Lipid organization in foods Flashcards
Adipose tissue:
Made of fat cells full of triglycerides that are removed by a lipase enzyme releasing energy into the body.
Marbleing fat
USDA prime-Lot of marbling fat, too soft and melts in your mouth kind of feeling
USDA choice- Moderate amounts of marbeling fat causes meat to be soft and chewy
USDA tough- very rigid used in meat compression
Pig diet and grading for color
2-3: very pale and white too much marbling
4-5: ideal, avg. pink and little bit of white (good blood supply and fat
6.0-dark purple-over worked, or underfed too little marbling
muscle fiber
Consists of actin and myosin which make up bundles (endomycieum) covered by periplasmic membrane which bundle up together and are surrounded up by an epimecium membrane. All membranes are covered by phospholipids are respnsible for pushing water in and out.
Composition of phosopholipids
palmitic and oleic acid
palmitic and linoleic acid
Palmitic and arachadoic acid (sometimes and only in animal tissue)
Milk
Structures- globule full of triacyglycerol molecules surrounded by a layer of phospholipids and casien michelle protein which bind to water and emulsifiy the fat in milk.
How to make whip cream
Beat the milk vigourously until air bubbles are foamed covered by casien michelles coagulated together which are also covered by phosopholipids.
How to make butter
Suck out the air from air bubbles by beating the milk even more vigorously then with whip cream and let the fat merge with one another.
Cheese
-Fat globules are located between proteins crosslinked through carboxyl groups:
Soft cheese: more fat
Hard cheese: more protein
Eggs
Yolks are full of fat bodies called granules which consist of choleserol, protein and phospholipids connected together on a spherical membrane.
