test 3 Flashcards
Generally not consumed, but can be processed into fiber supplements
husk
bran is a good dietary source of
fiber and minerals
basis for all flours
endosperm
Major nutritive contribution to endosperm
complex carbs (starch)
Contains unsaturated fats, vitamins, minerals
germ
what is the difference between whole grain flour and refined grain flour
WHOLE GRAIN FLOUR INCLUDES GERM, BRAN, AND ENDOSPERM
uses of cereal grains
flour, pasta, breakfast cereal, alcoholic beverages
pasta is made predominantly from
starch and water
list 3 types of whole grains
whole wheat, brown rice, whole grain oats
replacement of nutrients lost during processing; putting micronutrients back in
enrichment
list gluten containing grains
wheat, barely, rye
adding nutrients that weren’t there before
fortification
what Is not inherently gluten containing
oats
these crops don’t have any risk of being contaminated with gluten
GFCO
Most common method of preparation of cereal grains
the absorption method
preparation of cereal grains can be influenced by
presence/absence of bran
pH of water
desired tenderness
form of grain
ideal dry storage condition
Cool, dry place
Airtight wrappings
Will keep for 6-12 months when stored properly
• What types of grains require refrigeration?
Whole grains
Cooked grains
• What types of grains are appropriate to freeze?
Cooked, whole grains
Should not freeze uncooked grains due to protein denaturation
pasta is Generally made from semolina, which is derived from _____________
durum wheat
Higher the _____ of durum wheat, the better quality the pasta
protein content
durum is higher in WHAT, which provides good color
carotenoids
type of pasta that contains eggs
noodles
6 types of pasta
noodles, whole wheat, flavored, high protein, fresh, couscous
enrichment - replacing something lost
fortification- adding something new (only add back micronutrients)
KNOW
proper storage of pasta
dry-Tightly wrapped; cool
fresh-In the refrigerator
Refrigerated shelf life is around 1 week.
flours provide
structure, texture, and flavor
Starch, strengthens baked items, and contributes to crumb, which is influenced by
number of air cells
degree of starch gelatinization
Amount of protein coagulation
During baking, starch is broken down into 3 things
amylose, maltose, and glucose
contributes to firming of flour mixture
gluten
The ability of a baked product to rise is directly related to
protein content
purpose of gluten formation
flour is mixed with water; gliadin and glutenin combine to make gluten; gluten is elastic which allows it to expand with pressures of air, steam and CO2
expands and stretches gluten strands
kneading
Opening an oven door frequently?
steam and air escape from gluten which can cause the product to collapse
The greater the protein content the more water will be absorbed
hydration
what happens to excessive kneading in gluten formation
breaks down gluten strands so it becomes sticky and lumpy dough
Process by which the endosperm of a grain is ground into a fine powder
flour milling
where the bran and germ are removed in flour milling
breaking
flour is moved through fans to remove any additional bran (flour milling)
purifying
reduction rollers grind the product into flour
reducing
into streams based on particle size
sifting
based on the sifting results
classifying
3 types of wheat flour
whole wheat flour
bread flour- higher in gluten
white flour
what is the benefits of bread flour?
can take over-kneading
white flour that is ideal for pasta
durum
white flour that has lower protein content, higher starch content, treated with chlorine gas
cake flour
improves crumb/flavor, browns crust
milk
sweetens, increases volume, adds moistness, color
sugar
add structure, help leavening, improve color and flavor
eggs
hydrates flour, gelatinizes starch, serves as a solvent
liquid
tenderizes, increases volume, contributes to structure, flakiness, adds flavor, color, increases resistance to staling
fat
adds flavor, firms dough, improves volume/texture/crumb, prolongs shelf life
salt
increases volume, contributes to crumb/texture/flavor
leavening
during the malliard reaction..
milk
lactose + whey/casein = browning
3 types of leavening
Physical- air and/or steam
Biological- yeast, bacteria
Chemical- baking soda or baking powder
3 types of yeast
dry
fresh
Instant, quick-rising, fast-acting
