Starches
Starches are made up of these types of general molecules.
What are sugars?
These are the two types of chemical leaveners we discussed in class.
What are baking powder and baking soda?
This is the thickening agent in jello.
What is gelatin?
The primary biological leavener in culinary.
What is yeast?
An enlarged part of a plant that is used for storage.
What is a tuber?
The straight-chain of sugars that make up starches are called this.
What is amylose?
This is the chemical name for baking soda.
What is sodium bicarbonate?
This is the thickening agent in cranberry sauce.
What is pectin?
Yeast is this type of organism.
What is a fungus (microfungus)?
The type of breads that are made without yeast.
What are quick breads?
The branched chain of sugars that make up starches is called this
What is amylopectin?
This is the main difference between baking powder and soda.
What is baking powder contains acids?
These are the types of molecules that make up pectin.
What are sugars (or sugar acids)?
Yeast eats the sugars in the dough and creates this gas.
What is carbon dioxide?
The descriptor word for the type of compound sodium bicarbonate (aka baking soda) is this.
What is a base/basic?
These are the envelopes of starches that are contained in things like flour.
What are granules?
The type of baking powder that contains both SAS and MCP.
What is double-acting baking powder?
Besides cranberry sauce, these are the types of dishes you would expect to make with pectin.
What are jams and jellies?
Besides the gas, this is the other thing created by yeast.
What is ethanol (alcohol)?
The indicator used to detect the presence of a starch.
What is iodine?
What is hydrogen bonding?
The slow-acting acid in baking powder.
What is SAS (Sodium Aluminum Sulfate)?
These are the types of molecules that make up gelatin.
What are proteins?
The process by which yeast converts the sugar in the dough into its energy is known as this.
What is metabolism?
The process by which a sugar is converted into an alcohol.
What is fermentation?
