    • Physical property

    • Organic property

    • Chemical property

    • Compound.

    Correct Answer
    A. Physical property
    Explanation
    A physical property is a characteristic that can be observed or measured without changing the substance into something else. It refers to properties such as color, density, melting point, boiling point, and conductivity, which can be determined through physical means without altering the chemical composition of the substance. This distinguishes it from chemical properties, which involve the ability of a substance to undergo a chemical change or reaction. Organic property and compound are not accurate choices as they do not specifically refer to characteristics that can be observed or measured without changing the substance.

    • Mouthfeel and sound

    • Taste and sound

    Correct Answer
    A. Mouthfeel and sound
    Explanation
    Texture is the combined effect of mouthfeel and sound. Mouthfeel refers to the physical sensations experienced in the mouth, such as the smoothness, chewiness, or creaminess of a food. Sound, on the other hand, refers to the auditory cues associated with texture, such as the crunchiness or sizzling sound of certain foods. Both mouthfeel and sound contribute to the overall perception of texture in food.

    Rate this question:

  • 34. 

    ________________________ is also called the "buffet disease."

    • Listeria Monocytogenes

    • E.coli

    • Salmonellosis

    • Staph

    Correct Answer
    A. Listeria Monocytogenes
    Explanation
    Listeria Monocytogenes is also called the "buffet disease" because it is commonly associated with foodborne outbreaks that occur in settings such as buffets or salad bars. This bacterium can contaminate a variety of foods, including deli meats, soft cheeses, and raw vegetables, and can cause a serious infection called listeriosis when consumed. Symptoms of listeriosis can include fever, muscle aches, and gastrointestinal issues, and it can be particularly dangerous for pregnant women, newborns, the elderly, and individuals with weakened immune systems. Therefore, Listeria Monocytogenes is referred to as the "buffet disease" due to its association with foodborne outbreaks in buffet-style settings.

    Check box(es) Question: When one thinks of  the Heat Trasfer CONDUCTION the following would be cooked by this method:

    • Grilling French Toast on a griddle

    • Boiling Spaghetti on the stove top

    • Making a hamburger on a barbeque grill

    • Making Pancakes

    Correct Answer(s)
    A. Grilling French Toast on a griddle
    A. Making Pancakes
    Explanation
    The correct answer is Grilling French Toast on a griddle and Making Pancakes. Both of these cooking methods involve direct contact between the food and a hot surface, which is a characteristic of conduction heat transfer. In both cases, the heat from the griddle is transferred to the food, cooking it evenly and creating a crispy texture.

    Checkbox(es) type question. Which of the following are great examples of Convection heat transfer?

    • Steaming veggies

    • Making Chicken noodle Soup

    • Broiling a steak

    • Microwaving a potato

    Correct Answer(s)
    A. Steaming veggies
    A. Making Chicken noodle Soup
    Explanation
    Steaming veggies and making chicken noodle soup are great examples of convection heat transfer because both involve the transfer of heat through the movement of a fluid (water or steam) around the food. In steaming, the heat from the boiling water transfers to the vegetables through the steam, while in making chicken noodle soup, the heat from the boiling broth transfers to the ingredients through convection currents. Broiling a steak and microwaving a potato, on the other hand, are examples of heat transfer through radiation and direct heat transfer respectively, not convection.
