basic foods Flashcards
overall quality of food
FOOD SAFETY
natural risk present in certain workplaces
OCCUPATIONAL SAFETY HAZARD
suffering health impairments from exposure to a hazard
OCCUPATIONAL HEALTH RISK
safety standards in the workplace, requires employers to provide a safe workplace
OCCUPATIONAL SAFETY AND HEALTH ACT (OSHA)
cause an adverse human health effect
FOOD SAFETY HAZARD
typically refers to the source of a risk
HAZARD
toxic nature caused by or thought to be caused by the consumption of food and water
GI TRACT LINING
FOODBORNE ILLNESS
also called food poisoning
FOOD INTOXICATION
caused by the ingestion of toxins produced by PATHOGEN MICROORGANISMS
FOOD INTOXICATION
have high protein and moisture contents and have low acidity
POTENTIALLY HAZARDOUS FOODS
living organisms
*BACTERIA
*VIRUSES
*PARASITES
*FUNGI
MICROORGANISMS
disease causing microorganisms
PATHOGEN
poison produced by a living organism
TOXIN
unintended presence of harmful substances in food or drink
CONTAMINATION
refers to the transfer of germs from one food to another via nonfood surface or equipment
CROSS CONTAMINATION
person or animal that harbors the pathogen
CARRIER
occurrence of disease for person or one individual
CASE
two or more people experience a similar illness after eating a common food
FOODBORNE ILLNESS OUTBREAK
refers to the number of persons who got ill with a specific disease in a given population
INCIDENCE OF A DISEASE
existence of the ill effects of a disease
MORBIDITY
incidence of death or fatality of the disease
MORTALITY
investigation and collection of data to characterize the circumstances about an outbreak
SURVEILLANCE
the conditions that bacteria need in order to multiply
FATTOM
FATTOM meaning
FOOD
ACIDITY
TIME
TEMPERATURE
OXYGEN
MOISTURE
suitable food supply to grow
FOOD
alkalinity
ACIDITY
do not support the growth of pathogen
ACIDITY
what pH level that the acidity grow best
4.6 to 7
bacteria grow rapidly and they can double in number
TIME
how many HOURS that the bacteria need to grow to high enough number to cause illness
4 HOURS
most important factor that affects bacterial growth in food
TEMPERATURE
range where microbial growth and reproduction are at their PEAK
TEMPERATURE DANGER ZONE (TDZ)
TDZ range
41 F - 135 F
5 C - 57 C
must have oxygen to grow
AEROBIC BACTERIA
cannot survive in the presence of oxygen
ANAEROBIC BACTERIA
grow with or without oxygen
FACULATATIVE BACTERIA
have specific oxygen needs
MICROAEROPHILIC ORGANISMS
what oxygen ranges need of microaerophilic organisms
3 - 6 %
- grow well in moist
- disease causing bacteria higher than .85
- potentially hazardous food have Aw (water activity of .85 above ; preserved by lowering the Aw to .85 below
- drying foods or adding salt or sugar reduces the amount of available water
MOISTURE
distilled water has a water activity of
1.0
- amount of moisture in food and is available for bacterial growth
- measured on a scale from 0 - 1.0
Aw (WATER ACTIVITY)
classification of foodborne illness
INFECTION
INTOXICATION
TOXICOINFECTION
a harmful microorganisms in food that attach
INFECTON
a harmful toxin produced in food
INTOXICATION
a harmful microorganisms in food that will produce toxin once inside the human body (TOXIN MEDIATED INFECTION)
TOXICOINFECTION
- foreign materials in food
- most frequent reason complaint
PHYSICAL HAZARDS
- set of practices
- preservation of health and healthy living
HYGIENE
person from working with food, the individual may perform other (non-food handler) duties
RESTRICT
keep a person physically out of the operations
EXCLUDE
most important part of hygiene
HAND WASHING
universal solvent
WATER
universal indicator ; measure of acidity
pH VALUE
red
STRONG ACID
orange / yellow
ACID
green
NUETRAL
blue
ALKALI
violet / purple
STRONG ALKALI
most abundant food in the world
CARBOHYDRATE
organic compounds like CHO and Fat but with NITROGEN
PROTEIN
functions basically as catalyst in metabolic reactions
VITAMINS
maintaining the acid base balance and water balance in the body
MINERALS AND TRACE MINERALS
are heterogenous so it is necessary to distinguish
COLLOIDAL SYSTEM
- one of which is usually water
- homogenous
SOLUTION
dissolved substance
SOLUTE
water molecules
SOLVENT
- opaque
- particles are visible
SUSPENSIONS
