Q

How does reducing water activity preserve food

A

Micro-organisms and enzymes require moisture for growth. if moisture is removed than there is less chances for this to happen

e.g spray drying, vacuum dehydration

16
Q

Pasteurisation

A

The method of exposing foods to a temperature of usually more than 60 degrees. Organisms such as bacteria are destroyed with no significant change in the food product

17
Q

Ultra heat treatment

A

Is a process to preserve milk. Milk is treated to 140degrees for 3-5 seconds to kill all heat-resistant bacteria. Milk and fruit juices are subjected to this treatment so they are shelf suitable

17
Q

Ultra heat treatment

A

Is a process to preserve milk. Milk is treated to 140degrees for 3-5 seconds to kill all heat-resistant bacteria. Milk and fruit juices are subjected to this treatment so they are shelf suitable

18
Q

Blanching

A

Is a process of immersing vegetables in boiling water to destroy enzyme activity and pathogenic micro-organisms

19
Q

Quality management techniques

A

HACCP
occupational health and safety

20
Q

What is quality assurance

A

Is the co-operation of an organisation to achieve quality control of products

21
Q

Quality Assurance procedures

A
  • Final product specifications
  • Methods of measuring and assessing product quality
  • Clear specifications in all food production areas
  • Sampling and testing of the final product
22
Q

5 Production Systems

A
  1. Large-scale production system
  2. Small scaled production system
  3. Manual production
  4. Automation processing
  5. Computerisation
23
Q

Large-scale production system

A

Are used in large operations. They are based on production line to produces large volumes in short time

24
Q

Small scaled production system

A

Are used on a domestic level and are less complex

25
Q

Manual production

A

Involves the operator physically adding food components

26
Q

Automation processing

A

Involves the use of machinery to handle and control processing from raw materials to the finished product. Automated systems have pre-set conditions
e.g sterilisation temperatures

27
Q

Computerisation

A

Is used in automated systems through the use of sensors. Complex production schedules can be achieved due to the storage and transmittance of data

28
Q

Freezing - preservation

A

Is the storage of foods between the temperatures of -15 degrees and -30 degrees. Freezing inactivates but does not destroy enzymes, and it changes water to ice so it is not available for microbial growth

29
Q

Chilling - preservation

A

Is the storage of foods above freezing point and below 15 degrees. This process slows the growth and activity of enzymes and micro-organisms

30
Q

Lowering of Temperature in Preservation

A

Is the second method of preservation.
Examples of this method are chilling and freezing

31
Q

Raising of Temperature in Preservation

A

One of the food preservation methods
e.g canning/bottling, pasteurisation, ultra heat treatment and blanching

32
Q

Canning/Bottling

A

Aims to heat food to a point where commercial sterility is achieved yet the food is still edible

33
Q

The Two canning processes

A

Aseptic canning (foods are first heated and placed in sterile container and then closed)

Conventional canning (foods are placed in the container, sealed and then heated)
