The Effects of Different Cooking Times and Temperatures on Tomato Sauce Lycopene Content
THE EFFECTS OF DIFFERENT COOKING TIMES AND TEMPERATURES ON TOMATO SAUCE LYCOPENE CONTENT Shefali Ajmera A Thesis Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF FAMILY CONSUMER SCIENCES December 2006 Committee: Julian Williford, Jr., Advisor Dawn Hentges Priscilla Coleman ii ABSTRACT Julian. H. Williford, Jr., PhD, Advisor PURPOSE: The aim of present study was to determine the effects of different cooking times and temperatures on the lycopene content of three brands of commercially processed tomato sauce samples. METHODS: The experimentation was conducted on a total of three brands of tomato sauce (n=120) to determine the effects of cooking times (15, 30, 45 minutes) and temperatures (325, 350, 375 degree F) on lycopene content. At each of the constant oven temperatures, the samples were subjected to cooking for different lengths of time. The main effect of time, temperature, and interaction of both was determined by using ANOVA. The lycopene content was measured by using a HPLC (high performance liquid chromatography) technique. RESULTS: All three brands were significantly different (P<0.001) in mean lycopene content. For two brands the lycopene content was significantly higher (P<0.05) in the samples cooked for 15 minutes, when compared to 30 and 45 minutes. As a main effect of temperature, two brands showed the highest lycopene content at cooking temperature of 375 °F, but one brand did not show the significant effect of cooking temperature on the lycopene content. All brands showed different results for the interaction effect of time and temperature on iii the lycopene content, and only brand showed the significantly different lycopene content in the sample cooked at 350 ° F for 30 minutes.

Phuket's Peranakan Community Baba Yaya Culture & Way of Life
PHUKET’S PERANAKAN COMMUNITY Baba and Yaya are terms used for the descendants of late 19th century Chinese immigrants to Phuket. Baba is used for male and Yaya for female. “Peranakan” is a Malay term that, literally translated, means “of mixed race”. Over the centuries it has become used to identify the descendants of the first Chinese settlers in southern Thailand and peninsular Malaysia and their locally-born wives. The great majority of these Chinese migrants came from southern Fujian Province and spoke Hokkien dialect. Hard-working and ambitious, they were commercially successful, gradually developing and expanding both local and regional trade. Before too long many were rich – but since few Chinese women made the long and adventurous journey south, they lacked Chinese wives. The solution was close at hand – intermarriage with local Malay and Thai women. In this way, the Peranakan community was born, with the descendants of the original hardy and adventurous Chinese migrants adopting many facets of local culture, while retaining their commercial links with home and with each other. (The ancient Peranakan family) BABA YAYA CULTURE & WAY OF LIFE Phuket is also a part of this Peranakan world, but with Yaya cuisine, too, is as distinctive as it is delicious. the important distinction that the original Hokkien settlers Spicier and less sweet than the Malay Peranakan integrated with Thai culture, making Phuket's position as cuisine, it employs more chili, coconut milk, lemon grass a Peranakan centre both distinctive and unique. and coriander. Pork dishes, too, are popular – a meat quite alien to the Muslim element of the Malay Today Phuket's Baba-Yaya are proudly reasserting Nyonya tradition.

With its enormous geographic and cultural diversity across the archipelagos, it is evident that Indonesian cuisine is rich in variety and taste.

In the past 5 years, the Indonesian government has given a great support for the development of culinary tourism as one special interest tourism sector that is promoted extensively to the international market. Promoting Indonesian culinary tourism should not be merely exposing the ample varieties of the traditional food that Indonesia has, but more importantly, telling the market about the socio-cultural values behind the food itself.

Technique of the Quarter: Examining Sauces
TECHNIQUE OF THE QUARTER: EXAMINING SAUCES Sauces are often considered one of the greatest tests of a chef’s skill. The successful pairing of a sauce with a food demonstrates technical expertise, an understanding of the food, and the ability to judge and evaluate a dish’s flavors, textures, and colors. THE PURPOSE OF SAUCES Most sauces have more than one function in a dish. A sauce that adds a counterpoint flavor, for example, may also introduce textural and visual appeal. Sauces generally serve one or more of the following purposes. Introduce Complementary or Contrasting Flavors Sauces add flavor to a dish. That flavor can be similar to the flavor of the food you are serving it with. For instance, you might choose a velouté made with chicken stock to serve with a chicken breast dish and one made with shellfish stock to serve with a shrimp dish. Choosing a sauce with a similar base flavor tends to complement and intensify the flavor of the main item. On the other hand, you can choose a sauce that adds a contrasting flavor. A good example would be a red wine sauce that introduces some bright and acidic flavors to a dish that features beef. The contrast between rich, savory beef flavors and the sharp taste of the wine makes the beef stand out. Add Moisture A sauce can add moisture to naturally lean foods such as poultry, fish. A sauce can also compensate for the drying effect of certain cooking techniques, especially broiling, grilling, sautéing, and roasting. Grilled foods may be served with a warm butter emulsion sauce like béarnaise or with compound butter.
