 to make it more easily digestible, palatable
and safe for human consumption.

Theoriginof
cooking
 The art of cooking is ancient.
 The first cooking was a primitive man, who had
put a chunk of meat close to the fire, which he
had eat to warm himself.

has evolved to reach the present level of
sophistication.

 Food preparation is a modern term in professional
cookery.
 It denotes preparation and cooking.

processing and the ultimate presentation of the dishes
to the customer, where “food service” takes over.

cooking- preparing dishes, and the place the kitchen
in which they are prepared.

⮚An Introduction of Food safety
⮚Types of Contamination
⮚Causes of contamination
⮚Prevention

IntroductionofFoodsafety
Food safety refers to the conditions and practices
that preserve the quality of food to prevent
contamination and foodborne illnesses.
Poor food handling and inadequate food safety can
cause infection (foodborne illness).
 Usually include stomach problems.
 Especially in young children, older adults, pregnant
women.
 People with weakened immune systems.

PhysicalContamination
Physical:
Hair,
glass,
plastic,
scabs,
rodent,
droppings,
files,
bones from meat/fish.

ChemicalContamination
Chemical:
Pesticides sprayed on fruits or vegetables,
freezer refrigerants,
drugs,
food additives,
chemicals from cleaning products and metal or non
food cookware and storage.

BiologicalContamination
Biological:
Bacteria
Viruses
Fungi
Parasites.

CausesofContamination
Cross contamination
Poor personal hygiene
Improper clean and sanitation
Time and temperature abuse

CrossContamination
High risk of cross -
contamination during
preparation because food is in
contact with hands, surfaces,
equipment & raw food could
contaminate cooked food.

TimeandTemperatureAbuse
Time Temperature Abuse is What happens
when Potentially Hazardous Food are left
in the Temperature Danger Zone for too
long.
The temperature Danger Zone is the
temperature range in which harmful
microbiological organisms grow/ reproduce
most rapidly.
A Potentially Hazardous Food is any food
that will support the growth of harmful
microbiological organisms. Food items high
in protein such as meats, soy products, and
dairy items are usually considered
potentially hazardous foods and need
special handling care.

Prevention
Prevent cross contamination
Maintain personal hygiene
Proper receiving of stores
Proper storing of raw
materials
Proper storage of cooked food
Maintain high standards of
cleaning and sanitation
standards
Pest control

Preventing:CrossContamination
Separate Equipment

Without personal hygiene there is
no food safety
Prevention must focus on personnel
– personal cleanliness
– illness
– behaviour
Food handlers can contaminate food

A healthy human is covered with microorganisms
on hair (incl.
beards and
mustaches)
in the nose
in the mouth
on the skin
under the nails

time
illness ends
Ill people shed pathogenic
microorganisms
pathogens continue to be
shed!
shedding starts

Wounds shed pathogenic
microorganisms
wound healed
time

Only minute amounts of certain pathogens
can cause infections in humans
Infections occur easily when just one
food handler does not observe hand
hygiene rules.

Both direct and indirect routes of
contamination exist
Direct Indirect

The fecal-oral route is the primary route of
infection for food borne microorganisms

Washing hands is the most important food
poisoning prevention
Washing hands the right way only requires three elements:
– running water,
– soap, and
– something to dry hands with.
Step 1 Step 2 Step 3 Step 4

HOW TO WASH
Equipment needed:
Hand sink with hot and cold running water,
soap, and disposable paper towel
Steps:
1. Remove all jewelry from wrists and hands
2. Wet hands and apply soap
3. Build up a good lather and vigorously rub hands together for a MINIMUM
OF 20 SECONDS (the time it takes to sing Happy Birthday twice)
4. Pay particular attention to underneath fingernails,cuticles, in-between
fingers,and wrists
5. Rinse hands free of soap and dry hands with a disposable paper towel
6. Turn sink faucet off with paper towel

Personal Hygiene

8. After handling waste food.
9. After cleaning , or handling dirty cloths, crockery .etc.

WHY WASH YOUR HANDS?
• Hands are particularly important in
transmitting foodborne pathogens
• Dirty hands and/or fingernails may
contaminate the food being prepared
• Employees may serve as a reservoir
for pathogenic microorganisms

A special dress code is required for EVERYONE
who enters a food-handling area
cover hair
cover beards
no
jewelry
clean protective
clothing
clean shoes
EVERYONE:
 food handlers
 visitors
 management
 contractors
 auditors

Aims and
objectives of
cooking
Cooking helps to make the food
more digestible
Complex foods are often split into
simpler substances during cooking.
This helps the body to absorb and
utilize the food more readily than
in the raw form.

Cookingpartly
sterilizesfood
 Above 40°C (140°F) the growth of
bacteria falls off rapidly and in general it
ceases above 45°C (113°F).
 Non-sporing bacteria are killed at
temperatures above 60°C (140°F) for
varying periods of time.

 Cooking increases the palatability of various
dishes.
 Cooking makes the food more attractive in
appearance, and hence more appetizing.
 Cooking introduces variety
 Many different types of dishes can be prepared
using the same ingredient.

Balancedmeal
 Cooking helps to provide a balanced meal
 Different ingredients of different
nutritive values combined together in one
dish makes it easier to provide a
balanced meal (e.g. a combination of
cereals and pulses together gives a
complete balanced meal.)
