FOOD SAMPLE [13 records]

Record 1 2024-11-20

English

Subject field(s)
  • Atmospheric Physics
  • Food Preservation and Canning
  • Collaboration with the FAO
OBS

When a food sample comes into equilibrium with the atmosphere surrounding it, the water activity in the food sample becomes equal to the relative humidity of the atmosphere surrounding it. Once this equilibrium is reached, the food sample neither gains nor loses moisture over time.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Physique de l'atmosphère
  • Conservation des aliments et conserverie
  • Collaboration avec la FAO
CONT

Puisque le degré d'humidité d'équilibre des semences est fonction de leur teneur en huile, la meilleure mesure correspondant à la norme relative au séchage est l'humidité relative à l'équilibre (HRE). Cette constante est déterminée par l'humidité relative et la température de l'environnement de séchage.

Spanish

Campo(s) temático(s)
  • Física de la atmósfera
  • Conservación de los alimentos y elaboración de conservas
  • Colaboración con la FAO
CONT

Este parámetro [la actividad acuosa] es equivalente a la humedad relativa en equilibrio que es la humedad a la cual se igualan la presión de vapor de humedad del alimento (relación entre el agua y los sólidos) y la presión parcial de humedad del aire ambiente, es decir, que un alimento no ganaría ni perdería humedad.

CONT

Wildlife harvesting.... Wildlife is harvested for many different purposes. Sport hunting usually takes a sample of the population during a restricted season and often with a restriction placed on the sex and age of the harvest. Harvesting for sport is a complex activity whose product is as much a quality experience as it is meat or trophies. On the other hand the purpose of commercial hunting for food is simply to harvest a product such as meat and skins.

Subject field(s)
  • Food Industries
CONT

A standard on-line food industry technique to monitor a range of food constituents. NIR [near infrared] instruments have been used for more than 20 years to determine protein content of grains. Current on-line applications in the food processing area include the quantitative determination of moisture, fat, oil, sugars, and protein in products such as coffee, orange juice, milk powder, breakfast cereals, soft drinks, snack foods, process cheese, and flour... The instruments have an infrared light source which is collimated and filtered into specific wavelengths... it measures the absorbance of the analyte rather than the analyte itself. Thus all NIR an analysers have to be calibrated for each sample type using a primary test method...
