The purpose of the experiment was to identify the optimum temperature to store bread to prevent mold development in addition to shallowly examining the effects of preservatives in altering expected mold growth. To achieve this we recorded differences in mold-growth rates at different temperatures. We hypothesized that different temperatures would affect mold’s growth, but also that, ultimately, growth could be minimal if the bread’s preservatives have strong effects on Rhizopus stolonifer. Our hypothesis being already explored in several previous studies and numerous textbooks allowed us to make firm predictions
So much of our industrial food turns out to be rearrangements of corn. Process analysis writing involves writing to give instructions on how to do something or to describe how something is done. Pollan wrote a book on rules for eating. The main message he wanted everyone to take out is: eat food, not too much, mostly plants. Pollan mentions Twinkies and non-dairy creamer as often as he does because he doesn’t want us to eat it because they can be readily identified as something not “whole”.
Kellogg should first consider the demand for dry cereal product in India, based on cultural preferences and other preferences in breakfast food. " Indians, rather like the Chinese, think that to start the day with something cold -- like cold milk on your cereal -- is a shock to the system," (Bhan & Nemer, 2006). The company may not be able to sell some products, like Corn Flakes, in its current form. Adding warm milk will make the flakes soggy and undesirable. Kellogg may need to consider whether limiting the product line to Rice Krispies is a better option.
It simply reduces the amounts of bacteria in foods that may become potential illnesses in humans. Accordingly, food irradiation advocates 40 years of research showing the process to be safe, however, evidence for
And it's actually very low in sugars. This will act as a solution for the second problem because it will lessen the demand for corn farms which is affecting agricultural business and the need for deforestation. First, High Fructose Corn Syrup (or HFCS) should be removed because it serves no higher purpose other than to add “taste” to products while filling the body with empty calories. HFCS first became a problem when America actually had too much corn and didn't know what to do with it. Exploration began of just how many ways this vegetable could be used.
The firm’s strategy for differentiation that enables them to compete within the context of their industry is making breads all from scratch and by hand. Amy believes that better breads come out of manual break making since the good texture of the dough is maintained, and it keeps the good flavors of the product. Amy’s Bread is also different from other products and companies because of the ingredients they use for their production. They use unbleached flour,
Six Sigma is a system that allows companies to isolate the exact number of errors in their production, operating under the assumption that if it is possible to isolate an error it is possible to correct it. By 2005, MLF had had success with this system and wanted to spread it to a new area. This new program was called “Six Sigma @ The Edge” and was designed to engage front line employees in the Six Sigma methodology. MLF’s Rivermede plant was part of the bakery line of MLF products. At this plant, products were baked to 90% and quick-frozen for shipping to customers, who would do the last 12-15 minutes of baking, mostly in in-store bakeries.
We should care about our environment by ordering smaller amounts of food when in restaurants. Many people in the restaurants order too much food especially in buffets but when they finish their dinner, we can see there are still have some food left on the dishes. I was one of them who always wasted food when I was done with my meal. I didn’t realize that the food I tossed in the trash could impact our environment and lead to pollution concerns. In the book, Bloom said “it’s easier for today’s children to waste food because they are so removed from its origins.” The reason why we waste food easily is we don’t have the chance to plant, water, or nurse the plants by ourselves, so we don’t know how hard it is to plant and grow the food.
However, the business students came up with a different suggestion. They only look at the profits and asked them to focus on producing the McDoogle pies in a large scale. Then they sell them to the local grocery store. This strategy violates the original thought of Elizabeth and her friends that they would like to concentrate on traditional baked and delicious goods, so it’s wrong. It may lead to the failure of the company.
Kristen's Cookie Company should give a discount for people who order two dozen cookies or more, because the labor costs decrease per order, since the more orders they can do per shift, the smaller their labor cost per order becomes, so long as the labor cost is paid per hour. The valuable time for a one-dozen order is the time to wash and mix (6 minutes), the time to spoon (2 minutes), the time to put the cookies in the oven (1 minute),
