About Food Safety, Preparation and Processing

GoConqr Original

What this page covers

The resources here follow food from the shop to the plate. Some cover safe handling: Chapter 4 Review is a quiz on cross-contamination and thermometers, and the flashcards on chapters 12 and 13 explain food-borne illness, pathogens and the routes they take into food. Others look at processing and preparation, such as additives, preservation, protein and the functional properties of food. There are also resources on allergies and intolerances.

Where to start

If you are preparing for GCSE Food Technology, open the GCSE Food Technology key terms deck first. It defines words such as aeration, anaerobic, aseptic packaging and blast chilling. The mind map on additives in Food Technology then shows what additives do in the diet. If you are following Leaving Cert Home Economics, the note on the 2013 paper has a question on the biological functions of protein, and the Home Ec quiz on protein and fat is a good follow-up.

Using quizzes and maps together

Mind maps are the fastest way to see how a topic fits together. There are many on microwaves, convection ovens and fridges, and several on food preservation. Read one map, then test yourself with a quiz.

  1. Read a map or deck on one topic, such as food allergies.
  2. Take a quiz, for example Food protection, and note what you missed.
  3. Go back to the map and flashcards for those gaps.
  4. Try the quiz again.

University students and professional candidates may find the food safety study guide note and the lecture-based flashcards useful. The same resources can help teachers who want ready-made material for a lesson.

Where this unit sits

This unit belongs to the strand Food, Diet and Meal Planning in the subject Nutrition and dietetics. It focuses on keeping food safe and on what preparation and processing do to it. Titles and styles vary, because the resources were made by different contributors.

Choose one deck or map that matches what you are studying, and open it now. You can add your own notes alongside it later.

Frequently asked questions

Which resource should I open first?

For GCSE Food Technology, start with the key terms flashcard deck, which covers additives, aeration, aseptic packaging and more. For food hygiene and temperature questions, try the quiz called Chapter 4 Review. For allergies, the flashcards on food allergies and intolerances are a clear starting point.

What do the mind maps on this page cover?

There are over 40 mind maps. Many cover kitchen equipment such as microwaves, convection ovens and fridges. Others cover additives, food preservation, allergens, raw meat, vitamins and food processing, and the functional properties of food. Some are linked to exam topics, such as a design question in Food Technology.

Are these resources free to use?

Yes. Every resource listed here is free to open, study and take, and you don't need an account. They were made by GoConqr users, not by GoConqr itself, so style and depth differ from one resource to the next.

Which exams or levels do they suit?

Most resources suit school students, and a good share suit university students and professional candidates. Two exams are mentioned in the listed resources: GCSE Food Technology and Leaving Cert Home Economics. Teachers can also use them as ready-made material for classes.

Can I save my quiz scores or make my own resources?

A free account saves your quiz scores and lets you create your own quizzes, mind maps, flashcards and notes. That is useful if you want to adapt a listed deck to your own course or build a set on a topic you find hard.

What if I can't find the topic I need?

Look through the mind maps and flashcard decks, since similar topics often appear under different titles, such as fridges, microwaves or food preservation. If your topic is still missing, build a short mind map or flashcard set yourself using what you have learned.
