what is the role of fat
energy
nutrients
insulation
make cholesterol= essential part of cell membranes
6 of 47
what do they contain
saturated and non saturated fatty acids.
fatty acids+glycerol=tryglycerides
fatty acid chains= carbon and hydrogen
sat fa= only have 1 single c-c bonds
unsat fa= at least 1 c=c double bond
7 of 47
which type is the good type and what categories does it break into
sf= bad for health (animal sources)
uf= usually healthier (veg sources)
can be monounsaturated(1 C=C double bond) or polyunsaturated (more than 1 C=C double bond)
8 of 47
how much should we have per day
make up no more than 35% of daily intake

10 of 47
what do empty calories mean
no nutritional benefit other than energy
11 of 47
simple vs complex carbs
s= digested quickly
monosaccharides= basic sugar molecules= glucose, fructose
disaccharides= 2 mono, sucrose

complex=longer digestion
polysaccharides= made up of lots of m. joined together, starch
12 of 47
what is the Glycaemic index
rates carbs on how quickly they affect b.s. levels
13 of 47
how much carbs should we have per day
50% of our energy, most starchy, no more than 5% from free sugars

16 of 47
what does water do, how is it lost, how much should we have per day
60% of body
eliminates waste, controls body temp, aids digestion
lost through sweat, breath and urine
dehydration= slow reactions, blood thickens and increase body temp
overhydration= nausea+dilutes concentration of nutrients in blood
17 of 47
the eatwell guide
1/3 fruit and veg
1/3 starchy carbs
1/3 protein, oils and spreads, dairy
18 of 47
the healthy eating guidelines
-5 a day
-2 portions of fish a week (1 oily)
-6-8 glasses of fluid a day
-eat less sugary, salty and fatty foods
-base meals on high fibre starchy carbs
-don't skip breakfast
-get active and try to be a healthy weight
-eat less salt, no more than 6g a day
19 of 47
nutritional analysis of fats, carbs and proteins+ the formula
1g of fat= 9kcal
1g of protein= 4kcal
1g of carbs= 4kcal

nutritional content x energy value= total energy value (kcal)
20 of 47
the 4 food zones
1) cooking food at 75 kills bacteria
2) danger zone (5-63) bacteria grow and multiply quickly, optimum growth at 37
3)chilling (0-5) slows down bacterial growth
4) freezing (-18) stops bacteria growing (dormant)
21 of 47
what are ambient foods and how to preserve
food that can be safely stored at room temp

canning, vacuum packing and use chemicals
22 of 47
use by date vs best b4
safety warning (food poisoning)

quality warning (could be risky)
23 of 47
what is shortening
rub fat into flour= flour particles get waterproof coating= prevents long gluten molecules from forming when water is added to flour= dough cannot become stretchy= firm/crumbly texture
24 of 47
what is emulsification
the molecules in an emulsifier have 2 ends
hydrophyllic=water molecules bond to this side
hydrophobic= oil molecules bond to this side= holds together in stable emulsion

oil in water= milk
water in oil= butter
vinaigrettes, hollandaise (lecithin found in
25 of 47
how to stop enzymic browning
add an acid or blanch
26 of 47
primary processes in a wheat grain
harvested, cleaned, stored in dry conditions, put in hopper and crushed, sieved and removed
27 of 47
primary processes in milk
1) pasteurisation= heated quick to 72 for 15s then rapidly cooled
2) ultra heat treatment= milk heated to 135 for 1-4s then packed in sterile container
3) sterilisation= steam chamber 110 for 10-30mins
4) microfiltration= bac. turns milk sour after p, so
28 of 47
secondary process in jam
1) crushed fruit and pectin (gelling substance found in fruits)
2) pectin= jam thickens(when boiled) then set aside to cool
3) sugar draws water out of fruit (harder for mic. to grow)
4) poured in glass and sealed
29 of 47
secondary process in cheese
1) pasteurised
2) bacteria sour and thicken milk + rennet added
3) rennet= milk coagulates - solid cheese curds and whey
4) whey removed by cheddaring
5) curds pressed and left to mature
6) bacteria/ mould sometimes added for flavour

41 of 47
paired preference test vs. hedonic rating test
p= ppl given 2 slightly diff. foods= have to choose fav.
h= rate various foods using scale. the tasters usually given variety of foods to rate.
42 of 47
what are 2 diff. discrimination tests
triangle test= 3 products tasted, 2 same, 1 diff, guess the diff. one

A not A= 1 product tasted 1st, then taste 2 more and identify the 1 that is identical to 1st

can use star diagram
43 of 47
influence of marketing
special offers
celeb/brand endorsements
health claims
promote ethical values (organic)
44 of 47
conduction
how thermal energy travels through solids. In a solid, the particles are tightly packed together in fixed positions. The particles are close together, vibrating in fixed positions. As the solid is heated, thermal energy is transferred into kinetic energy
45 of 47
convection
Convection occurs when particles with a lot of heat energy in a liquid or gas move and take the place of particles with less heat energy. Heat energy is transferred from hot places to cooler places by convection.
46 of 47
radiation
Radiation is the process where heat and light waves strike. and penetrate your food through electromagnetic energy.
