Food Processing Technology (7)

Science

Not quite remember

I easily remember

Methods used in food processing technology (freezing) (1)

Food is kept at a temperature of 0°C or lower so that it can last longer

Methods used in food processing technology (freezing) (2)

For example, meat is frozen at a temperature of –18°C to –24°C

Methods used in food processing technology (freezing) (3)

At temperatures less than –18°C: - enzyme action stops - the growth and reproduction of microorganisms are inhibited

Examples of food products processed through freezing (1)

Seafood

Fish

Methods used in food processing technology (irradiation) (1)

Food is exposed to ionising radiation such as gamma ray, ultraviolet ray and X-ray

Methods used in food processing technology (irradiation) (2)

Ionizing radiation is exposed to food to kill microorganisms

Methods used in food processing technology (irradiation) (3)

Ionizing radiation is used to kill microorganisms such as Salmonella sp. and Campylobacter sp. in raw meat and insects such as weevils in rice
