- consists of hetero/homogeneous group fo proteins that are _____ crosslinked but contain extensive intra/intermolecular ________ bonds and free ____ groups
- if isolated and hydrated, forms a very _____ solution

A
  • hydrophobic prolamine –> alcohol
  • heterogeneous group –> NOT crosslinked but contain extensive intramolecular disulfide bonds and free SH groups
  • very viscous solution
86
Q

when glutenin and gliadin are mixed together, a ____A____ mass is formed

A
  • viscoelastic mass (dough)
87
Q

what causes unique viscoelasticity of interaction of glutenin and gliadin? explain interchange

A

interaction of glutenin and gliadin via the reaction of their S-S and S-H groups
- sulfhydryl interchange takes place via reaction of free SH groups with S-S groups to polymerize the proteins
- kneading the dough breaks the individual disulfide bonds and reforms them (glutenin and gliadin) to produce a cohesive viscoelastic mass

88
Q

viscoelastic mass is capable of trapping ____ released by ________ ______ (2 ex), thereby _______ and providing increased (______ _______)(A)
- with heat/baking, ____A____ _________, starch ________, proteins _______ and products ______

A
  • CO2
  • leavening agents (yeast, baking powder)
  • expanding and providing increased loaf volume
  • with heat/baking, loaf volume expands, starch gelatinizes, proteins denature and product sets
89
Q

are pea and bean proteins well balanced nutritionally?
- functional/cost edge compared to soy protein?

A
  • relatively well balanced
  • need some functional or cost edge to compete with soy proteins –> not many properties
90
Q

pea protein concentrates and isolates used successfully as what? (2 ish)

A
  • hamburger and sausage formulation
  • high-protein extruded snacks
    (use it as a filler)
91
Q

what are single cell proteins? include (3)
- major problem?
- good functional properties?
- limitation?

A
  • microbial sources of proteins –> bacteria, yeasts, molds
  • major problem = high nucleic acid content –> cannot be handled by our livers in excessive amounts if consumed on substantive scale –> can lead to liver damage and gout
  • poor functional properties
  • major limitation in industrialized nations, which are not short of protein per se, but looking for cheaper and more versatile forms of functional proteins
92
Q

food scientists are mainly interested in (3) for proteins

A
  • functional properties of proteins
  • nutritional quality
  • how they are affected by processing (post isolation)
