You are working in a factory that is producing chemicals from the bacterium Corynebacterium glutamicum. You monitor the fermenters and you notice that one fermenter has stopped producing the chemical you are interested in (the chemical is the nature-identical ketone that gives ripe raspberry flavor). You suspect that the fermenter has become contaminated. Describe how you determine if the fermenter is contaminated.
Explain how bacteria cause food to spoil.
If high temperatures are most effective at killing microbes, what statement correctly explains why some food products are treated with temperatures below the boiling point of water? Extremely high temperatures would destroy the food's nutritional value. Extremely high temperatures would significantly lower the food's shelf life. Extremely high temperatures can destroy the food's desirable characteristics. Extremely high temperatures promote the growth of some microbes.
Explain how osmotic pressure and pH are used in preserving foods. What effects do they have on microbes?
Desiccation, a time-honored method of preserving food, is effective because the water content is too low to support metabolic function. freezing step of the process kills microbes. salt concentration is too low to support metabolic function. heat of the process kills microbes. UV light used in the process of sun drying penetrates effectively.
Which of the following is a fermentation of cheese? A. Lactic acid B. Ethanol C. Pyruvic acid D. Acetic acid
The large tanks used in industrial production of antibiotics are termeda. digesters b. fermentors c. spargers d. biotransformers
Explain the reasons why cream cheese is a high risk food for the elderly and pregnant women. The cheese would be easily spoiled if you found the condensed water on the inner side of the cover lid of the container, and also if you put it at room temperature for more than two hours. Explain in term of the factors of microbes growth. Explain it detailed.
The process of freezing food: a. makes oxygen unavailable to pathogenic bacteria b. makes liquid water unavailable to pathogenic bacteria c. slows bacterial metabolism to a very low rate d. emulsifies pathogenic bacteria e. causes pathogenic bacteria to form ketone bodies to endure the “hibernation conditions”
All of the following are routinely used to preserve foods excepta) high concentrations of sugar.b) high concentrations of salt.c) benzoic acid.d) freezing.e) ethylene oxide.
The first organic compound made during nitrogen assimilation is: Select one: a. a protein b. an amino acid c. nitrite d. ammonia e. the amino acid glutathione
Which of the following BEST describes an agent that is bacteriostatic? A) It suspends bacterial synthesis of Tranexamic Acid. B) It kills the bacteria by destroying its cell wall. C) It zaps the bacteria with static electricity. D) It suspends bacterial growth.
