum
–Consists of repeating units of fructose with an end molecule of glucose. –Occurs naturally in over 30,000 plants.–Most commonly found in asparagus, Jerusalem artichoke, and garlic, but…–Commercial processors extract it from the chicory root.
Inulin
Is a soluble fiber that can be used by the food industry for:Giving a creamy texture to frozen dairy products (no-fat or no-sugar ice cream)Improving the textures of margarine spreadsDeveloping no-fat icings, fillings, and whipped toppings.
inulin
–Three fatty acids attached to a glycerol molecule–95% of lipids in foods
Triglycerides
Length determined by number of carbon atoms–Saturation determined by number of double bonds between carbon atoms
Fatty acids–
no double bonds
saturated
one double bond
monosaturated
multiple double bonds
polyunsaturated
Large, intricate molecules consisting of interconnected rings of carbon atoms with a variety of side chains attached–Cholesterol only found in animal foods–Bile, sex and adrenal hormones, and vitamin D are all examples of
sterol
functions of proteins in food:
•Hydration•Denaturation/coagulation•Enzymatic reactions•Buffering•Browning
Organic (carbon-containing)–Can be destroyed by heat, light, or oxygen–No kcalories
Vitamins–
Nonorganic; found on periodic table–Cannot be destroyed by heat, light, or oxygen–No kcalories
Minerals–
modified by the addition of certain nutrients in order to replace those lost during processing (refers to refined grain products)
Enriched:
modified by the addition of nutrients that were not present in the original food
Fortified:
a nonnutritive “chemical” in plants that is considered beneficial to health
Phytochemicals:
Any Compound that Enhances theFlavor(s) in a Food
Seasoning
Substance that Adds New Flavor
Flavoring
