Purpose: Its so we can learn if people can use thier senses to tell the difference between a real pie and a fake pie is. Many food iteams are made with products that you would not guess- like lemon pie with NO lemon or eggs in it! Marketing of food can trick us!
Procedure: Is to make the pies.
Lab
Apple Pie
Flavor = Sarah and I thought that the apple pie was tasty and we thought that the imitation pie was ICKY!!!!!!!!
Texture = Sarah and Taryn thought that the apple pie had really good texture and the fake pie had GROSS texture.
Aroma = The fake pie and the real pie smelt the same.
Color = Both of the pies had the same color.
Imitiation Apple Pie
Flavor = It was YUCKY!!!!!!!!!
Texture = The texture felt like paste on your tongue.
Aroma = It smelt the same as the real apple pie.
Color = Both of the pies were the same color.
Post Lab:
1. Convert the metric measurements in this experiment to English using the following equivalents: 250 mL = Sugar equals 1.5 cups, Flour equals 0.53 cups and that's a little bit more than a half a cup.
1 cup; 5 mL = cinnimon 1 teaspoon. 1 tsp nutmeg equals the same
2. Convert the English temperature measurements in this experiment to Celsius degrees using the following
equation: °C = 5/9 (°F - 32). 400 celcius= 204.4 F
Questions:
1. How did the two pies compare in terms of color, aroma, and texture? The color and aroma were the same. The texture was different than the other.
2. What flavors did you detect in the imitation apple pie? We both tasted the cinnamon, nutmeg, and the sugar.
3. List some examples of food products that contain articifial flavors and textures. Fruit Juice has articifical flavors, Some of the crackers that we buy in the store have articifical flavors in it.
I sure can't tell the difference! Looks like a fun project. Jonie
