Q

what effect does heating albumin have

A

increased viscosity and opacity

33
Q

what effect does heating have on yolk

A

viscosity increases (65C) and solidifies (70C)

34
Q

how does increasing temperature and heating time affect gel

A

strengthens it

35
Q

what does the oH of the gel depend on

A

net charge of the protein

36
Q

describe the gel at its isoelectric point

A

protein aggregates into a curd, forming an opaque gel

37
Q

describe the gel at basic pH

A

protein denatures, forming a translucent, rubbery gel

38
Q

describe the gel at acidic pH

A

poor winding capacity, forming a coarse, open gel structure

39
Q

describe the gel at pH 9

A

lots of crosslinking, forming a firm gel with high WBC

40
Q

how does dry heating affect the egg protein’s propertie

A

improves foaming, gelling, and emulsifying properties

41
Q

how is dry heating performed

A

storing the dried egg white at 80C with controlled humidity for 7-10 days, forming a partially denatured structure

42
Q

how does conjugating a protein with a polysaccharide effect the proteins properties

A

favors protein-protein interactions, so it protects the protein from thermal denaturaion and increases amphiphilic properties

43
Q

how do enzymes work

A

they bind with high specificity and lower the activation, speeding up chemical reactions

44
Q

what are oxidoreductases

A

catalyze oxidations or reductions of substrates

45
Q

what does lipoxygenase do

A

lipid oxidation - adding O to a fatty acid

Q

what does polyphenol oxidase do

A

enzymatic browning - oxidizes phenols in food

47
Q

what do hydrolases do

A

catalyzes hydrolysis of substrates using water

48
Q

what do proteases do

A

cleave the peptide bonds in proteins, affecting texture and protein modification

49
Q

what do amylases do

A

cleave glycosidic bonds in carbohydrates, affecting texture and carbohydrate modification
