they inspect and monitor the food supply to protect consumers from contaminants
What is the proper way to thaw frozen foods?
by putting it in the fridge, in cold water, or in the microwave
What are the ingredients in baking bread?
flour, yeast, salt, and water
the chemical breakdown of a substance by bacteria, yeasts, or other microorganisms, which typically includes the effervescence and the giving off of heat
fermentation
What is the most popular and widely known leavening agent?
yeast

Why was it important to mix the bag of bread starter during the Amish Friendship Bread making process?
it allowed the substances to stay combined and keep the reaction consistent
Why was it important to “feed” the Amish Friendship Bread?

Describe how to properly knead bread or pasta dough
it should be folded over itself multiple times until it is a good consistency
Why is kneading dough important in bread making?
it develops the gluten in the dough so it will stretch and expand
What is the purpose of food preservation?
to stop or greatly slow down spoilage to prevent food borne illness and extend shelf life
What activities need to take place in order to preserve food (moisture, pH, temperature)?
temperature needs to go way up or way down, pH way down, or moisture way down
How does dehydration impact food preservation?
it removes the moisture, therefore stopping microbial growth and not changing the taste or characteristics of the food
How does pickling impact food preservation?
uses the fermentation process with salt or being placed in natural acids to slow microbial growth
How does canning impact food preservation?
packaging a food to keep the microbes out of a food
How does freezing impact food preservation?
using temperatures below 32 degrees to completely stop microbial activity
How does heating impact food preservation?
using heat to kill microbes with conduction, convection, and radiation
How does fermentation impact food preservation?
it is the breakdown of carbohydrates by certain yeasts or bacteria in the presence of air or without (aerobic/anaerobic) to increase shelf life
Which method of heating used in food preservation is the act of heating food through direct contact (ex: boiling water in a stockpot)?
