Egg white proteins begin to coagulate at C, the egg yolk coagulates at C. Due to their ability to coagulate, the proteins in eggs are used in some recipes to together other ingredients, for example, vegetables in a quiche flan, a breadcrumb or batter coating on the outside of some fried fish, the ingredients of a fish cake or beef burger. If a food containing protein is, the coagulated protein molecules and squeeze out the water they were holding.

Activity: Gelatinisation 4h 2.2.2 Carbohydrates The statements below show the steps that occur during the process of gelatinisation. Study them carefully and put them in the correct order in which they happen, (1 to 8). a e Chapter 4: Functional and chemical properties of food 116 126 When starch granules are put into water and then heated, at about 60 C they start to absorb the water, which causes them to swell up and get bigger. This makes the sauce start to thicken, because there is less room for the swollen granules to move around. b At about 80 C, the starch granules are so swollen that they start to burst and release starch molecules into the surrounding liquid. It is important to stir the sauce regularly as it is heating up, to prevent the starch granules from staying at the bottom of the liquid, where they would swell up, stick together and cause the sauce to have a lumpy texture. f These released starch molecules form a three-dimensional (3D) network that traps water molecules and stops them moving around so much. At this point, around 100 C, the sauce completely thickens and is ready to pour out and serve. This whole process is known as gelatinisation. c g As the cooked sauce cools down, the starch molecules start to form longer chains and the water molecules stay trapped inside them, so the sauce gradually becomes a solid gel. d Starch molecules are made of thousands of glucose molecules joined together, either in long straight chains or short chains with branches. h The starch is stored in plants in tiny packets called starch granules. The size and shape of the starch granules varies in different plants. When starch granules are in put into cold water, they sink to the bottom of the pan.

1 Activity: The functional properties of fats 4j 2.2.3 Fats and oils Fill in the missing words in the paragraphs below. Shortening Chapter 4: Functional and chemical properties of food 126 140 Shortcrust pastry, and rely on fat to give them their characteristic texture. The coats the flour particles and prevents them from absorbing. This reduces the formation of development, which would cause the dough to become. Fats such as pure vegetable fats are suitable for shortening because of their water content. There are distinctive colours associated with the type of fat used, for example, butter produces a colour. gluten, crumbly, low, biscuits, water, golden, fat, elastic, shortbread Plasticity Fat can be on bread and crackers due to the plasticity of the fat. Plasticity means its ability to be and spread with light pressure. The plasticity of fats is due to their structure. All fats are a mixture of triglycerides, containing different fatty acids. The triglycerides all have different temperatures. This is why fat will soften and melt over a range of temperatures, for example, butter is very hard and so difficult to spread. When chilled the butter has little plasticity. At temperature, the butter and becomes more plastic and which means it can spread easily. fats, such as butter, ghee and solid coconut oil tend to be more at room temperature and so have plasticity. The more unsaturated fatty acids a fat contains the less solid it is and the plasticity it has. Some vegetable fat spreads are made using triglycerides with a low melting temperature, which means we can spread them as soon as they come out of the. A recipe that demonstrates plasticity is, made with butter and plain chocolate. more, chilled, spread, chocolate mousse, saturated, shaped, softens, chemical, refrigerator, melting, solid, room, less
2 Activity: The functional properties of fats 4j 2.2.3 Fats and oils Aeration Fats such as and vegetable spreads are able to trap Chapter 4: Functional and chemical properties of food 126 140 bubbles when they are beaten together with sugar when making a mixture. These fats can do this because they have. Cooking do not trap air as effectively as fats that have plasticity. When fat and sugar are together, air bubbles are trapped in the mixture. The mixture becomes in colour and the volume. The ability of fats to a mixture in this way is very important for producing a light, spongy texture in a baked cake. oils, aerate, butter, lighter, air, increases, plasticity, cake, creamed Emulsification Oil and water do not mix, but if they are forced together by thorough mixing, they stay in a suspension for a very time. If left, they will separate out, with the floating on top of the water. To stop the mixture separating out again, an must be added. One example of an emulsifier is egg yolk, as it contains.

Activity: Emulsification 4k 2.2.3 Fats and oils Chapter 4: Functional and chemical properties of food 126 140 Work in a group of four, but split into pairs. One pair should complete task A and the other should complete task B. Discuss and describe your thought processes throughout. In pairs, read the information and study the diagrams below. Then change the written information and diagram to the format described in your task (A or B) a flow diagram or a storyboard. Making butter Butter is made from milk. It contains a natural emulsifier called lecithin; an emulsifying agent keeps the food from splitting it keeps it stable. Emulsions in food Tiny fat droplets in milk are suspended in a white liquid that is made up of protein, water, carbohydrate, minerals and vitamins. When the milk is left to stand in a cool tank, the fat droplets rise to the top to form a layer of cream. The cream is skimmed (taken) off the milk. This leaves skimmed or semi-skimmed milk behind, depending on how much cream is skimmed off. The cream is churned, which means it is continuously stirred until the droplets of fat start to stick together. Gradually, as more and more of the fat droplets stick together, the cream thickens and then turns into butter. Most of the liquid which is called buttermilk is drained away. The small amount of liquid that is left forms tiny droplets within the fat. A natural emulsifier in the milk keeps these droplets suspended in the fat. From milk to butter Oil-in-water emulsion Milk Water-in-oil emulsion Butter Water Oil Task A: Create a flow diagram to demonstrate the process. Flow diagram Task B: Create an animation or storyboard for a film clip to explain what happens during the process. Storyboard After completing the task Each pair gives feedback to the other. Each pair learns from the other through the explanation of the processes. Each student should then answer questions about how butter is made.

The used for this purpose are: (CO 2 ), (a mixture of gases) and (water in a gaseous state). As the batter or dough cooks, the become set in the mixture, giving breads, cakes, scones and other baked goods a soft, sponge-like texture. Baking powder is used as a raising agent for a range of doughs and batters. It is made from a combination of alkaline and acid substances (usually and ) that react when they come into contact with moisture and warmth to produce gas bubbles. Self-raising flour is plain flour with added to it. In bread production, converts and into gas, which causes the dough to, and, which evaporates during baking. The whole process is called.
