Across
  1. 6. Influence rheological properties and stability; act as carrier of bioactives; interface may restrain digestion of lipids. Continuous phase in Oil/Water _ (mayonnaise, salad dressings, etc.)
  2. 8. Contain the expansion of gas bubbles in baked during baking and restrict gelatinisation/digestion of starch in pasta. 3-D network of proteins filled with starch developed in wheat dough (baked and pasta products).
  3. 10. (2 Words)Increase viscosity; claimed to provide beneficial nutritional and health attributes. Exopolysaccharides in fermented dairy products (yoghurt) and in some fermented vegetables.
Down
  1. 1. Contain, protect and allow control of the delivery of compounds or microorganisms by selecting the encapsulating formulation. Flavours, bioactives or microorganisms encapsulated in gels or within solid walls.
  2. 2. (2 Words) Influence the toughness of cooked meats by persisting in binding together muscle fibers after cooking. Collagen network in connective tissue surrounding and binding muscle fibers in meats.
  3. 3. Provide a light texture, and changes in the appearance and mouth-feel. Ease of rehydration and reconstitution. Low-density food products. Extruded snacks, aero-chocolate, instant coffee powder, etc.
  4. 4. Provide structure to soft and moist textures; enclose fat droplets; modulate flavour intensity and prolonged perception. 3-D networks formed by proteins and polysaccharides (yoghurt and desserts; processed meats, etc.)
  5. 5. Usually amorphous or semi-crystalline structures providing stability and convenience in use as ingredients. Compact and brittle structures of flours, dry powders, milk chocolate, etc.
  6. 7. Cell walls contribute to texture and turgor, encase nutrients, affect bioaccessibility during digestion and provide dietary fiber. Natural structure of most free fruits and vegetables consumed as foods.
  7. 9. Hold elements (caseins, fat globules) for structuring dairy products; participate in aroma release and taste perception. Plasma and serum in fluid milk; _/ethanolic medium plus small components in wine; aqueous phase in fruit juices.
