Question

b) What will be happen to food if it is not refrigerated?
c) What is the role of refrigeration in food preservation method?

Answer 1

1. If the food is not refrigerated, the food may spoil easily.

2. Refrigeration helps in preserving fruits and vegies by storing at low temperatures to slow down decay and natural metabollic processes. Meat, fish product and precooked foods also have limited life because of enzyme activities, baterial attack and ageing.

Answer 2

What would happen to food if it wasn't kept cold?

• Food that is not kept chilled might rapidly go bad.
• Fruits and vegetables are preserved by refrigeration by being kept at low temperatures to delay deterioration and normal metabolic processes.
• The shelf life of meat, fish, and prepared foods is also shortened by enzyme activity, bacterial attack, and aging.

What part does refrigeration play in the process of food preservation?

• The main goal of refrigeration is to reduce the activity of germs, which are present in all food and must be controlled in order to prevent food spoilage.
• For instance, if milk is left out on the kitchen counter at ambient temperature, germs will contaminate the milk in two to three hours.

When food is refrigerated, the goal is to restrict bacterial growth to a crawl so that food spoilage takes significantly longer (perhaps a week or two as opposed to half a day). The goal of freezing is to completely halt bacterial activity. Inactive totally, frozen microorganisms.
