    Study Notes

    Food Classification

    • Food is classified as either raw materials, processed, or formulated materials
    • Raw materials are consumed orally by humans
    • Processed or formulated materials are consumed orally by animals
    • Fruits and vegetables, and canned meat are examples of food

    Food Preservation

    • The major food preservation technique is to slow down or inhibit microbial growth and chemical deterioration

    Food Inspection

    • Egg inspection assesses compliance with prevention of Salmonella Enteritidis and Listeria monocytogenes

    Egg Quality Standards

    • The standards for quality of individual shell eggs are based on the shell condition and air cell depth
    • AA quality eggs have a clean, unbroken, and practically normal shell with an air cell not exceeding one-eighth inch (3.2 mm) in depth
    • A quality eggs have a clean, unbroken, and practically normal shell with an air cell not exceeding three-sixteenths inch (4.8 mm) in depth
