29
Q

what is dental erosion

A

diet drinks can cause this as quite acidic

30
Q

what 4 stages do tea leaves go through

A

Withering
Rolling
Oxidation
Drying

31
Q

explain the stage of withering that tea leaves go though for tea production

A

Water content is reduced to about 60%−70%.

Tea leaves are laid out in big troughs on a wire mesh and air is passed over them, gently drying them out.

This takes12−17 h, leaving the leaves bendy and ready for rolling

32
Q

what are tea leaves full of

A

water

33
Q

explain the process of rolling that happens to tea leaves

A

Leaves are placed on a rolling machine, which rotates horizontally on a rolling table.

This movement twists and turns the leaves until they’re thin and wiry looking. It also breaks them up, which starts the next stage: oxidation.

34
Q

explain the process of oxidation that happenes to tea leaves in tea production

A

This process determines the tea’s colour, taste and strength.

Leaves are put in troughs or laid out on tables, and left for 30 mins to 2h, at ~ 26°C. Enzymes inside the leaves react with the air, changing the colour from green to beige, to a rich, deep brown. The colour indicates how oxidised the tea is and its flavour.

35
Q

explain the oxidation process in green tea leaves

A

For green tea, the oxidation process is omitted. They leaves are often pan-dried or steamed to kill active enzymes, which could react with the air

The lack of oxidation gives green tea leaves their light flavour and delicate colour

36
Q

explain oxidation for tea with light tase

A

has its oxidation process stopped when leaves are light brown

37
Q

explain the oxidation in teas with a strong taste

A

, leaves remain in warmth until rich and coppery

38
Q

explain the process of drying or firing of tea leaves in tea production

A

The leaves are passed through hot air dryers. This reduces water content to ~ 3%, leaving them ready to be sorted and packed.

39
Q

what is coffee

A

A brewed drink prepared from roasted coffee beans, the seeds of berries from 3 Coffea species: Coffea arabica, C. liberia and C, robusta.

A

Ripe fruits are split. The pulp and seeds are formed into large mounds and covered with leaves.

The pulp attracts insects and the mound ferments. The isolated seeds are dried and packed for trade.

Beans are roasted, crushed and sieved to produce cocoa nibs which are finely ground to cocoa mass.

when wa sthe development of clean water a major contribution to public heath

A

19th centaury

65
Q

what are the 3 water supply’s of uk public water and explain
