A

starch; gluten

439
Q

what is gelatinization?

A

the swelling that occurs when starch is heated in water close to the boiling point; heat dissociates the bonds so that water moves in and swells granules; friction is created causing the paste to thicken

440
Q

What is the role of sugar in starch pastes?

after a starch paste has been cooled or chilled, it may become less soluble and recrystallizes to form a solid or rigid gel; it reverts back to insoluble form on freezing or aging; the hydrogen bonds holding the gel together break and reform in an orderly crystalline fashion; recrystallization=retrogradation

444
Q

retrogradation occurs in what starches?

A

those with a high proportion of amylose

445
Q

when does a starch paste retrograde?

A

on freezing or aging

446
Q

Why does a starch paste have a grittytexture after retrogradation?

A

hydrogen bonds holding the gel together break and reform in an orderly crystalline fashion

447
Q

What is the texture of something that has retrograded?

A

gritty

448
Q

does retrogradation increase or decrease the quality of food?

A

decrease; it is undesirable

449
Q

What can be done to allow something that has retrograded to move into a gel again?

A

heat breaks the 4 bonds holding the amylose together and allows it to move into a gel again

450
Q

How can frozen products be prepared to avoid retrogradation?

A

prepare them with a starch or flour from a waxy cereal (waxy corn, sorghum, or rice)

451
Q
