• Here are some pointers in the use and storage of food in the
refrigerator:
• 1. The coldest part is underneath the refrigerating compartment. Food
that spoils easily should be placed in the coldest part of the
refrigerator.
• 2. A refrigerator should not be overloaded since this interferes with
the circulation of the air inside.
• 3. Minimize the opening of the door.
• 4. Keep the refrigerator dry and clean.
• 5. It should be defrosted regularly. Not more than half an inch of frost
should be allowed to accumulate in the freezer. Ice should never be
chipped off the freezer.
• 6. Do not put hot food in the refrigerator.
• 7. Keep the refrigerator clean outside and inside. The outside part
should be washed with mild soap and water and dry.
• Defrosting the refrigerator
• 1. Turn off the electric current.
• 2. Remove all ice trays and frozen foods from the freezing
point.
• 3. Wrap frozen foods in newspaper to keep them from
thawing.
• 4. Put the dip tray in the proper place to catch the melted
ice.
• 5. Place pans of hot water in the lower part of the freezing
unit. Allow the ice
• to melt. Never use sharp pointed object to remove the ice.

• Sanitary
• Cure
• Disinfectant
• Contaminate
•The following are some basic
rules of sanitary food handling
practices that must be observed
by food handlers:
•1. Hands should be washed thoroughly with
soap and water. A disinfectant
•solution of chlorinated water should be
available for rinsing the hands before
•handling food. Wearing rings, bracelets, and
wrist watches during processing
•should be avoided as these can be source of
contamination.
•2. Whenever possible, food must not
be handled directly during
preparation
•and packing.
•3. Packing materials must never be
handled directly particularly on the side
that shall be in direct contact with the
food
•4. Food handlers should be properly dressed.
The use of gowns, aprons, head caps, or hair
nets, masks, rubber, boots, and gloves are
ideal. This prevents contamination of food by
foreign matters from the handlers’ body like
hair, dust and germs extracted from the nose
and mouth. However, for small scale industries
clean and light color shirt and caps and
hairnets would be efficient.
•5. Smoking in the preparation, processing, and
packing area should never be allowed. Smoke
can be absorbed in the food or the ashes and
cigarette butts may get into the food. Spitting and
blowing of the nose should never be done within
the premises of the plant. These unhealthy habits
contribute to contamination and spread of
diseases.
• PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT
• 1. FOOD GLOVES - is used to prevent bare hand contact
while preparing food.
• 2. HAIR NET - is used to reduce the chance of stray hairs
while preparing food.
• 3. APRON/LAB GOWN - is used to protects one's clothes
and skin from stains
• and marks and for hygienic purposes as well.
• 4. MOUTH MASK-is used to serve a 100% clean and safe
to consume food.
• CURING INGREDIENTS AND THEIR FUNCTIONS
• Salt – is a good preservative and provides the most desirable flavor. As
a preservative, it causes the partial dehydration of the tissue through
osmosis, at the same time withdraws water from the protoplasm of the
spoilage organisms, shriveling and inactivating their cells. Besides, it
improves the ability of meat proteins to retain either the normal
moisture content of added water and stabilize the fat protein emulsion
in sausage
• Three kinds of salt locally available
• 1. solar or coarse salt
• 2. Pangasinan salt
• 3. refined salt – the most suitable for meat curing on account that aside
• from being the most concentrated, it has the least amount of
• impurities.
• Sugar is a secondary ingredient in curing formula
which counteracts saltiness. It enhances the flavor
of the product and aids in lowering the PH of the
cure. Its role in color development and color stability
under present commercial curing practices has
been found to be negligible. Refined cane sugar is
the most suitable. The use of brown sugar is limited
by the fact that it caramelizes at a lower
temperature and tends to darken the meat in
cooking. Large amount of sugar on prolonged
curing, promotes vigorous microbial growth, which
usually causes acid fermentation that affects
palatability and color.
• Nitrate and Nitrite is (salitre or salt peter ) potassium nitrate (genuine
• salt peter ) sodium nitrate (chilli salt peter ) and nitrites are color fixation
• agents or substances responsible for the development of the proper color in
• cured meat products. The level of use of nitrates is limited to 200 mg/ kg of
• meat. Aside from fixing the color, the nitrite changes the anaerobic condition of the meat to
aerobic one so that CLOSTRIDIUM BOTULINUM and other
• putrefactive bacteria can not grow.
