three types of food spoilage
Chemical, Physical, Microbiological
Describe one type of food spoilage
Physical: Physical damage to the protective outer layer of food during harvesting, processing, or distribution.
Chemical: The two major chemical changes which occur during the processing and storage of foods are rancidity and enzymic spoilage.
Microbiological: Microorganisms like mold, yeast, and bacteria do not cause disease but they spoil food, making it unfit for human consumption.

proper food storage that would prevent food poisoning
Refrigeration, vacuum packing, freezing
government's role in promoting public health

how BMI is calculated, including what 2 components determine BMI
multiplying height in meters, by weight in kilograms. (2 components are height and weight)

BMI of 35.56 kg/m^2
a) Compare antioxidants and carcinogens
b) List 3 carcinogens
c) List 3 antioxidants
a) Carcinogens are cancer causing agents, whereas antioxidants are substances that inhibit oxidation or reactions promoted by oxygen

several factors that have been shown to cause obesity
Lack of exercise, genetics, excessive calorie intake
a) Define the term overweight
b) Define the term obesity
a) having a BMI of at least 25kg/m2
b) having a BMI of at least 30kg/m2
three third-world countries
Haiti, India, Zimbabwe, Rwanda, Saudi Arabia, Cuba
Define the word poverty
shortage of common things (such as food, clothing, shelter and safe drinking water) essential to life
three factors that the Human Development Index uses to rank countries
Life expectancy, literacy, and gross domestic product per capita
2 ways that you can work to combat poverty
Examples: organize a food drive or sponsor a child in a third world country
What is a design brief?
The formal starting point for a new design. It is a statement of the expectations of the design
A design brief does 3 important things, what are they?
Guarantees that you as a designer know specifically what you want your design to accomplish;
Provides a focal point for the designer to concentrate on when creating a new design for a product;
Saves time by displaying the desired outcome allowing the designer to see how far they are from reaching their intended objective
two examples of food guidelines created before a food is created
Size, Fat Content, Composition, Price Range
two things that advancements in the food industry have led to
Prolonged Shelf Life, Customer Convenience
What has caused the food industry to evolve?
Urbanization
What is the objective of primary processing?
To prolong shelf life.
What is the objective of secondary processing?
To change primary products into edible products.
Identify what the largest industry in the world is
Food industry
Organic foods are foods that have been grown without the help of what two things?
Chemicals; Pesticides
Describe one advantage of FlavrSavr tomatoes over traditionally grown tomatoes.
They are able to ripen on the vine longer than traditionally grown tomatoes, thus producing a stronger flavor. This is because traditionally grown tomatoes have to be harvested while still green to maintain enough firmness to withstand packaging and shipping procedures. They are then sprayed with ethylene which causes them to finish ripening off the vine, causing them to lack a true vine-ripened flavor.
State the technique used to biochemically identify FlavrSavr tomatoes from other tomatoes.
Kanamycin resistance technique.
two factors that lead to the downfall of the FlavrSavr tomato
Any of the following:
• studies produced inconsistent results that may or may not have indicated a small chance of a super virus being created, which inspired public fear
• public distrust of any GM food
• falling land prices and drought in the area FlavrSavr tomatoes were grown

Describe the purpose of food labels and the information provided on them.
Food labels are placed on food packaging to keep the consumer informed as to the contents of their food products. The information includes the nutritional value of the product as well as its relation to the required daily values. The food labels are important in keeping consumers health conscience and safe. Also, the labels may contain special warnings for allergy prone consumers, like a “May Contain Nuts” warning. This is important for those consumers with very serious, sometimes fatal, allergies.
