Exam 4 Flashcards
Food vs Feed difference
Psychological
Both are:
nutritious, safe, palatable to the consumer
Why is feed ground instead of just cracker
To improve feed efficiency (wt gain per feed consumed)
reduce transport loss
increase storage space efficiency
Methods of grinding grain for feed and the form of the feed in each method
Roller mill when fed as mash
Hammermill when fed as pellets
Roller milll process
steam if going to crimp
dry mill
crimp (same as bumped)
Hammer mill description and product
Blunt force against screen (hammer doing most of work)
fine particle size
Grinding disadvantages
dusty product (health concerns, trucking losses)
segregation of additives
Low bulk density (takes up alot of space to store/transport)
Pelleting process
Grains (and other minerals, vit, enzymes) mixed with steam
flows into pelleting chamber
compressed into a die
pellet drops out and is cooled (size/shape vary based on animal)
screened for size (anything not right gets re-extruded)
Pelleting advantages
improved handling
improved feed efficiencies (partially gelatinized the starch, denatured proteins, more homogenous mix)
less loss
Aquatic feeds are ___ if it is a floating or slow sinking feed
extruded
Aquatic feeds are ___ if it is a feed that sinks quickly
pelleted
Aquatic feeds
- protein levels
- ingredients
high protein level
up to 50 diff ingredients that must be equally distributed in the pellet
Pet food processing options
Dry expanded - pellets or extruded
semi-moist= extruded (no expansion)
soft expanded = water added in extruder, extruded
Snacks and treats = baked or extruded
Rheology definition
study of how materials deform, flow, or fail when force is applied
-complex systems
Viscous flow
material will flow under stress but not recover immediately (honey)
Newtonian Viscosity
Ideal viscosity, is not affected by shear rate
just water
Non-Newtonian Viscosity
- definition
- challenge
Shear rate and time affect viscosity (real-life)
-viscosity decreases with increased shear
(stir something faster and it gets thinner)
-must measure shear at diff points to get diff viscosity readings (challenge)
Elasticity
definition and bonding
Material will deform but returns to its original size and shape instantaneously when the force is released.
(highly cross-linked, large molecular wt- rubber band)
Viscoelastic (definition and bonding
Viscous but elastic.
Cross connected with non-covalent bonds that are constantly bonding and breaking. Does not return to original shape.
Deformation
alter the shape by pressure or stress
stress
force exerted on the material
strain
resistance to stress
Moldulus
Mathematical interpretation of stiffness
-stiff substance doesn’t move when you push on it
Storage moldulus
measure of energy stored
E prime = tension or compression
G prime= sheering or twisting motions
Loss modulus
Measure of energy lost as heat
E double prime = tension compression
G double prime= sheering twisting
It is impossible to define stress on dough because
dough’s constantly changing shape and pressure points
Traditional instruments for measuring dough rheology during mixing
Farinograph and mixograph
-not true rheological but still widely used
Farinograph looks at
protein characteristics of the flour. How much water to get to 500 consistency (page 3 rheology)
dough characterisitcs in unchanging conditions
-not a true rheological test
Alveograph looks at and procedure
-Measure of extensibility and dough strength Biaxial extension (two directional stretching of dough) Blow a bubble till it pops -not a true rheological test
Extensograph
Measure time related changes and changes with ingredients
- dough shaped in a cylinder then stretched
- not a true rheological test
Rheology: Traditional instruments used post-mixing
Alveograph and extensograph (involves stretching the dough)
Dough physical chemistry instrumentaiton
lubricated uniaxial compression
-dynamic rheological testing
considered to be the best indication of what is happening with the dough
Batter traditional instrumentaiton
Amylopgraph and RVA
flow viscometers
Batter physical chemistry instrumentation
Oscillatory probe rhometers
rotation viscometers
(stirring resistance)
Bread ingredients
Flour Water Yeast Salt Many optional (nonessential) ingredients
Flour parameters for bread making (protein, type)
Hard wheat
8-12% protein
some damaged starch as indirect CHO source for yeast and to increase water absorption
Arbinoxylans in flour
absorb huge amount of water
-this is why we can have 100% rye bread, high ARBXL hold dough together
Flour protein role in bread making
gluten matrix
- structure
- air nuclei
Starch role in bread making
Gelatinzation
- takes up water (from other components=drying)
- contributes to setting the structure
Water role in bread making
1=plasticization of gluten and starch
Solvent
metabolism support of yeast
controls feel of dough
water characteristics affecting bread making
amount (too much = sticky, too little = no ferment, no gluten formation, crumbling)
Hardness (soft water= soft dough, hard = stiff product)
mineral content
Yeast role in bread making
CO2 production (leavening) changes in dough rheology
Salt role in bread making
Flavor enhancer Rheological effect (strengthens protein matrix which improves gas retention and extension)
Sugar (nonessential) role in bread making
Fermentable CHOS
Darker crust color
sweetnes
Vital Wheat Gluten (nonessential) role in bread making
Increase absorption and hydrate proteins
increased volume
increase processing tolerance
Alpha-amylase (nonessential) role in bread making
Fermentable CHOS from malted barely
slows post-bake firming = softer breads
Enzymes added (nonessential) role in bread making
Xylanases, Lipases, Oxidases
dough strengtheners
trying to replace chemicals with enzymes
Fats or oils (shortening)
(nonessential) role in bread making
Increased tenderness
increased loaf volume
reduced firming rate - longer shelf life
Mineral yeast food
(nonessential) role in bread making
Nitrogen to support metabolism
co-factors for yeast enzymes
Oxidants
(nonessential) role in bread making
Improve loaf volume and crumb grain
not needed when grain is allowed to naturally age
Reducing agents
(nonessential) role in bread making
chemical process
Reduce mixing time
decrease dough elasticity (for doughs that give too much snap back like pizza dough)
work by reducing protein size which makes them less tightly linked, allowing them to hydrate and develop much faster
Sufactants / Emulsifiers
(nonessential) role in bread making
Dough stabilizers (strengtheners) crumb softeners
Mold Inhibitors (nonessential) role in bread making
Minimize mold growth, usually by reducing pH
Non-Fat Dry Milk
(nonessential) role in bread making
Functions as yeast food (nitrogen, and yeast co-factors)
high in essential amino acid lysine
