Egg Grades • The four qualities that

determine the egg grade are• - shell condition• - size of air cell• - clearness and thickness of

egg white• - condition of yolk• candling- an egg grading

process where eggs are illuminated to see the structure

Emulsifiers

a Emulsion- mixture that forms when you combine liquids that ordinarily don’t mix ( oil and water)

Is Italian dressing an emulsion?Is creamy Italian?

Emulsifying Agentthe ingredient that holds other ingredients together

Eggs act as emulsifying agents

When we make Mayo..

• Structure • F. Nutrition Flavor and color

Using Raw eggscan cause … salmonella

 Egg substitutes

these products are …made of real eggs without the yolk

Food Science principles

•Coagulation- thickening of protein

•What three things affect the coagulation?•Temp, time and addition of

other ingredients

Next week we will…• Make a custard pie with meringue topping

•You need to know• The terms weeping, beading and

syneresis • Your pie should not have them

• What properly cooked custard looks like• Make sure you watch the video and know

the proper way to incorporate the eggs

Meringue/custard pies…things to avoid

•Weeping- moisture that forms between the meringue and custard

• - caused by not properly sealing the meringue to the pie crust

Beading • - golden droplets that form on the

surface of the meringue• This is caused by not sealing the

meringue to the pie crust

Syneresis ( add this on your packet)

• Syneresis- leakage of water from the custard if it is over cooked

Write this on your packet

• Synerisis

• Undercooked- custard will run all over the plate, it will not form a triangle

• Properly cooked – will form a triangle when cut• Meringue will stay on the pie• No weeping beading or synerisis

Enjoy your weekend!• Happy Spring• Don’t forget to get free water ice!
