    What is a method that works by removing water from the food which inhibits the growth of microorganism and hinder quality of decay?

    • Canning

    • Drying

    • Freezing

    Correct Answer
    A. Drying
    Explanation
    Drying is a method that works by removing water from the food, which inhibits the growth of microorganisms and hinders the quality of decay. By removing water, drying creates an environment that is unfavorable for the growth of bacteria, yeast, and molds, which require moisture to survive and reproduce. This preservation method helps to extend the shelf life of food by reducing the water content, thus preventing spoilage and maintaining the quality of the food for longer periods of time.

    What are the three types of microorganism that cause the food spoilage?

    • Yeast , moulds and bacteria

    • Water, yeast and bacteria

    • Bacteria, air and yeast

    Correct Answer
    A. Yeast , moulds and bacteria
    Explanation
    Yeast, molds, and bacteria are the three types of microorganisms that cause food spoilage. Yeast is a type of fungus that ferments sugars and causes bread to rise, but it can also spoil food by producing off-flavors and odors. Molds are another type of fungus that grow on food surfaces and produce spores, leading to discoloration and deterioration of the food. Bacteria are single-celled organisms that can multiply rapidly and produce toxins, causing foodborne illnesses and spoilage. Together, these microorganisms can spoil food by breaking it down, altering its taste, texture, and appearance.

    In canning method, what are the two safe ways in processing the food? 

    • Boiling water bath method and pressure canner method

    • Boiling water bath method and sun dry

    • Pressure canner method and vacuuming

    Correct Answer
    A. Boiling water bath method and pressure canner method
    Explanation
    The correct answer is boiling water bath method and pressure canner method. These two methods are considered safe ways to process food in canning. The boiling water bath method involves submerging sealed jars of food in boiling water for a specified amount of time, while the pressure canner method uses a specialized canner that uses steam under pressure to heat the jars. Both methods help to kill bacteria and create a vacuum seal, ensuring the safety and preservation of the canned food.

    What is the best method in storing nuts?

    • Vacuum packing

    • Smoking

    • Drying

    Correct Answer
    A. Vacuum packing
    Explanation
    Vacuum packing is the best method for storing nuts because it removes the air from the packaging, preventing oxidation and the growth of bacteria or mold. This helps to maintain the freshness and quality of the nuts for a longer period of time. Vacuum packing also helps to preserve the flavor, texture, and nutritional value of the nuts, making it an ideal method for storage.

    What is the method that was replaced by freezing and refrigeration?

    • Canning

    • Salting

    • Pickling

    Correct Answer
    A. Salting
    Explanation
    Salting was the method that was replaced by freezing and refrigeration. Freezing and refrigeration became popular methods for preserving food because they are more effective at preventing spoilage and maintaining the quality of the food compared to salting. Salting involves coating or soaking food in salt to draw out moisture and inhibit the growth of bacteria. However, freezing and refrigeration provide a more controlled environment, keeping the food at low temperatures to slow down bacterial growth and maintain freshness for longer periods of time.
