 What is the difference between chilling and freezing? Chilling: Chilling is a processing technique in which the temperature of a food is reduced and kept in temperature between -1 to 8 ℃. Freezing: A slow temperature drop occurs as ice crystals form within the food, freezing delays spoilage and keeps foods safe by preventing microorganisms from enzyme activity (-18℃). Chilling: Chilling simply means reducing the temperature at above freezing & below 15℃. Freezing: Freezing simply means cooling below it's freezing point. Chilling: It is used to reduce the rate of biochemical & microbiological changes hence to extend shelf life ( reduce growth but alive ). Freezing: Freezing causes death of 10% to 60% of the microbe population. Chilling: It causes minimal changes to sensory characteristics & nutritional properties of food. Freezing: It loss texture during freezing ice-crystals forms which cause adjacent cell walls to rupture, negligible chances to pigments flavor, & ...

Fermentation VS Rotting. What's the difference ? Fermentation : Food fermentation is defined as it is a conversion of sugar and other carbohydrates into alcohol or organic acid & carbon dioxide.  OR Fermentation refers to the metabolic process by which normal glucose or organic molecules converted into the alcohol, acid or gases in absence of oxygen. OR Fermentation is a controlled biological reaction by yeast which digests sugar & starch and outputs alcohol, carbon dioxide and vinegar. Rotting: Rotting is defined as it is uncontrolled process of decay caused by bacteria or fungal action.   Fermentation : Increase the shelf life of food. Fermentation is a biological reaction caused by yeast. Fermentation is a controlled process with beneficial organisms. Fermentation foods are a type of preservation of food that prevents spoilage from happening. Rotting : Rotting in fact kills the food. Rot is decay caused by bacterial action and not yeast. Rotting is all spoilage bact...

It is a group of food products that are pre-cooked, mostly packed & ready for consumption without prior cooking. RTE (Ready-To-Eat) foods rely on acidic conditions to inhibit the growth of pathogens. Ex: Hot dog, Luncheon meats, Dry sausage, Fermented sausage, Desserts, Salad etc. L. manocytogenes, Salmonella, E. coli, C. botulinum etc. Bacteria can survive & grow under the acidic conditions. The low acidic food range is pH>4.5 (UK) pH>4.6 (USA). Low acid food can allow growth of C. botulinum. In canned food "Botulinum Cook" process is given for low acid foods that means heat treatment given at 121 ℃ for 3 minutes to control C. botulinum.  Ex: Idli, Dosa, Pav bhaji, Meat p...
