Canning is also sometime called as..
- A.
Cold Sterilization
- B.
Sterilization
- C.
Appertization
- D.
Pasteurization
Correct Answer
C. AppertizationExplanation
Appertization is the correct answer because it refers to the process of preserving food by sealing it in airtight containers and heating it to a high temperature. This method was developed by Nicolas Appert in the early 19th century and is considered an early form of canning. The term "appertization" is often used interchangeably with canning, making it a suitable alternative name for the process.Rate this question:

Degree brix measures..
- A.
Total salt content
- B.
Total soluble solid content
- C.
Total fiber content
- D.
Total fat content
Correct Answer
B. Total soluble solid contentExplanation
Degree brix is a unit of measurement used to determine the total soluble solid content in a liquid. It measures the concentration of all the dissolved solids, such as sugars, in the liquid. The higher the degree brix, the higher the concentration of soluble solids in the liquid. This measurement is commonly used in the food and beverage industry to determine the sweetness or concentration of a liquid, such as fruit juices or syrups.Rate this question:

Blanching is done to destroy..
- A.
Microbes
- B.
Enzymes
- C.
Pathogens
- D.

Correct Answer
B. EnzymesExplanation
Blanching is a cooking process that involves briefly immersing food in boiling water or steam and then cooling it quickly. One of the main purposes of blanching is to destroy enzymes present in the food. Enzymes are natural substances that can cause undesirable changes in the texture, color, and flavor of food over time. By destroying these enzymes through blanching, the food can be preserved and maintain its quality for a longer period.Rate this question:

Which of the following statement is/are NOT CORRECT..
- A.
The swab method is best suited for flexible, uneven and heavily contaminated surfaces
- B.
Impingers are not suitable in air sampling because in this method specific quantity of air is difficult to be sampled
- C.
In case of gravimetric and volumetric sampling method, microbial concentration can be reported as "per volume of diluent".
- D.
All the above
Correct Answer
B. Impingers are not suitable in air sampling because in this method specific quantity of air is difficult to be sampledExplanation
The statement "Impingers are not suitable in air sampling because in this method specific quantity of air is difficult to be sampled" is correct because impingers are not designed to accurately measure a specific quantity of air. Impingers are more commonly used for collecting liquid samples, such as for measuring particulate matter in a liquid medium. In air sampling, other methods like filter-based sampling or sorbent tube sampling are preferred for accurately measuring a specific quantity of air.Rate this question:

HACCP stand for..
- A.
Hazard and critical cooking point
- B.
Hazard and critical control point
- C.
Health analysis and critical control point
- D.
Hazard analysis and critical control point
Correct Answer
D. Hazard analysis and critical control pointExplanation
HACCP stands for Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Point. This system is used in the food industry to identify and control potential hazards that could pose a risk to food safety. It involves identifying and assessing potential hazards, establishing critical control points to prevent or eliminate those hazards, and implementing monitoring procedures to ensure that the control measures are effective. The goal is to prevent, reduce, or eliminate hazards throughout the food production process, from raw material acquisition to consumption, to ensure the safety of the final product.Rate this question:

The compound that enters the TCA cycle from glycolysis is..
- A.
Citric acid
- B.
Acetyl coenzyme
- C.
Pyruvic
- D.
Oxaloacetic acid
Correct Answer
B. Acetyl coenzymeExplanation
Acetyl coenzyme is the correct answer because it is the compound that enters the TCA (tricarboxylic acid) cycle from glycolysis. Acetyl coenzyme is formed when pyruvic acid, which is the end product of glycolysis, is converted into acetyl coenzyme A (CoA) through a series of reactions. Acetyl CoA then enters the TCA cycle, where it undergoes a series of reactions to produce energy in the form of ATP. Therefore, acetyl coenzyme is the compound that connects glycolysis to the TCA cycle.Rate this question:

The pattern on the paper in chromatography is called..
- A.
Chromatogram
- B.
Chromatograph
- C.
Chroma
- D.
Chroming
Correct Answer
A. ChromatogramExplanation
The pattern on the paper in chromatography is called a chromatogram. This is because chromatography is a technique used to separate and analyze mixtures, and the pattern that forms on the paper is a visual representation of the components of the mixture being separated. The chromatogram allows scientists to identify and quantify the different substances present in the mixture based on their positions and characteristics on the paper.Rate this question:

Manometer is used in..
- A.
Static condition of fluid
- B.
Dynamic condition of fluid
- C.
Both static and dynamic condition of fluid
- D.
None of the above
Correct Answer
B. Dynamic condition of fluidExplanation
A manometer is a device used to measure the pressure of a fluid. It is commonly used in dynamic conditions of fluid, where the pressure is changing or fluctuating. In such situations, a manometer can provide real-time pressure readings and help monitor the flow of fluid. In static conditions, where the fluid is not moving, a manometer may not be necessary as the pressure remains constant. Therefore, the correct answer is dynamic condition of fluid.Rate this question:

In distillation ________takes place in both the direction..
- A.
Mass transfer
- B.
Heat transfer
- C.
Evaporation
- D.
None of the above
Correct Answer
A. Mass transferExplanation
In distillation, mass transfer takes place in both directions. This means that during the process, there is a transfer of mass (components) between the liquid and vapor phases. This is essential for separating different components in a mixture based on their boiling points. The higher boiling point components tend to condense and move back into the liquid phase, while the lower boiling point components vaporize and move into the vapor phase. Therefore, mass transfer is crucial for the success of distillation as it enables the separation of different components in the mixture.Rate this question:

In water tube boiler ..
- A.
Water flows through the tube and hot air around it.
- B.
Water is inside the tube and steam is outside the tube
- C.
Water surrounds tube carrying hot air
- D.
Steam flows through the tube and hot air around the tube
Correct Answer
A. Water flows through the tube and hot air around it.Explanation
In a water tube boiler, water flows through the tube and hot air surrounds it. This design allows for efficient heat transfer from the hot air to the water, resulting in the generation of steam. The water inside the tube absorbs the heat from the hot air, causing it to boil and convert into steam. The steam is then collected and used for various applications.Rate this question:

Most of the centrifugal pumps used in food industries uses
- A.
One van impeller
- B.
Two van impeller
- C.
Three van impeller
- D.
Six van impeller
Correct Answer
B. Two van impellerExplanation
Centrifugal pumps used in food industries typically utilize a two-vane impeller. This impeller design is commonly chosen for its ability to handle viscous fluids and solids without clogging. The two vanes create a balanced flow, ensuring efficient pumping while minimizing turbulence and shear forces that could potentially damage or alter the food product. Additionally, the two-vane impeller design allows for easy cleaning and maintenance, making it a practical choice for the food industry.Rate this question:

How many kilograms of solution containing 10% sugar can be obtained by diluting 15 kg of 20% solution with water..
- A.
20 Kg
- B.
30 Kg
- C.
40 Kg
- D.
60 Kg
Correct Answer
A. 20 KgExplanation
To find the answer, we need to calculate the amount of sugar in the 15 kg of 20% solution. The solution contains 20% sugar, so the amount of sugar in the solution is 15 kg * 20% = 3 kg.
To obtain a solution with a concentration of 10% sugar, we need to dilute the 3 kg of sugar in water. Since the concentration of sugar is decreasing by half (20% to 10%), we need to double the amount of solution.
Therefore, we need 2 * 15 kg = 30 kg of solution to obtain a 10% sugar solution. However, since we are asked for the amount of solution containing 10% sugar that can be obtained by diluting the 15 kg of 20% solution, the maximum amount of solution we can obtain is 15 kg.
Hence, the correct answer is 20 kg.Rate this question:
