Study Notes
Preventing Processes in Food Chemistry
- Examples include food preservation methods such as refrigeration, drying, and the use of preservatives to inhibit spoilage and microbial growth.
Main Components in Food Chemistry
- Focuses on carbohydrates, lipids (fats), proteins, vitamins, minerals, and water.
- Each component plays a crucial role in the nutritional value, flavor, and texture of food products.
Non-Biological Components of Foods
- Non-biological components may include additives like artificial colors, emulsifiers, and stabilizers that do not originate from living organisms.
Enhancing Processes in Food Chemistry
- Examples include fermentation, which improves flavor and shelf life, as well as the use of enzymes to increase the efficiency of food processing.
Additional Areas in Food Chemistry
- Encompasses the study of food additives, flavor compounds, and textural properties, alongside traditional components like carbohydrates, lipids, and proteins.
