18
Q

moisture removal

A

to prevent microbes from growing(drying, dehydration, evaporation, evaporative moisture concen, intermediate moisture processing of 15-20% moisture, drum drying of fruits and veg, spray drying of eggs and milk, freeze drying for space food)

19
Q

heat treatment

A

preservation… nic appert(seal foods in can, high heat)

20
Q

low temp

A
  • cold temp storage to freeze as quickly as possible from danger zone of microbes
  • IQF: use of CO2 to quickly cool cooked foods from 160F to -10F in 10 mins(ground beef, chilli, asian dishes, vegs)
21
Q

acidity control

A

control pH of food thru acidulants

22
Q

nonthermal

A

preservation through packaging and chemical additives

23
Q

steralization

A
  • complete destruction of microbes
  • 121 C/250F of wet heat for 15 mins
  • not req to be safe or good shelf life
24
Q

commercially sterilef

A
  • all pathogenic, spoilage and toxin producing microbes destroyed
  • all particles in a food must reach the commercial ster temp for the specified time
  • snack pack pudding
25
Q

pasteurization

A
  • low temp heat treatment
  • destroys microbes that are bad for public health
  • extend shelf life from microbes and enzymes
  • must reach right temp
26
Q

flash pasteurization

A
  • higher temp for shorter time
  • aseptic processing
  • must reach temp for specified time
27
Q

blanching

A

to fruits and vegs to inactivate naturally ocurring enzymes in cell walls

28
Q

canning

A
  • Thermal death time to destroy Clostridium botulinum spores

- retort: heat seal with chamber of steam under pressure to transfer heat

29
Q

packaging

A
  • protects from bio, chem, phys factors from no contact
  • communication mediem
  • Modified Atmoshphere medium: to prevent oxidation of foods
30
Q

heat transfer

A

-heat energy transferred from heat source to food particles in container(can, bottle, pouch) through conduction(heat from all sides), radiation or convection(heat from bottom)

31
Q

D value

A
  • time required for microbe to pass thru one log cycle where 90% are killed
  • D121 is 121F
  • for bacillus stearothermophilus
32
Q

12D

A
  • 12 log cycles of temp
  • 1 in 10^12 cans have 1 spore of clostrid
  • took make sure food is safe
33
Q

High pressure processing

A
  • or pascalization
  • microbes not spores destroyed at high pressure throughout food
  • juice, yogurt, meats
  • already in package
34
Q

Pulsed light technology

A
  • brief bursts of high intensity light energy to damage cell membrane of bacteria without hurting food tissue(direct effect)
  • radiation
35
Q

radiation

A

emission of propogation of energy through matter or space by photons

36
Q

irradiation

A

the process of using radiation to foods by killing microbes without heating foods

  • like cold pasteurization
  • can be done when packaged
  • can cause free radical procction
  • seen in: dry/dehydrated, spices, fresh fruit and vegs, poultry, prok, meat, eggs, shellfish
37
Q

primary package

A

immediate contact with product with legal and marketing messages

38
Q

secondary

A

not in contact with product

  • branding and display for manufacturer to consumer
  • groups products packed together for handling, distrib and storage
  • safe transport of product
39
Q

tertiary

A
  • industrial

- not usually seen by consumer because removed by retailers before displayed

40
Q

unit load

A

combo of single units that can be easily moved by a pallet jack or fork lift

41
Q

functions of packaging

A
  • to contain product
  • protect product from environment
  • protect from tampering
  • communication of ingredients and info and marketing
  • utility to use again
  • convenience
  • functionality
42
Q

barrier properties

A
  • moisture for cereal and breads
  • oxygen for chips and coffee
  • light for oils and chips
43
Q

types of packaging

A
paperboard
cardboard
plastic
glass
metal 
laminates
