Summer Assessment 3 Flashcards
2 advantages and disadvantages of buying fairtrade ingredients
- supports farmers in less developed countries
- improves food security
- products are more expensive
- limited customer base (ppl not bothered by fairtrade)
4 advantages of buying locally produced and seasonal ingredients
- local food is better for environment
- local food is fresher and tastier as it reaches customer soon after its been harvested
- buying locally supports local businesses
- produce can be cheap
-
explain 4 different factors that influenece food choice when planning a meal
- income
- culinary skills
- cost of food
- avaliability
explain the process of milk pasteurisation
- milk heated to 72 degrees for 15 seconds
- then rapidly cooled
explain the process of formation of curds and whey
-as the pasteurised milk solidifies it forms curds and whey
explain the process of the aging and maturing of cheese
- as the cheese ages molecular changes take place that cause cheese to harden and flavour to intensify
- aging can take many years
- while aging cheese should be stored in cool environment
analyse and evaluate why an increasing number of customers are choosing organic food and drink
- organic foods are more flavoursome
- appeals to customers who are concerned about use of artificial chemicals and damage to environment
- fewer non renewable resources are used in intensive farming so organic is more sustainable
- reduces amount of chemical pesticides going onto land- less harmful to environment
providing a reliable source of safe nutritious affordable food is a definition of
food security

132
religion of judaism forbids which food to be eaten

lactose
why was the pastry tough
-explain how you could prevent this
over kneading and oven isn’t set high enough-
you can prevent this by handling dough mixture as little as possible and work quickly and lightly to minimise development of flours gluten content
why has the pastry shrunk
-explain how you could prevent this
- over kneading
- don’t knead to much
- also keep pastry chilled for about 30 mins as gluten relaxes when the pastry is chilled preventing it from shrinking in the oven
- why has pastry gone lumpy and did not set
- how can you prevent this from happening
-custard curdled- when adding the milk to the egg yolk mixture whisk fast to avoid the custard curdling- this then creates a lumpy filling
–you can prevent this by whisking the milk and egg quickly
- why does the pastry have an undercooked taste
- how can you prevent this from happening
- baked on too low a temp for not enough time
- bake for longer and on a higher temp
What is secondary processing
When raw primary processed ingredients are processed to produce a food product
Give 3 examples of secondary food processing
- Flour turned into bread/ pasta
- Fruit turned into jam
- Milk turned into cheese and yoghurt
Name 4 ways milk is heated to kill bacteria
- pasteurisation- 72oC for 15 mins- extends shelf life
- ultra heat treatment (UHT)-135oC 1-4 secs- 6 months shelf life
- sterilisation- - longer shelf life- 12 moths- 110oC 10-30 mins- caramel flavour
- microfiltraion-extends shelf life
What is primary processing
-it prepares raw foods so they are ready to be eaten or cooked
What is Fairtrade
- supporting farmers and workers in less developed countries and encouraging sustainable food production
- ensures farmers get a decent price for their trade and have improved working conditions
Name the process how flour is made
- Wheat grains are harvested and cleaned to remove any stones
- The grains are stored in dry conditions to prevent moulds from growing on them
- grains are put in a hopper and are crushed between rollers that crack open the grain
Definition of food miles
- the distance food travels from where it is produced to the customer
- bad for envirnoment
examples of seasonal foods
-apples and pears- september to december
