Q

if the HLB is between 7-9, how are the surface activity properties

A

very high but there will be coalescence

24
Q

What are the drawbacks of the HLB?

A

1- don’t take into acount the functional properties of the surfactant in various environments 2- the HLB depends on the oil type 3- no information on the type or amount of surfactant

25
Q

T or f : the surface activity of the monomers is always higher than the surface activity of the micelles

A

false it depends

26
Q

Each surfactant will organize in different ways depending on :

A

1- chemical structure of the surfactant
2- interactions of the surfactant molecule
3- nature of the continuous phase
4- temperautre

27
Q

What is the critical micelle concentration?

A

the concentration at which there is micelle formation

28
Q

In which case would you want to be over the critical micelle concentration

A

when you want to be able to disperse/ encapsulate hydrophobic flavors

29
Q

What happens below the critical concentration

A

the monomers will aggregate into monomers

30
Q

When you have ____ ionic strenght, you will have a higher CMC. Explain

A

high.
because the electrostatic repulsion between the micelles formation decrease the micelle formation

31
Q

True or false : you will get more micelle formation when you have a surfactant that is more hydrophobic

A

true

32
Q

The CMC decreases when the hydrophobicity ___

A

decreases

33
Q

**** when you increase the concentration over the CMC the micelle size will ____

A

stay constant, it is the number of micelles that will increase

34
Q

T or F : the shape and size of the micelles will never change because of the CMC

A

true

35
Q

What is the packing parameter p

A

a parameter that will give the type of association we will have between the monomers

36
Q

what is the phase inversion temperature

A

a temperature at which you will have inversion of the micelles

37
Q

What is the kraft point

A

it is a point at which the solubility of the monomers is equal to the solubility od the micelles.

38
Q

What is the bancroft’s rule

A

a rule that states that the phase in which the surfactant is most soluble will form the continuous phase of the emulsion.

39
Q

a water soluble surfactant should stabilize ____ emulsions

A

oil in water

40
Q

an oil soluble surfactant should stabilize a ____ emulsions

A

water in oil

41
Q

what is the cloud point ?

A

a temperautre at which we start having cloudness in a product

42
Q

*** exam : what are the three categories of products used to reduce the caloric content of fat in foods

A

1- fat mimetic or replacement
2- fat extender
3- fat substitutes

43
Q

***exam : what is a fat mimetic?

A

it is a non-fatty substance that can replace some of the fat properties.

44
Q

** exam : what is a fat extender ?

A

it is a system ingredients used in combination with standard fats to acheive reduction of fat

45
Q

** exam : what is a fat substitute ?

A

it is a fat that can’t be digested by the lipases so it doesn’t provide as much calories as regular fat

46
Q

what are the 4 mechanisms by which fat mimetic ingredients act to provide fat texture?

A
  1. entaglement
  2. network gels
  3. particle gels
  4. particle gel aggregates
47
Q

what are entanglement

A

it is a mechanism by which there is a fat mimetic because of the production of a slippery texture and viscosity

48
Q

what are netwrok gels

A

it is a mechanisms by which there is fat mimetic by the porduction of a gel

49
Q

what are particle gels

A

it is a mechanisms by which there is the production of a fat mimetic property because of the small particles that will self assemble to mimic a gel

50
Q

what is the difference between the particle gels and the particle gel aggregates in the fat mimetic mechnanisms

A

in the case of the particle gels, it is non-continuous while in the case of the particle gel aggregate it is continuous

51
Q

what are the fat substitutes seen in class ?

A
  1. esterified propoxylated glycerol (EPG)
  2. FA partially esterified polysaccharide (PEP)
  3. Carbohydrate FA ester (CFAEs)
  4. Sucrose polyester (SPE)
  5. alkyl glycoside FA esters
52
Q

What are EPG ?

A

fat subsitute in which FA that are esterified with propylene oxide

53
Q

what is PEP

A

FA partially esterified polysaccharide. The polysaccharide is esterified with a fatty accid

54
Q

What are carbohydrate fatty acid esters ?

A

carbohydrate that are esterified with fatty acids. one example would be sucrose fatty acid esters. They are non digestible

55
Q

Are PEP digestible ?

A

non digestible and non absorbable

56
Q

Are EPG digestible?

A

yes, slightly
