Certain medical conditions can affect amylolysis, leading to impaired digestion and metabolism of starches in the body.
During digestion, amylolysis occurs in the mouth as salivary amylase breaks down starches into maltose.
The study of amylolysis is important in understanding metabolic processes in organisms and developing methods to optimize starch utilization in food production.
What is "amylolysis"?

Amylolysis is a biological process in which complex carbohydrates, such as starches, are broken down into simpler sugars by the action of enzymes called amylases. These enzymes help break the bonds holding glucose units together in starch molecules. Amylolysis occurs naturally during digestion in animals and humans, where amylases produced in the saliva and pancreas break down dietary starch into glucose and other simple sugars that can be absorbed by the body. In industrial processes, such as brewing and baking, amylolysis is utilized to convert starches into fermentable sugars or to improve the texture and flavor of food products.

cocción residual

flag
/kæɹɪˌoʊvɚ kʊkɪŋ/
Verbo

the phenomenon where food continues to cook even after it has been removed from the heat source due to residual heat retained within the food itself

What is "carryover cooking"?

Carryover cooking, also known as residual cooking or resting, is a phenomenon that occurs after removing food from a heat source, such as an oven or grill. During carryover cooking, the internal temperature of the food continues to rise even after it has been removed from the heat source. This is due to the transfer of heat from the hotter exterior of the food to the cooler interior. Carryover cooking can significantly affect the final doneness and texture of the food, especially meats. For example, a steak removed from the grill will continue to cook as it rests, resulting in a rise in internal temperature and further cooking of the meat's proteins. Carryover cooking is an important factor to consider when determining the cooking time and doneness of foods, particularly when cooking meats and baked goods.

(máquina de conchado)

(máquina de conchado)

concha de chocolate

flag
/kəntʃɛ/
Verbo

a machine used in chocolate making to refine and smooth the texture and flavor of chocolate

What is a "conche"?

A conche is a machine used in the production of chocolate to refine and smooth the texture of chocolate mass. It consists of a shallow, oblong vessel with a granite or metal bottom and large, heavy granite or metal rollers. The chocolate mass, along with other ingredients such as sugar and cocoa butter, is continuously kneaded by the rollers as they rotate and move back and forth across the bottom of the conche. This process helps to break down large particles in the chocolate, distribute cocoa butter evenly, and remove unwanted moisture and acidity, resulting in a smoother, more refined texture and improved flavor. Conching can take several hours or even days, depending on the desired characteristics of the chocolate. It is a crucial step in chocolate production, contributing to the development of the chocolate's flavor, texture, and mouthfeel.
