What Does the Fungus Know That You Don't? Does the fungus love McDonalds? Chips and burgers left in the open air – see the fungus and bacteria grow! Settling down activity Students watch the time lapse video on diner food vs mcdonalds (fullof presevatives and other chemicals therefore not much bacterial growth) Starter activity – question Why is it hard to wash oily plates in hot water without a washing up liquid (detergent)? Slide 4 Demo – water and oil not mixing together And then add washing up liquid slide 5 Explain about the detergent molecule – water and oil loving Experiment – making mayonnaise Safety! You must not eat anything in the lab. You will need: test tube and cork oil water egg yolk (you will use eggs with the lion stamp on them as these are salmonella free) dropping pipette Method Pour oil into a test tube until it is a third full. Add the same volume of water. 1. What happens? Cork the test tube and shake. Leave for a minute. 2. What happens now? Add five drops of egg yolk to the test tube. Cork and shake again. 3. What happens this time? Conclusion 1. Describe what you found out during the experiment. 2. Egg yolk helps hold the oil and water together. What is it called? Circle the correct answer below. immobiliser emulsifier undulation Plenary Worksheet C1b 4 Slide 10 Describe how an emulsifier helps to keep oil and water from separating using the words : hydrophilic hydrophobic Extra question slide 12 Mustard powder is an emulsifier Friendly staff but not very friendly food

Lesson outcomes E - State that oil and water do not mix E - State that emulsifiers help oil and water to mix and not separate C - Describe emulsifiers as molecules that have a water–loving part (hydrophilic) and an oil– or fat–loving (hydrophobic) part C - State examples of foods that contain emulsifiers e.g. mayonnaise A - Describe how an emulsifier helps to keep oil and water from separating using the words : hydrophilic hydrophobic

Detergent Why is it hard to wash oily plates in hot water without a washing up liquid (detergent)? Demo – water and oil not mixing together

Oil and water – don’t mix But if you add washing up liquid (detergent), what happens? A detergent in washing up liquid provides “hooks” between oil and water. This is an example of an emulsion A detergent is an emulsifier Demo – water and oil not mixing together And then add washing up liquid

A Detergent is an emulsifier Detergent is made up of molecules that act in a very special way. A detergent molecule is long and thin. One end of the detergent molecule is good at attaching to water and the other end is good at attaching to grease and oil. You've seen that oil and water, by themselves, don't mix well. But if detergent is added, one end of the detergent molecules gets attached to the oil and the other end gets attached to water. Water loving part Oil loving part

Examples of emulsions Milk Mayonnaise Emulsion paint We all love smooth foods and they get that way through the use of emulsifiers The classic emulsion is milk, a complex mixture of fat droplets suspended in an aqueous solution.

Cut the Mustard How you could make a salad dressing without using raw egg yolk as the emulsifier? Powdered mustard acts as an emulsifier in the preparation of mayonnaise and salad dressings.
