1. What is the average boiling point of milk?
a) 100-101 °C
b) 105-110 °C
c) 115-117 °C
d) 102-105 °C
Discussion
Explanation: Milk is a mix of butter fat and water so it is slightly heavier than water. The boiling points of liquids are due to the gravity of the liquid. Milk boils at 100-101 °C.
2. What is the average specific gravity of normal whole milk at 16 °C?
a) 0.903
b) 1.032
c) 1.582
d) 2.032
Discussion
Explanation: The specific gravity of milk measured at 15oC or 20oC is normally 1.028 – 1,033 kg/litre. The specific gravity depends on the protein and fat content. The specific gravity of fat is 0.93, solids-non-fat, 1.6 and water 1.0 kg/litre.
3. Which is the pre-dominating organism in dirty utensils of milk?
a) Lactobacillus bulgaricus
b) Propionibacterium
c) Streptococcus lactis
d) Phosphorous
Discussion
Explanation: Streptococcus lactis, Members of the Lactococcus genus (lactis, milk; milk cocci) are facultatively anaerobic, catalase-negative, gram-positive cocci that occur singly, in pairs, or in chains. They are extensively found in dirty milk utensils
4. Energy value of a food is measured in terms of?
a) Carbohydrates
b) Fats
c) Proteins
d) Calories
Discussion
Explanation: Energy value calculation uses a single factor for each of the energy-yielding substrates (protein, fat, and carbohydrate), regardless of the food in which it is found. The energy values are 37 kJ/g (9.0 kcal/g) for fat, 17 kJ/g (4.0 kcal/g) for protein, and 17 kJ/g (4.0 kcal/g) for carbohydrates.
5. The high nutritive value of cheese is due to which of the following?
a) High mineral contents
b) High protein contents
c) Taste & flavor
d) Rancidity
Discussion
Explanation: Cheese has been an important part of the human diet, both as a dietary staple and gourmet food. In addition to being delicious, it is highly nutritious and very rich in several vitamins and minerals.
6. Food value of ice cream depends to a large extent on its?
a) Flavor
b) Volume
c) Composition
d) Taste
Discussion
Explanation: The food value of a particular food measures of how good it is for you, based on its level of vitamins, minerals, or calories. Ice cream’s food value depends on its composition.
7. Chlorine compounds have widespread acceptance in the dairy industry due to?
a) Non-toxicity
b) High sanitizing efficiency
c) High corrosiveness
d) Oxidative properties
Discussion
Explanation: Sanitization is one of the important aspects of the dairy industry. Chlorine is a highly efficient sanitizing agent
8. The process of raising or lowering the percent of fat in milk or cream to the desired standard is called?
a) Enrichment
b) Fortification
c) Standardization
d) Addition
Discussion
Explanation: Standardization of milk refers to the adjustment which means raising or lowering of fat and solids not fat levels of milk. It is simply the process of adjusting the fat content of milk
9. A product consisting of a mixture of milk and cream which contains not less than 10.5% milk fat is called?
a) Concentrated Milk
b) Low Fat Milk
c) Half-and –Half
d) Eggnog
Discussion
Explanation: Half and half is simplyhalf whole milk and half cream. Its butterfat content is usually 12.5%. but never less than 10.5%.
