#1
Front (Question)

How to do flavor quality evaluation? (4 ways)

Back (Answer)

• sensory evaluation • peroxide value • thiobarbituric acid test • gas chromatographic analysis of volatile compounds

#2
Front (Question)

2 things needed for sensory eval?

Back (Answer)

• trained people • controlled temp and environment

#3
Front (Question)

Peroxide value: - addition of ____A______ and _______B______ in an organic solvent to oil 1) A + B –> salt + _C__ 2) ROOH + 2 C –> ____ + _____ + __D___ 3) D (what color) + ____________ –> ____ + 2 _____ (color?)

Back (Answer)

A: potassium iodine B: acetic acid C: hydroiodic acid ROOH + 2 HI –> ROH + I2 + H2O I2 (purple) + sodium thiosulfate –> Na2S4O6 + 2 NaI (no color)

#4
Front (Question)

what color is the we react TBA and malondialdehyde?

Back (Answer)

red!

#5
Front (Question)

what is gas chromatographic analysis of volatile compounds?

Back (Answer)

gas syringe sucks gas from oil –> gas is put through gas chromatography –> generates figure with peaks!

#6
Front (Question)

increase hours of light exposure = increase/decrease size of 2,4 decadienals in GC?

Back (Answer)

increase!

#7
Front (Question)

Does soybean or corn oil have faster degradation?

Back (Answer)

soybean bc more omega 3!

#8
Front (Question)

Flavor stability measurement: what is active oxygen method? - more O2 sample takes = more _________ it makes –> measure weight!

Back (Answer)

O2 passing at controlled rate at 98°C into sample at 2.33 mL/sec until it becomes rancid - more hydroperoxide it makes

#9
Front (Question)

what is deep fat frying?

Back (Answer)

process of immersing food in hot oil

#10
Front (Question)

Deep fat frying: - combination of cooking and dehydrating of food produces unique fried foods by simultaneous ______ and _______ transfer - flavor compounds are formed and retained in a ____________ on the food

Back (Answer)

• heat and mass • crips crust

#11
Front (Question)

4 physical changes of oil during deep-fat frying

Back (Answer)

• thickening of oil (increase in viscosity) • decrease of interfacial tension • increase in density • increase of specific heat

#12
Front (Question)

4 chemical changes during deep fat frying

Back (Answer)

• formation of flavor • flavor stability and quality changes • changes in color and texture of fried foods • nutritional changes

#13
Front (Question)

4 chemical reactions in frying oil

Back (Answer)

• hydrolysis of TG • oxidation • polymerization (FR from oxidation) • pyrolysis

#14
Front (Question)

2 noteworthy compounds formed in deep fat frying conditions

Back (Answer)

• hexyl benzene • 2,4 decadienal

#15
Front (Question)

high temp in deep fat frying can also cause _____________

Back (Answer)

isomerization!

#16

sticky stuff on your pan after frying = _____________ - btw what?

Back (Answer)

• dimerization • 2 acyl groups of same TG or of 2 dif TG
