Study Notes
Exam and Assignment Policies
- Late submission for Exams 1 & 2 results in a penalty of 11.5 points each, with 69 points possible per exam.
- No late submission accepted for Exam 3.
- Assignments (Parts 1-4) incur a penalty of half points for late submissions, totaling 16 points.
- Pre- and Post-Course Evaluations (2 evaluations) are worth 2 points; no late submissions allowed.
- Total course score out of 100 points.
Food Science Overview
- Focuses on understanding various types of food and consumer food choices.
- A significant concern is food safety; 90% of people misinterpret food expiration dates.
- Consumers often discard food that is still safe or can be consumed after freezing.
Food Deterioration
- All foods have a limited shelf life based on several factors like food type and storage conditions.
- Shelf life defines how long a food item remains acceptable for consumption.
- Many dates displayed on food packaging reflect freshness rather than safety; products past "best, if used by" dates may still be edible.
Food Waste Statistics
- Average American discards nearly a pound of food daily, leading to excessive waste.
- Common reasons for food waste include picky eaters, overstocked pantries, and forgotten leftovers.
- Food waste contributes significantly to landfill volumes, producing methane, a potent greenhouse gas.
Frozen Foods
- Freezing effectively halts food aging and prolongs food usability.
- Bacteria and pathogens cannot grow at frozen temperatures, preserving food quality.
- Items like milk, bread, cheese, and raw eggs can be frozen; eggs should be cracked and beaten prior.
Open vs. Closed Dating
- Open dating is common on perishable items (e.g., meat, dairy) and includes phrases like "sell by" or "use by."
- Closed dating involves production codes on shelf-stable products; these codes do not reflect consumer-use dates.
Canned Food Guidelines
- Most canned goods can be stored for two to five years, while high-acid foods last for up to 18 months.
- Signs that indicate potential spoilage include dents and bulges in cans; such products should be discarded.
- Nonperishable items like grains and dried goods can remain safe to eat beyond their labeled dates.
Practical Considerations
- Nonperishable foods are often usable after their expiration dates, while meat and dairy have shorter shelf lives without federal regulation on expiration dates.
