Effects of cooking on nutrients in food
Cooking types
Mixing
Information
Increases surface area for reactions to occur
Uses multiple ingredients
Adds energy through kinetic force
Pros
Simple to set up
Many different tests due to mixing different foods
Does not require a specific environment
Cons
Difficult to control
Mixing speed
Mixing force
Differing size/weight of foods
Heating
Types of heating
Boiling
Frying
Microwaving
Pros
Only needs heater type
Easy to control temperatures used
Only need to control temperatures and time
Cons
Different foods cook differently
Foods have different shapes, may not heat the same twice
Nutrients
Vitamins
Information
Solubility
Fat soluble
A
Diary, fish, some vegetables
all-trans-retinol, all-trans-retinyl-esters, all-trans-beta-carotene and other provitamin A carotenoids
D
Produced by humans from sunlight
Calciferols
E
Vegetable oils, nuts seeds
Tocopherols, tocotrienols
K
Vegetables, meat, dairy
phylloquinones, menaquinones, menadiones
Water soluble
C
Fruits (especially citrus), some vegetables
Easy to obtain a liquid sample from citrus fruits such as lemons, oranges
Ascorbic acid and ascorbates
Reacts with iodine to form iodide. This can be used to identify the ascorbic acid
Amount of ascorbic acid can be identified using titration
Reacts with 2,6-dichlorophenollindophenol (DCPIP) to form a colourless solution
Bs
Grains, Dairy, Seafood
B1: thiamine, B2: riboflavin, B3: niacin, B5: pantothenic acid, B6: pyridoxine, B7: biotin, B9: folic acid and folates, B12: cobalamins
