24
Q

What is the nutrition breakdown of egg yolks?

A

(30% Fat, 18% Protein, 50% Water)

Lipids
Protei:
-Lipoprotein (Lipovittellin): Emulsifying property
-Non-Lipoprotein (Phosvitin): High in P

25
Q

What is the nutrition breakdown of egg whites?

A

White (11% Protein, 88% Water)
-Ovalbumin: Principal Protein

-Conalbumin: Fe- binding > Antibacterial Properties

-Ovomucoid: High in CHO:
Responsible for consistency of thick white

-Lysozyme: Antibacterial Properties

26
Q

What is the structure of muscle tissue?

A

*Composed of Myofibrillar Proteins (small thread like structure)

Myosin: Thick Filaments
Actin: Thin Filaments
-responsible for muscle contraction and relaxation

Actin + Myosin>Actinomyosin

27
Q

What is the structure of connective tissues?

A

(Bind muscle cells together)

Collagen + Heat >Gelatin
-sensitive to heat

Elastin + Heat> Unchanged
-heat resistant

28
Q

What is protein denaturation?

A

Unfolding of Protein Structure to Expose R-groups

29
Q

What are the causes of denaturation?

A

Heat, High or Low pH, Salt

30
Q

What are other names for denaturation?

A

Gelation, Coagulation, Curdling, Precipitation

31
Q

What is hydrolysis?

A

Cleaves peptide bonds

Can be achieved by:
Strong Acid/Base, Enzymes

32
Q

What are the 2 kinds of hydrolysis?

A

Complete Hydrolysis >AA
-Strong acid/ase with no specificity, break all peptibe bonds, have AAs

Partial Hydrolysis> Peptides
-Fragments of protein (peptides)

33
Q

What are the enzymes involved in hydrolysis?

A

Proteinases

Proteolytic Enzymes

34
Q

What is Cysteine susceptible to?

A

The SH group in cysteine is susceptible to Oxidation

forms Disulfide bonds Under oxidaiton, forms thisbond and lacks flexibility

35
Q

What is the water binding capacity?

A

Protein + Water > Hydrated Protein

Water binds to R and backbone> ↑Stability

Ovalbumin (egg white) binds readily with water

Casein is less readily hydrated

36

↑ RXN Rate

3D-Structure
-Has a 3d structure

39
Q

How are the enzymes used in the food industry produce?

A

Enzymes produced for the food industry
are rather “crude” by biochemical standards
-Means have predominant enzyme plus other enzymes or other ingredieents.

(Predominant Enzymes + Other Enzymes)

Contain:
Salt
Preservatives
Stabilizers

40
Q

What is the advantage of using enzymes in food?

A

Natural, Non-Toxic (plant, animal, microbial sources)

Specific

Mild Conditions

Low Concentration

Rate Controllable

Inactivated After Use

41
Q

What is the difference between substrate and apoenzymes?

A

Substrate:
Substance acted upon by “E”

Apoenzyme:
Protein part of “E”
-Cofactor non protein portion of enzyme

42
Q

What is the difference between a cofactor and holoenzyme?

A

Cofactor: (Coenzymes/ Prosthetic group)
Non protein portion necessary for activity

Holoenzyme:
Protein part + Non-protein part

43
Q

What are enzyme kinetics?

A

The simplest scheme for representing enzyme rxns kinetically:

E + S <>ES<>E+ P

The substrate binds to the enzyme and is converted to the product and subsequently released

Free Enzymes can then react with more substrate

44
Q

What do we assume about enzyme kinetics?

A

Assumption:
Steady State Concept: [ES] is constant

Rate of enzyme substrate formation = Rate of enzyme substrate destruction

45
Q

Does the run rate of an enzyme have an optimal ranges?

A

Max. Activity within narrow range of pH
-Max activity within narrow range oh ph

Each “E” has its own optimum pH (4-8)

46
Q

What are the optimal temp ranges for enzymes?

A

30-40oC
-optimum for most enzymes

> 40oC
-Begin to lose activity

70-80oC
2-5 mins irreversible denaturation

47
Q

What is the Q10?

A

Q10 = Rate at [(T+10)oC] / [Rate at T]

Q10 is an index of how sensitive the “E” is to temp.

Q10 = x ~ for every 10oC in temp. rate of Rxn is doubled

48
Q

What is the relationship with water activity and enzymes?

A

Measure of free water and enzymes need water for activities

↓ aw :
 ↓ E activity
 ↓ diffusion/mobility of [S] and [P]

[S] = Substrate 
[P] = Product

[S] + E  [P] as [P] ↑  Rxn. Stops
