Refrigeration & Freezing
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| The temperature of refrigeration is between? | between 0 C and 8 C |
| Refrigeration is used for? | fresh food |
| Refrigeration is used for fresh food to? | slow down microbial growth |
| Refrigeration slows down _____ and _______ processes in foods. | chemical and biological |
| Refrigeration slows down the deterioration and loss of _____ and _______. | quality and nutrients |
| The temperature of freezing is between? | -18 C and -35 C |
| Freezing depends on the type of product, thus making _________ impossible. | bacterial growth |
| Which type of freezing produces large ice crystals that punch through cell membranes | slow freezing |
| when foods with ____ ice crystals thaw, there is more dripping and loss of liquid | large |
| In ______ freezing, cells do not regain their original shape and turgidity | slow |
| In _____ freezing, food is softened and the cellular material leaks out from ruptured cells | slow |
| In ______ freezing, the faster food freezes, the smaller the crystals that form | fast |
| the faster food freezes, the ______ the crystals that form | smaller |
| small crystals do _____ damage to cell walls | less |
| Fast freezing does _____ dehydration of cells | minimal |
| In ____ freezing, texture of food is retained to a greater extent. | fast |
| _________ cause loss of color, flavor, and nutrient | Enzymes |
| fresh produce contains chemical compounds called ______which cause the loss of color, nutrients, flavor changes, and color changes in frozen fruits and vegetables. these ______ must be inactivated to prevent such reactions from taking place | enzymes |
| One of the effects of freezing is the development of _______ | rancid oxidative flavors |
| development of rancid oxidative flavors through contact of the frozen product with ____. this problem can be controlled by using a wrapping material that does not permit it to pass into the product | air |
| Effects of freezing: Fruits and vegetables that are much _______ when frozen and thawed. | softer |
| when water freezes, it expands and the ________ cause the cell walls to rupture. consequently, the texture of the produce, when thawed, will be much softer than it was when raw | ice crystals |
| Effects of freezing: __________ - or ice crystals evaporating from the surface area of a product, produces freezer burn | moisture loss |
| a grainy, brownish spot where the tissue becomes dry and tough | freezer burn |
| Freezer burn - a grainy, brownish spot where the tissue becomes ___________ | dry and tough |
| ___________: this surface food dried area is very likely developed off flavors | moisture loss |
| characterized by internal discoloration, soft scald, skin blemishes, soggy breakdown, and failure to ripen | chilling injury |
| characterized by rubber texture, browning bursting, and drying due to rapid moisture loss | freezing injury |
| Do not defrost food at ____ temperature | room |
| a lot of bacteria proliferate very easily at temperatures between _________ C | 4 and 40 |
| surface of food will inevitably thaw first, generating a layer of _____ on that surface which will favor the growth of these bacteria | water |
| Slow Defrost: thawing should ideally be carried out at a temperature which is around _ C | 4 |
| Slow defrost is carried out inside the __________ | refrigerator |
| _____ defrost helps to restore the original properties of the food, and the proliferation of bacteria will be prolonged | slow |
| Microwaving food is an example of _____ defrost | fast |
| microwave as a way of defrosting is best used on __________ | noodles, broth, fruit, vegetables |
| Microwave is not best for __________ as it tends to thaw unevenly in the microwave | frozen meats |
