Food Science Flashcards
olive green in ACID
pehophytin
bright green in ALKALINE
chlorophyllin (mushy)
lycopenes
antioxidants, phytochemical
yellow and orange in color –> carotenoids
carotenoids
least affected by pH changes
flavonoids
red, blue, purple
ANTHOCYANINS - greatly affected by pH
anthoxanthins / flavones
colorless, white, or yellow
anthoxanthins/ flavones
YELLOW in alkaline or when cooked n aluminum
best to heat in stainless steel
When do you wash berries and mushrooms?
just BEFORE serving
one dozen oranges =
one quart (32oz) of juice
Potatoes
phenolic compounds that cause color changes
storage of potatoes
starch changes to sugar during storage.
Old potatoes = sweeter and cook to a darker color (Maillard reaction). Softer in texture
cabbage
cook for a short time
keep lid off initially to let acid escape
cook in large amount of water
1 quart

Collagen
structural part of the tendon and surrounds the muscle
Collagen in heat
hydrolyzes to gelatin; becomes tender
Elastin
resistant to heat; little change in cooking
Vitamin source of pork
Thiamin
(High heat destroys thiamin)
Calcium sources
fish canned with bones, oysters, shrimp
Fish paste is a good source of calcium and is NON-DAIRY
pigments of meat
myoglobin
green color of pork
further breakdown of myoglobin; due to oxidation changes.
not harmful; not due to bacteria.
Aging in meat increases ….
tenderness
Enzymes used in meat increase
water holding capacity of the muscle
