What Is It
 Are you excited to know more about food processing procedures? Yes you
are! How about the tools, equipment and utensils used in food processing with
their uses and functions? Here it is.
Read this information then find out how much you can learn.

FOOD (FISH) PROCESSING PROCEDURE

Food (fish) processing procedure involves four basic procedures used in
final processing of fish products for consumption, cooking, or storage such as
heating, freezing, drying, and smoking.

1. Heating occurs during both the cooking and the canning process. It can
alter the quality and nutritional value of fish.
2. Freezing keeps and maintains the flavor, quality and reduce the
biochemical reaction in fish flesh.
3. Drying reduces the water activity of fish, decrease the growth of
microorganisms.
4. Smoking slows the chemical reaction that harms the quality of the fish
product.

THE EQUIPMENT, TOOLS, UTENSILS AND INSTRUMENTS:

Equipment is a machine, appliance or accessories used for processing food

at home and in industry.

Tools is an implements or device that works through holding by hand in

various processes.

Utensils is an accessories or materials used in working different food

services in processing.

Instruments is a measuring device that display the accurate measurement,

weight and degrees of the different raw materials, ingredients, seasoning and
extenders needed in processing food products.

The equipment, tools, utensils and instruments purchased accompanied

with a manual containing specifications of the uses. It includes the manipulation,
operation, maintenance to lengthen the serviceability.

1. Impose basic safety precautions to follow.

2. Give warning labels.
3. The dimensions, capacities and weights accommodated by it.
4. Give instructions on how to care the equipment, tools or utensils.

comfortable to clean and have a radiant finish.
2. Stainless Steel is used in the construction of food containers with a
supreme tough finish and glossy coating to make comfort in cleaning.

Plastic

It is formed into various combinations of kitchen utensils which is long-

lasting and not costly.

Below are the examples:

1. Acrylics – it has a strong resistance in sunlight used food container cover

dishwashing racks.

Wood
 Wood is porous to bacteria, moisture, absorbs food odors and stains, wears
easily under normal used requires frequent maintenance and repair.

Food processing equipment should be properly maintained in line with the

company or organization’s maintenance system. The condition of machine parts
can be easily detected as to the presence of:

a. Wear and tear

b. Cracks
c. Leaks
d. Corrosion

When there is no malfunction on the different parts of the equipment, it can be

described as:

a. functional
b. fixable

A. Food equipment and utensils have food contact and non – food contact
surfaces.
1. Food contact surfaces are the parts which normally come into contact
with the food.
2. Non – food contact surfaces are the remaining parts and the surrounding
area that should not contact the food during the production.

The Parts of the Compression System of Refrigeration and their functions

1. Compressor – where the heat evolved

2. Condenser – where the gas cools and condenses
3. Control valve – released the condensed gas into liquid
4. Evaporating coils – where the liquid released from control valve pass
5. Freezing compartment – where the evaporating coils found
6. Liquid refrigerant – turns into gas caused to lower the temperature.

Compression System

The Parts of the Absorption System of Refrigeration and their functions

 1. Small burner flame – gives heat that bring out the gas from the
ammonia – water mixture.
2. Insulated box – maintain the coolness and an evaporating gas or refrigerant
3. Evaporating coils – the mixture of ammonia passes
4. Freezing compartment - the evaporating coils found and the ammonia gas
evaporates.
5. Absorber – where ammonia gas goes down and absorbed by water.

Absorption System of Refrigeration

CLEANING AND SANITIZING EQUIPMENT AND INSTRUMENTS:

Sanitizing or disinfecting rids or reduces the number of microorganisms on

surfaces where food comes in contact. Use physical and chemical sanitizing agent
that kill microorganisms remained after cleaning.

Washing with soap and water is important to removed dirt or debris by

physical and/or mechanical. Detergent solution is used for scrubbing surfaces of
tables, 150 – 200 ppm chlorinated water and tools and utensils are also cleansed
and sanitized by soaking.

Chlorine is an inexpensive and most used treatment of water in household or in

factories and a sanitizer to any food processing equipment.

1. Steps in Cleaning equipment and instruments

a. use soap and clean water in washing
b. dip, remove and air dry
2. Steps in sanitizing:
a. prepare an exact amount of chlorine and water
b. dip the equipment or instruments into mixture.
c. remove and dry.
