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.

Q. By plotting the C/t values obtained from a thermal death time curve, a curve is obtained. How is the lethal value obtained from this curve?

View solution

Q. Statement 1: In thermal death time curve, after plotting C/t values from it, C value should be equal to C₀ value.
Statement 2: When C₀ value versus process time in minutes is plotted on a linear graph paper, a straight line is obtained.

Q. Statement 1: Which of the following methods is used to determine process times for products?
Statement 2: Which of the conditions is the above method used in?

View solution

Q. Statement 1: In low and medium acid foods, spore forming organisms are observed.
Statement 2: In acidic products, the organisms must be yeasts, molds etc.

View solution

Q. Statement 1: The swelling of cans takes place due to the release of hydrogen gas.
Statement 2: The swelling of cans takes place due to the release of carbon dioxide gas due to molasses and malt extracts.

View solution

Q. Statement 1: Corrosion of cans is more complicated than that of tin and iron alone. Depending on whether the tin forms a complex or not, it acts as the anode or cathode.
Statement 2: In the corrosion process, if hydrogen is not evolved, it exerts a back pressure and opposes further oxidation of iron.

Statement 2: When canned foods with vacuum are taking onto flights, they _____

View solution

Q. Statement 1: Raising the temperature of the room by 10 °C will halve the storage life of that commodity.
Statement 2: Chemical reactions taking place during storage of canned foods will affect colour, texture and nutritive value of foods.
