Broken down by bacteria in large intestine

24
Q

Insoluble fiber

A

keeps bowls regular

25
Q

resistant starch

A

promotes the growth of healthy bacteria

26
Q

Complete proteins

A

Contains essential amino acids

The amino acids promote growth and repair within the body

27
Q

Incomplete proteins

A

Mainly from plants sources, these lack one or more amino acids
Sources from oats, peas, beans and nuts

28
Q

Fats

A

Solid at room temperature
butter

Liquid at room temp
olive oil

29
Q

Saturated fat

A

They are present in fats that are solid at room temp

Mainly from animal origin

30
Q

Unsaturated fat

A

Present in plants and vegetable oils
Found in peanuts, olive, seeds and oils
Can be monounsaturated or polyunsaturated

31
Q

Trans fat

A

Created artificially

32
Q

Conduction

A

Direct contact with a heat source

Dry frying

33
Q

Convention

A

Heat transferred by circulation or movement of the heated parts of a liquid or gas
Pie in the oven

34
Q

Radiation

A

Heat is transferred by rays
Don’t microwave bread it becomes soggy and relies on moisture
Disadvantage is it doesn’t cause food to brown

35
Q

Denaturation

A

When preparing foods like meat the protein molecules undergo a permanent change
Occurs when heat is applied

36
Q

Coagulation

A

Is a form of denaturation and occurs when there is a permanent change in the protein from a liquid into a thick mass as a result of heat or the addition of acids
Eg poaching a egg

37
Q

Gelatinsation

A 
Is the process in which starch granules absorb liquid in the presence of heat and thicken the liquid forming a gel
1.Starch-flour
2.Liquid-water/milk/stock
3.dry heat 
Eg rice, jelly, gravy and cake
38
Q

Dextrinisation

A

Starch+dry heat making toast

39
Q

Carmelisation

A

Sugars in food are required creme brulee, toffee when dry heat is applied

40
Q

Enzymatic browning

A

Enzymes in cut fruit and veg react with the air to turn them brown. No affect on flavor
Eg apple, banana and pear

41
Q

Malliard reaction

A

Reaction when protein and reducing sugars are applies to dry heat
Eg meat and bacon

42
Q
