Q. Beef carcasses need to be made devoid of their body heat before they’re sent for retail.

View solution

Q. Which of the following is true when it comes to meat carcass?

View solution

Q. Albumen thickness is directly proportional to the temperature at which egg solidifies.

View solution

Q. Statistics show that -1° C is the best temperature to store eggs. With respect to that result, the room temperature can be brought down to a lower value when needed for better results of storage.

View solution

Q. Statement 1: Meat is more perishable than fish.
Statement 2: At low temperatures, sometimes, the inside of the egg shell might solidify and expansion of the shell might lead to causing of the shell to crack.

View solution

Q. Shell thickness is directly proportional to the effect of storage of eggs.

Q. Which of the following is an important criteria for the packaging of a food material?

View solution

Q. Statement 1: Packaging material test is followed by formed container test.
Statement 2: Compression, impact and vibration and drop tests and standard/offset methods are some of the test for _____

View solution

Q. When the protein content is reduced, the moisture content is harder to control.

View solution

Q. Statement 1: α- amylase increases in the harvested grain which turns wet.
Statement 2: Damaged starch has _____ α- amylase.

View solution

Q. The physical property that influences the deterioration of grain is _____

View solution

Q. Statement 1: Heat from external sources penetrates into the grain bulk at a very slow rate.
Statement 2: Heat generated by microbes affects grain to a larger extent than the daily temperature fluctuations.

View solution

Q. With the increase in temperature, the amount of relative moisture in the atmosphere decreases.

View solution

Q. Which of the following factor affects the moisture content in a grain bulk?

View solution

Q. In aerobic respiration, hexose decomposes to carbon-di-oxide + Ethyl alcohol + Energy.

View solution

Q. Aerobic respiration leads to loss of moisture, rise in carbon-di-oxide and increase of temperature of grain.
