Q. Hannah heats refrigerated rice which has been devoid of moisture and become dry. She heats it in a microwave. It gets unevenly heated. What should she do?
  • (A) water should be added for even heating
  • (B) she should heat it using equipment that offers conduction or convection
  • (C) none of the mentioned
  • (D) all of the mentioned
πŸ’¬ Discuss
βœ… Correct Answer: (A) water should be added for even heating

Explanation: water has a low dielectric constant due to the generation of friction due to rotation of dipoles. hence, water should be added for even heating.

Q. Although microwave heating can be used for drying of food containing uneven water content, it is isn’t done for certain food products like garlic. Why?
  • (A) no pasteurization
  • (B) essential oils being stripped off
  • (C) none of the mentioned
  • (D) no pasteurization & essential oils being stripped off
πŸ’¬ Discuss
βœ… Correct Answer: (D) no pasteurization & essential oils being stripped off

Explanation: for drying of garlic, the essential oils which are the volatile components of the garlic are stripped off from it.

Q. Microwave heating is good for puffed products. Why?
  • (A) the rate of heat transfer is less than the rate of moisture loss
  • (B) the heat transfer in these food items takes place so fast that instead of shrinking of the food items due to loss of moisture content, they stay intact and hence puffed
  • (C) none of the mentioned
  • (D) all of the mentioned
πŸ’¬ Discuss
βœ… Correct Answer: (B) the heat transfer in these food items takes place so fast that instead of shrinking of the food items due to loss of moisture content, they stay intact and hence puffed

Explanation: the heat transfer in these food items takes place so fast that instead of shrinking of the food items due to loss of moisture content, they stay intact and hence puffed.

  • (A) true
  • (B) false
  • (C) ---
  • (D) ---
πŸ’¬ Discuss
βœ… Correct Answer: (B) false

Explanation: rice has a lesser water activity than apples. apples contain higher water per 100 grams of dry material.