• Vinegar - is added for flavor but it also have some antiseptic value. It aids
• in promoting the shelf life of the finished product. The vinegar to be used
• should have an acetic acid content of 4.5% to 5.0%
• Spices- are aromatic vegetable substances used for seasoning of food.
• Usually this consists of leaves buds, flower, fruits and seeds. Rhizomes or
• other plant parts which have been dried can be used in their entire or in
• powdered form. These spices provides the flavoring properties to their
• content of volatile oil, while in some, flavor is due to the natural blending of
• the flavors of a great number of different components like alcohol, esters
• phenols and their derivatives organic acid, sulphur containing compounds,
• alcholoids , and resins. Examples of these spices are pepper, onion, garlic,
• paprika, laurel, oregano, etc.
• Binders, Fillers and Emulsifiers are intentional additives. These
• are added for economical reasons and they improve the finished product
• characteristics such as texture, appearance, slice ability and plumpness.
• They also prevent shrivelling and shrinkage to a certain extent.
• Binders are additives which when dissolved bind meat particles
• together and hold moisture during processing and or subsequent reheating.
• Examples of these are dried skim milk, cereal flour, starch and carrot flour.
• Fillers are binders that contain water soluble protein which serve as fillers
• for added weight. Examples are cereal grains and textured vegetable
• protein.
• Emulsifiers are binders that contain water soluble proteins which aid in
• the emulsification of ingredients. Example is dried whey.
• Ascorbic Acid hastens the color production due to either a chemical
• reaction with nitrate, producing more nitric oxide or by reducing
• metmyoglobin (oxidized meat pigment which is brown) to myoglobin (red).
• The permissible level for this adjuncts is 7 ½ oz of ascorbic acid or its salt to
• 160 gal. or pickle or ¾ oz. /100 lbs. of sausage met or emulsion or 500mg /
• kg meat.
• TECHNIQUES IN SALTING
• Making brine. The salt and other ingredients should be completely
• dissolved in water: the brine should be sterilized as possible. The meat are
• lightly packed in a clean, odorless periodically for density and salt
• concentration and be replenished as necessary for even curing. A
• temperature of 3ºC to 4ºC for the curing room is the accepted standard. Salt
• in the effect, lowers the moisture content of the product through osmosis, the
• process which involves the passage of water through a semi-permeable
• membrane from a region of low solute concentration to a region of high
• solute concentration until equilibrium.
• PREPARING CURING MIX FOR HAM AND BACON
• Curing mix consists of salt, sugar and nitrite to prolong the keeping quality
• of meat. The curing mix for bacon preparation is the same as ham
• preparation. Pumping solution is also injected into the meat. Measurement is
• the same as that of ham, which is ½ cup for every kg. meat.
• How to prepare curing mix for ham
• 1. Pumping pickle (50 % salinity)
• This mixture is good for 4kgs. of meat
• Allow ½ cup of the mixture per kg of meat
• In 2 cups water, add the following ingredients:
• ½ cup salt, coarse.
• 1 ½ tbsp sugar refined
• 1 tsp phosphate
• 2 tablets ascorbic acid or vitamin C, 500 mg (pulverized)
• 1 ½ tbsp ham spice
• 3. Dry cure mixture (per kg of meat)
• 2 ½ tbsp. coarse salt 1 ½ tbsp refined sugar
• ¼ tbsp phosphate
• ½ tablet ascorbic acid (500 mg)
• Preparation of Pumping Pickles
• 1. Pumping pickle. Prepare a stock of saturated salt solution (100º
• salinometer) by dissolving all the salt that can be dissolved, stirring in a
• certain amount of boiling water. Cool in refrigerator, strain the brine to
• remove dirt and excess salt. Boiled plain water for dilution purposes, must
• also be prepared and cooled. Then measure and mix all the required
• ingredients.
