Question

Extrinsic factors that affect the storage of a particular food product do not include

a) Temperature and RH

 

b) Light

 

c) Total and partial pressures of different gases

 
d) none of the above
​

Answer 1

Answer:

Relative humidity (RH) is the ratio of the partial pressure of water vapor to the equilibrium vapor pressure of water at a given temperature. Relative humidity depends on temperature and the pressure of the system of interest. The same amount of water vapor results in higher relative humidity in cool air than warm air. A related parameter is the dew point.
