Explain the concept of food spoilage and shelf life. Explain the principle of pasteurization and sterilization. Analyze the parameters of High-Temperature-Time-Treatment (HTST) pasteurization. Perform canning as a method of sterilization.
Lab 4: Pasteurization and Sterilization
Learning Outcomes
Explain the concept of food spoilage and shelf life.
Explain the principle of pasteurization and sterilization.
Analyze the parameters of High-Temperature-Time-Treatment (HTST) pasteurization.
Perform canning as a method of sterilization.
Identify how plastic and metal can be used as materials for packaging.
Introduction: Experiment with pasteurization and sterilization Virtual Simulation LabIn the Pasteurization and Sterilization lab, you will help Adam, an organic farmer, to increase the shelf life of his peach juice. Together with Marie, a food scientist, you will learn the basics of food spoilage and shelf life by performing a series of spoilage detection experiments. Later, you will explore two types of heat treatment, pasteurization and sterilization, to eliminate the food spoilage in the peach juice. Finally, you will employ your knowledge to determine which type of packaging and heat treatment is suitable for Adams peach juice. Will you be able to eliminate spoilage in Adams peach juice?
Questions:
Purpose: Why is food safety important?
What practices would you recommend to keep food safe at home?
What would you recommend for storage of milk at home?
What is the difference between pasteurization and sterilization?
Reflection: Write 5 sentences on what you learned from this simulation. What did you like and what was something that you would prefer not be a part of this simulation?

Scenario Exercise: Your company Acme Logistics has recently been experiencing some thefts of equipment during the business day. All employees have been asked about the thefts and no one is claiming that they are responsible. Your facilities has three doors that are not locked during business hours and currently have no identification standards set for admittance. You have been tasked with resolving this issue technologically. Using a mixture of Biometric devices, surveillance systems with advanced tracking for biometric tags such as gait analysis, and other items or technology you deem necessary, you must capture these individuals and stop the thefts. You need to produce a plan on how you are going to tackle this situation. You should submit a proposal with the following items: 1) What is the situational breakdown? 2) What is the technology you will use to secure access to authorized individuals at the three public doors? 3) What is the technology you will use to capture the individuals in the act of stealing items?
