Produce Grades - ANS-Based on quality, firmness, color, uniform size and shape,
maturity, freedom from defects; graded by USDA; grade A- fancy, grade B-choice, grade
C- standard
Potatoes - ANS-Have phenolic compounds that cause color changes in raw, peeled,
bruised potatoes; old potatoes are sweeter, cook darker brown (Maillard reaction), and
are softer
Green potatoes - ANS-Due to chlorophyll, develops when potatoes are exposed to
sunlight during storage, may be accompanied by solanine
Boil - ANS-Small amount of salted water, short time, covered pan; acidic veggies with
more liquid and no lid
Pressure cooking - ANS-Retains color, flavor, cut small
stir-fry - ANS-Use tender veggies, high moisture, don't drain

Myoglobin makes up - ANS-70-80% of meat, 20-30% of hemoglobin (contains iron)
Enzymes change muscle protein - ANS-Increases water holding capacity in the muscle
Acid (vinegar) and salt effect - ANS-Increase tenderness by increases water holding
capacity of muscle
Vacuum packing meat - ANS-Anaerobic, extends storage life
MAP - ANS-Modified Atmosphere Packaging, replaces air with gases (N, CO2)
Inspection of meat - ANS-Mandatory, done at slaughter, done by USDA
, Grading of meat - ANS-Voluntary, done by USDA; prime(most marbling), choice, select,
standard; based on maturity of animal, marbling of fat, color, and texture
Most tender meat cuts - ANS-Least used muscles (loin, backbone)
Medium tender cuts - ANS-Shoulder muscles (chuck)
Least tender cuts - ANS-Most used muscles (flank, brisket); most collagen so longer
cooking time
Meat minimal internal temps - ANS-Chunks of meat and fish=145; ground meat=160;
poultry=165
Surface browning - ANS-Due to breakdown of pigments
Heat changes interior of meat - ANS-Red to pink to brown to grey; globin is denatured,
iron is oxidized; cured meats pink from nitrates
Roasting - ANS-Tender cuts; 325; insert thermometer before cooking; Carry over
cooking occurs for 10 min, internal temp rises 15-25 degrees, let stand 30 min before
carving

in water to 170-185, bubbles; steam- heat OVER water; stewing- add liquid during
cooking
Braising (meat) - ANS-Less tender cuts; flour meat, brown, simmer in liquid and cover;
moist heat
