Interesterification.ppt

1、Interesterification,In certain lipids the distribution of fatty acids at various positions of the triglyceride are not random. In some cases this is desirable, in other cases, randomness is desired. Exchange of fatty acids may occur at 250 C with no catalyst or at 0 C with the proper catalyst.,Inter

3、ected Interesterification Native lard is too uniform and tends to from b crystals which do not incorporate air well Randomized lard has the proper crystal structure, but is too soft. Best performance when lard contains about 10% trisaturated glycerides. It is possible to have the reaction occur at a

Results in a lard with b crystals and the proper consistency.,Crystallization,Polymorphism Polymorphic forms are solid phases of the same chemic

Randomized lard is less ordered and it is harder to form

11、 beta crystals. Beta prime incorporates more air.,Melting points (oC) of Fat crystals,Frying,Mass Transfer Water in a frying food migrates from the center to the surface. As water is removed at the surface due to heating, water is pumped to the surface. The rate of water loss and its ease of migrati

The heat of vaporization of water to steam removes much of the heat at t

13、he food/oil surface.Heat Removal As long as water is being removed at a sufficient rate, the surface of the food will not char. Subsurface water in the food will also conduct heat away from the surface and towards the center of the product.,Frying,Interior Cooking The transfer of heat to the interio
