Food Service I Flashcards
Concerned with the process of getting food from farm to the supermarket
Food Technology
Refers to the procedures or food preparation steps needed to change the food source
Food processing
Refers to the first step taken to change a food source to food
Primary processing
Curing, canning, freezing, or drying
Food preservation
A step further where meat may no longer have smeblance to the original sorce
Food manufacturing
Refers to any method with the objective of prolonging the length of time by which it retains its quality and appeal; increase shelf life
Food preservation
Process of ensuring that a number of factors are in place and will prevent growth of microrganisms
Hurdle concept
Water, PRO,CHO, and fat as well as the vitamin and minerals
Composition of food
Also known as the non-enzymatic browning reaction
Maillard reaction
The presence of oxygen oxidizes the polyphenols that which turn into yellow to brown. Best inactivates through blanching and soaking to lemon juice
Enzymatic browning
General term for enzymes that breakdown peptide bonds
Protease
Development of rancidity in fatty and oily food is mostly due to this chemical reaction
Oxidation reaction
Loss of organoleptic quality, functionality, nutrtional value and safety of food
Detoriation
Causes of detoriation
Enzymes
Microorganisms
Heat
Light
Oxygen
Other environmental factors

Foods with low moisture content and the shelf life is > 6 months
Shelf-stable foods
Has relatively higher moisture content. Has a shelf life of 2-6 months due to presearvation method
Semi-perishable foods
Very high moisture content, will easily spoil at room temperature
Perishable foods
Importance of food preservation
Availability of seasonal fruits all year
Prevents spoilage
Means of livelihood
Variation in diet

Means of livelihood
Variation in diet
Control microorganisms by::
Keeping microorganisms out of food
Remove
Delay microbial growth
Kill microbes
Control enzmes by:
Inactivate the enzymes
Prevent or delay chemical reaction
Role of food preservation
Eliminate any potential harm
Maintain quality of food
Maintain nutritional value
Science that deals with the signifcance and role of microorganisms in food
Food microbiology
Any adverse change that makes food unfit for humn consumption
Food spoilage
Occurs when people eat food that has been contaminated with harmful pathogens
Food poisoning
Acquired by consumption of contaminated food
Foodborne diseases
The transfer of germs or microbes from one food to another via non-food surface or equipment
Cross-contamination
Two or more people experience the same illness eating the same food
Foodborne outbreak
Type of spoilage that includes enzymatic reactions
Biochemical spoilage
Type of food spoilage that based on purely chemical reactions
Chemical detoriation
Type of spoilage caused by the conditions in the environment like temperature, light and storage
Physical detoriation
Type of food spoilage that is due to thee growth of microorganism and production of toxins in food
Spoilage by microorganism
Food becomes sticky, whiskey and locally colored
Moldiness and whiskers

Moldiness and whiskers
Watery soft ___ of fruits and vegetables
