121C…… 15mins (/)
130C…… 10mins
CHAPTER 4
What is the example of a defect in frozen foods?
Freezer burn
Recrystallization
Drip loss
Loss of functionality
Chemical reactions
What is the effect of fluctuation of storage temperature on food quality?
Recrystallization
What is the factor that affects the number of bugs that survive during freezing?
Number of bug
Type of bug
Storage temperature
Freezer burn is caused by the _____ of ice on the surface region of the product when the water pressure of ice is _____ than the vapour pressure in the environment.
Sublimation…….higher
What will happen to the myoglobin, the red pigment in meats if not packaged properly during freezing?
Oxidised
What is the process that will render the seafood products with black spots if they are not frozen and stored at right temperatures.
Melanosis
How to prevent lipid oxidation from happening?
Eliminate oxygen from the product

Natto
Kimchi
Kombucha
Sauerkraut
Miso
Does fermentation require oxygen?
No
What are the two products that can be produced from the fermentation process?
Lactic acid
Alcohol
What is the purpose of the fermentation process?
To preserve food
To destroy undesirable components
To enhance the nutritive value and appearance of the food
To reduce the energy required for cooking and to make a safer product.
What is the equipment used in the fermentation process?
Fermentor
CHAPTER 6
Give one example of irradiation process in food
Sterilization
Reduction of pathogens
Prolonging shelf life
Control of ripening
Disinfestation
Inhibition of sprouting
Does irradiation affect the nutrition in food ?
Yes
Do microorganisms in food will destroy during the irradiation process ?
Yes
Does fermentation have an application in food irradiation ?
No
CHAPTER 7
What is pulsed electric fields (PEF)
A non-thermal method of food preservation that uses short pulses of electricity.
What is used to generate a fast electrical discharge?
Pulse forming networks (PFN)
Three main advantages of Cryopreservation.
Once in storage no chance of new contamination of fungus or bacteria.
Minimum space required.
Minimum labour required.
How does high pressure processing preserve foods?
It inactivates harmful pathogens and food spoilage microorganisms by using high pressure.
