About Food Technology
GoConqr OriginalWhat this unit covers
The resources here follow the food product journey, from spotting a need to making and testing a dish. Several maps are worked project examples, so you can see how a design task is broken down and developed.
- Design and development: the map on the design, development and production of new products starts with concept generation, identifying a need in a market and understanding changing consumer needs.
- Project work: Cake Development Web looks at shape, size and healthier changes such as less sugar and added fibre. Development Idea's weighs up waffles, crepes and pastry, noting problems like too little texture or sauce.
- Practical outcomes: Pizza Development, Macaroons, Meringue Kisses and Fruit Pie show particular bakes and ideas.
Theory to start with
Begin with Fruits and Vegetables, which covers nutritional value, vitamins, fibre, minerals and the 5 a Day campaign. Then read Food Technology, a map of labelling and food terms such as the e sign and sauce definitions. Raising agents and Bakery Knowledge are good next steps if you bake.
Making and production
FOOD TECH - Manufacturing & Production Methods explains that the chosen method depends on the number of products, the type of product, equipment and cost. FOOD TECH - Home Food Processing Techniques covers cooking, shaping and forming, and how heat moves by convection, conduction and radiation. The deck Food tech-systems and practices asks about inputs, processes, outputs, feedback, batch, mass and continuous production.
Using maps and flashcards together
Read a map first, then close it and try a deck on the same theme. GCSE Food Technology Key Words suits vocabulary, Food Revision - sustainability suits a single topic, and Food Tech- Eggs - November Mini Assessments works as a short check. Go back to the map for anything you missed.
Where it fits
This unit sits in the Design Specialisms strand of Design and technology. Many resources mention GCSE Food Technology, GCSE Design and Technology and GCSE Food Preparation and Nutrition. Choose one map to open today and see what you can recall.
Frequently asked questions
Which resource should I open first?
Start with Fruits and Vegetables if you want core nutrition, or the map on the design, development and production of new products if you are working on a project. Both are mind maps with clear branches, so you can see the whole topic before you move on to flashcards.
What do the mind maps cover?
They cover nutrition, labelling, raising agents, production methods, home food processing, task analysis and design briefs. Others record project development, such as Pizza Development, Final Idea: Mini Burgers and Cafe Task Analysis, so you can see how ideas are tested and improved.
Are the resources free to use?
Yes. Every resource listed here is free to open and study with no account. They were made by GoConqr users, not by GoConqr. If you sign up for a free account, you can also save quiz scores and make your own maps, flashcards and notes.
Which exams do these resources suit?
The listed resources mention GCSE Food Technology, GCSE Design and Technology and GCSE Food Preparation and Nutrition. Almost all of the material is at secondary level, so it suits school students at that stage and teachers looking for ready-made revision material.
Are there quizzes on this page?
There are no quizzes here at the moment. You will find over 120 mind maps and over 10 flashcard decks instead. Use the decks, such as Food revision flashcards, to test recall after reading a map.
What if I cannot find my topic?
Check the related maps first, as a topic may sit inside a wider one, for example the Food Technology map. If it is still missing, you can make your own mind map or flashcards, and a free account lets you save them.
