Discussion: Part 1 Starch plays a vital role in providing the metabolic energy that enables the body to perform its different functions. Starch is also one of the most important raw and natural materials for the food industry. At the point when starch is warmed with water, granules ingest the water, and swell. In the long run they burst and the internal piece of the granule spills out to structure a thick gel. This is the thing that happens when a gravy or sauce is made. This procedure is called gelatinisation. In bread making not as much water is included as when making a gravy or sauce, and gelatinisation is not complete, the starch granules swell, and numerous do not burst to structure a gel. This structures a system of bloated starch granules …show more content…
This can be shown by the changes in characteristics for example, crystallite melting, loss of birefringence, granular swelling, viscosity development and solubilization. The complete gelatinization of a population of starch granules will take place over a range of temperature and the temperature of initial gelatinization will depend on the type of starch granules. The first step is the starch is gradually heated at a moderate temperature until there are physical changes to the starch solution. At the apparent temperature, the water absorption will suddenly increase leading to an increase in volume of starch granules. Polysaccharide that is released from the starch granules are amylose. Amylopectin which has branched properties will maintain inside the partially disrupted granules. Granule swelling and disruption will cause an increase in viscosity. Then, there is a loss of birefringence, which is where the characteristic Maltese cross patterns constructed when local starch is illuminated with plane polarized light. Physical characteristics that are seen show that the process of gelatinization is occuring with the initial
2.13 Gelatin Liquefaction A gelatin deep was deep stabbed and incubated. After incubation the tubes were placed in 4ºC for 30 minutes. The cultures were then examined to determine if gelatinase was solid or liquified 2.14 Oxidase

In the short story, by Ethan Canin, “Star Food,” a boy named Dade is faced with struggles with his parents that have different points of views as his mother is an optimistic woman that wants Dade to keep dreaming. On the other hand, Dade’s father who is a realist wants Dade to carry the name and own Star Food after his father, he also wants Dade to work in store efficiently. They both wanted different things for his future, but everything changes when a poor, thieving woman enters their lives and steals from their store. The biggest question in “Star Food” is why Dade let the woman go. I believe Dade let the woman go because he felt like he wasn’t cut out for the life his father lived, and wanted to be more distinct than his strict father.
Starch solution is then placed into the test tube at a quantity of 5 mL. 5 drops of Lugol’s Iodine solution is added to the test tube. If the color changes, then it is known that starches are present in the solution. Proteins are next tested. In order to do this, 5 mL of gelatin solution is added to the test tube. 10 drops of Biuret’s reagent are added to test for protein.
Which will make the dough to rise, and the alcohol produced mostly evaporates from the dough during the baking process. As fermentation occurs each yeast cell forms a centre around which carbon dioxide bubbles form. Each of the bubbles is surrounded by a thin film of gluten form cells inside the dough piece. When these cells fill with gas the dough is increased in size. During rising, if any large gas holes formed, they will be released by kneading.
This is due to the side chains of dissociable and polar groups attached to the amino acids in the gelatin (2). Heat can also plays a factor in how quickly these side chains can be separated from the structure and dissolved. Certain functional groups that resided on the amino acid chains of the gelatin
The iodine test determines the presence of starch in biological materials. It is predicted that, if starch is not present, the solution with iodine remains yellow. However, if starch is present the solution with iodine becomes a blue-black colour. Plants have starch as the storage polysaccharide (glucose units held together by glycosidic bonds) while animals have the equivalent of glycogen. In this experiment, the dark blue colour is visible because of the helical amylose and amylopectin reacting with iodine (Travers et al., 2002).
Food is required in order to live as well as maintain a healthy lifestyle. Potassium, fiber, fat, calories, sodium, along with a bunch of vitamins are required for human body. Calories give us vitality to move around and do our day to day work. From past food industry in United States has grown so much.
Uncontrolled Environmental conditions Atmospheric conditions The controlled variable Concentration of amylase was kept under control by measuring the amount of amylase used and also it was made sure the percentage of amylase used was 1%. The Amount of amylase/starch used were kept to 5cm3 at all times. Materials needed Beakers Bunsen burner Test tube Thermometer Stopwatch Test plate Glass rod Starch Amylase solution Water bath Iodine solution. Test tube holder Labels Marker Procedure First 5 test tubes were taken and labeled with numbers from 1 to
Starch was used as a substrate and a calorimeter to detect the light absorbance to confirm enzymatic breakdown and its blockage by copper
Hypothesis: If we add pineapple and meat tenderizer to the gelatin, then it will not congeal. Materials needed: Gelatin, Fresh and canned pineapple, Meat tenderizer, Beakers, Cold and boiling water, a timer, 4-5 bowls, 4-5 test tubes and a rack, and a few spoons. STEPS Step 1.
What is Processed Food? The term ‘processed food’ applies to any food that has been changed from its natural state in some way, either for safety reasons or convenience. Some foods need processing to make them safe, such as milk, which needs to be pasteurized to remove harmful bacteria. Other foods need processing to make them suitable for use, such as pressing seeds to make oil.
Everyday billions of people all of the world decide how they will provide breakfast, lunch, and dinner for themselves and/or their families. People enjoy gathering around food for all types of celebrations, football games, family gatherings, meetings, and more. Food is an absolute necessity in our lives as it is the fuel for our bodies and everyone has the choice to cook meals within their homes each day or they have the choice of eating out at a restaurant. In the time we are living in today there are a lot more restaurants available than there was 50 years ago and the number continues to rise. Both eating out and eating at home have advantages and disadvantages
The experiment shall use several concentrations of sucrose solution and a substance known as Methylene blue. A piece of potato/ carrot shall be placed in a boiling tube and the solution shall be poured into it. This tube shall have Methylene blue added into it. After incubation some of this solution shall be taken out with a pipette and inserted into a separate boiling tube containing the same sucrose solution however this solution shall be known as the pre-incubated solution. The drop shall be watched so as to see if the density of the water and concentration of sucrose has increased or not, displaying the water
CHAPTER I INTRODUCTION 1.1 Background Hunger is still a major concern in health issues. Hunger causes malnutrition, malnutrition and others. Famine kills more people than TB, HIV / AIDS and Malaria. A quarter of children born in developing countries are underweight.
