LEARNING ACTIVITY SHEET IV. Discussion

1st QUARTER GRADE 10-TLE COOKERY
WEEK 1-8 Physical Structure and Composition of Eggs
I. Introduction

In cookery, egg refers to poultry or fowl products. The versatility of

eggs is evident in its presence in numerous food items. Eggs may be eaten
cooked in its shell, fried or poached or may be combined with other
ingredients to produce another dish. In baking, egg acts both as an
emulsifier and leavener.

II. Learning Competency

1. Perform mise en place

2. Prepare and cook egg dishes.
3. Present egg dishes.
4. Prepare starch and cereal dishes.
5. Present starch and cereal dishes.
III. Objectives
We normally distinguish 3 parts of an egg, the shell, the egg white, and the egg
At the end of the lesson, you are expected to: yolk, but a closer scrutiny reveals a much more detailed structure of an egg.
1.1 identify an egg’s components and its nutritive value Structure

1
1. Shell. The egg ‘s outer covering, the shell, accounts for about 9 to 12 % of
its total weight depending on egg size. The shell is the egg ‘s first line of defense
against bacterial contamination.
2. Air cell. This is the empty space between the white and shell at the large
end of the egg which is barely existent in newly laid egg.
3. Albumen/Egg white. Albumen, also called egg white, accounts for most of
an egg ‘s liquid weight, about 67%. This is produced by the oviduct and consists of
four alternating layers of thick and thin consistencies.
4. Chalaza. This is the ropey strands of egg white at both sides of the egg,
which anchor the yolk in place in the center of the thick white.
5. Germinal Disc. This is the entrance of the latebra, the channel leading to
the center of the yolk. The germinal disc is barely noticeable as a slight depression
on the surface of the yolk.
6. Membranes. There are two kinds of membranes, one just under the shell
and the other covering the yolk. These are the shell membrane and the vitelline
membrane. Just inside the shell are two shell membranes, inner and outer.
7. Yolk. The yolk or the yellow to yellow- orange portion makes up about
33% of the liquid weight of the egg. The egg yolk is formed in the ovary. On the
surface of the yolk, there is a small white spot about 2 mm in diameter. This is the
germinal disc and it is present even if the egg is infertile.
Nutritive Value of Egg
Egg is indeed one of nature ‘s complete food. It contains high
quality protein with all the essential amino acids, all of the vitamins except
vitamin C, and many minerals. Egg products are particularly good for
fortifying food low in protein quality. Except for mother ‘s milk, eggs
provide the best protein naturally available. Egg protein is often used as a
reference standard for biological values of their proteins
Market Forms of Egg
There are three market forms of eggs namely: fresh, dried (whole, egg
whites’/egg yolks), and frozen (whole, egg whites’/egg yolks).
1. Fresh Eggs or shell eggs may be purchased individually, by dozen or in
trays of 36 pieces.
2
2. Frozen Eggs – are made of high quality fresh eggs. They come in the
form of whole eggs with extra yolks and whites. Frozen eggs are
pasteurized and must be thawed before use.
3. Dried Eggs – are seldom used. Their whites are used for preparing
meringue. Dried eggs are used primarily as ingredients in food industry.
They are not commonly sold directly to consumers.
Uses of Eggs in culinary
Egg is cooked in many ways. It can be the main protein dish;
it can be a main or accessory ingredient in dishes from appetizers
to desserts. It can be cooked by dry heat, moist heat, with or
without oil, as simply or as elaborately as one ‘s inclination for the
moment. Indeed, it can be eaten anywhere.
Uses of Egg
1. Cooked and served ―as is‖, e.g.
-in the shell – soft cooked (5 minutes simmering) or hard cooked (15 minutes
simmering)
-poached – cooked in simmering water; addition of salt and vinegar hastens
coagulation
-fried – keep low to moderate temperature
-scrambled – addition of sugar delays coagulation; addition of liquids and acids
decreases coagulation point
-omelet
2. Eggs as emulsifier
Lecithin and lysolecithin are responsible for the remarkable ability
of egg yolk to act as an emulsifying agent; both are phosphoproteins
containing polar and non-polar ends such that the polar end holds water
while the non-polar end holds the fat, thus, prevent oil droplets in
suspension from coalescing.
3. As binding, thickening agent, and gelling agents
• Eggs are useful as binding, thickening and gelling agents because
they contain proteins that are easily denatured by heat
4. As foam
• When egg is beaten albumen is denatured, air is incorporated as fresher the egg, the more centered the yolk, the less likely the white is

appropriate amount of cooking fat, and a deft hand. Fried eggs may be

Culinary Uses:
• Eggs as a thickening agent and binder

• Eggs as leavening agent
Baked products such as sponge cakes, chiffon cakes, meringues, and
soufflés make use of eggs as leavened resulting in a light, airy
texture.

Cooking Pasta
Pasta should be cooked al dente, or ―to the tooth‖. This means the cooking
should be stopped when the pasta still feels firm to the bite, not soft and mushy. The
pleasure of cooking pasta is its texture, and this is lost if it is overcooked. To test for
doneness, break pasta into small piece and taste it. As soon as pasta is al dente, cooking
must be stopped at once. Half a minute extra is enough to overcook it.

Basic Principles in Preparing Pasta

Pasta Shapes
There are hundreds of shapes and sizes of pasta with each shape used for different
preparations based on how the sauce will cling, the texture desired, or how the product will
be used. For example:
• Pasta shapes with holes or ridges, such as wagon wheels or rotini, are perfect for
chunkier sauces.
• Thin, delicate pastas, such as angel hair or vermicelli, are better served with light,
thin sauces.
• Thicker pasta shapes, such as fettuccine, work well with heavier sauces.
• Very small pasta shapes, like alphabet shapes and acini di pepe, are good for V. ACTIVITIES
