    Effect of Acid and Sugar on the Rheology and Flow Properties of Corn Starch Paste

    Each method was prepared by a separate group and results were recorded for collective use. Method A served as the control which included one tablespoon (16 g) of cornstarch heated in an aluminum pot with the gradual addition of one cup of water (236 ml). The mixture was stirred prominently to prevent lumping while the boiling temperature was reached. The mixture was removed from the heat after boiling and allowed to cool at room temperature until 60 degrees C (140 degrees F) was measured using a thermometer. A line spread test was performed to measure the spread of ¼ cup of the warm mixture. A metallic cylinder held the paste until it was released onto the line spread mat. After 30 seconds of flowing, four readings were recorded to average the spread. This…

    Food Safety Bulletin

    As consumers, we readily forget that the foods that we purchase are prepared, either packed, or ready to eat. However, before these foods arrive at groceries or restaurants, they go through some tough inspections and pass numerous tests before they are released to the public. The safety concerns should not stop there. When you purchase foods, proper handling and storing should be applied. Take meats for example: they need to be stored at a temperature below 40˚F. Bacteria grow most rapidly in the range of temperatures between 40˚F-140˚F. They can double in number in as little as twenty minutes.…

    Food Irradiation

    People all over the world are starving for fresh, uncontaminated food. Insects, pests, and invisible microorganisms are not what the public want to find on their dinner plates. Throughout history, life has depended on ways of treating food to reduce or destroy these naturally occurring harmful contaminants and to enable foods to be stored after harvesting so that they can be saved for use at other times of the year. With increasing populations and the growth of cities, it is even more important to be able to preserve food so that it can be transported over considerable distances and stored for long periods before it reaches the consumer.…

    Method of Food Preparation

    METHODS OF FOOD PREPARATION Because guests often ask how food on the menu is prepared, you should know the more common preparation methods, as follows: • Baked Cooked by dry, continuous heat in an oven • Boiled Cooked in liquid at the boiling temperature of 100°C ( 212°F) at sea level, so that bubbles rise to the surface and break • Braised Browned in a small amount of fat and then cooked slowly in a little liquid in a covered pan • Broiled Cooked by direct heat, either under the source of heat, as in a broiler, or over the source of heat, as on a “plancha” or flat surface • Fried Cooked in fat. Deep-fried means cooked while immersed in a large amount of fat. • Grilled Cooked over direct heat, usually hot coals or grill • Pan-broiled Cooked in a heavy frying pan over direct heat, using little or no fat (same as broiled) • Poached Simmered in enough liquid to cover the food always below the boiling point, usually at 65°>85°C • Roasted Cooked uncovered without liquids added, usually in an oven • Sautéed or Pan fried Browned or cooked in a small amount of hot fat • Simmered Cooked gently in a liquid over low heat just below the boiling point • Steamed Cooked in steam with or without pressure • Stewed Simmered slowly in a little amount of liquid, covered with a lid • Gratinated (au gratin) cheese topped dish, grilled in a salamander oven presenting a brown/golden crust. • Glazed Cooked in an oven or pan, food is coated with a glossy, sweet or savory substance applied to food by dipping, dripping or with a brush.
