31
Q

High-quality eggs vs. low-quality, or older eggs – characteristics (low quality eggs exhibit similar characteristics as older eggs)

A

(candeling)
Fresh: tall and firm albumen
Old: Spread out and runny albumen

32
Q

Major proteins in milk & characteristics

A

Caseins: 80% solid. have lots of amino acids to help with growth and development
- used for emulsifying and stabilizing
Whey Protein: 20% liquid after casein is separated
- used for gelling. lactalbumin + lactoglobin

33
Q

Ways that milk can be coagulated

A

Heat, Acid, Bacteria, Enzymes, Polyphenolic compounds in fruits/ veggies, salts

34
Q

milk allergy

A

: True food allergy caused by an allergic reaction to the protein in milk

35
Q

Lactose Intolerance

A

Caused by not having enough of the enzyme lactose which is needed to break down lacose the sugar in milk and dairy

36
Q

Ap

A

as purchased

37
Q

EP

A

edible portion

38
Q

Waste %

A

inedible parts

39
Q

Bran

A

is the hard outer covering of wheat kernel, high in fiber and nutrients

40
Q

Germ

A

: is the nutrient rich embryo that will sprout and grown into a new wheat plant

41
Q

Endosperm

A

is the biggest part 83%, the “insides” of the kernel – mostly starch

42
Q

White flour

A

made from the endosperm only = not a whole grain

43
Q

Whole wheat flour

A

combines all 3 parts of the wheat berry = whole grain

44
Q

Baking Soda

A

3-4x stronger than powder, leavened, pure sodium bicarbonate, reacts with an acid the resulting chemical reaction produces bubbles of CO2 that expand under oven temp

45
Q

Baking Powder

A

Contains sodium bicarbonate, mixture of baking soda, cream of tartar, and sometimes cornstarch, leavened, single or double acting, activated by moisture or gas

46
Q

White Sauce steps

A
  1. Melt fat over medium heat, whisk in flour and seasonings until smooth, whisk in milk, boil, and cook/ stir until thickened
47
Q

kneading

A

to form gluten

48
Q

proofing

A

Refers to the final rise dough undergoes takes place after being shaped into a loaf

49
Q

punching

A

: Removes some of the gas bubbles formed by the yeast during rising and produces a finer grain. It also redistributed the yeast cells, sugar, and moisture so they can ferment and raise the dough during the proofing stage

50
Q

Why is temperature very important when making yeast bread?

A

Since yeast is a living organism, accurate liquid temperature is of utmost importance as is directly influences the yeast activity

51
Q

Gluten– how gluten strands are strengthened

A

Gluten: gives elasticity to dough, helping rise and keep shape
Tough/ strong = more flour and moisture are stirred/ handled

52
Q

moist heat

A

a method of cooking in which heat is transferred by water, any water based liquid, or steam
- braising, stewing, poaching, microwaving

53
Q

dry heat

A

: A method of cooking in which heat is transferred by air, radiation, fat, or metal:
- roasting, baking, broiling, grilling, frying, sautéing, pan-frying, stir frying

54
Q

Where the most tender, least tender cuts are generally located on a steer

A

Cuts based on steer bones. Most tender = cute between 12th and 13th rub that exposes the muscle based on color, grain, surface, texture, and fat distribution

Most Tender: On back, Rib, Short Loin, Sirloin
Least Tender: Flank, Short Plate, Brisket, Foreshank

55
Q

Keep fat cold
Use fresh flower
Don’t cook in humid or warm room
Cold countertop prefer stainless steel
Do not handle dough too much
59
Q

Types of leavening used- quick breads & yeast breads, examples, how each creates volume, what is produced by fermentation?

A

Air, steam, and CO2 are all used to leaven, air pockets are essential in good leavening
Baking powders and bakins soda by the reaction with an acid also works
Quick Breads: leavened primarily by chemical agents, steam or air

60
Q

Inspection & Grading – in general, what are differences? Mandatory? Voluntary? Department
responsible for meats, eggs, milk?

A
Voluntary grading (USDA), by bacterial count, A products pasteurized
Mandatory grading (Public Health Service), interstate commerce
61
Q

Poultry – why is there dark and white meat?

A

White vs. Dark meat = amount of myoglobin

62
Q

Differences between quick breads and yeast breads?
