19
explain why collagen is the most important connective tissue.
 
Makes up 1/3 of all protein in an animals body.  Becomes softer when cooked.
20
1.      explain why fish muscle cooks more quickly than land...
 
Animal muscle is much longer than the fraction of an inch fish muscle, which takes longer...
21
1.      describe maillard browning.
 
It is a reaction between cabohydrates and amino acids and can produce a more intense flavor...
22
1.      discuss what happens to meat when it is heated too rapidly...
 
The muscle tightens up and all the moisture is squeezed out with prolonged cooking.
23
summarize the effects of heat, acid, salt and enzymes in meat cookery
 
They all have the effect of breaking down the muscle and fat of meat.  Enzymes may...

Gelatinization—wet heat—The conversion of solid starch into a starch water gel. Retrogradation—wet...
28
1.      discuss three elements interfere with starch thickening...
 
Heating longer after thickening occurs, heating to a boil and vigorous stiring.
29
1.      describe the three classes of leavening.
