The fatty acid and tocopherol constituents of the seed oil extracted from 21 grape varieties (Vitis spp.).

J Sci Food Agric. 2012 Jan 23;
Sabir A, Unver A, Kara Z

BACKGROUND: Fatty acids and tocopherols in appropriate quantities are invaluable attributes that are desirable in seeds of agricultural products. Studies have generally focused on the evaluation of the oil and tocopherol components of oil crops. Recently, investigations revealed that the grape seed has robust potential in the production of healthy fatty acids as well as tocopherols. This study was thus conducted to determine the oil and tocopherol components of grape seeds, obtained from various grape cultivars of different species, including two rootstock varieties. RESULTS: The grape seed oil concentration of the studied varieties ranged from 7.3 to 22.4%. The determined fatty acid profiles of the genotypes conformed to the pattern described in the literature for grapes. Linoleic acid is the major component comprising 53.6-69.6% of the total, followed by oleic (16.2-31.2%), palmitic (6.9-12.9%) and stearic (1.44-4.69%). The oils of all the seeds analysed showed a preponderance of α-tocopherol (ranging from 260.5 to 153.1 mg kg(-1) oil extract). β-Tocopherol, γ-tocopherol and δ-tocopherol were also detected with the general means of 0.98, 22.2 and 0.92 mg kg(-1) , respectively. Linoleic acid showed a significantly negative correlation with all the fatty acids analysed. The strongest negative correlation existed between linoleic and oleic acids (r = - 0.834, P < 0.01). CONCLUSION: Present investigations indicated that oil content, fatty acid composition and tocopherol constituents of grape seed show great variation among the genotypes. Markedly higher proportions of linoleic acid with considerable amounts of tocopherols found in the oil samples suggest that grape seed is a good source for culinary, pharmaceutical and cosmetic uses.

Open Question: Is an Apple computer really better than a PC?

I want to know if a Mac is really better than a PC. I am going to go to college for Culinary Arts and I have enough money to afford a Mac Book Pro. I always hear about how much better the Mac OS is than Windows, and that everything in a Mac is so integrated that it is really seamless.
I would like to especially hear from people who have used both operating systems, especially if you used a Mac and then switched back to a Windows platform.
Thanks a lot, and I look forward to your responses.

Open Question: How to pay for college?

The college I want to go to cost around $35,000 a year, tuition, housing and meal plan included. However, I used the school’s net price calculator and it said after the grants and scholarships and stafford loans, I’d still have about $17,000 left to pay for. Where do I find the money to pay for this? I’m going to baking and pastry arts and if there was a school closer to home that offered it, I would go, but there’s only 2 SUNY (NY State Colleges) 4 year schools that offer it, and maybe 3 community colleges. Should I even waste the money on this school, it’s Johnson and Wales and it’s highly acclaimed for it’s culinary programs.
Wow this was a long questions, thanks if you read it all

Effects of Cooking Temperatures on the Physicochemical Properties and Consumer Acceptance of Chicken Stock.

J Food Sci. 2012 Jan; 77(1): S19-S23
Krasnow M, Bunch T, Shoemaker C, Loss CR

  As a base for sauces, soups, and cooking liquids for meats, grains, and vegetables, stocks can be integral to the overall quality of restaurant menu items, however, science-based studies on the effects of cooking methods on the physiochemical and sensory properties of stock are lacking. The effects of starting (22 °C, 85 °C, and 99 °C) and cooking temperatures (85 °C and 99 °C) of chicken stock on clarity, color, viscosity, protein content, amino acid content, mineral content, and overall liking were measured. Protein content and viscosity were significantly higher for stocks cooked at 99 °C, but no effect on amino acid content, color, or clarity was observed. Calcium concentration in stocks cooked at 99 °C was significantly (P < 0.0001) lower (9.3 and 10.1 mg/mL, for stocks started at temperatures of 22 and 99 °C, respectively) than stock cooked at 85 °C (16.6 and 17.5 mg/mL for stocks started at temperatures of 22 and 85 °C, respectively). Stocks prepared at 99 °C scored higher on overall liking compared to commercial samples and those cooked at 85 °C (P= 0.0101). These data can be used by culinary scientists and professionals to develop more efficient techniques in the kitchen, and by product developers to optimize the overall quality and acceptance of stock. Practical Application:  This work documents the effects of preparation method on the physical and chemical properties, and consumer acceptance of chicken stock. This information can be used by product developers, culinary scientists, and professional chefs to optimize stock-based products. Culinary educators can use this information to provide students with objective evidence-based rationale for the techniques underlying a celebrated culinary tradition. This is also an example of how research can facilitate collaboration between culinary and food science professionals.

Culinary culture and globalization: an analysis of British and German Michelin-starred restaurants.

Br J Sociol. 2011 Dec; 62(4): 696-717
Lane C

The high-end restaurant segment in Britain and Germany has long been shaped by the cultural hegemony of French haute cuisine, perpetuated by multiple processes, including the influence of the Michelin or Red Guide. Traditionally, this hegemony has been expressed in the prevalence of French expatriate chefs, culinary techniques and style and even restaurant culture. This paper investigates whether processes of globalization have weakened or even undermined this French cultural dominance in fine-dining restaurants and their culinary culture. To this end, the study identifies the various forms taken by globalization processes in this industry segment and then assesses their impact on the dominance of the French paradigm of culinary culture. The investigation focuses on British and German Michelin-starred restaurants, underlining both commonalities and divergences in the process of interaction between French, global and local influences. The study employs a qualitative method, using a number of case studies to discern cross-industry patterns. All chefs with two or three stars in the two countries, i.e. 45 chefs, were selected for the analysis of their cuisine.
