mocks Flashcards
properties of starch - gelatinisation
when starch is combined Wirth liquid and is heated to 55 - 70*C the grains swell, burst and absorb the liquid around them, increasing the viscosity.
culinary application - moist heat - roux sauce, dry heat - popcorn
properties of starch - dextrinisation
when dry heat is added to starch based foods short chained polysaccharides called dextrin are formed. this causes a colour change on the surface of the food resulting in an attractive brown appearance e.g. toast
vitamin K - properties
-fat soluble
-heat stable
vitamin k - food sources
leafy green veg
cereals
oily fish e.g. sardines
vitamin k - biological functions
aids the clotting of blood
regulates the level of calcium in bones
vitamin k - effects of deficney
slow blood clotting pf ruptured blood vessel, leading to haemorrhaging
lipids - flash point
extreme overheating of lipids to 310C(fats) and 325C(oils) causes a vapour to be emitted that can spontaneously ignite
lipids - emulsion
a colloidal solution, formed when two immiscible lipids are forced to mix together.
citizens information board
provides information and advice to consumers on a broad range of areas including consumer rights, social welfare payments, family law and housing
safety symbols - conformity europeenne
indicates good comply with European safety standards
e.g. child toys
safety symbols - double insulated
indicates goods are double insulated, so they do not require a safety connection to an earth wire
e.g. toaster
safety symbols - Irish mark of electrical conformity
indicates electronic goods have chives a high safety level
lipids - functions(1)
lipids supply the body with heat and energy , helping to keep body temperature at 37*C
lipids - functions(2)
lipids form a protective layer that surrounds delicate organs e.g kidneys
lipids - function(3)
lipids provide the body with essential amino acids that cannot be obtained from the body e.g. linoleic acid
yeast - fermentation
breakdown of carbohydrate by microorganims
production of yoghurt (1)
homogenised - milk is homogenised at 30*C
production of yoghurt (2)
pasteurised - milk is apsteriused at 90*C for 15-30 minutes
production of yoghurt (3)
cooled - milk is called at 37*C to provide the ideal growth temperature for the addition of the starter culture
production of yoghurt (4)
starter culture - a starter culture of lactic acid bacteria is added
production of yoghurt (5)
fermentation - the mixture is incubated for 6-8 hours to allow the starter culture to cement. during this time ht Emily thickens due to protein coagulation and lactose is converted to lactic acid, which gives yoghurt its distinctive flavour
production of yoghurt (6)
cooled - yoghurt is cooled at 5*C to stop fermentation
production of yoghurt (7)
packaged - yoghurt is packages in containers of varying sizes e.g. 125g or 500g, made of varying materials e.g. plastic or cardboard
production of yoghurt (8)
labelled - the packaging is labelled with details including the type of yoghurt, ingredients, storage instructions, allergy advice and nutritional information
antioxidant
can counteract the damaging effect of free radicals
types of yeast
fresh yeast - crumbly texture
fast action dried yeast - most popular
calcium - dietary sources
milk
cheese
yoghurt
calcium - biological functions(1)
aids the formation of strong bones and teeth.
calcium - biological function(2)
assets blood clotting which is necessary if an injury causes damage to blood vessels
calcium - biological function (3)
aids normal muscle contraction
calcium - effects of deficiency (1)
increased risk of bone dieases, such as rickets, osteomalacia and osteoporosis and tooth decay
calcium - effects of deficiency (2)
slow blood clotting of ruptured blood vessels. this can cause haemorrhaging
calcium - effects of deficiency (3)
muscles fail to relax after contraction. this can cause muscular spasms and cramps
calcium - assist absorption (1)
vitamin d stimulates the production of calcium binding protein assisting absorption
calcium - assist absorption (2)
the hormone oestrogen, produced in the ovaries, promotes calcium absorption
calcium - assist absorption (3)
phosphorus combines with calcium, creating calcium phosphate, which is easier to absorb
calcium - assist absorption (4)
an acid environment promotes calcium absorption