• 2. Brine (without any added ingredients ) should give a salinity of
• 8085º at 15.6ºC as determined by salinometer test. It is advisable to
• dissolve the curing ingredients in a small amount of brine before finally
• mixing with the rest of the liquid. Stir thoroughly and strain before
• using. Keep any unused pickle in the refrigerator for future use.
• 3. Cover pickle is lower in salinity (78º) than the pumping pickle, and
• the
• spices are omitted. The same procedure in mixing should be followed
• as in the pumping pickle.

    •10. Which practicesare observed by food handlers to assure cleanliness? •a. nutritional •b. diet •c. surgical •d. sanitary
  • 210.
    • Sanitary • Cure •Disinfectant • Contaminate
  • 211.
    •The following aresome basic rules of sanitary food handling practices that must be observed by food handlers:
  • 212.
    •1. Hands shouldbe washed thoroughly with soap and water. A disinfectant •solution of chlorinated water should be available for rinsing the hands before •handling food. Wearing rings, bracelets, and wrist watches during processing •should be avoided as these can be source of contamination.
  • 213.
    •2. Whenever possible,food must not be handled directly during preparation •and packing.
  • 214.
    •3. Packing materialsmust never be handled directly particularly on the side that shall be in direct contact with the food
  • 215.
    •4. Food handlersshould be properly dressed. The use of gowns, aprons, head caps, or hair nets, masks, rubber, boots, and gloves are ideal. This prevents contamination of food by foreign matters from the handlers’ body like hair, dust and germs extracted from the nose and mouth. However, for small scale industries clean and light color shirt and caps and hairnets would be efficient.
  • 216.
    •5. Smoking inthe preparation, processing, and packing area should never be allowed. Smoke can be absorbed in the food or the ashes and cigarette butts may get into the food. Spitting and blowing of the nose should never be done within the premises of the plant. These unhealthy habits contribute to contamination and spread of diseases.
  • 217.
    • PERSONAL PROTECTIVEEQUIPMENT • 1. FOOD GLOVES - is used to prevent bare hand contact while preparing food. • 2. HAIR NET - is used to reduce the chance of stray hairs while preparing food. • 3. APRON/LAB GOWN - is used to protects one's clothes and skin from stains • and marks and for hygienic purposes as well. • 4. MOUTH MASK-is used to serve a 100% clean and safe to consume food.
  • 218.
    • CURING INGREDIENTSAND THEIR FUNCTIONS • Salt – is a good preservative and provides the most desirable flavor. As a preservative, it causes the partial dehydration of the tissue through osmosis, at the same time withdraws water from the protoplasm of the spoilage organisms, shriveling and inactivating their cells. Besides, it improves the ability of meat proteins to retain either the normal moisture content of added water and stabilize the fat protein emulsion in sausage • Three kinds of salt locally available • 1. solar or coarse salt • 2. Pangasinan salt • 3. refined salt – the most suitable for meat curing on account that aside • from being the most concentrated, it has the least amount of • impurities.
  • 219.
    • Sugar isa secondary ingredient in curing formula which counteracts saltiness. It enhances the flavor of the product and aids in lowering the PH of the cure. Its role in color development and color stability under present commercial curing practices has been found to be negligible. Refined cane sugar is the most suitable. The use of brown sugar is limited by the fact that it caramelizes at a lower temperature and tends to darken the meat in cooking. Large amount of sugar on prolonged curing, promotes vigorous microbial growth, which usually causes acid fermentation that affects palatability and color.
  • 220.
    • Nitrate andNitrite is (salitre or salt peter ) potassium nitrate (genuine • salt peter ) sodium nitrate (chilli salt peter ) and nitrites are color fixation • agents or substances responsible for the development of the proper color in • cured meat products. The level of use of nitrates is limited to 200 mg/ kg of • meat. Aside from fixing the color, the nitrite changes the anaerobic condition of the meat to aerobic one so that CLOSTRIDIUM BOTULINUM and other • putrefactive bacteria can not grow.
  • 221.
    • Vinegar -is added for flavor but it also have some antiseptic value. It aids • in promoting the shelf life of the finished product. The vinegar to be used • should have an acetic acid content of 4.5% to 5.0%
  • 222.
