Multiple choice question

1. What is the temperature quotient (Q10) for photosynthesis?


a) 2.6 to 3.0
b) 2.1 to 2.5
c) 1.5 to 1.8
d) 1.8 to 2.0
Explanation: Photosynthesis is highly dependent on temperature. At low temperature,
photosynthesis rate decreases. So, this reaction rates can easily be estimated using temperature
quotient law.

2. The force needed to produce the first significant fracture during the texture profile
analysis (TPA) is
a. Fracturability
b. Hardness
c. Cohesiveness
d. None of the above
Explanation:

3. Monosodium Glutamate (MSG) is a/an


a. Antioxidant
b. Anti-microbial component
c. Nutraceutical
d. Flavoring component
Explanation: MSG is used in the food industry as a flavor enhancer with an umami taste that
intensifies the meaty, savory flavor of food, as naturally occurring glutamate does in foods such
as stews and meat soups
4. Which of the following chemical preservatives is mostly added to extend the shelf life of
fruit beverages?
a) Sodium benzoate
b) Calcium propionate
c) Tocopherol
d) None of the above
Explanation: Under acidic conditions (most of the fruit and vegetable products) Sodium
benzoate works perfectly.
5. What is the range of high hydrostatic pressure to inactivate vegetative microorganisms?
a. 10 to 100 MPa
b. 100 to 200 MPa
c. 200 to 300 MPa
d. 400 to 600 MPa
Explanation: The range for particular type of microorganisms was decided based on
experimentation
6. The main principle of low temperature storage is
a) Killing of microbes
b) Reduction in rates of enzymatic, non enzymatic and microbial changes
c) Reduction of moisture loss
d) None of the above
Explanation: The rate of biochemical changes caused by either micro-organisms or naturally
occurring enzymes increases with temperature. Low temperature storage therefore reduces the
rate of enzymic and microbiological change and retards respiration of fresh foods.
7. The work needed to pull out the probe from the sample after the first bite during texture
profile analysis
a) Fracturability
b) Hardness
c) Adhesiveness
d) Springiness

Explanation: Not required. TPA is shown in Q2.

8. The term GRAS used related to food additives, stands for


a. Generally Recognized As Safe
b. Global Requirement of Additives and Samples
c. Global Record of Accepted Standards
d. Globally Reorganized American Standards
Explanation: Not required
9. Calcium stearate is used as an
a. Antifungal agent
b. Antifoaming agent
c. Anticaking agent
d. Antibacterial Agent
Explanation: The main function of any anticaking agent is either by adsorbing excess moisture,
or by coating particles and making them water repellent and Calcium stearate is one of them.
10. Which of the following is/are the class I preservative(s)?
a. Sugar
b. Sorbic acid
c. Calcium propionates
d. All of the above
Explanation: All-natural food preservatives like sugar is classified as class I
preservatives
