Questions and Answers

What factors are used for grading fruits and vegetables?

Size, shape, and density

Why is knowledge of bulk density important for food materials?

To estimate floor space during storage and transportation, mixing, storing, and packaging particulate matter

What is the importance of knowing the bulk density of food materials?

  • To estimate the weight of the food materials
  • To estimate the number of particles in the food materials
  • To estimate the color evaluation of the food materials
  • To estimate the floor space required during storage and transportation (correct)

Why is surface area important for investigations related to fruits and vegetables?

<p>Surface area is important for investigations related to spray coverage, removal of residue, respiration rate, light reflectance, color evaluation, and heat transfer studies in heating and cooling processes. It is desirable to maximize the surface area in many physical and chemical processes as the rate of reaction is proportional to it.</p> Signup and view all the answers
