PROCESSING METHODS WITH
FACTORS CAUSING FOOD SPOILAGE Microorganism require water, nutrient, oxygen and a suitable temperature for optimal growth and reproduction. Microorganism can only survive in condition with optimum pH and solute concentration as these will not destroy them. Food can be preserved by destroying the microorganism present in the food or by stopping the activities of these microorganisms. METHOD OF PROCESSING AND PRESERVING FOOD Cooking Fermentation Drying of food Pasteurisation Radiation and canning (killing all microorganisms) Sterilisation Dehydration and freezing (stopping the activities of the microorganism) FOOD PROCESSING AND METHOD PRINCIPLES EXAMPLES PRESERVATION FOOD COOKING AT HIGH At high temperature Meat , vegetables, PROCESSING TEMPERATURES -kill microorganisms and fish a) COOKING OR BOILING FOR AT denature the enzymes LEAST 5 MINUTES -bacterial spores may be killed. b) Fermentation Yeast is added to fruit At high concentration Fruit juices, tapai process juices or other food -produce Ethanol (has ( fermentation of substances great commercial value) glutinous rice or tapioca) -stop the activity of the bacteria. c) Drying Drying under the hot -removes water from Fish, meat, fruits, sun, in hot air or in the food. Prevents flour and oven microorganisms from vegetables. growing -stop the enzymatic activity in food. -kill bacteri and other harmful microorganisms ( ultraviolet rays FOOD PROCESSING METHOD PRINCIPLES EXAMPLES AND PRESERVATION Preservation Food is soaked Most Chillies, ginger, a) Pickling food in an acidic microorganisms onions, mangos solution cannot lives in and papayas -vinegar low pH conditions b) Trating food with Food is soaked Microorganisms Meat, salt or sugar in a lose water vegetables, concentrated through ducks’ eggs, salt solution or osmosis in a fruits and milk boiled with hypertonic sugar. solution PASTEURISATION EXAMPLE : PASTEURISED MILK - destroy disease-causing bacteria ( causes tuberculosis and typhoid) - Purpose: -kill microorganisms while maintaining the nutrient contain and natural flavour of the milk - Unable to kill all type of bacteria. - Need to be stored in the refrigerator.
Other examples : fruit juices and soup.
CANNING Uses heat sterilisation method. Process of canning :- - The food is packed in can and steam at a high temperature and pressure.Than seal while the food is been cooled. - ADVANTAGES: - Food sterile can keep for long period. REFRIGERATION Preventing food spoilage used by household. Example: meat, fish and meat product can remain fresh for a long period of time at temperature below 0 C. Extremely low temperature prevent growth of microorganism or the germination of spores.
