FINAL REVIEW 1 (1-3) Flashcards
KCal of carb, protein, fat, alcohol
4 4 9 7
types of monosaccharides (simple carbohydrates)
pentoses, hexoses, glucose, fructose, galactose (gfg)
types of disaccharides (simple carbohydrates)
sucrose (glucose + fructose) gf
lactose (glucose + galactose) gg
maltose (glucose + glucose) gg
sugar functions
sweetness
crystallization (characteristic)
viscosity
hygroscopic (can adsorb/absorb water from environment)
preservation
Maillard (protein and glucose and heat to make brown reaction)
Caramelization (sugar decomp at high temp)
Oligosaccharides
3-10 monosacch (ex. raffinose, stachyose in legumes, inulin as prebiotic)
polysacch
chains of oligosacc: starch, cellulose, pectin, gums
increase dietary fibre, thicken foods, bind water, stabilize proteins
types of starches
amylose (linear chain) amylopectin (branched)
cellulose (plant well wall)
pectin (intercellular cement in f+v), gelling agent
gums (thicken and stabilize)
HFCS
derived from glucose hydrolyzed from corn starch
glucose mole isomerized to fructose (sweeter monosaccharide)
Proteins
made of amino acids
proteins must be broken down (hydrolyzed) to be absorbed
emulsifiers (egg yolk proteins, caseins in milk) /foaming agents (egg whites) due to amphiphillic properties
colour through maillard
thickening agent
binding agent
gelling agent (gelatin)
Function of water
flavour, vitamins, minerals may be dissolved in water
lubrication for mastication and swallowing
supports growth of BOTH spoilage and pathogenic microbes and desired food fermentation microbes
facil freeze conc (may reduce food quality and facil water removal in foods)
Proteins precipitate at their
isoelectric point: pH at which there is no net charge on the protein
aw
amount of free water to interact with microorganisms and take part in chemical and deteriorative reactions
water activity (0 to 1)
Pwater (food)/Pwater(water)
reduced with salts and sugars (tie up the moisture)
aw of microbes
bacteria (0.90)
yeasts (0.80)
molds (0.70)
Fat soluble vitamins
ADEK
Parasites
raw and undercooked foods
transmitted by water, soil, person to person
