Q

Ripening:

A

Enzymes cause fruit to ripen and brown.

20
Q

Raising:

A

Enzymes cause bread to raise, as yeast + food + moisture + warmth = growing

28
What are the three methods of cooking?
Wet, Dry, Microwave oven
29
Dry methods of cooking:
Baking, Grilling, Frying, Roasting
30
Wet methods of cooking:
Boiling, Steaming, Stewing, Poaching
31
How does a microwave oven cook foods?
Emits waves that cause for molecules to vibrate rapidly, thus creating heat.
32
Advantages of a microwave oven:
Quick, Easy, Defrost, Reheat, Vegetables loose less vitamins
33
Disadvantages of a microwave oven:
Can spot cook, Doesn't brown foods, Can over or under cook, Cannot use metal or foil.
34
Ways of heat transfer:
Conduction, Convection, Radiation
35
Conduction:
Heat passes through a material to heat a substance. e.g.. flame boiling water in saucepan.
36
Convection:
Heat transfer by fluid or air. e.g.. in oven
37
Radiation:
Heat source does not touch food being cooked. eg. microwave.
38
What is a complex process?
A proces involving decision making that has a direct impact on the outcome of a recipe.
39
Examples of complex processes:
Cooking time, Cooking temperature, Ingredients, Deicding when to stop a process (mixing), Equipment used.
40
Preservation techniques:
Reducing moisture, Temperature, High pressure processing, PH level.
41
Reducing moisture to preserve:
Bacteria needs moisture to grow. Adding salt, Adding sugar, Dehydrating.
42
Temperature to preserve:
Bacteria cannot grow in high or low temperatures. Boiling, Freezing, Refrigeration, UHT
43
Reducing oxygen to preserve:
Bacteria needs oxygen to grow and to enter foods. Bottling, Canning
44
High pressure processing to preserve:
Food is put through high pressure processing to kill bacteria but remain same sensory properties.
45
PH level to preserve:
Bacteria cannot survive in acidic conditions.
