Q. Bacterial spoilage is most likely to occur at which water activity? 0.9 0.7 0.5 0.3

0.9 The water activity of a food is the ratio between the vapor pressure of the food itself, when in a completely undisturbed balance with the surrounding air media, and the vapor pressure of distilled water under identical conditions. A water activity of 0.80 means the vapor pressure is 80% of that of pure water. The water activity increases with temperature. The moisture condition of a product can be measured as the equilibrium relative humidity expressed in percentage or as the water activity expressed as a decimal. The higher the water activity, the more likely the food is to spoil. Brown AC. Understanding Food: Principles and Preparation. 5th ed. Boston, MA: Cengage; 2014.

Q. Which of the following is an application of nanotechnology in the foodservice industry? Computer software that manages inventory via the tracking of sales Foodservice storage containers that are permeable to gasses that contribute to spoilage A frying oil that catalytically inhibits the thermal polymerization of the oil Increasing the concentration of vitamin D in low-fat dairy products to increase the potential for absorption

A frying oil that catalytically inhibits the thermal polymerization of the oil There is a catalytic device that conditions frying oil through the use of nanotechnology. By catalytically inhibiting the thermal polymerization of frying oil, the product promises to slow the oil's deterioration, thus preserving its freshness and lengthening its use. The result is crispier fries, higher food quality, and reduced oil and disposal costs.

Q. Building an appropriate protein matrix is essential for achieving the proper quality features in baked goods. Increasing the amount of sugar in a recipe will have which of the following effects on gluten development and the mixing process? Added sugar will speed gluten development and require more manipulation. Added sugar will slow gluten development and require more manipulation. Added sugar will speed gluten development and require less manipulation. Added sugar will slow gluten development and require less manipulation.

Added sugar will slow gluten development and require more manipulation. When sugar is added to a dough or batter mixture, the sugar will compete with the starch for the water in the dough or batter. Reducing the amount of available water will slow gluten development and will increase mixing (manipulation) times for the dough or batter. McWilliams M. Foods: Experimental Perspectives. 8th ed.

Q. What gauge of stainless steel is most common in foodservice operations? 14 16 18 All of the above.

All of the above Foodservice operations utilize 14, 16, and 18 gauge stainless steel most frequently. The lower the gauge number is, the thicker the metal is.

Q. The tricarboxylic cycle begins with the conversion of pyruvate to acetyl CoA. oxaloacetate. ATP. hydrogen ions.

acetyl CoA The tricarboxylic cycle, also known as the Krebs cycle, uses the two molecules of pyruvic acid formed in glycolysis and yields adenosine triphosphate. Before entering the Krebs cycle, the pyruvic acid molecules are altered. Each of the three carbon pyruvic acid molecules undergoes conversion to a substance called acetyl-CoA. In the process, electrons and a hydrogen ion are transferred to nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD). The NAD molecule also acquires a hydrogen ion and becomes NADH. At the end of the Krebs cycle, the final product is oxaloacetic acid. This is identical to the oxaloacetic acid that begins the cycle. Whitney EN, Rolfes S. Understanding Nutrition. 13th ed. Boston, MA: Cengage; 2012.

Q. Which fat would be most susceptible to flavor reversion due to oxidative rancidity? a. Butter fat b. Coconut oil c. Soybean oil d. Olive oil

c. Soybean oil Oxidative rancidity is associated with the degradation by oxygen in the air. Oxidation primarily occurs with unsaturated fats. The more saturated fat contained in an oil, the less susceptible it is to rancidity. The greater the amount of unsaturated fat in an oil, the more likely it is to become rancid. Since the healthiest plant oils are all highly unsaturated, they are especially susceptible to rancidity. However, extra virgin olive oil is a little less susceptible to rancidity because a larger amount of its unsaturated fat is monounsaturated. Extra virgin olive is about 75% monounsaturated, which is somewhat unusual for a plant oil. Plant oils usually have more polyunsaturated fat than monounsaturated fat, which is one reason they are particularly susceptible to rancidity. Thus, soybean oil would be more susceptible than olive oil.

Q. Which food is most likely to deteriorate due to hydrolytic rancidity during storage at room temperature? a. Fish oil b. Soybean oil c. Olive oil d. Butter

d. Butter Hydrolytic rancidity occurs when water splits fatty acid chains away from the glycerol backbone in triglycerides (fats). The chemical term is ester hydrolysis. Usually this hydrolysis process goes unnoticed, since most fatty acids are odorless and tasteless. However, when the triglyceride is derived from short-chain fatty acids, the released carboxylic acid can confer strong flavors and odors. A particular problem arises with butter, which contains triglycerides with a high content of butyric acid derivatives and acetic acids.