    • Spices- arearomatic vegetable substances used for seasoning of food. • Usually this consists of leaves buds, flower, fruits and seeds. Rhizomes or • other plant parts which have been dried can be used in their entire or in • powdered form. These spices provides the flavoring properties to their • content of volatile oil, while in some, flavor is due to the natural blending of • the flavors of a great number of different components like alcohol, esters • phenols and their derivatives organic acid, sulphur containing compounds, • alcholoids , and resins. Examples of these spices are pepper, onion, garlic, • paprika, laurel, oregano, etc.
  • 223.
    • Binders, Fillersand Emulsifiers are intentional additives. These • are added for economical reasons and they improve the finished product • characteristics such as texture, appearance, slice ability and plumpness. • They also prevent shrivelling and shrinkage to a certain extent.
  • 224.
    • Binders areadditives which when dissolved bind meat particles • together and hold moisture during processing and or subsequent reheating. • Examples of these are dried skim milk, cereal flour, starch and carrot flour.
  • 225.
    • Fillers arebinders that contain water soluble protein which serve as fillers • for added weight. Examples are cereal grains and textured vegetable • protein.
  • 226.
    • Emulsifiers arebinders that contain water soluble proteins which aid in • the emulsification of ingredients. Example is dried whey.
  • 227.
    • Ascorbic Acidhastens the color production due to either a chemical • reaction with nitrate, producing more nitric oxide or by reducing • metmyoglobin (oxidized meat pigment which is brown) to myoglobin (red). • The permissible level for this adjuncts is 7 ½ oz of ascorbic acid or its salt to • 160 gal. or pickle or ¾ oz. /100 lbs. of sausage met or emulsion or 500mg / • kg meat.
  • 228.
    • TECHNIQUES INSALTING • Making brine. The salt and other ingredients should be completely • dissolved in water: the brine should be sterilized as possible. The meat are • lightly packed in a clean, odorless periodically for density and salt • concentration and be replenished as necessary for even curing. A • temperature of 3ºC to 4ºC for the curing room is the accepted standard. Salt • in the effect, lowers the moisture content of the product through osmosis, the • process which involves the passage of water through a semi-permeable • membrane from a region of low solute concentration to a region of high • solute concentration until equilibrium.
  • 229.
    • PREPARING CURINGMIX FOR HAM AND BACON • Curing mix consists of salt, sugar and nitrite to prolong the keeping quality • of meat. The curing mix for bacon preparation is the same as ham • preparation. Pumping solution is also injected into the meat. Measurement is • the same as that of ham, which is ½ cup for every kg. meat.
  • 230.
    • How toprepare curing mix for ham • 1. Pumping pickle (50 % salinity) • This mixture is good for 4kgs. of meat • Allow ½ cup of the mixture per kg of meat • In 2 cups water, add the following ingredients: • ½ cup salt, coarse. • 1 ½ tbsp sugar refined • 1 tsp phosphate • 2 tablets ascorbic acid or vitamin C, 500 mg (pulverized) • 1 ½ tbsp ham spice • 3. Dry cure mixture (per kg of meat) • 2 ½ tbsp. coarse salt 1 ½ tbsp refined sugar • ¼ tbsp phosphate • ½ tablet ascorbic acid (500 mg)
  • 231.
    • Preparation ofPumping Pickles • 1. Pumping pickle. Prepare a stock of saturated salt solution (100º • salinometer) by dissolving all the salt that can be dissolved, stirring in a • certain amount of boiling water. Cool in refrigerator, strain the brine to • remove dirt and excess salt. Boiled plain water for dilution purposes, must • also be prepared and cooled. Then measure and mix all the required • ingredients.
  • 232.
    • 2. Brine(without any added ingredients ) should give a salinity of • 8085º at 15.6ºC as determined by salinometer test. It is advisable to • dissolve the curing ingredients in a small amount of brine before finally • mixing with the rest of the liquid. Stir thoroughly and strain before • using. Keep any unused pickle in the refrigerator for future use.
  • 233.
    • 3. Coverpickle is lower in salinity (78º) than the pumping pickle, and • the • spices are omitted. The same procedure in mixing should be followed • as in the pumping pickle.
