how does freezing preserve food

• bacteria becomes dormant when food is frozen and when it defrosts they turn active again

• preserves nutrients and increases shelf life

whats a use by date on the food packaging

• on high risk foods or foods with short shelf lives

• safety warning as greater risk of developing food poisoning after use by date

whats the best before date on packaging

• displayed on foods with longer shelf life

• acts as a quality warning as even though food may still be edible it may not taste as good

whats the aim of food preservation

to prevent food spoilage as a result of growth of micro-organisms and breakdown of food by enzymes

what are the conditions microorganisms need for growth and multipplication

• food

• warmth

• moisture

• optimal ph

• time

how does pickling food make it less suitable for microorganisms

makes ph more acidic and therefore less suitable for microrganisms

how does salting food and sugar preservations make it less suitable for microogranisms

reduces moisture content making less suitable for microorganisms

why are high risk foods high risk

contain lots of protein and water so theres a risk of bacteria multiplying rapidly

what temperature does a freezer have to be at

\-18 degrees celcius

what are some disadvantages of freezing food

large ice crystals are formed when food is slowly frozen and when its defrosted , water enclosed in within the cells is released

what are some foods microorganisms are used in the production of

bread (yeast) , cheese, yogurt , wine

what is fermentation

chemical change/process by which bacteria ‘eat’ sugars and produce acids and gas as waste

how are microorganisms used in the production of blue cheese

• cheese is treated with mould which contains microorganisms

• microorganisms develop as the cheese matures

• continues to develop to give blue veined appearance and developing flavour

what are the negative effects of microorganisms

• can give you food poisoning

• can change flavour, texture and appearance of food

• can make it spoil faster

what are the 12 mandatory (needed by law ) things on food packaging

4. Storage instructions

5. contact details of the manufacturer

6. instructions for use

7. ingredients

8. Cooking instructions

9. The lot number

10. Warnings

11. Nutrition Declaration

12. Allergies information

why si food packaging needed

• protect product

• contain product

• provide information on product

• prevent tampering

• to preserve product

whats flours purpose in bread making

• provides structure

• contains proteins that when water is added, develops into gluten which helps dough rise by trapping gas bubbles during fermentation and gives bread its unique texture.

whats salts purpose in bread making

tightens the gluten strands that are formed, which makes them stronger and the gluten more able to hold carbon dioxide more efficiently

whats an enriched yeast dough

• A dough made with butter, sugar, eggs or oil.

• Enriched doughs are softer and richer than those made solely with flour, water, salt and yeast.
