Q. If fats and oils prevent bacteria spore formation and help in pore formation, why is it difficult to kill yeast in a salad dressing?
  • (A) because the bacteria get stuck in the oil phase
  • (B) this statement is incorrect
  • (C) it is relative with respect to waster and hence better preserver
  • (D) none of the mentioned
πŸ’¬ Discuss
βœ… Correct Answer: (A) because the bacteria get stuck in the oil phase

Explanation: it difficult to kill yeast in a salad dressing because the bacteria get stuck in the oil phase.

Q. Statement 1: With the increase in temperature, the enzyme gets deactivated. Statement 2: With the increase in temperature, the enzyme gets reactivated.
  • (A) true, false
  • (B) true, true
  • (C) false, false
  • (D) false, true
πŸ’¬ Discuss
βœ… Correct Answer: (B) true, true

Explanation: both the statements are true. this is because some enzymes like peroxide get reactivated after heating.

Q. Which of the following food items is the lowest in heating up?
  • (A) broths and thin soup with negligible starch in it
  • (B) fruits packed in water/syrup with large pieces
  • (C) evaporated milk
  • (D) chopped vegetables with high starch content packed with free liquid
πŸ’¬ Discuss
βœ… Correct Answer: (D) chopped vegetables with high starch content packed with free liquid

Explanation: broths and thin soup with loads of starch in it. the starch in these solids

Q. Which of the following comes under the categories of food – broken curve heating food?
  • (A) evaporated milk
  • (B) fruits packed without water/syrup
  • (C) syrup packed with sweet potatoes
  • (D) all of the mentioned
πŸ’¬ Discuss
βœ… Correct Answer: (C) syrup packed with sweet potatoes

Explanation: in syrup packed with sweet potatoes, the heat transfer is through convection initially. but when the starch particles from the solids separate, they retard the heat transfer.

Q. Statement 1: In a thermocouple, two wires are of different materials and a voltage difference is created due to the conduction of each material at the juncture and this gives us the difference in temperature in both metals and hence the temperature of the liquid. Statement 2: The zone of slowest heating in a container is called cold point of a container.
  • (A) true, false
  • (B) true, true
  • (C) false, false
  • (D) false, true
πŸ’¬ Discuss
βœ… Correct Answer: (B) true, true

Explanation: in a thermocouple, two wires are of different materials and a voltage difference is created due to the conduction of each material at the juncture and this gives us the difference in temperature in both metals and hence the temperature of the liquid. all points inside a container do not heat up at
