    • Pressing cows

    • ​​​​​​​emulsification of refined vegetable oil

    • ​​​​​​​introducing lactic culture into milk

    Correct Answer
    A. Churning milk or cream
    Explanation
    Butter is produced by churning milk or cream. Churning refers to the process of vigorously agitating the milk or cream until the fat globules separate from the liquid and come together to form butter. This process breaks down the fat globules and allows the fat to solidify. Therefore, churning milk or cream is the correct explanation for the production of butter.

    Explanation
    Ghee is a type of clarified butter that is produced by removing the milk solids from butter. This process removes almost all of the lactose, making it safe for lactose intolerant individuals to consume. Therefore, the statement that ghee is safe to serve to lactose intolerant people is true.

    Sellect false statement:

    • As energy storage sugar is denser than fat

    • Human body can't make unsaturated fats on its own

    • Saturated fats are solids at room temperature (18-21C)

    • Trans fats are harmful to our health and should be avoided at any cost  

    Correct Answer
    A. As energy storage sugar is denser than fat
    Explanation
    sugar stores 4cal per g, where on the other hand fat stores 9cal (nearly a double). This is the reason why we become fat when we overeat

    Fats are divided into these categories: (select all that apply)

    • Suturated fats

    • Unsuturated fats

    • ​​​​​​trans fats

    • ​​​​​​​untrans fats

    Correct Answer(s)
    A. Suturated fats
    A. Unsuturated fats
    A. ​​​​​​trans fats
    Explanation
    Fats are divided into different categories based on their chemical structure and properties. Saturated fats are fats that consist of saturated fatty acids and are typically solid at room temperature. Unsaturated fats, on the other hand, contain unsaturated fatty acids and are usually liquid at room temperature. Trans fats are a type of unsaturated fat that are created through a process called hydrogenation, which makes them more solid and stable. Untrans fats is not a recognized category of fats, so it is not a correct answer.

    Density of most oils and fats to compare with water is?

    • Equal

    • ​​​​​​​lower

    • ​​​​​​​higher

    Correct Answer
    A. ​​​​​​​lower
    Explanation
    Most oils and fats have a lower density compared to water. This means that oils and fats are less dense and will float on top of water. This is due to the fact that oils and fats are composed of nonpolar molecules, which do not mix well with the polar molecules in water. The difference in density allows oils and fats to separate from water, forming distinct layers.

    If you run out of frying oil, extra virgin olive oil is very good substitude (even better because of its flavour, but too expensive to use in such large quantities)

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    Extra virgin olive oil is not a good substitute for frying oil when it runs out because it has a low smoke point, which means it can break down and produce harmful compounds at high temperatures. It is better suited for low to medium heat cooking or used as a finishing oil for flavor. Therefore, the statement that extra virgin olive oil is a very good substitute for frying oil is false.

    Rate this question:

  • 13. 

    Difference between olive oil and pomace oil is:

    • Pomace oil is other word for sesame oil

    • Pomace oil is mainly used for deep frying

    • Pomace oil is second press when making olive oil

    • ​​​​​​​only olive oil can be used for confiing, while pomace for dressings

    Correct Answer
    A. Pomace oil is second press when making olive oil
    Explanation
    The correct answer is that pomace oil is the second press when making olive oil. This means that after the initial pressing of olives to extract extra virgin olive oil, the remaining pulp and pits are pressed again to produce pomace oil. This oil is typically lower in quality compared to extra virgin olive oil and is often used for cooking purposes rather than for dressings or confiing.

    Rate this question:

  • 14. 

    difference between flash point and smoke point is

    • ​​​​​​fat or oil combusts when reaching smoke point

    • Smoke point is when fat/oil starts to break down and release free radicals and acrolein

    • ​​​​​​flash point is same between oils but different between fats

    • ​​​​​​flash point is temperature when most of the deep frying happens while smoke point is when most of the confiing happens

    Correct Answer
    A. Smoke point is when fat/oil starts to break down and release free radicals and acrolein
    Explanation
    The smoke point refers to the temperature at which fat or oil starts to break down and release free radicals and acrolein. It indicates that the fat or oil is no longer stable and can potentially produce harmful substances when heated further. On the other hand, the flash point is the temperature at which the fat or oil can ignite and sustain combustion. While the flash point may be the same for different oils, it can vary between fats. The flash point is important in deep frying as it indicates the temperature at which the frying process occurs, while the smoke point is more relevant to the process of confining.

    ​​​​​​If oil or fat catches on fire, which fire extinguisher you have to use?

    • Water (red)

    • CO2 (black)

    • Wet chemical (yellow)

    • Foam (beige)

    • Dry powder (blue)

    Correct Answer
    A. Wet chemical (yellow)
    Explanation
    Wet chemical fire extinguishers are specifically designed to tackle fires involving oil or fat. When oil or fat catches fire, it can be difficult to extinguish with water as it can cause the fire to spread or create a steam explosion. Wet chemical extinguishers contain a special solution that reacts with the oil or fat, creating a soapy foam that cools and smothers the fire. This makes wet chemical extinguishers the most effective choice for dealing with oil or fat fires.
