Avoiding food poisoning According to Channel Sevens Today Tonight Program, five million Australians are the victims of food poisoning
Avoiding food poisoning According to Channel Sevens Today Tonight Program, five million Australians are the victims of food poisoning every single year. And what's worse is that these foods where among the most commonly eaten foods like sushi, kebabs, chicken and mince meat, which where all found to be high risk foods if not prepared properly, cooked properly or refrigerated. As a result, lethal bacteria like salmonella, e.coli or listeria can make you seriously ill, put you in hospital, or even cause death. And it is more likely to occur in the summer months, where food is left outside and not kept refrigerated at the right temperatures. Des Sibraa, a former chief food inspector for the New South Wales Department of Health says food poisoning is the nation's "silent epidemic", and that food suppliers and food outlets were not always to blame. Most food poisoning outbreaks are done by somebody doing something incredibly stupid," he said. "You can leave something out on the kitchen table for hours and hours at room temperature, and cause the outbreak yourself," Des said. Over the last 12 months, Today Tonight conducted a series of investigations into various foods alerting us to what happens if you or your regular food outlets fail to observe accepted safety standards. With summer upon us and temperatures rising, scientist professor James Paton and Des Sibraa give us
The overall finish of my Family Fruit cake was excellent. It was golden and crispy brown at the top in relation to appearance. It gave off a wonderful aroma of freshly baked sponge cake when it was being baked.
The overall finish of my Family Fruit cake was excellent. It was golden and crispy brown at the top in relation to appearance. It gave off a wonderful aroma of freshly baked sponge cake when it was being baked. It looked mouth watering once it had cooled down. The flavour of the cake was fruity and the texture was spongy and moist. It looked colourful also because of the different colours of the dried fruit I had added. I was amazed with the overall finish of the cake because it was neat and it was brilliant in taste, texture and appearance. I couldn't find any bad points for the overall finish of my cake. I had sprinkled the top of the cake with some dimera sugar (brown sugar) which gave it a crispy top. The sponge was light yellow or pale in colour. The sponge was well risen because the size of the cake was fairly thick. The appearance was golden brown with a crispy touch which made my cake more appealing. It was light, crumbly and soft in texture and the flavour of my sponge was sweet and it wasn't eggy. Those were all the good points of the cake but the bad point was that when I spooned the mixture into the baking tray, it had some dry flour in the middle which wasn't mixed in with the rest because of the mixture being too thick with all the fruits. The sponge didn't stick to the tray once it was ready; this was a good thing because it came out easily because I had
To find out whether the foods contain starch, fats, proteins and glucose or not.
Title: Food test Aim: To find out whether the foods contain starch, fats, proteins and glucose or not. Introduction: We have to eat food everyday. Why do we have to eat so much types of food, to keep healthy? Because the foods contain a lot of nutrients, nutrients are substances which organisms need for releasing energy, for growth and repair, and to sustain and all life processes. And they are good for our health. For example: proteins can help us to grow. So we want to find out what types of nutrients are in the food that we eat; starch, fats, proteins or glucose? So we use the method down here to find out: Iodine test: it's the method that we use to find out if the food contain starch or not. We can see the change when we add iodine solution to the substance. If the color of the iodine solution changes from brown to dark blue or black, then that means the food contains starch. If the color of the iodine solution did not change, then that means that the food does not contain starch. Benedict's test: it is the method we use to find out if the foods contain sugar or not. If the food contains sugar, then the color of the solution will change from blue to orange. They changed from blue to green, green to yellow and then yellow to orange. If there is a lot of sugar in the substance, then maybe the color will change from orange to red, too. Biuret test: it's the method

Although cow's milk is the most popular in many countries, milk can be obtained from many different sources.
Although cow's milk is the most popular in many countries, milk can be obtained from many different sources. For example, milk from goats and sheep makes a substantial contribution to the total milk production in countries of Eastern and Southern Europe, Malawi, and Barbados, whereas the water buffalo is a common source of milk in much of Asia. The table below illustrates some of the differences in composition between these milks. Woman milking a goat Milk is a perishable commodity and spoils very easily. Its low acidity and high nutrient content make it the perfect breeding ground for bacteria, including those which cause food poisoning (pathogens). Bacteria from the animal, utensils, hands, and insects may contaminate the milk, and their destruction is the main reason for processing. This preservation of the milk can be achieved by fermentation, heating, cooling, removal of water, and by concentration or separation of components, to produce foods such as butter or cheese. The degree to which milk consumption and processing occurs will differ from region to region. It is dependent upon a whole host of factors, including geographic and climatic conditions, availability and cost of milk, food taboos, and religious restrictions. Where processing does exist, many traditional techniques can be found for producing indigenous milk products. These are more stable than raw
Copy and evaluate a commercial baby food with a homemade equivalent
Child Development Resource work on Baby food Centre num 12841 Candidate num:__________ Baby food test I chose to copy and evaluate a commercial baby food with a homemade equivalent. I am going to make a jar of baby food then comparing it with a commercial equivalent. I will try to make sure both have roughly the same ingredients. I will then make my bolognas and blend to the correct consistency so it is easy for the baby to eat. I will let people test it and give there opinion on the: . Texture 2. Colour 3. Convenience 4. Best flavour 5. Most appetising 6. Value for money I will then place the results I get on to a table then transfer it to a graph. Once I have done this I will weigh up the pros and cons of each one and give which one seems to be most like out off the two. I will do the coursework in steps they are: * Look at commercial baby foods and find one to compare with * List the ingredients and write a method to making it * Cost food * Make food and test with ten people * Write the results * Draw up a table * Draw graph * Evaluate my work I chose to copy the spaghetti bolognas made by Heinz with a price of 45p for a jar of 150 mls. I made my homemade equivalent using: * 250 grams of minced beef * 1 tin of peeled tomatoes * 50 grams of mushroom (5-6 mushrooms approximately) * Half an Oxo cube * 50 millilitres of water * Half a medium
How important is a balanced diet in maintaining good health?
How important is a balanced diet in maintaining good health? A healthy and well balanced diet is the body's main energy source. In adults, it encourages regeneration and self-healing within the body. In children, it constitutes the building blocks for future health as well as producing energy. A well balanced diet will provide the body with all the essential nutrients it needs. This will be achieved by eating a variety of foods from each food group. A pyramid of food groups is shown in appendix A. There are many different nutrients in each food group; about 50 are known to be essential to human life. Carbohydrates, proteins, minerals, fats and vitamins are the five types of food nutrients. Water can also be classed as a nutrient as it is essential to life. The following assignment aims to describe the functions of the major food nutrients above. The recommended daily allowance (RDA) of nutrients needed for healthy living depends on age, sex, and degree of activity. Larger amounts of certain nutrients are needed throughout life. These are called macronutrients. Fats are one of the three macronutrients and can be divided into two categories, saturated and unsaturated. Fats are an important part of the diet as they provide a source of energy. It is stored under the skin where it acts as an insulator and also stores certain vitamins. The building blocks of fat are fatty acids
