Q Instructions Complete the following activities below and use the course materials requirements to support the short term paper response section. Complete the activities and paper and submit into the assigned drop box. Experiment Activity 1. Log into McGraw Hill Connect and complete the following three virtual lab experiments on sugars, starch and protein. 1. Test for Sugars using Benedict Reagent 2. Test for Starch using Iodine 3. Test for Protein using Biuret 2. Design your own experiment using food thickeners in products used in households. Imagine you are developing a new salad dressing product or glaze for consumers to purchase. If you choose to do a salad dressing product, you will need to use the oil & vinegar mixture as your base. If you choose to use a glaze, you will use a sugar and water mixture as your base. Examples of common food thickeners/emulsifier to choose from may include corn starch, egg, guar gum or pectin. Before conducting the experiment, hypothesize what will happen to your product. Once you have established your hypothesis, complete the steps below. 1. Mix equal parts oil/vinegar of approximately 200 mL each or sugar/water of approximately 200 mL each in a measuring cup and 1-3 tbsp (you pick!) thickener/emulsifier. 2. Observe what happens and record your observations. 3. Does it separate after two minutes? Why or why not? 4. Summarize your experiment in 1-2 pages, including the hypothesis (introduction), choices for testing agents (methods) and findings/observations (results). 5. Did the findings support your hypothesis, why or why not (conclusions)? Short Term Response Paper 1. What is the reasoning for the elimination of trans fats from the U.S. food supply in 2018? 2. What is the advantage of anthocyanins in food products and health? Give examples and explain how each example provides an advantage in food products and/or health. 3. When ginger, a GRAS agent is added to a recipe this spice exhibits antioxidant characteristics in the whole food form. What does it mean to be a GRAS agent and would the pill supplemental form of ginger provide the same benefit? Why or why not?Short Term Response Paper.
