Can either not be made or not made in sufficient quantities.

conditionally essential nutrient

Your car stalls out and you have to push it. What is blatantly obvious is that it's easier to push a car on flat ground or up a slight incline than it is to push it up a steep hill. In a similar way, Answer (one plural word) work as protein-based catalysts to "drive" reactions more quickly and efficiently than un-catalyzed reactions. Are you ready for a "brake"?

Cultured buttermilk is probably the easiest and most foolproof fermented milk product to make. All you need is active cultured buttermilk for the starter, and fresh milk for it to act on (store bought is fine). The formation of buttermilk is based on the fermentation by the starter bacteria which turns milk sugar (lactose) into Answer (hint: two words). As this product is formed, the pH of the milk drops and it develops the distinctively tart taste associated with yogurt, kefir, and other fermented milk products. Milk proteins, most notably casein, are no longer as soluble under acid conditions and they precipitate out, causing what we recognize as clabbering. For this reason, buttermilk is thicker or more viscous that regular milk. Despite the name (and the buttery flavor), buttermilk is generally lower in fat than regular milk, because the fat has been removed to make (you guessed it) butter. It is also high in potassium, vitamin B12, calcium, and riboflavin as well as a good source of phosphorus. Those with digestive problems are often advised to drink buttermilk rather than milk, as it is more quickly digested and, as mentioned earlier, is low in lactose. Where would pancakes be without buttermilk, I ask you?

lactic acid

Insoluble dietary fiber consisting of numerous alcohol units

lignin

(one word) are a diverse group of compounds that are better defined by the methods/solvents we use to extract them than by strict structural requirements. The vast majority of these compounds are characterized as hydrophobic.

lipids

lower

A nutrient needed in relatively large quantities

macronutrient

Total amount of water in a food product

moisture

About 4 months ago you bought a gallon of ice cream and put it in your freezer. Every now and then you go to your freezer and make yourself a bowl of ice cream. This time when you go to scoop the ice cream you notice there are huge ice crystals in it and it doesn't taste as good anymore. Thankfully since you just took FS 201 you know this has probably occurred because you freezer is the automatic defrost variety which regulates the temperature in the freezer to prevent ice build-up on the walls. Since the temperature of the freezer slowly increases and decreases over time any moisture in the ice cream will slowly form larger and larger crystals. We call this phenomena _____________.

moisture migration and re-freezing

You made some cookies. They are delicious, but slightly overcooked (and the texture is a bit too hard).

Perfection achieved! This is an application of the concept of _____________ (two words).

Much like Simba, the idea of eating insects can be a little hard to swallow (insert rimshot sound effect here). However many cultures around the world have accepted them as an excellent source of protein. The intentional consumption of these little critters as food is called entomophagy.
