- 1CoagulateTo change into a MORE SOLID state
E.g. eggs when they become white and solid once heated - 2Danger ZoneThis is the range in temperatures (5°C - 63°C) in which BACTERIA MULTIPLY VERY QUICKLY
- 3EmulsionA mixture of OILY and WATERY LIQUIDS
E.g. salad cream, mayonnaise, salad dressing - 4CaramelisationThis is when sugar 'cooks' and changes to a BROWN LIQUID when heated
- 5ContaminateTo make something dirty and UNHYGIENIC
E.g. a fly could contaminate soup - 6High-Risk FoodA food in which BACTERIA can MULTIPLY QUICKLY
- 7GlutenThis is the PROTEIN found in FLOUR that makes dough STRETCHY
- 8CAMComputer Aided Manufacture
Efficiently controls and monitors PRODUCTION using computers - 9CADComputer Aided Design
Helps to CREATE, MODIFY & COMMUNICATE information efficiently - 10Batch ProductionThis involves producing a CERTAIN NUMBER OF A PRODUCT in ONE GO
- 11Food MilesThe DISTANCE A PRODUCT TRAVELS from where it is produced to where it is sold
- 12FermentationThis is the process of YEAST BREAKING DOWN into SUGARS to RELEASE CO₂ and ALCOHOL
