UNIVERSITY OF TECHNOLOGY FOREIGN LANGUAGE DEPARTMENT FOR INTERNAL USE ONLY Sưu tầm bởi: www.daihoc.com.vn FOOD AND NUTRITION 1 FOOD AND NUTRITION READING COMPREHENSION All living organisms require food for survival, growth, and reproduction Most broadly, the term food can be taken to include any kind of nutrient needed by animals, plants, and simpler forms of life, on down to bacteria This would include, for example, the inorganic substances that plants draw from air and water The processes that circulate these basic nutrients in the environment are called nutrient cycles, and the processes by which organisms make use of nutrients are collectively known as metabolism In terms of the energy needs of humans and other animals, food consists 10 of carbohydrate, fat, and protein, along with vitamins and minerals Humans may consume a wide range of different food substances, as long as they meet nutrition requirements Otherwise nutritionaldeficiency diseases will develop Sưu tầm bởi: www.daihoc.com.vn ENGLISH FOR NUTRITION AND FOOD SCIENCES 15 Nutrition is the science that interprets the relationship of food to the functioning of the living organism It is concerned with the intake of food, digestive processes, the liberation of energy, and the elimination of wastes, as well as with all the syntheses that are essential for maintenance, growth, and reproduction These fundamental activities are 20 characteristic of all living organisms – from the simplest to the most complex plants and animals Nutrients are substances, either naturally occurring or synthesized, that are necessary for maintenance of the normal function of organisms These include carbohydrates, lipids, proteins, vitamins and minerals, water, and some unknown substances 25 The nutritionist, a scientist working in the field of nutrition, differs from the dietitian, who translates the science of nutrition into the skill of furnishing optimal nourishment to people Dietetics is a profession concerned with the science and art of human nutrition care, an essential component of the health sciences The treatment of disease by 30 modification of the diet lies within the province of the physician and the dietitian The foods consumed by humans must contain, in adequate amounts, about 45 to 50 highly important substances Water and oxygen are equally essential Starting only with these essential nutrients obtained 35 from food, the body makes literally thousands of substances necessary for life and physical fitness Most of these substances are far more complicated in structure than the original nutrients Energy metabolism and requirements are customarily expressed in terms of the calorie, a heat unit Adoption of the calorie by nutritionists 40 followed quite naturally from the original methods of measuring energy metabolism The magnitude of human energy metabolism, however, made it awkward to record the calorie measured, so the convention of the large calorie, or kilocalorie (kcal), was accepted Atwater factors, also called physiologic fuel factors, are based on the corrections for 45 losses of unabsorbed nutrients in the feces and for the calorie equivalent of the nitrogenous products in the urine These factors are as follows: 1g of pure protein will yield calories, 1g of pure fat will yield calories, and g of pure carbohydrate will yield calories Questions: Answer the questions about the reading 1) 2) 3) 4) 5) What is food?

SCIENCES FOOD PRESERVATION READING COMPREHENSION Food preservation is the process of treating and handling food in such a way as to stop or greatly slow down spoilage to prevent foodborne illness while maintaining nutritional value, texture and flavor Preservation usually involves preventing the growth of bacteria, fungi and other micro-organisms, as well as retarding the oxidation of fats which causes rancidity Common methods of preserving food include drying, freeze drying, freezing, vacuum-packing, canning, radiation treatment and adding preservatives Other methods that not only help to preserve food, but 10 also add flavor, include pickling, salting, smoking and curing The oldest method of food preservation is by drying, which reduces water activity sufficient to delay or prevent bacterial growth Smoking is sometimes done in conjunction with drying Although not sufficient by itself to permit long term storage of food, smoking adds chemicals that 15 help inhibit the growth of micro-organisms Vacuum-packing stores food in a vacuum environment, usually in an air-tight bag or bottle The vacuum environment strips bacteria of oxygen needed for survival, hence preventing the food from spoiling Vacuum-packing is commonly used for storing nuts 20 Curing draws moisture from the meat through a process of osmosis Meat is cured with salt or sugar, or a combination of the two Nitrates and nitrites are also often used to cure meat Sưu tầm bởi: www.daihoc.com.vn FOOD PRESERVATION 21 Method Effect on microbial growth or survival Refrigeration or chilling Low temperature to

of some micro-organisms by carbon dioxide Addition of acids Reduction of pH value and sometimes additional inhibition by the particular acid Lactic fermentation Reduction of pH value in situ by microbial action and sometimes additional inhibition by the lactic and acetic acids formed and by other microbial products (e.g ethanol, bacteriocins) Emulsification Compartmentalisation and nutrient limitation within the aqueous droplets in water-in-oil emulsion foods Addition of preservatives Inhibition of specific groups of microorganisms Pasteurization and appertization Delivery of heat sufficient to inactivate target micro-organisms to the desired extent food irradation (Radurization, radicidation and radappertization) Delivery of ionising radiation Application of high hydrostatic pressure (Pascalization) Pressure-inactivation of vegetative bacteria, yeasts and moulds Main food preservation methods Pickling is a method of preserving food by placing it in either a brine (high in salt), or a solution of vinegar which is too acidic to permit 25 bacterial growth Canning involves cooking fruits or vegetables, sealing them in sterile cans or jars, and boiling the containers to kill or weaken any remaining bacteria Various foods have varying degrees of natural protection against spoilage and may require that the final step occur in a pressure 30 cooker High-acid fruits like strawberries require no preservatives to can and only a short boiling cycle, whereas marginal fruits such as tomatoes require longer boiling and addition of other acidic elements Many vegetables require pressure canning A 1950s issue of Popular Mechanics details the impending arrival of 35 "food irradiation" However, at the present time, the implications surrounding the irradiation of food are still not fully understood, and the technology is therefore still not in widespread use However, irradiation of potatoes, strawberries, and meat is common in many countries where Sưu tầm bởi:

coli and Salmonella In the US and most of Europe irradiation of spices is common, as the only alternative (treatment with gas) has been shown to be potentially carcinogenic The process is incorrectly called "pasteurization" to avoid the reduced sales that arise from the correct 45 term of "irradiation" A tomato cannery in Modesto, California Questions: Answer the questions about the reading 1) 2)
