Midterm Flashcards
Hydrophilic
water loving
Polar
attracted to one end or the other
solvent
dissolve other substances
scalding
heat liquid to near boiling point
atmospheric pressure
boiling depends on the amount of pressure around a liquid. The weight of the air above up pushes down due to gravity. THE MORE AIR ABOVE YOU, TH EMORE PRESSURE. Boiling happens when water molecules have enough energy to spread out and form bubbles. With the increased pressure, the molecules of water are pushed closer together thus taking more energy (heat) to get them boiling.
vapor pressure
the pressure of the water molecules, leaving a liquid in the form of steam, pushing against the atmospheric molecules. Reduces the amount of pressure felt by the water. When vapor pressure=atmospheric pressure, boiling happens. VAPOR PRESSURE MAKES IT EASIER FOR BOILING BUBBLES TO FORM. Different substances have different vapor pressures and boiling points because the molecules are attracted to each other with different strengths.
Boiling point
the point at which the molecules within a substance can spread out using enough energy to form bubbles.
gluten
only two proteins, makes food chewy, kinda like glue, binds food together. Creates webs inside dough and makes it stretchy, forming pockets when it bakes making bread spongy and fluffy.
elastin
protein forming connective tissue. Very hard to break down, breaks down best with moist heat cooking methods.
myosin
muscle fibers that contract muscle
collagen
responsible for skin strength and elasticity, like elastin, hard to break down.
msds
material data safety sheet, provides health and safety information of products
latent heat
phase change, temperature remains the same until the phase changes again
sensible heat
When you heat a substance just to increase the temperature of the substance, without changing it’s phase then the heat is called sensible heat.
denaturation
when proteins or nucleic acids unravel from heat or chemicals
gel
liquid strapped inside of a solid
sol
a colloid that pours or a solid dispersed in a liquid
colloidal dispersion
In colloidal dispersion one substance is dispersed as very fine particles in another substance called dispersion medium.
solution
the liquid that the solvent is dissolved in
law of conservation of mass
must retain same amount of mass even through phase changes. Total amount of energy leaving plant.
law of conservation of energy
must retain same amount of energy even through phase changes. Total amount of energy entering the plant.
bound water
in jams for instance, the sugar molecules have chemically bound to the available water molecules, then they are not available for bacteria to use and they cant grow.
free water
water that is not chemically bound to anything
entrapped water
water that has been trapped in proteins like amylose which then forms a gel
unit operations
flow chart of processing, heat transfer, drying, evaporation, mechanical separating, size reduction, mixing, shaping, extruding. Conservation of energy. can be as large or small as you want. Raw materials put in, finished product comes out.
freezing point
freezing point depression, when a substance changes phases
measurement conversion
4 grams = 1 teaspoon. 3 teaspoons in one tablespoon, 16 tablespoons in one cup. 192 grams in one cup
