Nicolas Appert
developing the process of heating food in sealed containers
hotfill
the product is brought to a boil then canned
biological spoilage
evident by the acid and gas produced by bacterial growth; and the amount of pressure is sufficient to swell and even burst cans
Physical spoilage
obtained by change in temp after canning, or change in altitude when delivering
head space
space between the food and the top of the can
chemical spoilage
These swellings occur when defects in the tin plating or lacquered coating on the can allow acid to come in contact with the iron of the can. This chemical process results in the production of hydrogen gas
Extrusion
Originally developed for the plastics industry, extrusion is most often used in the food industry to produce breakfast cereals, pasta products, snacks, and pet foods
Microwaves
electromagnetic waves of radiant energy
irradiation
a process in which food is exposed to ionizing radiation. The purpose of the process is to destroy microorganisms that cause illness and spoilage

Myofibrillar proteins
which are the most plentiful and responsible for muscle contraction
Sarcoplasmic proteins
are responsible for the metabolism within muscle
Stromal proteins
which are not really part of muscle fibers but are the connective tissue harness that binds muscles to one another and to the skeleton
albumin
a protein found in the bloodstream
hormones, neurotransmitters, antibodies and enzymes
important regulatory substances in the body. They help the body respond to stimuli, transmit messages, protect itself and trigger processes
