Q. Niti brings home two packets. One is a pickle bottle and the other a tomato soup packet. After opening the packet, reading the expiry date and smelling them she realizes that they’re both spoiled. Which of these two would she anyway haven’t known (other than the expiry date) to be spoiled without opening?

View solution

Q. Which of the following is a reason for the addition of spice oils to certain foods for the reason of preservation?

View solution

Q. Statement 1: Salt inhibits the heat resistance of bacteria.
Statement 2: Phosphate ions are important in spore formation.

View solution

Q. Statement 1: Longer heating time is required to kill spores as the concentration of sugar increases.
Statement 2: Sugar helps in the preservation of food whereas salt does not.

Q. Statement 1: Sterilization value of steam depends largely on the transfer of heat of vaporization to the object upon which it condenses.
Statement 2: Canned food items which heat up by convection heat up faster than those by conduction.

Q. Which of the following food items is the lowest in heating up?

View solution

Q. Which of the following comes under the categories of food – broken curve heating food?

View solution

Q. Statement 1: In a thermocouple, two wires are of different materials and a voltage difference is created due to the conduction of each material at the juncture and this gives us the difference in temperature in both metals and hence the temperature of the liquid.
Statement 2: The zone of slowest heating in a container is called cold point of a container.

View solution

Q. Statement 1: The cold point of a food item getting heated up by convection has its cold point at the centre of the container on the vertical axis.
Statement 2: The cold point of a food item getting heated up by conduction has its cold point at the bottom of the container on the vertical axis.

Q. For canning technology, the cold point of the can is determined by soldering stuffing boxes and different depths in different boxes, a thermocouple in each box and a potentiometer in each box.

Q. Which of the following parameter is important to know and to plot the heating and cooling curves?

View solution

Q. The period of time elapsed from placing the cans into the retort and starting to heat until the retort reaches processing temperature is termed as _____

View solution

Q. Statement 1: The time required in minutes for a heating/cooling curve to traverse one log cycle is represented by its slope and denoted as fh and fc respectively.
Statement 2: The time when heating started is called the zero time.
