Test 3 - Starch

Quiz yourself by thinking what should be in each of the black spaces below before clicking on it to display the answer.
        Help!  

Question
Answer
What are different types of starches?   show
🗑
what is an example of a tree starch?   show
🗑
show tapioca, arrowroot, and potato  
🗑
what are examples of cereal/grain starches?   show
🗑
show use wheat flour in a roux or slurry, use cornstarch in pudding.  
🗑
show It is a polysaccharide (complex carb)consisting of amylose and amylopectin  
🗑
The varying ___________ content is responsible for texture differences in starch-containing foods (viscosity).   show
🗑
show cornstarch because it is only the starch part of the grain. The fat and protein has been removed whereas the protein still exists on wheat flour.  
🗑
If you are substituting cornstarch for wheat flour or vise versa, what ratios should be used?   show
🗑
This occurs when starch granules are heated in a liquid   show
🗑
show Heat causes hydrogen bonds holding the starch together to weaken. Water can then enter starch, and amylose comes out.  
🗑
what are examples of foods that are pre-gelatinized that make cooking at home fast?   show
🗑
show Sol  
🗑
What are examples of sol?   show
🗑
As a Sol starts to cool, it becomes a semi-solid starch paste. What is this called?   show
🗑
What does gel formation depend on?   show
🗑
show the strong bonds of amylose network trap water and it will increase the rigidity of the starch mass.  
🗑
What is it called when the gel ages and the bonds tighten between the amylose molecules. Then this leads to seepage of water out of the aging gel..?   show
🗑
show syneresis  
🗑
What are the factors influencing gelatinization?   show
🗑
show wheat vs white or how much starch is used can affect the concentration  
🗑
show sufficient amounts of water must be used for gelatinization to occur. i.e. in a bechemel milk is used (that's 87% water).  
🗑
How does temperature affect gelatinization?   show
🗑
show if prolonged heating occurs after gelatiniziation, it will decrease viscosity, and can ruin what you are making. You need to cook it until it reaches the desired thickness (do not overdo it)!  
🗑
show positive- stirring is necessary at the beginning to prevent lumps negative - continuous or vigorous stirring causes starch granules to rupture and the starch paste will thin (instead of thicken).  
🗑
How does acid affect gelatinization?   show
🗑
show 1. sugar competes with starch for water. 2. It delays the onset of gelatinization 3. increases temperature required for gelatinization  
🗑
Since sugar can affect gelatinization, what starch is commonly used for making gelatinized desserts?   show
🗑
What is dextrinization?   show
🗑
How does dextrinization work? How does it affect the viscosity?   show
🗑
show 1. roux 2. slurry 3. buerre manie 4. dry mix  
🗑
What are each of these? 1. roux 2. slurry 3. buerre manie 4. dry mix   show
🗑
show added at the end of cooking if needed to thicken something before serving  
🗑
