Charcuterie

Forcemeats
A preparation made from uncooked ground meats, poultry, fish or shellfish that is seasoned and then emulsified with fats
Used as the primary ingredient to make pâtés, terrines, galantines and sausages

Fat Emulsification
To ensure proper emulsification of a forcemeat:
The ratio of fat to other ingredients must be precise

25.       What is the basic different between Saturated fatty acids & Unsaturated fatty acids?

Saturated fatty acids in which the hydrocarbon chain is saturated with hydrogen.

Unsaturated fatty acids in which the hydrocarbon chain is not saturated with hydrogen and therefore has one or more double bonds.

26.       Effect of heat :As fats are heated there are three temperatures at which noticeable changes take place. Describe it ?

(A) MELTING-POINT

 Fats melt when heated.  Since fats are mixtures of triglycerides they do not have a distinct melting-point but melt over a range of temperature.  The temperature at which melting starts is called the slip point.  Most fats melt at a temperature between 30°C and 40°C.  The melting-point for oils is below normal air temperature.  The more double bonds the lower the melting point.

(B) SMOKE-POINT

 When a fat or oil is heated to a certain temperature it starts to decompose, producing a blue haze or smoke and a characteristic acrid smell.  Most fats and oils start to smoke at a temperature around 200°C.  In general, vegetable oils have a higher smoke-point than animal fats.  Decomposition of the triglycerides produces small quantities of glycerol and fatty acids.  The glycerol decomposes further producing a compound called acrolein.  This decomposition is irreversible and, when using a fat or oil for deep frying, the frying temperature should be kept below the smoke-point.  Smoke-point is a useful measure when assessing the suitability of a fat or oil for frying purposes.  Repeated heating of a fat or oil or the presence of burnt food particles will reduce the smoke-point.  Repeated beating will also produce oxidative and hydrolytic changes in the fat and result in the accumulation of substances giving undesirable flavours to the foods cooked in the fat.

( C ) FLASH-POINT 

When a fat is heated to a high enough temperature, the vapours given off will spontaneously ignite.  This temperature is known as the flash-point.  For corn  oil the flash-point is 360°C.  A fat fire should never be put out with water; this will only spread the fire.  The heat should be turned off and the oxygen supply cut off by covering the container of burning fat with a lid or blanket.

27.       PUFA stands for?

polyunsaturated fatty acids

28.       Can you explain in detail about Margarine?

Margarine is an emulsion of water in fat.  The fat is a blend of refined vegetable oils, a portion of which has been hardened by hydrogenation to produce the desired plasticity in the final product.  Fish oils and animal fats may also be incorporated in the blend.  The hydrogenation is carried out by heating the oil in large sealed vessels under pressure.  Hydrogen is bubbled into the oil and finely divided nickel, which is subsequently removed by filtration, is required as a catalyst.  The oil blend is mixed with the water phase, which is skimmed milk,  soured under controlled conditions to give the desired flavour to the product.  Artificial colouring, salt and vitamins A and D are then added.  In Britain these vitamins must be added by law.  This law in necessary because margarine often replaces butter in the diet and butter is an important source of vitamins A and D.  The emulsion is formed in a machine called a votator, in which mixing and cooling occur together, and a fat of the desired consistency is produced.

29.       What is meant by Lard ?

Lard is fat extracted from pigs.  The extraction is carried out by heating or “rendering”.  Lard is almost 100% pure fat

30.       How Butter is made ?

Butter is made by churning pasteurized cream.  During churning the cream becomes more viscous and finally a mass of solid butter is produced.  The liquid by-product, known as buttermilk, is removed and the butter is mixed to give the desired consistency.  Salt and colouring matter may be added at this stage, although some butter is sold unsalted.

The churning or agitation process reverses the emulsion.  Cream is an emulsion of fat globules dispersed in a water phase.  During churning the fat globules aggregate and form a solid phase which is interspersed by small water droplets.  Butter is therefore a water-in-fat emulsion. 

31.       What are the Fat-soluble vitamins?

vitamins A, D and E.

32.       What are the basics types of Cheeses ?

            Fresh Cheeses

            Soft Cheeses

            Semi-hard Cheeses

            Hard Cheeses

            Blue Cheeses

33.       WHAT IS CHEESE ?

            Cheese is the curd of or the fresh or matured product obtained by enzyme activity and subsequent separation of whey by drainage, after coagulation of milk, cream, partly skimmed  milk, butter milk or a combination of these bases.

34.       Word cheese is derived from?

The present word cheese is derived from the old English word "Cese" and "Chiese" from the Latin "Caseus". The equivalent words in German" Kase", and French "Fromage", in Spain it is called "Queso", and in Italy "Fromaggio".

35.       Word 'Chocolate'  is derived from?

The word 'Chocolate' comes from the Mayan word xocoatl,

36.       Word ' cocoa '  is derived from?

word 'cocoa' from the Aztec cacahuatl.

1842.

38.       What is English name of “Le Gibier”

Games

39.       what are the basics two types of  “HONEY”

Heather honey or lavender honey

40.       What are the uses of honey in cooking?

Honey plays a major role in patisserie, being used in gingerbread, nonnettes (small round cakes of iced gingerbread), croquets, crisp almond biscuits(cookies), oriental cakes and various types of confectionery. Grog, egg nogg and certain liqueurs also contain honey and it is used instead of saltpeter in pickling brine for fine delicatessen meats.

41.       What are the pointes to remember While Choosing Honey

When choosing the type of honey to use, there are three factors to consider: aroma, flavor, color and body. The flowers from which the nectar is gathered influence aroma and flavor. Color can also be attributed to the flower, and varies from nearly clear to very dark. Body depends on 1) floral source and 2) how the honey is extracted from the comb and blended.
