What is pasteurization?
This process kills bacteria
using heat.
What is baking soda or baking powder?
A white food additive that produces
carbon dioxide in cakes, cookies,
and biscuits.
What is polyethylene terephthalate (PET)?
This plastic, commonly used for
packaging food, has a recycle
code of one.
What is leavening?
This is the agent that caused
baked goods to rise.
What is pickling?
This process preserves food in
brine or an acid such as vinegar.
What is fermentation?
In the absence of oxygen sugar is
converted into alcohol and
carbon dioxide.
What are polymers?
Chains made of many
subunits of specifically bonded
atoms in repetitive patterns such
as A-A-A-A or A-B-A-B.
What are pathogens?
Viruses, bacteria or fungi that cause
harm to humans
What is fortification?
The process of adding nutrients
beyond what occurs naturally
in a food.
What is oxidation?
This type of chemical reaction
transforms fats and oils to acids
(e.g. butter becomes rancid).
What is biodegradable plastic?
This kind of plastic breaks
down quickly and completely
in the environment.
What is BPA, bisphenol-A?
This plastic behaves like the hormone
estrogen once it enters the body and disturbs
the normal working of certain genes.
Estrogen mimicking chemicals like this
are potentially harmful even at very low doses,
such as those found in plastic bottles and cans.
What is minimally processed food?
Food that is peeled, crushed,
diced, or sliced.
What is the Maillard reaction?
This reaction is responsible
for the browning of meat,
onions, and other food.
It requires heat.
What is photodegradable plastic?
This kind of plastic breaks
down when exposed to light.
What is petroleum?
This raw material is needed to
make most types of plastic.
What is a highly processed food?
This level of processing of foods
often results in foods that are
high in salt or sugar, low in fiber,
and high in fat.
What is an anaerobic reaction?
A reaction that occurs without
oxygen.
What are phthalates?
These are added to plastic
to make it softer.
What is acetone?
This solvent, also used in fingernail
polish remover, dissolves styrofoam.
