NUTR 119 Lecture Notes - Lecture 1: Maillard Reaction, Heat Capacity, Acculturation
Lesson 1 and 2:
When people from one ethnicity move to an area with different cultural norms,
adaptation to the new majority society begins. This is called acculturation
How would the size of a serving of food influence one of our senses and affect the taste
of the food? Appearance
For a substance to produce an odor it must be: volatile
Cultural, Economic and Preference Factors can all influence and individual's food
choices.
Flavor is the combined sense of taste and aroma.
Oil has a higher specific heat than water. This statement is false.
Functions of water include: heat transfer, chemical reactions, and universal solvent
The lowest PH → strawberries
The Maillard reaction is the name given to the process that is responsible for the
browning of the surface of meat when it is cooked.
The unraveling of protein molecules when heat or acid is applied is known as
denaturation
The chemical that is present in a habanera pepper that causes a burning sensation is
capsaician
The amount of fresh minced herb used is approximately twice that is called for with the
dried product.
Whole spices take a longer time to release flavors than ground spice when cooking
The most important seasoning used in cooking is salt
