16
Q

What is the difference between Fats and Oils

A 
Fats are (semi)-solid at room temperature
Oils are liquid at room temperature
17
Q

How are fat percentages defined?

A

Food industry labels fat% by weight and they like to tell you how fat isn’t there
ex: 95% Fat Free means 5% fat

18
Q

What is the recommended fat % in your daily diet?

A

<30% (+/-) by calories

19
Q

What happens to the fat % when we add water?

A

when diluting a food with water, the % fat by weight will go down
But by diluting with water does not change the % of calories from fat

20
Q

Simplesse

A 
low fat types
made from dairy and egg proteins
can be formulated as a powder
may have problems with heating
1 calorie vs. 9 calories 
"dairy protein"
21
Q

Olestre

A

low-fat types
chemically bond fatty acids onto sugar molecules
so large, they are indigectible

22
Q

Saturated acids melting point

A

high melting points

~65 degree C (fat)

23
Q

Mono-unsaturated fatty acids melting point

A

low melting point

~10 degree C (oil)

24
Q

Poly-unsaturated fatty acids melting point

A

even lower Melting point

~ -10 degree C (oil)

25
Q

Triglycerides from plants vs. animals?

Chocolate??

A

Beef: 50% sat, 50% unsat
Cocoa: 60% sat, 40% unsat

26
Q

Polymorphism

A

there are six essential polymorphic forms. The polymorphic transformation theory is based on the fact that bloomed chocolates are always found to contain the most stable VI polymorph of cocoa butter. According to this theory, bloom occurs through the uncontrolled polymorphic transformation of cocoa butter from a less stable form (form IV or V) to the most stable form (form VI)

27
Q

Cocoa butter forms how many crystals?

A

6

which is the most stable

28
Q

Temepering

A

controlled crystal formation in chocolate

29
Q

Beta crystals

A

what allows chocolate to stay solid in our hands

30
Q

You get to type 5 chocolate by…

A

heating and cooling

type 5 crystals is the best

31
Q

What are the roles of fats?

A

-energy source
-texture
-adipose
-essential fatty acids
Fat soluble vitamins: A, D, E, K
Flavor
heat transfer
fatty acid isomers (trans fat)

32
Q

Prostaglandins

A

most common essential fatty acid

33
Q

Flavor roles of fat

A
  1. storage of flavor compounds
  2. Specific for a product
  3. without fat there is little flavor
34
Q

Roles of Fat: Heat transfer

A

the large molecules do not evaporate

  • can be heated to very high tempetures
  • frying
35
Q

Marbling

A

distribution of fat throughout meat tissue

36
Q

What meat grade has the greatest amount of marbling

A

choice

37
Q

What causes the formation of “chunky butter”

A

different forms of fat crystals

38
Q

How many double bonds does a saturated fat have?

A

0
