188
When starch starts to swell due to increased water, this is called:
gelatinization
189
what is the process of gelatinization?
cell takes up water. cells swell in size, and water inserts itself between dry starch. water hydrogen bonds with the starch molecules. this swelling and hydrogen bonding leads to the loss of crystallinity.
190
when cooking rice, this happens:
gelatinization
191
What are some differences between long grain, short grain, and medium grain rice?
Long grain: - example: basmati - compact - can fluff up and easily separate - main polymer: AMYLOSE (than amylopectin) = amylose is leaner - this makes it more compact Short grain rice: - example: sushi rice - stickier, chewier - main polymer: amylopectin (branched, not as lean)
192
What are the 2 major starch polymers?

198
maltese cross can only be seen with
polarized light microscopy
199
how do you monitor a change in starch crystallinity?
polarized light microscopy
200
how do you know you've reached the end of gelatinization?
when birefringence/crystallinity is lost
201
What are the factors that influence the viscosity of a product?
1) chemical composition of starch 2) fat 3) sugar 4) acids 5) stirring and agitation
202
how does the chemical composition of starch impact viscosity?
- whether a starch has more amylose or amylopectin affects viscosity. - semisolid gels like cornstarch = more amylose
203
how does fat influence viscosity?
- more fat = less gelatinization = less viscosity - fat is hydrophobic. if you mix it with starch, it will coat the starch, stopping water from coming through --> less swelling/gelatinization. - BUT you will still get thickness
204
how does sugar influence viscosity?
- more sugar = less gelatinization - this is because sugar = hydrophillic - binds to water, so water is not available to hydrogen bond to starch. - BUT there is still increased viscosity because of moisture, heat, and agitation. just not as much. - ALSO, SUGAR HELPS MAINTAIN THE THICKNESS THAT YOU DO GET

how does acid influence viscosity?
- more acid (like lemon juice = less gelatinization - acid hydrolysis of the glycosidic bonds leads to shorter polymers, that have more water solubility --> acid thinning. - if you add vinegar early in the experiment, wont have much effect. only matters if you add it after the starch is fully gelatinized - if add acid after starch is gelatinized, starch would be swollen, no more bifringence, so the glycosidic bonds are available to be hydrolcized by acid. - WHEN THINKING ABOUT ACIDS, THINKING ABOUT THE HYDROLYSIS OF THE GLYCOCIDIC LINKAGES
206
how does stirring/agitation affect viscosity?
- stirring = leads to increased viscosity | - agitation = leads to decreased viscosity = SHEARING. (the swollen starch granules are delicate).
207
too much agitation of starch granules can lead to:
shearing
208
What are 3 examples of separating agents?
1) cold water - mix starch with cold water before adding it to hot liquid 2) fat - mix starch with fat to separate flour particles and heat briefly 3) sugar - mix starch with sugar to separate starch granules
209
why does lumping of starch happen?
it happens when dry starch is mixed with warm/hot water. - when starch granules take up hot water, it hydrates the outer surface making it sticky. it holds they dry starch on the interior. - if you use cold water, it wont hydrate the surface, so it will let them stay separate from eachother.
210
What is a roux?
mixture of oil with flour/starch.
211
If you are making a white sauce, what would you use as your separating agent?
fat (a roux)
212
if you want to make gravy but dont want to roast something and use the fat drippings, what would you do?
dextrinization! use dry heat to brown the flour. - the dry heat will break down the starch polymers (amylose and amylopecti) into shorter dextrin units. - dextrin units have more solubility compared to amylose and amylopectin - but if just using dextrinization, need to be careful with thickness
213
what are dextrins?
short units of starch polymers | - made in dextrinization (when making gravy, using dry heat to brown flour)
214
dextrins have _____ solubility than amylose/amylopectin
MORE
215
puddings will most likely take advantage of ____ as a separating agent
sugar
216
what is the problem with storing starch thickened products?
usually, when you cool something, it will increase viscosity. - what were once short layers of overal turn to long layers of overap
217
why is there increased opacity when cooling starch products?
- more overlap and more hydrogen bonding
218
what happens when you cool product in fridge for a cojuple days
separation of moisture from the starch. the mositure that was once stuch in the short areas of overlap has been released, which is why it now sits on top
219
what is syneresis?
the separation of moisture in starch mixtures
220
What are the main classifications of wheat?
1) colour - red or white (reflects pigment of bran) 2) protein starch structure - hard vs. soft 3) planting season - winter wheat vs. spring wheat
221
What is the difference between hard vs. soft wheat?
hard wheat - 12-14% protein - high degree of association between protein + starch - ex: bread flour, montreal bagels soft wheat - 7-9% protein - low degree of association between protein + starch - ex: cake flour
222
What is the difference between spring vs. winter wheat?
spring wheat - plant in spring, harvest in fall - needs more moisture to grow - grown in prairies Winter wheat - plant in fall, harvest in spring - grown in Ontario - main wheat in Southern states
223
what is the main type of wheat in north america?
Hard red winter wheat | - used in all purpose flour
224
What type of wheat is used for pasta making?
durum wheat - is a spring wheat
225
What type of wheat is used to make loaves of bread?
Hard red winter wheat
226
What type of wheat is used to make firmer, chewier things, like montreal bagels, and bread flour?
hard, red, spring wheat
227
what is soft red winter wheat used for?
- cakes and pastry flour - low protein - dont need same amount of gluten for cakes
228
What are white wheats used for?
noodle making (ie durum wheat)
229
What is triticale?
a cross between rye and wheat. | Has drought tolerance
230
Which microbe is heat stable?

231
which microbe is heat sensitive?

circumvallate papillae
238
which papillae are on sides of tongue?
filiform papillae
