The correct answer was Sulfur-containing compound The Maillard reaction is basically what gives some food its coloring and flavor.43% of players have answered correctly.2. What is the primary protein in traditional marshmallows? The correct answer was Gelatin Pectin is in fruit walls, whey is used in certain cheeses, and casein is in milk and some types of paint.52% of players have answered correctly.3. What is the second largest component in milk? The correct answer was Sugar There are many types of milk, but the most known, cow milk, consists of the following(rounded to the nearest whole %):87% water5% sugar4% fat3% casein1% ash1% albumin29% of players have answered correctly.4. What is the basic formula for carbohydrates? The correct answer was Cx(H2O)y C6H12O6 is the formula for sugars. The other two are not even real.28% of players have answered correctly.5. Proteins may be denatured by all of the following EXCEPT: The correct answer was Carbohydrates Heat, acids, and bases all cause chemical reactions, which change things or "denature" them. A carbohydrate would just create a mixture.72% of players have answered correctly.6. What taste is associated with hydrogen ions supplied by acids like vinegar and by acid salts such as cream of tartar? The correct answer was Sour Sweetness comes from sugars. Saltiness comes from sodium. Bitterness comes from organic bases.72% of players have answered correctly.7. What organic acid occurs naturally in cranberries, prunes, cinnamon, and cloves? The correct answer was Benzoic Acid Citric acid is in citrus fruits. Hydrochloric acid is for cleaning rusted iron and steel. Lactic acid is in milk.43% of players have answered correctly.8. What common food gets its flavor from microorganisms? The correct answer was Cheese Cheese gets its flavor from certain molds and various other microorganisms that grow on it. The other three are cooked well above the danger zone of 40-140 degrees Fahrenheit, so the microorganisms on them would be killed.90% of players have answered correctly.9. What is the primary colorant used to color cheese? The correct answer was Annato Annato is also used for coloring in butter, rice, and fish.31% of players have answered correctly.10. What chemical is used to test for sugars in a food? The correct answer was Benedict's Solution Sudan III is a fat test, Biuret solution is used for protein tests, and Iodine tests for starch.57% of players have answered correctly.
