What are polysaccharides?
High molecular weight polymers, containing many
monosaccharides
Plants:
energy storage (eg starch)
structural skeleton (eg cellulose)
Animals
energy storage (eg glycogen) maintain blood glucose
levels
exoskeleton of arthropods (eg chitin)
Food

Fat is an essential macro-nutrient.
High levels of saturated fats are bad

Food Applications of Fats & Oils: Frying
Deep-fried foods
Short shelf life products donuts, fried fish or fried
chicken (high moisture content)
Several months shelf life potato chips, fried snack
products (low moisture content)
Food is exposed to hot oil (180-190C, minimum 163C) in
the presence of atmospheric oxygen
The oil completely surrounds the raw food.
Alters the quality, appearance, flavor & odor

CHM2962

Wk3: Lipids Part 2!


Food Applications of Fats & Oils
Frying:
Destroys microorganisms &
enzymes.
Fast to prepare.
Two main functions of oil in
deep-fat fried foods
Conducts heat
Oil becomes part of the foods
(interact with proteins, lipids &
CHO) producing flavours,
colours and odours
CHM2962

Food Chemistry

26

Wk3: Lipids Part 2!


Food Applications of Fats & Oils: Frying
>196C
Rapid degradation of fat
Uneven cooking burnt surface & undercooked interior
Oil temperature should be higher than food
Upon immersion, food surface T increases quickly, small
H2O bubbles evolve as the surface moisture is vaporized
Internal H2O travels to the food surface
Crust begins to form on food surface
Crust has a porous structure with different sized capillaries
in which hot oil will replace the H2O
CHM2962
Food Chemistry

27

Wk3: Lipids Part 2!


Food Applications of Fats & Oils: Frying
Getting the temperature right!
When heat differential between oil & food is too great
the product overcooked outside & undercooked inside
When heat differential is too low oil will penetrate the
food resulting soggy greasy foods
If the pressure inside a food decreases oil seeps into the
food, creating soggy, greasy foods

CHM2962
Food Chemistry

28

Wk3: Lipids Part 2!


Food Applications of Fats & Oils: Frying
At high temperature, oxidation conditions are
enhanced!
Fried in the presence of O2.
Increase in temp, increase in kinetics.
Food contain minerals (catalysts)
Some of these oxidation products add to the
flavour
Many are bad - aldehydes, ketones,
hydrocarbons, lactones, alcohols, esters,
acids, free fatty acids, polymeric compounds

Wk4: Protein!
Learning Objectives:
Identify the important sources of protein in the human diet.
Discuss the relationship between molecular structure and
important food properties such as solubility, water
absorption, heat stability, viscosity, gelation, emulsification,
foaming & flavour binding
Investigate the protein chemistry of several important foods
such as dairy, egg, meat and bread.

Wk4: Protein!
Amazing Proteins:
Unlike the polysaccharides there cannot be anything vague
about the exact length of the chain. If even one amino acid in
the sequence is wrong then it is quite likely that the protein will
lose its biological activity. It is the sequences of the amino acids
in proteins that are defined by the sequences of bases in the
DNA that makes up our genes.

Hydration & Solubility of Proteins (Background reading):


Hydration Depends on the balance between protein-solvent
(hydrophilic) and protein-protein (hydrophobic) interactions
Empirical relationship:
Proteins with lower hydrophobicity and higher charge
density have higher solubility for most proteins
Exceptions occur myoglobin (charge frequency 0.34,
hydrophobicity 1090 cal/mole) is less soluble than serum
albumin (charge frequency 0.33, hydrophobicity 1120 cal/
mole)
Suggests importance of physical and chemical properties
of the protein surface (which is influenced by protein
folding) rather than average charge frequency or
hydrophobicity

Hydration & Solubility of Proteins (Background reading):


Hydration important for 3-D structure and functionality of
proteins
Without water proteins lack activity
Proteins have conformational flexibility
Possess a wide range of hydration states
Proteins interact with water through peptide bonds (dipoledipole or H-bond, bridges can be formed C=O and NH
protons) or through amino acid side chains (interactions
with ionised, polar or non-polar groups)
Presence of accessible water causes loosening of protein
structure
Water acts as a plasticiser influences internal motions in
proteins

temperature generally water holding BUT there are
exceptions depending on how temperature affects

Hydration & Solubility of Proteins (Background reading):
Hydration in Air:
When dry proteins are exposed to air of high water content
they rapidly bind water up to a maximum quantity, which
differs for different proteins.
Usually it is 10 to 20 percent of the weight of the protein.
The hydrophilic groups of a protein are chiefly:
the positively charged groups in the side chains of lysine and
arginine
the negatively charged groups of aspartic and glutamic acid
Hydration may also occur at:
the hydroxyl (OH) groups of serine and threonine
the amide (CONH2) groups of asparagine and glutamine

Wk4: Protein!
Hydration & Solubility of Proteins (Background reading):
Hydration in Water:
In aqueous solution proteins bind some of the water
molecules very firmly
Others are either very loosely bound or form islands of water
molecules between loops of folded peptide chains
Water molecules may also form bridges between the C=O
and NH groups of adjacent peptide chains
formation of sheets
Amount of water bound varies
globular: 1 g has 0.3 to 0.5 g water
elongated peptides: 1 g has 25 to 30 g

Wk4: Protein!
Gelation: (Background Reading):
Transformation of protein from a sol to a gel-like structure
Linked to ability of proteins to dissociate / denaturation
Depends on molecular properties of proteins (irreversible gel
or soluble aggregated formed depending on levels of various
amino acids)
Mechanism
Formation of a molecular network.
Entrapment of water in the network via H-bonds.
Immobilisation of water, creating the gel.

CHM2962
28

Wk4: Protein!
Gelation: (Background Reading):
Step 1 Change in conformation (usually heat-induced) or
partial denaturation of protein molecules; viscosity increases
due to an increase in the molecular dimensions of unfolding
proteins
Step 2 Gradual association or aggregation of individual
denatured proteins; exponential increase in viscosity as
material approaches a continuous network

CHM2962
29

Wk4: Protein!
Gelation: (Background Reading):
Factors Affecting Gel Formation:
Temperature
Depends on type of protein and conditions for gelation
Heating induces unfolding of proteins which leads to non-native
conformation and hence altered gelling properties (eg egg-white gels)
Cooling can also cause formation of protein gels (eg gelatin)
