Desiccation, a time-honored method of preserving food, is effective because the water content is too low to support metabolic function. freezing step of the process kills microbes. salt concentration is too low to support metabolic function. heat of the process kills microbes. UV light used in the process of sun drying penetrates effectively.

Which of the following is an example of pasteurization? A surgeon washes her hands before surgery. A public toilet is treated with disinfectants. A nurse prepares an injection site with an alcohol swab. An autoclave is used to prepare nutrient agar. Heat is used to kill potential pathogens in apple juice.
It is important to maintain a clean home and clean self because 1)_ We can make use of soap and detergent to make cleaning much 2)_ than using plain water. Soap and detergent are different ,4). 5) and aspects like in 3) 6). In making 7) natural materials are used like animal fats and vegetable oils, while in making 8) synthetic materials are used. 9) is more effective in hard water because there is no formation of scum or film. However, 10). is more environment friendly since it is biodegradable. We can attain good cleaning results when we try to alter these three energies namely, 11)_ 12) and 13) 14). can lower the surface tension of the t oun water while 15) can reduce water hardness. Even we use chemical-based soap and detergent in our daily life, we can still take good care the environment by 16) Soap and detergent are also important during the time of health crisis or pandemic because 17)
How moisture can be removed from food by freeze-drying method? Explain in detail.
_____ kills pathogens and some spoilage organisms but does not sterilize substances. _____ kills pathogens and some spoilage organisms but does not sterilize substances. Tyndallization Autoclaving Pasteurization Boiling
What statement correctly explains why moist-heat is more effective than dry-heat for sterilization purposes? The microbe's molecules are resistant to alteration in the absence of water. Dry heat will always be a lower temperature than moist heat. Dry heat dehydrates the microbes, and dehydration is a method of preserving microbes. Water is a good conductor of heat.
Radiation when applied will be more effective on gram negatives bacteria than any other pathogen of interest in food. True False
Besides dehydrated foods, how might the amount of water available to microbes be decreased? Group of answer choices Treatment by non-ionizing radiation. Treatment at high pressures for extended periods of time. Storage at temperatures between -2 and 4 °C. Pasteurization Addition of solutes such as salt or sugar.
The following are microbial products. Beside each product, identify the microorganisms producing it and briefly describe the function of the product. MSG yoghurt vinegar penicillin amylase glucose isomeraseg. proteases Taq polymerase Thermostable galactosidase thermostable DNA ligase
If high temperatures are most effective at killing microbes, what statement correctly explains why some food products are treated with temperatures below the boiling point of water? Extremely high temperatures would destroy the food's nutritional value. Extremely high temperatures would significantly lower the food's shelf life. Extremely high temperatures can destroy the food's desirable characteristics. Extremely high temperatures promote the growth of some microbes.
