Technology In Food Production:Nutrition:Biology Chapter 6

Image result for oil palm breeding

a) Oil Palm Breeding

  • Dura sp. have a thin mesokarpa,a large kernel and thick shells
  • Pisifera sp. have thick mesokarpa,thin shells and small kernel
  • Pisifera and Dura sp. are crushed to produce Tenera sp. varieties
  • Tenera sp. is thick mesokarpa,thin shells and a large kernel

b) Animal Breeding
  • breeding breeds of Friesian sp. and bull breeds of Shahiwal sp.
  • produce cattle of Mafriwal sp.
  • produce a lot of milk and supply a lot of meat

c) Tissue Culture Techniques

1.Hydroponic Method
  • The young plant tissue is immersed into a culture medium containing all the nutrients and hormones
  • Then becomes embryo and transferred into another container as a seeding
  • Plants are supported by the former and the roots are soaked in a solvent culture solution
2.Aeroponic Method
  • The plant is supported by a frame whose roots in the air are sprayed with a complete culture solution


Image result for genetic engineering
d) Genetic engineering involves the manipulation of genes that are transmitted in or out of organisms

e) Rotary planting can reduce soil burden



Image result for stripped cultivation
f) Stripped cultivation is practiced with a piece of land divided into several strips with different plants
  • Reducing the risk of soil erosion and leakage

g) Biological control using natural predators



The Development of Food Processing Technology



h) Using preservatives,flavors,dryes
  • killing microorganisms using salt,sugar and vinegar

i) Drying food or heated at high temperature
  • fish and shrimp dried
  • The spores form will not be active when the food boils

j) Add yeast to fermentation and produce ethanol to kill microorganisms
  • tapai and tempeh

k) Milk condensation that is heated with high temperatures followed by instant cooling


l) Freezing to preserve raw meat


m) Canning by sterilizing food at temperatures above 100C under high pressure


n) Food damage due to oxidation can be prevented by BHA

Factor Affecting Of Photosynthesis:Nutrition:Biology Chapter 6

Image result for factors affecting photosynthesis


 Light intensity

  • The rate of photosynthesis is directly proportional to light intensity up to a certain point
Temperature
  • The optimum temperature for conducting photosynthesis varies for different species of plants
Concentration Of Carbon Dioxide
  • The rate of photosynthesis is directly proportional to the concentration of carbon dioxide up to a certain point



Rate of Photosynthesis in 4 Seasons


Image result for autumn
Autumn - low because trees shed their leaves



Image result for spring season
Spring - high because the temperature is high and moderate




Image result for summer season
Summer - hghest because of the high temperature and high light intensity




Image result for winter season
Winter - ceases beacuse the below 0C temperature and shorter daylight






Image result for greenhouse

Increasing The Productivity Of Crops
  • greenhouse are widely used in countries with 4 seasons to ensure crop production throughout the year
  • helps in regulating the factors that affects the rate of photosynthesis
  • Temperature
  • Light intensity
  • Concentration Carbon dioxide
