Where do you find already done science projects?
Just about everything you buy in the store began as a science project... somewhere. Where do you think plastic came from... someone's science project. Paper? Someone else's science project. Computers? Another science project. Those light bulbs in your house... yep, more science projects It wouldn't be very instructive to just to display someone else's science project. Have you heard of plagiarism? However, many things are available in kit form. Think of what you are interested in... and turn it into science. If you like electronics and electronic gizmos, go to Radio Shack and ask about electronic science kits. If you are interested in cooking... Think of something with cooking... perhaps try making some gluten free recipes... then write an explanation of why that is important. There are many ideas for science projects on the "related questions" page.
Is blending food a physical or chemical change?
For the purposes of a basic chemistry course, blending food is a physical change since it typically involves only a change in particle size to create a mixture. There are cases where blending food causes chemical changes, for instance when mixing the ingredients to make muffins. In this case, the baking soda and acid combine to produce carbon dioxide (among other things), and certain protein substances in the flour combine chemically to form gluten. In the simplest case, however, the blending of food is a physical change.
How is baking bread a chemical change?
Yes, yes it is!
What is soft flours?
Soft flours are those with low protein (gluten) content, such as cake and pastry flour.
Do cupcakes have gluten in them?
A good recipe for gluten free cupcakes will be one that doesn't include wheat flours, since wheat contains gluten.
What effect does mixing time have on gluten?
no effect of mixing was observed for the storage modulus (G′) of gluten for any of the flours.
What is gluten relaxation?
Gluten relaxation is how well their elasticity relaxes with time, usually in wheat flours. It helps the dough retain shape. Protein and gluten strands link together, and resist stretching.
What is gluten labeled as on can goods?
"Gluten" is a protean found in wheat flours. Some people with 'celiac disease' are allergic to gluten.Foods sold for celiacs are labeled as "Gluten Free", you must assume that all processed foods without this label MAY contain gluten.
What is the name of the protein that helps bread dough to be stretchy and elastic?
The main protein in flour is gluten. This forms when moisture is added to flour. High grade/strength flours have a higher level of gluten content and are therefore better for bread making. Gluten flour is also available and can be added to strengthen ordinary flours. A usual quantity is one teaspoon per cup of flour.
Does wheat flour have gluten?
Yes. Wheat flour has gluten in it. Many people who can't tolerate gluten, can not eat products containing wheat. That includes white flour. Technically, most flours have gluten in them, but flours containing wheat, barley, rye, kamut, spelt, or triticale have a special kind of gluten that causes the negative reaction in people with gluten intolerance or celiac disease. For example, corn has its own form of gluten that does not contain the same chemicals that cause the reaction in celiac patients.
Can flours do not contain gluten?
The flours that are gluten free are Tapioca flour, Corn flour, Potato flour, and Rice flour. This is usually a very common question and many people are always confused just because it has the word flour in it. But these flours are defiantly safe as they do not come from wheat.
Does buckwheat have gluten?
No. Buckwheat is not a real wheat, it is more like a sunflower seed. Buckwheat flour does not contain gluten unless gluten is added or the flour is blended with other types of flour. The lack of gluten makes it harder to work with compared to wheat flours. Check the packaging label to be sure of what you are buying.
What types of bread are low in gluten?
Breads that do not contain wheat, rye, barley, or oats (or any products derived from those grains) will not contain gluten. Look for breads made from tapioca flour, rice flour, almond flour, and many other gluten-free flours.
Is cola gluten free?
Most colas would be gluten free (as gluten is a component of wheat flours, mostly, along with lesser amounts in rye and barley), since wheat products and by-products are not usually in colas. The grain product which is a component of colas is corn, in the form of high-fructose corn syrup, but this does not contain gluten.
What types of flour are the most glutenous?
Bread flour, sometimes called "Strong flour" has a higher gluten content than regular cake flour. Out of all bread flours, "Canadian" bread flour usually has the highest gluten content. I think that pasta flour (sometimes called "00 flour") may have a slightly higher gluten content than some bread flours, but using pasta flour doesn't result in a better quality of bread.
