4. Discussion
Our topic this morning is all about,
Explain the benefits derived from food
processing and preservation.

Let’s recall again what is food

processing and food preservation.
Kindly read Erika. Erika: Food processing is the set of
methods and techniques used to
transform raw ingredients into food
or food into other forms for
consumption by humans or animals
either in the home or by the food
processing industry.

Food processing typically takes clean,

harvested crops or slaughtered and
butchered animal products and uses
these to produce attractive, marketable,
and often long-life food products.
Can you give me an example of food that Milo: Breakfast Cereal, Milk and
is being processed, yes Milo? Cheese, Teacher.

Thank you. How about food Mardi: Food preservation is the

preservation, kindly read Mardi? process of treating and handling
food to spoilage, loss of quality and
edibility or nutritional value and thus
allow for longer food storage.

What food usually you preserve at your Jediah: We usually preserve food
refrigerator, Jediah? through freezing our Fish, Meats
and vegetables, Teacher. Class:
Dionesia Clap
 Notre Dame of Tacurong College
City of Tacurong

Let’s give a Dionesia clap for Erika, Milo,

Mardi and Jediah.

Thank you. Okay class, now why do you

think we process and preserve foods?

Yes Imee? Imee: We preserved food to prevent

food spoilage until it can be
consumed, Teacher.
Brilliant idea, Imee.
Here are the Benefits derived from of
food processing and preservation.

1. Safety. During food processing,

products are treated to destroy
harmful bacteria and extend self- Class: Safety. During food
life. processing, products are treated to
destroy harmful bacteria and extend
self-life.

What do you think are the processing

methods that destroy harmful
microorganism? Yes, Kriscelle? Kriscelle: Drying, pasteurization
pickling, and smoking, Teacher.

Very good Kriscelle!

Explanation: Many processing

techniques ensure the safety of foods by
reducing the numbers of harmful bacteria
that can cause illness (e.g. pasteurization
of milk).

Why do you think drying, pickling and

smoking can destroy the bacteria?
Queenie: Drying, pickling and
Yes Queenie? smoking reduce the water activity (
water available for bacterial growth
).

Very well said Queenie, in addition for

that it also alters the pH of foods and
thereby restrict the growth of pathogenic
and spoilage microorganisms and retard
enzyme reactions. Processed foods can
also be life-saving in emergency
situations like natural disasters.
 Notre Dame of Tacurong College
City of Tacurong

What are those processed food we keep

during calamities?
Yes, Juliefe?
Juilefe: Can goods and instant
noodles, Teacher.

Very good! Let’s proceed.

Kindly Read the number 2, Darwin?

Darwin: 2. Nutritional Quality. Food
processing allows key nutrients to be
sealed in right after harvesting.

Explanation: This in turn means that

individuals get more nutrients from the
food they eat. Processed foods can also
be fortified with additional nutrients such
as vitamins, minerals, and fiber to boost
the health profile of foods. Individuals
trying to optimize their health can
consume these foods to address their
specific needs.

What examples of products you can give

with this benefit of food processed? Yes,
Chrisna?
Chrisna: Del Monte Juice, Tomato
paste or sauce and chocolates,
Teacher.
Awesome!
Cooking and canning tomatoes to make
tomato paste or sauce renders the
bioactive compound lycopene. Cocoa
and chocolate processing preserve the
levels of flavonoids like epicatechin and
catechins, but their contents can be
reduced with poor processing conditions.
Lycopene and flavonoids have
antioxidant properties which, according to
some research, contribute to
maintenance of heart health and may
reduce the risk of certain cancers.

Kindly read the number 3, Aimae?

Aimae: Convenience. Food
processing extends the shelf life of
food which means that food lasts
longer with less waste due to
spoilage.
Thank you Aimae. Do you know class that
there are types of food?

Class: Yes, Teacher.

 Notre Dame of Tacurong College
City of Tacurong

What are those types? Yes, Dominic? Dominic: Perishable, Semi-

Perishable and Shelf Stable.

Explanation: Perishable foods such as

meat, vegetables and milk. The
application of modified atmosphere
packaging means that fruit and
vegetables can be stored at home for
longer, thus meaning less frequent food
shopping for fresh items and less
spoilage loss. Sophisticated storage and
packaging enable convenience for the
consumer.

Kindly read the number 4.

(Reducing health inequalities and

concerns). What are your thoughts about Reducing health inequalities and
this benefit? Yes, Angielyn? concerns.

Angielyn: For me teacher, those

process foods we take have a
nutritional box at the back of the
packaging that we can check,
because Manufacturers have
applied food processing techniques
to offer consumers the choice of low
fat or fat-free versions of many foods
and meals.

Very well said, Angielyn. Let’s give her 5

claps.

Chronic diseases such as heart disease,

obesity and diabetes can be managed, in
part, through dietary strategies. In
response to this, manufacturers have
applied food processing techniques
enabling consumers to make food
choices suitable for their individual health
requirements.

Kindly read the number 5, Sheena?

Sheena: Price. Food processing can
decrease the cost of foods.
Why do you think the price will be get
cheaper if it is processed foods?
Lucille?
Lucille: For me teacher, processing
increases the shelf life of food and
decreases the amount of waste,
reducing thereby overall costs of
food production.
Excellent!
 Notre Dame of Tacurong College
City of Tacurong

Food processing can decrease the cost of

foods. For example, frozen vegetables
have a similar nutritional value as fresh
ones, but a lower price, as they have
already been prepared, do not contain
inedible parts, can be bought in bulk and
can last longer.
During this pandemic, did you class
preserve food at your home, and what
are those? Yes, Jelyn Mae?
Jelyn Mae: Since it is difficult to go
outside during this pandemic, my
mom usually buys food that can’t
easily spoil and she also preserve
foods such as meat and vegies, easy
to cook food, and, making jams and
atsara, Teacher.
Excellent Jelyn Mae!
Generalization
Again class, what are the 5 benefits of
food processing and preservation.
Yes, Bless?
Bless: For safety, Nutritional quality,
Convenience, Reducing health
inequalities and concerns and the
price, Teacher.

Is Bless correct, Daisy?

Daisy: Yes, she is.

Excellent!

Why is Nutritional quality being one of

the benefits of processed and preserve
food? Yes, Mechelle? Mechelle: Processed foods can also
be fortified with additional nutrients
such as vitamins, minerals, and fiber
to boost the health profile of foods,
Teacher.

Very well said, Mechelle.

How about the price of the food, is it also

one of the benefits?
Yes Gerlie? Gerlie: Yes, Teacher. Processing
increases the shelf life and decrease
the cost of foods.

Is that correct class?

Class: Yes, she is.
