What milk protein sets cheeses?

What is a school of thought about casein micelles?
That they have subunits or submicelles

the curd of milk, a gel of casein from which most the whey has been removed by heating, stirring and pressing
What enzyme causes aggregation of the casein micelle?
chymosin
What two things are needed to turn milk into cheese?
acid and enzyme (rennet or chymosin)
Where does the acid come from when making cheese?
comes from bacterial starter culture which produces lactic acid
Where does rennet come from?
From calves' stomach
chymosin- protease
What is cheese?
the curd of milk, a gel of casein from which most the whey has been removed by heating, stirring and pressing
What enzyme causes aggregation of the casein micelle?
chymosin
What two things are needed to turn milk into cheese?
acid and enzyme (rennet or chymosin)
Where does the acid come from when making cheese?
comes from bacterial starter culture which produces lactic acid
Where does rennet come from?
From calves' stomach
chymosin- protease
What does chymosin cleave, what is that reaction?
the hydrophilic tail of kappa-casein, which decreases each submicelle's water solubility
k-casein ---chymosin--> para-kappa-casein + macropeptide
What is whey
the liquid that remains after curds are precipitated during cheese making
water, whey protein, water soluble vitamins, lactose and minerals
What is the difference between acid whey and sweet whey?
acid whey, from cheese made by acid treatment
sweet whey, from cheese made by rennet treatment
what is butter?
water-in-oil emulsion formed by the churning of cream
What is cultured buttermilk?
milk with Streptococcus lactis, streptococcus creamoris and Lactobacillus citrovorum added, held at high temperatures until it is acidic
What is yogurt?
milk cultured with S. thermophilus and L bulgaricus
What's the difference between evaporated milk and sweetened condensed milk?
They both have water removed, but sweetened condensed milk has sucrose added, so it doesn't have to be sterilized.
What is wheat germ?
fatty portion of the wheat
embryo
fats, vitamins and protein
removed during milling
What is the aleurone cells of the wheat?
it divides bran from endosperm
removed with bran during milling
What is the endosperm made of?
protein and starch
contains cells full of starch grains embedded in a protein matrix
most of the kernel
What is the bran of wheat?
outermost layers of wheat grain
mainly cellulose and hemicellulose
removed during milling
What are the four ways wheat can be typed?
texture- soft/hard
kernel surface color- red/white
season- winter/spring
end use- common or club/durum
Process of milling flour?
blend->clean->temper->break->purifier->reduction->sift

Big Carl took boring penguins running Saturday
What are the three additives and treatments to flour?
aging/chemical oxidation
bleaching
enrichment
Aging/chemical oxidation of flour
aging increase disulfide bonds
to hasten the process, oxidants are usually used to convert SH groups to disulfide bonds
end result is dough that is stronger, less sticky and easier to handle
Bleaching flour
bleaching removes yellow xanthophylls
Enrichment of flour
addition of thiamin, riboflavin, niacin, iron and folate
What is the order of protein content of flour from lowest to highest?
Cake flour->pastry flour->all-purpose flour->bread flour -> whole wheat flour
What are the four main proteins in flour?
albumins- water soluble
globulins- soluble in salt water
gliadin- water insoluble
glutenin- water insoluble
What is gliadin
fluid and sticky
soluble in ethanol
contains disulfide bonding
What is glutenin
elastic
soluble in acid or alkali
contains disulfide bonding
What amino acid is involved disulfide bonding?
cysteine -> cystine
What is a leavening agent?
a gas (or a material used to produce a gas) that lightens dough or batter

air, steam, carbon dioxide
How can CO2 be produced in cooking?
by chemicals or fermentation
How do you leaven by air?
folding beaten egg or egg white into batter
creaming sugar into shortening used in cakes
How do you leaven with steam?
in practically all baking products
converts water to steam in baking
fast acting acid
high solubility in water
liberates a high proportion of CO2 in cold dough
lemon juice, vinegar, molasses, sour milk, cream of tartar, double acting baking powder
