bone
4
Q
deficiency in children?
A
no growth, poor bones and teeth, malformed bones (rickets)
5
Q
how is calcium deficiency related to lead?
A
lead stored in bones, calcium too low= Ca extracted from bones= no bone to store lead= lead too much in blood
6
Q

A
holes in bones related to calcium. strong genetic, age and hormonal components; women past menopause and elderly (major cause of broken bones)
7
Q
what causes Osteoporosis?
A
由于genetic, 当 sex hormone 减少，calcium metabolism 改变, 难absorb。
8
Q
why does Osteoporosis affect women mostly?
A
female 比 male 早过 menopause, 比较早停止制作hormone。而且女生活的比较久，男的在还没这个病前就挂了。
9

bones
13
Q
Mg func?
A
essential for enzyme tt react with ATP (for energy)
14

16
Q
who would most likely have Mg deficiencies? why?
A
alcoholics/people with kidney disease/ppl who lose fluid, cuz kidney manage mineral concen
17

what is Spray drying? how is it done? what is it used on and not used on?
gives high quality product. material sprayed into a column of hot air and the water evaporates. limited to fluid enough products. (not for mashed potatoes)
169
how is Drum drying done? what are the advantages and disadvantages? what is it used on?
把东西放在 heated stainless steel drum. high temperature causes more off flavors than with spray drying, but almost any product can be drum dried. viscous products like pumpkin, potatoes, etc.
170
how is Freeze drying done? what are the advantages and disadvantages? what are some products that can use this?
在fairly low temperature, 一个冻住的东西碰到vacuum，水会从固体到气体= sublimation. gentle, but expensive. instant coffees and other high value products. Almost anything can be freeze dried including pets.
171
how is Refrigeration done?
slows all and stops most growth. doesn’t make food last forever, but it greatly increases the time before spoilage is a problem.
172
what is the only pathogen that can grow in the cold?
listeria
173
how is frozen done? what are the advantages and disadvantages?
cold and dry. water 变成 ice 所以no microbial growth. 只要frozen就可以last forever, with minimal loss of quality. storage time is limited by the chemical changes that still happen. defrost
174
what are some ways to defrost? what are the advantages and disadvantages? p44
1）放冰箱里解冻防止进入室温，但较久。2）放入room temperature：比较快。直接煮可以，但放太久会有microbial growth，还是可以吃，但是微生物会造成deterioration而变不好吃。3）microwave：比较快但很难控制。为了防止大块的东西外面先熟，可以放冷水（水transfer heat比air快）。记得放在cool temperature
175
Once a product is thawed can it be frozen again? and then thawed again?
yes. thawed=会有可能microbial growth and loss of quality. more care in defrosting= less quality will be lost
176
how is fermentation done?
breakdown carbohydrates under anaerobic conditions，由此产生 acid, alcohol, flavor compounds. encourage the growth of certain microorganisms, prevent spoilage
177
we can control which 3 factors to control fermentation?
pH, Salt content, Temperature
178
what are some products that use fermentation?
Bread, Beer, Pickles, Wine, Vinegar, Cheese, Tea, Coffee, Sauerkraut, Sausage, Yogurt, Soy sauce
179
how is fermentation done differently for diff products? p45
add flavor (wine) Remove or alter flavors (soy sauce) Alter chemical characteristics: Sugar to ethanol (beer) Ethanol to acetic acid (vinegar) Sugar to lactic acid (cheese)
180
how is Irradiation done? what are the diff types? p45
high energy waves to kill microorganisms. (shorter wavelength higher energy) alpha: He nucleus; beta: electrons; gamma: electromagnetic radiation
181
how is traditional and new irradiation diff?
传统：需要 radioactive element, 安全和 radioactive waste的问题。新的：像 dental or medical x-ray generators。用 high current electron beam to generate the high energy particles，没有东西会变得 radioactive
182
how does ionizing radiation kill microorganisms? p45
Direct effects: particles里的能量直接interacts molecules in the cell or spore，造成damage。Indirect effects: 形成 reactive species in water 并react with cellular molecules to kill the cell. 大部分杀菌是 indirect effects.
183
where is irradiation commonly used? what is easy to kill and what is not? why?
inactivate enzymes, kill bacterial cells/spores, kill insects. 用来杀孢子用的能量比杀虫多，dry food里杀虫很有效，因为虫里的水分让他们很好杀。例如dry grain and spices
184
why is the use of irradiation limited (disadvantages) ? p45
用来杀cell的 ions 会造成food molecules breakdown。Radicals 和lipid react 会造成 off-flavor, 但如果没有水就比较不会。但是还是可以sterile lipid food而不走位，只是如果要用radiation生产 sterile product会很expensive 。表面 pasteurization 还是 practical。
185
how is irradiation done?
ionizing radiation: high energy particle 穿过 water, 产生出 highly reactive free radicals (and ions), 和 proteins or DNA react。energy被DNA吸收，最后摧毁bacteria/cell。它们只有一个copy of 一个 chromosome，而且没有membrane保护。 damage程度和水量相关
186
what should be labeled as irradiated?
grain and spices not labeled cuz they are ingredients. things like hot dog, must be labeled
187
is irradiation safe considering the radioactivity? why or why not? is it nutritious?
safer than 以前用的 chemical treatments。没有 radioactivity。以前常用在medical devices上。和用conventional 方法的食物一样nutritious。
188
besides food, what other things commonly use irradiation? how is it done? what is the advantages?
medical materials with fluids for injection (syringes, IV bags and IV lines) sterilized after packaging so no contamination (no off flavors). 比起以前用chemical treatments， 现在对运作的人和要使用的人都比较安全
189
why is irradiation treated as addictive even tho it is a process? why must the product labeled?
FDA 只能要求addictive被label,不能控制一个process然后要求label。可是consumer会想要知道
190
how is irradiation used on pasteurization?
一个东西消毒后再包装还是有可能感染。irradiation可以穿透包装消毒。所以会 involve pasteurization 去消除 salmonella, E. coli and listeria
191
what are the problems that irradiation is facing? (disadvantages)
Consumer acceptance, Plants - NIMBY (工厂不要在我家旁边！）High cost to sterilize，Anti nuclear lobby
192
factors that affect Ca absorption?
vit D needed, P compete
193
would increased Ca save osteoporosis?
no, cuz the prob is poor absorption
194
how was goiter prevented?
adding iodine to salt
195
why are thiamin, niacin, and riboflavin removed from food labeling and cholesterol added?
没有人对那三个有兴趣，比较在乎cholesterol
196
How few calories should you consume per day without medical supervision?
below 1200kcal/day 需要supervision
197
If you have been loosing weight for 2 or 3 weeks, your body will become more or less efficient?
BMR low=more efficient
