Pasteurization

In his towering essay “Ideas of Nature,” Raymond Williams examined the dynamic relationship which humans hold with nature – a relationship which involves histories of intervention, separation, and domination – to investigate “whether nature include[s] man.” The dominant narratives which emerged from this debate suggest that nature* is wholly separate from human; contemporary discourse argues that nature is intrinsically where industry (and in extension human activity) is not. But what happens…

2. Briefly discuss the political culture and technological advances that ultimately worked to pave the way for the “new imperialism” during this period. The technological improvements in communications and transportation and advances in education helped the Age of New Imperialism. Having new devices such as the telegraph and the telephone, people had new chances to communicate with others that lived far way from them, even though “the telegrams often brought bad news to offices and residences”…

He developed a process call pasteurization where he studied the problem of spoilage of beverage. He discovered that bacteria or microorganism from outside was causing the spoilage of beverage. He concluded that all diseases are caused by preexisting microorganism. Not only he discovered…

The next item on my menu is corn on the cob. Corn is one of the globes most widely used food staples and is grown all around the world (Corn Refiners Association, 2015). In my situation, the corn was purchased from a local farmer the lives about 15 miles from where I live. At this particular farm, there are no pesticides used for any of the crops on his farm. We drive up there every year just to get corn. This farmer does not use any genetically modified crops and only uses a little bit of…

The results obtained from the experiment and as illustrated above clearly show that an increase in the volume of O2 produced is accompanied by an increase of catalase concentration; though the lower concentrations suffer from slight inconsistencies. This leads to the conclusion that the more enzymes available, the larger and faster the reaction. The data obtained is in agreement with the hypothesis. The hypothesis stated that the rate of reaction and amount of product produced will augment with…

Food is an essential requirement for the wellbeing of all living creatures. As our lives are progressing our eating habits are changing too. With a rapid growth of economic and financial responsibilities, individuals are inclined towards investing their time in productive genre rather than engaging themselves in lengthier process of traditional cooking. Therefore, instant foods and ready-to-eat foods are becoming more and more acceptable by people. Instant foods and ready-to-eat foods are one of…

Ben and Jerry’s ice cream started as two guys serving ice cream in a converted gas station, but today the ice cream company distributes its ice cream products internationally through grocery stores, franchisees, and grocery delivery services. The ice cream maker has two production facilities, both in Vermont. The Ben and Jerry’s headquarters is in Waterbury, VT. This is where tourists and ice cream fans can take tours of how the ice cream is made. The second facility is much larger and located…

Listeria monocytogenes is a gram-positive rod-shaped bacterium and facultative anaerobic that can grow under either anaerobic or aerobic conditions but do not form endospores. Among the six species of Listeria, only Listeria monocytogenes is the major human pathogen that causes disease in humans. It is a causative agent to cause listeriosis, a serious infection caused by ingesting the food contaminated with Listeria. The optimum temperature for growth is 30 to 37 degree Celsius, within this…

processed foods. Yet all processed foods are depicted as sickening and unhealthy by many people. Certain foods, such as milk that has been treated, are considered to be a processed food. Sure, you can drink raw milk fresh from the cow, but without pasteurization you are more exposed to illnesses. It has been scientifically proven that if you were to package and freeze vegetables, that they will keep most of their vitamins and minerals. However, because they are packaged, they are deemed as…

applied to everyone; it should not just be a tree-hugging prerequisite. In fact, the majority of vegans choose this lifestyle specifically to aid the earth. PETA reported that 86% of land in the Amazonian region is cleared solely for the purpose of pasteurization used for animal feed. Now isn’t that a happy story. Another fun fact, it takes 16 pounds of grain to produce 1 pound of meat. So that small bag of steak you bought for today’s cookout is your entire backyard at the earth’s expense.…
