Q

What is water absorption capacity?

A

The amount of water taken up by lipids.

19
Q

________ water absorption capacity is important for the baking industry.

A

High

20
Q

Why does shortening have a higher water-absorbing capacity?

A

It contains more mono- and di-glycerides and those lipids contain more polar -OH groups

21
Q

What solvents would oil dissolve in?

Water, chloroform, toluene, alcohol

A

Chloroform and toluene

22
Q

What is creaming ability?

A

The extent to which fat, when beaten, will build up a structure of air pockets.

23
Q

True or false. The better the creaming ability, the lighter and fluffier the product.

A

True

24
Q

How does temp affect creaming ability?
