201
Q

What are the factors that influence the viscosity of a product?

A

1) chemical composition of starch
2) fat
3) sugar
4) acids
5) stirring and agitation

202
Q

how does the chemical composition of starch impact viscosity?

A
  • whether a starch has more amylose or amylopectin affects viscosity.
  • semisolid gels like cornstarch = more amylose
203
Q

how does fat influence viscosity?

A
  • 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
Q

how does sugar influence viscosity?

A
  • 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
205
Q

how does acid influence viscosity?

A
  • 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
Q

how does stirring/agitation affect viscosity?

A
  • stirring = leads to increased viscosity

- agitation = leads to decreased viscosity = SHEARING. (the swollen starch granules are delicate).

207
Q

too much agitation of starch granules can lead to:

A

shearing

208
Q

What are 3 examples of separating agents?

A

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
Q

why does lumping of starch happen?

A

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
Q

What is a roux?

A

mixture of oil with flour/starch.

211

A

212
Q

if you want to make gravy but dont want to roast something and use the fat drippings, what would you do?

A

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
Q

what are dextrins?

217
Q

why is there increased opacity when cooling starch products?

A
  • more overlap and more hydrogen bonding
218
Q

what happens when you cool product in fridge for a cojuple days
