FOOD TECHNOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Drying is a process used for food preservation. Different drying methods and dryers are used by the food industry to remove water from foods. Removal of water reduces aw, which has a negative effect on the growth and survival of different microorganisms in foods, retarding the deterioration of foods.

Detailed explanation-2: -Freezing prevents the growth of most foodborne microorganisms and refrigeration temperatures slow down the growth of microorganisms. Refrigeration below 5 °C effectively retards the growth of many foodborne pathogens. The cooling rate is important in controlling the growth of microorganisms.

Detailed explanation-3: -Drying or “dehydrating” food is a method of food preservation that removes enough moisture from the food so bacteria, yeast and molds cannot grow.

Detailed explanation-4: -Fresh fish rapidly deteriorates unless some way can be found to preserve it. Drying is a method of food preservation that works by removing water from the food, which inhibits the growth of microorganisms.
