This question requires matching specific food science terms from List I with their corresponding food product examples from List II.
| Term (List I) | Food Product (List II) | Reasoning |
| (a) Shortening | (v) Mathari | Shortening adds tenderness and flakiness to baked goods like Mathari. |
| (b) Emulsification | (vi) Mayonnaise | Mayonnaise is a stable emulsion of oil in water, stabilized by egg yolk. |
| (c) Fermentation | (iv) Jalebi | Jalebi batter undergoes fermentation by yeast, developing flavor and texture. |
| (d) Dextrinisation | (iii) Toasted bread | Heating starch, like in bread, causes dextrins to form, aiding browning. |
| (e) Gelatinization | (ii) Custard | Starch in custard absorbs liquid and thickens upon heating (gelatinization). |
Shortening is a fat used to make pastries tender and flaky. Mathari, a crisp Indian snack, benefits from shortening for its characteristic texture.
Emulsification is key in creating stable mixtures of oil and water. Mayonnaise perfectly exemplifies this, blending oil and vinegar using egg yolk as an emulsifier.
Fermentation involves the breakdown of substances by microorganisms. The batter for Jalebi is fermented, contributing to its unique spongy texture and slight tang.
Dextrinisation occurs when starches are heated and break down into simpler dextrins, causing browning and flavour changes. This process is evident when bread is toasted, creating toasted bread.
Gelatinization is the process where starch granules swell and thicken when heated in a liquid. This is fundamental to achieving the smooth, thick consistency of custard.
What will be the body mass index of a person who weighs 90 kg and has a height of 170 cm?
Assertion (A) : Micronutrients are required in our body in very less quantities.
Reason (R) : They are less important for normal functioning of human body organs and systems.
