31) QUALITY OF DRIED FOODS AND DETERIORATIVE REACTIONS DURING DRYING Consumer demand has increased for processed products that keep more of their original characteristics. In industrial terms‚ this requires the development of operations that minimize the adverse effects of processing. The effect of food processing on finished product quality ultimately determines the usefulness and commercial viability of that unit process operation. In the particular case of food drying this indicates that loss

The unemployment rate An unemployed person is one who is able and willing to work yet is unable to find a job. The unemployment rate is the number of unemployed workers divided by the total civilian labor force‚ which includes both the unemployed and those with jobs. Measuring the number of unemployed workers actually seeking work is very difficult‚ but there exists several different methods to do so. Each method has its own biases and the different systems that make comparing unemployment

This investigation tested the hypothesis: The rate of osmosis will increase as the temperature increases 2x2x2cm cubes of potato were weighed and then placed into 100mL of 10% NaCl solutions for 10 minutes. After 10 minutes the cubes were again weighed to determine the amount of mass that they lost/gained and thus get an indication of the rate of osmosis. The results collected showed that the rate of osmosis was highest in the 70°C solution and lowest in the 20°C solution

RATE OF REACTIONS. The reaction rate (rate of reaction) or speed of reaction for a reactant or product in a particular reaction is intuitively defined as how fast or slow a reaction takes place. For example‚ the oxidative rusting of iron under the atmosphere is a slow reaction that can take many years‚ but the combustion of cellulose in a fire is a reaction that takes place in fractions of a second (right). Chemical kinetics is the part of physical chemistry that studies reaction rates. The concepts

Labor rate variance is the difference between the actual labor rate and the applied overhead rate (standard rate multiplied by the number of actual hours worked). Consider this and respond to the following: • "Our workers are all under labor contracts. Therefore‚ our labor rate variance is bound to be zero." Do you agree or disagree that the labor rate variance will be zero if all workers are under labor contracts? Explain giving reasons. The concept of labor rate variance and its application
