How do food scientists use heat to sterilize food?


✔✔ Heat destroys harmful microorganisms, extending shelf life and ensuring food safety, as

seen in canning and pasteurization.




What is the role of salt in food preservation?


✔✔ Salt draws moisture from food and inhibits the growth of bacteria, acting as a preservative in

products like cured meats and pickles.




How does food science influence flavor development during cooking?


✔✔ Chemical reactions like the Maillard reaction and caramelization enhance the depth of flavor

in cooked foods, making them more appealing.

, How does food fermentation affect the nutritional content of food?


✔✔ Fermentation can increase the availability of nutrients, such as B vitamins and probiotics, in

foods like yogurt and sauerkraut.




How does the presence of fats affect the texture of baked goods?


✔✔ Fats tenderize dough by shortening gluten strands, resulting in a softer, flakier texture in

products like pastries and cookies.




What is the significance of moisture content in meat processing?


✔✔ Moisture content affects texture, juiciness, and shelf life; too much moisture can lead to

spoilage, while too little can cause dryness.




How does oxidation impact the quality of fats in food?


✔✔ Oxidation leads to rancidity in fats, resulting in off-flavors and decreased shelf life in foods

like oils, nuts, and processed snacks.




What are the benefits of using high-pressure processing in food preservation?
